Now is the perfect time to buy a SUP, with lots of great paddleboard deals out there. We highlight why this is, and what you should consider before you buy, to make sure you get the most for your buck!There’s nothing like a good deal and saving yourself a bit of money. With many SUPs currently being in stock, due to reasons I speak about in this video, there is definitely more boards to choose from at the moment and at a good price too. But when choosing the right board, make sure it not only works for you on the water, but that it will also last as long as possible.Remember it’s not always the case, but generally speaking the more you spend the better board you’ll get.If you’re a SUPboarder Pro subscriber check out the bonus video below where I name our top iSUP and composite board brands this year.Additional PRO feature here:https://supboardermag.com/2025/02/05/we-chat-about-our-top-current-sup-brands-isup-composite/(requires paid subscription)

Will from SUPboarder catches up with Ross Bazely (Kitebarn / Armstrong Rider) who has been coaching Will through his downwind journey and talks of how he has had to think differently to succeed in Downwind foiling. Ross tells us about his own foiling for the past few months where his goal is to downwind foil but the reality is hard to achieve with a busy job and family life. Instead Ross has been loving focusing on the elements of downwind foiling by progressing his SUP skills, putting the prone foil board aside and starting to see the benefits! Is this the REAL LIFE reality of Downwind Foiling?

With so much board choice it can be hard to know where to start when buying a SUP. But definitely the first and biggest decision you need to make it whether to go inflatable or hard?
Late last year we published a video to help you make the decision yourselves, but then we realised we should post this as a pod cast as the audience is growing so quickly here!
Making the decision to go inflatable or hard is not as simple as just whether or not you can be bothered to pump it up! There's lots more to consider... such as how you're going to store and transport it, board weight, time to set up, how it feels and performs on the water, what type of paddling you plan to do, how tough you are on your kit, how much money you have to spend etc... We hope you find this video useful and it gets you thinking and making the right decision, about which is best for you... inflatable or hard?
If you want to watch this video version, its available at SUPboardermag.com or on our Youtube Channel.
Thanks for the team at Fatstick for sponsoring this video - great when brands are committed to helping consumers make the RIGHT buying decisions as its EXACTLY what we want too!

• What is drafting?
• Is drafting allowed?
• How can you draft?
• When is the best time to draft during a race?
Drafting is the act of following someone very closely behind to get into their slipstream. it reduces your effort, conserves energy and is a very tactical part of SUP racing. These tips are best used for long distance races when the water is calm.

This info may be obvious to some. But we know there are many of you paddlers out there who haven’t even given this a thought! You just load your big dry bag under the front bungee for the duration of your paddle, stand by the boards handle and off you go! But you really should give it some thought, because it can make your paddling all the more enjoyable, and easier too.
The extra length and width commonly found with a touring board, provides plenty of deck space for carrying extra luggage, whether it be extra bags or your dog/child who wants to come along for the adventure too.
Well designed touring boards will have plenty of bungee tie downs, to not only allow you to safely and securely carry those extra bags, but also to give you the option of repositioning that extra weight when paddling in different conditions.
It’s important to consider where both your body and cargo weight positions are on the board when paddling in different conditions, to get the most efficiency out of your board and your paddling. This might mean moving your body position on the board, your bag positions or both.
Donna-Lou Nixon and Rachel Martin recently completed a 250km circumnavigation by SUP of the Lofoten Islands in Norway. We sat down with these amazing women and asked questions about their epic adventure.
