When choosing an inflatable SUP board for rental use, it’s important to consider pressure and additional accessories. The operating pressure often reflects the quality of the board – higher-quality boards typically start at 15 PSI, which provides the board with enough rigidity to maintain its shape under load. A properly pressurized board glides smoothly over the water instead of bending into a ‘banana shape’ that pushes water ahead. However, it’s good to note that the materials used in construction are more important than the pressure rating itself.
The boards are made from PVC material, where the thickness and quality of the PVC are essential factors. In addition, the internal structure – threads connecting the deck and bottom – keep the board’s shape under pressure. This structure is called dropstitch material. There are several types of dropstitch: thin or standard weave, reinforced, sparse or dense, and the most advanced X-woven versions used in premium boards. The best dropstitch is reinforced and tightly woven, which also allows for higher operating pressure.
At Vesiurheilu.fi, all boards use top-quality PVC and dropstitch materials for their price range. With premium materials, the board remains stiff even at lower pressures and doesn’t need to be inflated beyond 15 PSI, even if the maximum pressure is 25 PSI, as seen in flagship models like Saimaa SUP Sun and Moon.
Inflatable SUP boards are usually sold as complete packages. Pay attention to the included accessories, as they vary greatly in quality. The most important component is a properly adjustable paddle with an angled blade that improves efficiency. Paddles range from beginner-friendly aluminum models to ultra-light and rigid carbon fiber paddles, which also affect the overall package price.
All our SUP packages include a durable carrying backpack, allowing you to easily transport your board for years to come. Carry bags come in various types: fabric, waterproof, and wheeled models – and you can purchase additional ones as needed.
A SUP leash is also a highly recommended safety accessory – in windy conditions, a loose board can drift away surprisingly fast if you fall into the water. Make sure to choose a coiled leash so the cord stays comfortably on the board while paddling and doesn’t drag in the water causing extra resistance.
