Inflatable SUP board
Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2008 1:20 pm
Does anyone in the bay area own or have experience using an inflatable SUP board? If so, would how would you compare them to non-inflatable boards? Would you buy one again?
Examples being:
http://www.uliboards.com/
http://www.portablekayaks.com/sup
http://www.liquidsurfandsail.com/index. ... ctID=10536
I ask because I do not want to store or haul around a 11' long board plus it's not practical for traveling with either of my vehicles. I dont understand why more companies don't make SUP boards that break down into two or three pieces.
Also, could someone explain why the are so damn expensive?! The core material is cheap and fiberglass is also cheap; nothing like the balsa/PVC foam/carbon fiber we find in kiteboards.
