With summer in full swing now, it is time to get out and enjoy the water. In my opinion, stand up paddle boarding has to be one of the best water sports. If you have never tried it, I would recommend finding a local shop where you can rent a board and get out on the water. Or as the saying goes jump in with both feet and find some new gear in this guide and enjoy. The first time for me out paddle boarding I was hooked. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
NRS Tyrant 4 SUP Board<\/strong><\/p>\n Now you can take the fun of stand up paddle boarding anywhere with the Tyrant 4. The 9′ NRS Tyrant Inflatable SUP Board is your magic carpet for surfing river and ocean waves. Its sporty lines, grippy deck surface, stomp pad and interchangeable fins give you wave-shredding performance unrivaled by other inflatables. The inflatable design means there\u2019s no need for a roof rack and each SUP board comes with a handy carry\/storage backpack!<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Inflatable construction makes it oh so easy to transport and store this high-performance board. No need for a roof rack!<\/p>\n \u2022 4″ thick PVC drop-stitch inflates to 15 psi air pressure for a rigid, no-flex ride that responds to your every paddle stroke and body movement.<\/p>\n \u2022 At 34 inches wide and 9 feet long, the Tyrant is built to catch and surf waves like no other inflatable SUP board.<\/p>\n \u2022 When you’re not challenging waves, the Tyrant’s sleek profile and short waterline help it glide efficiently for flatwater fitness paddling and touring.<\/p>\n \u2022 Removable and interchangeable fins let you select the combination that gives you the best control for the conditions.<\/p>\n \u2022 3-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.<\/p>\n \u2022 MSRP: $995.00<\/p>\n \u2022 http:\/\/www.nrsweb.com\/shop\/product.asp?pfid=18601<\/a><\/p>\n SUPCO Classic Bamboo 11′ 2″<\/strong><\/p>\n The Classic Bamboo is a little more stable than a 10’6″ board with the extra length and volume.
