A few advices to correctly play with the inflatable paddle board. Don’t use abrasive soap. You don’t need to use soap every time, a freshwater rinse and towel down go a long way. However, it doesn’t hurt to clean your board with soap every now and again. If you do decide to use soap, check your manufacturer’s recommendations to make sure you’re graphics stay bright. If nothing specific is suggested look for something without any harsh chemicals. Marine supply shops usually carry several options that work well with iSUPs or you may have non-abrasive Castile soap on hand. If you’re still unsure about the soap you’re using, simply test it on a small section of the SUP and then check the results.
If you’re new to the sport and learning, or just want to have fun riding waves, stability is always going to be the biggest factor. A nice stable inflatable SUP will make all the little things much easier. If you are more advanced and wanting to progress, there are board designs that can work as a one board quiver, but most guys that are really into it will need one to three different boards to span a full range of conditions and styles of SUP. Forget that 8’ board that looks wicked in the surf shop. If you are a first time buyer and weigh more than 100 lbs, that is way too small of a board for you. Remember this rule: The smaller the board, the less stable it is. You first board should be a good all-round board. You will have it for years, and it will be great for friends and family to use when you move onto other boards.
Works the whole body: This is a brilliant advantage of paddle boarding, because your whole body gets a good workout, and most of the time you don’t even realize it. The simple act of walking in to the water with your SUP and balancing on it gives your muscles a workout, and then you have the paddling on top. Let’s look at how the different parts of the body are used when paddling.

Another 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.
