Stand up paddle boards - inflatable any good?

Selling THEM would have been smart. I am not that smart apparently.

The IDEA of paddle boarding exceeds the fun of paddle boarding 11 times out of 10

My irockers have been holding up strong for 3 years now with a lot of abuse. Great boards for the price

Same, 3 years in and mines still going well. Used it moreso for rafting down the river than SUP this summer as it’s great on the river.

Ive used mine a quite a few times. Not as much as I would have liked this year, just been busy doing other stuff.
But I have a group of friends that do this a lot and we have our own paddleboard chat group. Even those that don't have a paddleboards, their friends are welcome to tag along for the ride. We take turns going out on the lakes.

A buddy uses a 12v air compressor for inflating tires.
Something like this. But from crappy tire.

Has this adapter.

Well I should invest in the adapter @mr2mike posted back 8n 2021. Went to inflate today and the hose end that the adapter screws into was completly detonated. Was stored in the box so no idea what happened to snap it off.


Of course the hose for the hand pump is slightly different, and of course I didn't have the hand pump with me anyway.
But with the father-in-law's help we got the thing back together good enough to pump up to 9psi. Started leaking after that. I guess the liquid plumbing thread compound isn't rated for high pressure on damaged plastic threads.


9 psi is probably enough considering its supposed to get hot later and these things have been rolled up for 20 months.

Can highly reccomend bringing a strap to keep it rolled for packing.

I told my wife if she didn’t use her paddle board this summer I was going to burn them.

She finally went out.

Should have tried that 4 years ago.

Now that you have a jet ski, it's suddenly a fun towable!

That’s almost hilarious enough to work

It'll probably nose down when you go fast enough and flip the passenger off, but at least it's a more entertaining ending than burning it.

Mine have a curve to them, bet they'd work as a towable.

Had to buy new hose off amazon for the inflator. Works. Boards still work. Kids still use them for like ten minutes then get mad if I put em away.

I bought inflatable kayaks, have had great fun with them this year.

[ExtraSlow]

These have seats and kayak paddles. Nobody uses the seat, seems everyone prefers the kayak paddles.

Where's the best place to get inflatboards these days?

[suntan]

Costco has one that is extremely popular.

Costco seems to be the most popular. I got mine at Newell and they are still in business and seem to provide a quality product.

figured I'd post here, does anyone have a design on a simple paddleboard cart? Online ones are like a hundred bucks. Just needs a wheel and axle and a strap to hole the boards (s). Ideally can be broken down a bit for storage / transport. Seems so crazy simple.

[mr2mike]

There's surfboard holders for bikes. Start there?
