Its obvious to see Stand up paddling is growing, and with this growth there are many who think they have what it takes to jump on the band wagon producing boards with designs that look like they were drawn on the back of a cereal packet….
Yes…most paddle board brands have their boards made in Thailand or China where the cost of production is cheaper, but make sure before you buy a board – you have after sales support and warranty from the manufacturer.
There are some funny looking boards appearing on the market at the moment ! A shaper with any knowledge will tell you if it will work as intended… this pic makes me laugh !

If you want to get into Stand up paddling make sure you buy the best and correct equipment for what you intend to do with it.
Waves, flat water, racing etc etc
