Finding SUP reviews is an important step in the process of buying a paddle board. You wouldn't buy a car without doing a little research. And you wouldn't just go with what the manufacturer has to say, either—clearly, they have a vested interest in selling you a car. The same thing goes for buying a paddle board. Reviews by enthusiasts and especially professionals—people who know boards and have taken a few out for a walk on the waves—offer an insider assessment of the boards out there. So let your keyboard do the walking, and read up before you hit the shops!
Here is your one-stop-shop for stand up paddle board reviews, product comparisons, and insights into the boards out there in the marketplace: construction, shape, performance, and other considerations so you can weigh the options based on value, suitability for your skill level, and whether you'll be flat-water cruising or riding waves and currents.
These stand up paddle board review links are listed because the sites that are well organized, easy to navigate, or just plain interesting—and we’ll keep the list current. So dive in—read up, narrow the field, get some demos, and find the board that's right for you.
