Gul Cross 10'7 Inflatable SUP Stand Up Paddle Boarding Board Package - Unisex - Inflatable (SUP) stable and easy to handle

Product Information

Tandem boards for two are a fun option on which you can take the whole family and a picnic on one board, but they’re too heavy to paddle on your own.” Gul wanted to be able to upgrade the single layer board, by removing the base glue process from the second (double) layer. This additional glue process has always been messy and very time consuming. So instead of gluing GUL coats the thread structure with a layer of adhesive that has been specially formulated to create both a seal and bond once laminated to high density PVC- completely removing the human factor involved in traditional double layer application. While the nose of the board is rounded for stability, the tail is narrow, which makes it easy to manoeuvre. It has a good glide on flat water but is also very stable. There’s no reason why you couldn’t use this Jobe board in gentle surf and choppier water. Although I’m taller and heavier than them, I found I was also able to keep my balance – although it was less stable for me than a 10ft 6in,. The pointed shape of the nose and tail makes it easy to turn, so it’s a good investment for juniors who are building up their confidence. If the kayak is unwanted, it is your responsibility to arrange and pay for the return to our base in Truro, Cornwall. The kayak can be returned to us by a courier of your choice however, due to the size, weight and handling difficulties, couriers do charge a considerably larger fee compared to a standard small parcel.

The difference is in the detail. By looking at all of the individual elements of drop stitch technology GUL have been able to develop and refined process to improve all aspects of board production. Firstly, removing the process of coating the inner thread section with molten PVC - this process has been made redundant!

Beginner boards tend to be super-stable, which does compromise speed and wave handling but are much more tractable for casual use. If you're planning extended trips around the coast, then choosing a dual-chamber touring style board adds an essential layer of safety, too, something that isn't as useful in the surf and closes inshore.Ready to get on the water? Smith recommends having these essentials with you to make for a safe and enjoyable experience: You should be able to dip the entire blade comfortably into the water while standing (with a slight bend in your knees) on the board. Stand tall and strong

Then you must take into consideration your size and the board size,” Smith says. “In paddle boarding we measure people via their volume (height and weight) in comparison to that of the board. We don't want someone to be on a board that is too small for their body as this will create a lot of instability for the paddler.” Also, just like when running, you can choose your pace and duration while paddle boarding, so you always have the option to turn a leisure paddle into an endurance event and get that intense workout and increased heart rate, Smith says. Just be careful not to overdo it if it’s your first time paddling, so you’re not too sore at the end of the day. Because paddle boarding is a low-impact activity, it’s also great for individuals who deal with arthritis or are recovering from an injury, Smith says. Double layered rails - second-layer reinforced rail band - the final seal provides extra compression and increased stiffness Think of paddle boarding as a hybrid between kayaking and surfing. You’re standing upright on a board, similar to a surfboard, but dipping one long paddle (like an oar) into the water to propel you through the water, performing strokes like you would on a kayak or canoe.

The next big outing was with a friend on the east coast where the water is more murky, the waves are short chop and the bottom is more mud and grave than Cornish sand. Similarly I had a wobble and style judges would have awarded me 2 out of 10 max. It’s important that you have the paddle fitted for your height. Most paddles are adjustable, too. Smith suggests placing the paddle blade in front of your toes, with the paddle handle up, and reaching one arm up so that your palm and fingertips can curl over the top of the T-grip. “You want your second hand to be halfway down the shaft of the paddle.” verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{

A 10ft 6in or 10ft 8in length board with a width of 30 to 34 inches is generally the most popular size for beginners, and for the whole family to enjoy. Is it OK to leave an inflatable paddle board inflated? The paddle slots together, the fin slides in and the leash attaches very easily. Then you attach the pump….. OK so there is no gain without pain. The pain for an inflatable SUP it seems is pumping, be prepared for this bit to take a while with the GUL pump. 5 mins of sweat later you realise maybe the gym is a good idea after all. The board should get to around 12PSI, my first attempt fell well short of this, maybe 8PSI. It does get easier. Finding the right inflatable paddle board can seem like a daunting task,” says qualified coach Jo Taylor, co-founder of Paddle Cabin on the River Medway. “But an all-rounder board is a great way to get started. They’re wide (generally around 30 to 34 inches), stable and easy to turn. We teach beginners on Red Paddle Co ‘Ride’ boards which are 10ft 6in long and 32 inches wide. They’re super stable and sturdy for paddlers of all weights, abilities, and balance.”The Aqua Marina Dhyana is 36 inches wide and, with a solid 296-litre volume, I found it super stable and perfect for practicing beginner moves and balance-training exercises. It would also suit more advanced paddle board yogis. The illustrated mandala design on the board not only looks the part but helped me to find my centre of balance. There is no middle handle to get in the way when doing yoga in the board; instead, the carry handles are either side. Please remember it is your responsibility to inspect and confirm that the goods are in perfect condition before signing. If the goods are damaged and not signed for as such, we are afraid that we cannot accept any liability and the item will not be replaced or reimbursed. Due to the size, weight and handling difficulties associated with kayaks, we are unable to provide free delivery (or included in the cost of the item). If you’re paddling solo, consider wearing a leash, which will keep you connected to your board at all times Position your feet hip width apart either side of the handle in the centre of the board, look ahead (not down) and keep your knees soft and your core engaged. The sooner you start paddling, the more stable you will be, although that might feel scary at first.”
