Thanks to my wonderful fiancé, I’m spending more and more time on the water! The calming and relaxing effects are pretty amazing as well as the vitamin D and sunshine!
I love my big surfboard (8’4″) and just floating on the water. An idea occurred to me to get a big raft. But that’s cumbersome. So, then I thought about practicing my turns and paddling strength in the pool. But what about a lounging island or floating flamingo? Boom: the inflatable SUP seemed like a perfect blend of relaxing raft and ocean cruising in an easy to handle, fold-up, easy-storage, and hide-away apparatus.
But which one do I get?

The decision was tough, but I love comparative graphs the Outdoor Gear Lab provides. And with an honest breakdown like that and comparing the different inflatable SUP brands… My decision was made. Plus, I love supporting local!
Aahhh, the SUP is very popular in flat Florida, especially on the rivers and lakes. We don’t have one, yet, because we kayak thr rivers and springs with our toddler on our tandem sit-on-top and don’t have the need for one, yet. I didn’t know about the inflatable SUP. Good for future reference. Thanks and enjoy!
