Some advices to correctly ride the inflatable paddle board. Don’t overdo it. For a more thorough clean on occasion, use a rag or very soft bristle brush to sweep away dirt and debris. When cleaning your board, remember not to get too aggressive in trying to remove marks and stains. SUP is an outdoor sport and your board will take on some aspects of the environment that’ll fade over time. It’s great to have a nice clean board, but it’s best not to cause abrasion.
If you’re brand new to inflatable SUP, use this guideline: The larger you are, the larger your blade can be. This is because bigger paddlers typically have the strength to pull a larger blade through the water. Now, you are almost ready to hit the water with your inflatable SUP. But before you get started, there are a few extra pieces of equipment you will need. PFD (Personal Flotation Device): The U.S. Coast Guard classifies stand up paddle boards as vessels, so if you’re paddling outside a surf or swimming area, you have to have a PFD on board. Adults don’t have to wear the PFD (though we advise it), but children must. Check your state’s regulations for age requirements. The Coast Guard also requires that you carry a safety whistle to warn other boaters. If you expect to be out after sunset, be sure to have a light on board.
Leg muscles. These are used when you balance and as the SUP is continually moving, your legs are continually working to maintain your balance. You may feel stiff when you first start out on your SUP, but it won’t take long for your leg muscles to get stronger. Arms and shoulder muscles. You use your arms and shoulder for paddling, and for many other smaller activities on and around the board, such as carrying it down to the water. At first you may feel pain in the shoulders when you paddle as your muscles will not be used to this type of activity. As you spend more time on the water, you’ll notice your arms and shoulders have more power in them.

One more inflatable stand up paddle board trick: Use a leash: This actually goes for all stand up paddle boarders but the sooner you are aware how vital a leash is in any kind of condition the safer you and everyone else will be when you are paddling. There are different types of leashes and different types of attachment points depending on what style of paddling you are doing, so be sure to check out these two articles: “Which leash is right for me?” and “Why do I need a leash on a SUP?”
