This buyer's guide includes everything you need to know before you buy your first SUP!
"I can't keep my balance!" you say to your friend as you pull yourself back onto your new board.
You've taken a few lessons. Tried all the suggestions. Practiced the motions again and again. And yet...
You still can't maintain balance on your brand-new board...
The board you spent a big chunk of change on just a few short weeks ago.
It's beyond frustrating.
But it's also probably not your fault. It's not because of your lack of balance. Or athleticism.
It's simply just — not every board works for every paddler.
Everyone requires a board that fits their specific attributes.
But with so many options available on the market...
And with most boards being quite pricey...
It can be difficult to know exactly what you need in order to make the correct purchase without being full of regrets while on the water.
Let's face it — there is nothing worse than wasting a large chunk of change on something that just doesn't work for you.
And with most SUP boards being expensive, you need to know that you made the correct choice on your first try.
Luckily for you, there's an excellent way to avoid this buyer's remorse.
