Out of any number of activities you can do on the water, we here at SunnyScope are in love with stand up paddle boarding. This emerging Hawaiian sport is a perfect blend of exercise, agility, and riding on the water. Whether your desire is to ride the surf, navigate the surface of the water, or a little of both, there is a stand up paddle board that will suit your needs. Here are just a few of our favorites from SunnySports’ line of stand up paddle board gear to get you started with an exciting new hobby!
Airhead SUP Inflatable Paddle Board – $879.99 $699.95 FREE SHIPPING!
The Airhead SUP Inflatable Paddle Board is a great option for beginners. The fact that it is inflatable makes it easy to take to any body of water and store it virtually anywhere when not in use. It also transforms into a kayak with an included adjustable seat that connects right to the paddle board, making it versatile as well. The extra rugged drop stitch construction ensures maximum durability and higher air pressure, giving you a sturdy surface to paddle your way through the waves on for many days to come. A large anti-skid pad gives you solid footing when riding the board, and when you’ve had your fun, simply deflate and tuck it away into the included backpack with mesh panels for easy storage. A pump, anemometer (wind speed gauge), and valve wrench are also included. Covered by a limited 3 month warranty.
Airhead SUP Fiberglass Paddle – $99.99 $74.95 FREE SHIPPING!
Of course, you can’t stand up paddle board without your paddle, and the rule of thumb with SUP paddles is that the paddle stand 5-7 inches over the rider’s height, or what is awesomely measured as “shaka” length by experienced boarders. This SUP Fiberglass Paddle from Airhead is in fact the coordinating paddle for the above paddle board, but it is also a great all-around paddle choice. Adjustable from 63-83 inches (160-210 cm), this lightweight paddle will work perfectly whether you’re standing up or sitting down. The blade is Airhead’s “duck foot” shaped rendition, designed for maximum paddling efficiency, and it all weighs less than 3 lbs. Covered by a limited 3 month warranty.
SUPreme Women’s Catch Hybrid SUP Jacket – $119.99 $89.95 FREE SHIPPING!
Although the US Coast Guard requires that all stand up paddle board riders wear a flotation device in certain areas, it’s a good idea to have a piece of gear on that’s buoyant any time you go out on the water. If a vest isn’t quite your thing, check out the Women’s Catch Hybrid SUP Jacket (also available in men’s) from SUPreme. This fitted neoprene jacket is just the thing for not only adding a little buoyancy, but also providing warmth and comfort for when the sun starts to dip beneath the horizon. Just 1.5mm thick, the Catch jacket is lined with ultra soft thermal micro fleece, and non-chafing flatlock construction throughout. The front features a zippered cellphone pocket with attached key holder, and the back has 2 self-closing pockets for storing snacks and hydration. Best of all, it offers UV protection of 50+, which is always a great asset for activities involving sun and water. Covered by a limited 12-month warranty.
