Tips to choose your board?




Hello everyone, today i will like to help you to choose your board…

The first basic rule is that the heavier the rider is the board should have more volume and should be wider, to promote the stability. Is the rider is smaller it may even be very large. Be careful if you choose a board with more volume than you should, you will be carrying extra weight.

There are 4 general categories of SUP boards, these categories are based on the type of activity for which they will be used: Surf, Allround, Inflatables and Racing/Touring.

SUP Surf: They are generally shorter, with the nose and tail narrower and with more rocker. These qualities make the board more manageable in the wave.

SUP Allround: These kinds of boards are been created to be ride in all conditions. They are very versatile and they are perfect as a first board because they’re very stable, and at the same time maintain a good slide. Ideal for paddling in calm waters but also you can use for surf your first waves.

SUP Race/Touring: The race boards are the fastest one, and also the difficult ones to keep the balance. The touring ones are really similar but the races one are narrower so that they have better sliding, which is equivalent to a higher speed. I don’t recommend race board for a beginner.

SUP Inflatables: The best board you can have if you have space problems or you want to take to a travel. You can find all the styles of inflatables board.

Hope i help you to choose your kind of board.
Thanks,
Jose Maria.

EXPERIENCES

Hi all! How you doing? I am now in the blog to talk about last experience I had in the amazing world of SUP. We said in past posts that in Alicante there is no good weather to enjoy some modalities of SUP like surfing waves because of here, usually there is not enough wind to practice this modality. BUT, last 3, 4 days, we were the lucky ones. Here, in Alicante was good weather that caused I could introduce me to the water to enjoy the waves for my first time. It was amazing, It was incredible feelings out there. It was a cold and windy day, early in the morning and I was sleepy and angry because I love to sleep but at the same time, I felt nervous and impatient to be in the water. The morning went fine and to be my first time surfing with a SUP, I did not do it wrong. I am sure this day was the first time but not the last time, and for this week will be windy too, maybe, it is time to improve my skills...I will tell you in my next post! Carlos.

TIPS for choose your PADDLE

Hello everyone, Today I will like to give you some tips for choosing your paddle if you're thinking to buy one. First, you will need to know there are a lot of kind of constructions and materials, but we will focus on the use you are going to give to your paddle. So there we go.. 1)  If we are going to paddle short crossings, I think the best option for you will be to opt for an adjustable or fixed aluminum and / or fiberglass paddle. They are the cheaper ones. 2) If you prefer to make long crossings or run medium / large waves, a fixed carbon, kevlar or wood rowing will be a good option if your level r is medium or high. For beginners that want to advanced levels, I  recommend an adjustable hybrid rowing, to start moving in the waves and achieve progressively longer crossings. 3)  If what you like is to go down the river ,  I will recommendable you to buy the fiber oars with plastic shovel or reinforced fiber for the blows. ...
