Windsup refers to a SUP board with a sail—a combination of a windsurf board and a SUP board—allowing you to paddle on calm days and enjoy the power of the wind on breezy days. Inflatable windsup boards fit easily into even a small car, as the board packs into a standard SUP backpack and the entire rig (mast, boom, sail) goes into its own convenient carrying bag. Assembling the rig takes only a few minutes and requires no tools. Our Mistral LT is a hard-shell, full-featured windsurf board, but you can also paddle it thanks to its high buoyancy. The most important feature of a windsup board is a good center fin, which enables sailing upwind.
If you already have a SUP board without a mast base, you can use Duotonen’s handy accessories to convert almost any SUP into a windsup board. You’ll need a removable center fin, an inflatable sail, and a mounting adapter for the sail, all of which can be found in our selection below.
