A few recommendations to correctly play with the inflatable stand up paddle board. Store your inflatable SUP in the right temperature range. This is less important than the key factors 1. keeping your board dry and 2. keeping it out of the sun, but climate control is something SUPers ask about often. Anywhere between 40-110 degrees Fahrenheit (5-40 degrees Celsius) is recommended. Again, inflatable SUPs are durable, but extreme conditions aren’t ideal for any sporting equipment and that’s true for your paddle board too. Avoid freezing cold or baking hot conditions.

Single fins track straight and are generally used with a larger fin, so they tend to be more stable. They have a smooth, dependable feeling while turning but lack quick rail to rail maneuvering and tend to have a governor on speed. Three fins is the most common for wave riding. They blend the best combination of stability, speed, and performance. Quad fins are the fastest setup of them all and turn well —some of the better surfers don’t like them because a thruster feels so positive off the bottom of the wave. Most inflatable SUP beginners should start with a large single fin setup for stability. Once you have become more proficient on your board, you can look to start experimenting with different fin setups.

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.

An extra inflatable stand up paddle board tip: Paddling with your core: I.E. Don’t use your arms. This may sound a little weird at first but paddling is best done by your core. These are the strongest muscles of your body and provide the most effective power for your paddle stroke. Standing up tall and using just your arms to paddle, will be very tiring and you won’t get much power. Watch this video for more on paddle technique: Stand up paddle board basics – Using Your Core.
