How to Store Your Paddleboard at Home | SUP Storage Tips

One of the biggest questions you may have when buying your first paddleboard is the issue of storage: "where on earth will I put a 10 foot (or longer) board?" 

Some people opt to buy an inflatable paddleboard for this very reason - because it deflates to store compactly when not in use. But lack of space should not be a deciding factor in whether you choose to get a rigid board, even if you live in a small place. SUP storage racks make use of space you didn't even realize you had. There are so many different kinds of paddle board racks that maximize the use of space, like SUP ceiling racks, freestanding SUP racks, outdoor SUP racks, and more.

That's why we've got a number of different SUP boat racks to maximize your boat's space while taking along your paddleboard.

Paddleboarders Beware of Weather and Wind Conditions | A Story of Caution

Here is a story of caution to all the paddleboarders out there – check the weather and the wind conditions before setting out on your next SUP adventure!

Two sisters paddled out from Tybee Island, Georgia to enjoy some time out on the water. 8 hours later, they ended up on the shore of Hilton Head Island, sunburned and exhausted.  Stormy weather hit the area where they were paddleboarding leaving them at the mercy of the storm and the wind, which blew them approximately 8 miles north, across the mouth of the Savannah River and then into the Calibogue Sound.

Thankfully, both of the women were wearing life jackets and reached shore on Hilton Head’s beaches with the help of onlookers.  Check out the map above of the approximate locations where they started and ended up...

By: Jamie Jiron

Once something is going to be a movement involving a large number of people, it's probably a wise notion to involve a set of guidelines. For instance God had to give the 10 commandments, or else today we would still be eating forbidden apples and trusting snakes in order to make decisions. 

It is important that as a SUP community we all look towards something that we can all agree on, being it such a booming and relatively new industry.  

Thus I give you the 10 SUP commandments:

City SUP Essentials | Urban Paddleboard Accessories

By Jamie Jiron

One of the (many) beauties of the ocean is its ability to put one’s mind at total tranquility; the relaxing sounds of waves soothe the internal soul.  I am probably the furthest thing from a city person, yet I grew up around the city for my entire life. I learned to SUP down in the Outer Banks, and absolutely fell in love with it. I needed to SUP everyday for hours on end.
