Best Touring Paddle Boards (iSUPs)Tested and Reviewed | 2024

Do you like to explore your local waters or adventure off the beaten path? Or do you like going fast and feeling like flying above the water with near-effortless paddling? If these sound good to you, then a touring iSUP is exactly what you need. Where all-around iSUPs are relatively wide and focus on maximum versatility and easy stability, touring paddle boards trade off some stability for speed and efficiency to take you farther with each stroke.

Top Picks for Best Fishing SUPs

Best Inflatable SUP for Fishing Tested and Reviewed | 2024

According to TakeMeFishing.org, about 1-in-5 Americans enjoy some form of angling – myself included. Ask any shore angler and they’ll tell you that if they could just get their cast a little further, or a little closer to that bit of cover, or if they were able to fish more shoreline (or miles of riverbank) then they’d absolutely catch more, bigger, fish. At least that’s what I tell myself! One of the best ways to improve those conditions is to leave the shore and get out on the water – and Stand Up Paddle Boarding offers the perfect way to…

Best Paddle Board for Kids | 2024 Buying Guide

Stand Up Paddle Boarding is an incredibly fun way to recreate with your whole family on the water. Often, we can paddle with young children with us right on the front of our all-around inflatable SUPs. But as kids get a little older, a little bigger, and a little more independent, there comes a time when everyone is going to have even more fun when the kids graduate to their own paddle boards. For many kids, a full-size all-around iSUP is just too big to be able to reasonably paddle. The extra length and width of these boards make them…

Best Dry Bags for Paddle Boarding | 2024

There are certain things we like to bring with us wherever we go. Phones, wallets, and keys are the usual suspects, and sometimes we need to bring those (and others) along with us on the water, but we don’t want everything getting wet.

Top 7 Picks for Waterproof Fanny Packs | 2024

Getting wet is half the fun of Stand Up Paddleboarding. Whether you are goofing around with friends, challenging yourself to learn new techniques, or just getting the hang of standing up at all, falling in is part of the sport. While getting ourselves wet isn’t necessarily a problem, it can be an issue for some of those important things we carry with us.
