Standup paddle boarding (SUP) is a fun and easy way to enjoy lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Standup paddle boarding is easy to learn and is suitable for people of all ages and skill levels.
Choosing a Paddle Board
It is important to note that most paddle boards are "one size fits all" and can accommodate most (if not all) environments. However, they can be customized and come in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on their use.
When it comes to choosing the right paddle board, you need to consider your gender, age, height, skill level, and the environment you will be using your board.
Whether it is paddling down your local spring feed river, exploring lakes, fishing the back country or flats, or just getting great exercise, there are many different style boards that will fit your adventure.
If you plan to adventure in calm, flat waters, a more stable board may be appropriate. A longer, wider, and more buoyant board will provide the most stable platform.

Types of Fins
Single Fin - SUPs equipped with a single fin provide for a straighter path while paddling and will require less compensation to steer your board. This setup will be less dynamic, track straighter, and will be harder to turn quickly.
Multiple Fins - Typically shorter than single fin setups, double/triple/quadruple fin setups allow for quicker turns but require more effort to steer.
