Inflatable SUP’s are super convenient if you don’t have anywhere to store a hard board, and they are fairly light which makes it easy to lift onto your car’s roof racks.  The best part is that they pack into a backpack that’s small enough to be your check-in luggage on a plane, which means you can take your paddle board on every holiday!

We have been paddling on inflatable Stand Up Paddle (SUP) boards for a couple of years,  and we love them!  When it came to buying our own boards, we decided to buy the Starboard 12’6 x 30″ Astro Touring boards.  They are great for gliding along flatwater and provide enough balance when you’re the chop.    In the right conditions, you can even catch a few small waves.

We’ve travelled with our inflatable boards on long haul flights to Singapore, Thailand and Tonga; and domestic flights from Sydney to Hamilton Island, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.  We even took them on a 5 day live-aboard sailing charter around the Angthong Marine Park, Koh Tao and Koh Phangnan in the Gulf of Thailand! FUN!

Bring your family and friends along to one of our iSUPtastic sessions, held at Cheong Mon beach every Tuesday at 10am, and we’ll show you our range of Starboard inflatable paddle boards.
