Paddle Board Components for Your SUP

While there aren’t too many components to consider for a SUP, there are certain paddle board accessories that can enhance your experience on the water. If you have an inflatable paddle board, it's essential to use a reliable iSUP pump to inflate your board before venturing onto the water. Hand pumps and electric pumps are available, with electric pumps requiring significantly less effort.

Regarding paddle board fins, you generally have three types to choose from: flatwater SUP board fins, all-round multi-fins, and SUP race fins. The flatwater fins are the most prevalent, so if you've purchased an iSUP, you should opt for flatwater or multi-fins.

This category also includes essential SUP leashes. These come in either coil or straight designs: coiled leashes are typically favoured as they curl up on the deck, eliminating leash drag in the water; straight leashes are more advisable when riding waves.

Additional common accessories for your SUP include paddle board bags, vent plugs, and paddle covers. If you're thinking of purchasing an inflatable stand-up paddle board but are unsure which type to select, you can receive helpful advice from our video Buying a SUP Board.
