Lakes, rivers and oceans have always been places where humans seek sanctuary. Modern times offer us humans a myriad of ways to experience these watery retreats. On any given day prior to this dreaded COVID-19 pandemic, one could look out onto a random body of water near any significant population center and see a handful of stand up paddlers and kayakers. Now, a year into the pandemic, you can look out onto that same body of water and find the number of paddlers is, in many cases, twice what it used to be. And, that number is rising!<\/span>\n<\/span>\n
Now, a year into the pandemic, you can look out onto that same body of water and find the number of paddlers is, in many cases, twice what it used to be. <\/span><\/em><\/span><\/blockquote>\nWith demand for paddle crafts soaring like it is, so many more options are popping up for the consumer. Kayaking overtook canoeing decades ago. It has reigned supreme since then. Today, however, stand up paddle boards (aka “SUP” boards) are quickly gaining steam in this watery race. With this momentum comes innovation. Inflatable technology has improved the industry tremendously. Now, paddlers don\u2019t need a buddy to help them transport their water craft. They can do it all by themselves, and with ease I might add. No need for a pickup truck or a burly roof rack. Demand has increased the options for the consumer. More options and more efficient manufacturing processes have brought down costs. The rise of inflatable SUP boards is here! We\u2019re seeing an entire movement happening right before our eyes!<\/span>\n\nThis essay highlights some of the similarities and, more importantly, some of the differences between inflatable SUP boards and new SUP+KAYAK hybrid pontoon boards.<\/span>\n\n

<\/h3>\n

Inflatable SUP Boards<\/span><\/h3>\nInflatable SUP Boards are quickly gaining popularity in the world of paddling. Being inflatable, they’re light-weight and easy to transport from place to place. Gone are the days of trailering your water craft. Just deflate it and stick it in your trunk. Without the extra weight and complexity, they are extremely user-friendly.<\/span>\n\n\"Inflatable\n\nDrop-stitch technology is becoming the norm when it comes to manufacturing inflatable SUP water crafts. With this innovation they are accommodating a much more broad audience by increasing the weight capacities. Drop stitch technology uses tens of thousands of tough polyester threads tightly woven together under two layers of PVC material. When inflated, these threads become extremely rigid making the platform almost as hard as a solid epoxy board. This wide, sturdy, durable surface allows for a higher weight capacity than many inflatable kayaks. Capacities for these boards can range anywhere from 240 to <\/span>300lbs. Larger boards can even exceed 300lbs.<\/span>\n\nWhile the flat, sturdy platform helps hydrodynamics in some ways, inflatable SUP boards are generally not very fast. Why? It’s all about surface tension. These boards tend to be very wide as well as very long. Their size accommodates a variety of paddlers and experience levels. The more surface area touching and “gripping” the water equates to more drag. More drag means less efficiency when it comes to hydrodynamics\u2014ie. slower speeds.<\/span>\n\n

<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\nStandard SUP boards have minimal freeboard. Freeboard<\/em> is the vertical height from the top edge of the board down to the waterline. Less freeboard means more water splashing onto the paddler. It also means the water conditions required for optimal usage need to be somewhat calm for the majority of paddlers.<\/span>\n\nInflatable SUP boards can navigate into some pretty shallow water, especially when you detach the main fin. This characteristic refers to draft<\/em>. Draft is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the board. In this case, the draft includes the fin, just as you’d include the keel of a sailboat. The draft basically corresponds to how shallow the water can get before the board touches the bottom substrate. Again, when you remove the main fin from the bottom of the board, there aren’t many places this type of board can’t go.<\/span>\n\n

Essentially, this turns the board into a makeshift kayak. Unfortunately, the potential for water splash is fairly high with these boards when the paddler is seated, especially when there some wind chop. A seated position does help in many ways. Paddling “kayak-style” can increase your speed due to more paddle strokes as well as decreased wind resistance. A standing paddler is akin to a sail when the wind increases.<\/span>\n\nStandard inflatable SUP boards are relatively inexpensive as compared to other water crafts. Costs range from $250 all the way up to and beyond $1200.<\/span>\n\n

<\/h3>\n

Inflatable SUP+KAYAK Hybrids<\/span><\/h3>\nHybrids take stand up paddling to a whole new level. These types of boards share many of the same qualities as the standard SUP. They\u2019re light-weight, easy to transport, user-friendly and not too complex, generally. And, just like the standard SUP, the deck on these hybrids is made with drop stitch technology providing a comfortable, stable platform for the paddler. However, in addition to the main deck, durable air-filled pontoons are secured to both sides. Similar to a catamaran, these outer pontoons not only provide added structure and safety, they also help to stabilize the board on the water. Flipping this type of water craft\u00a0 over is nearly impossible!<\/span>\n
Similar to a catamaran, these outer pontoons not only provide added structure and safety, they also help to stabilize the watercraft on the water. Flipping this type of water craft over is nearly impossible!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/blockquote>\nInflatable kayak\/SUP hybrids are ultra fast! The durable side pontoons not only provide structure & stability, they also help with hydrodynamics. This rigid deck is slightly elevated off the water akin to a catamaran’s main deck. This means the pontoons are free to cut through the water with minimal drag which allows the paddler to cover lots of water quickly and efficiently (unlike standard SUP boards). The two pontoon “hulls” also help with tracking efficiency, ie. keeping the water craft moving in a straight line.<\/span>\n\nThe rigid, wide deck with the connected pontoons on inflatable kayak\/SUP hybrids allows for a greater weight capacity than standard SUP boards. Capacities for these boards can be upwards of 350lbs!<\/span>\n\n

Users can paddle freely in the standing position just as they can with the standard SUP models. And with the addition of a seat, the paddler can sit comfortably and paddle as they would with any kayak. This, of course, is predicated on the fact that the user has a kayak paddle or a modular 2-in-1 SUP+KAYAK paddle where the T-grip can be replaced by a paddle blade. With the main drop stitch deck set slightly lower than the top of the outer pontoons, the paddler is providing a comfortable and protective paddler box.<\/span>\n\nFreeboard is increased on inflatable SUP+KAYAK hybrids. This increased security prevents excess splash from hitting the paddler. This, essentially, expands the spectrum of optimal water conditions for this water craft. With these boards, a little wind chop won’t get in the way of your comfort and fun on the water.<\/span>\n\n\"\"\n\nWhen it comes to draft, there’s nothing that compares to these inflatable SUP+KAYAK hybrids. With the added pontoons increasing the water craft’s buoyancy, the draft on these types of boards is extremely minimal. Remove the main fin from the bottom and these hybrids are the closest thing to hover crafts!<\/span>\n\nRegarding costs, inflatable SUP+KAYAK hybrids generally fall somewhere between standard inflatable SUP boards and standard inflatable kayaks.<\/span>\n\nNo matter which style best suits you, both are a ton of fun and will definitely inspire you to get out on the water. The more humans on the water the better\u2014especially in today\u2019s world. Now get out there and paddle!<\/span>\n\n———————————————————–\n
