The riders of the latest craze to hit
the waters can take their SUP boards just about anywhere there is water. Just
about anyone can use one of the Stand
Up Paddle boards found among the wide range in our online SUP
collection.
The stand up paddle board is
famous for its high speed and easy handling. Usually they come with various
graphics from different brands. There is a standard recommendation while buying
stand up surfing boards. The SUP boards have three different sizes– 8’2, 9’2,
and 10’2 in length. Based on surfing experience each length has another three
categories to choose from. They are termed as Novice, Intermediate and
Advanced. A weight range is suggested for each category.
The stand up paddle boards are
surf boards where the surfer stands up instead of laying down on the board. A
rider uses a long paddle to propel him or herself through the water.
The Stand Up Paddle boards are
now classified as vessels by the US Coast Guard as of October 3, 2008.
Therefore, the rider of the Stand Up Paddle board is now required to
wear a floatation device as a part of the safety protocol while paddling. The
board can be used in the ocean or on fresh water like lakes and calm streams
and rivers. The amount of people taking up the sport is considerable because
they don’t have to just be used in the surf.
The Stand Up Paddle board is showing
up on lakes in Montana and rivers in Oregon. They are great for exploring
waters that are hard to launch a boat or too small for boats.
