Best Touring Inflatable SUP

A touring board is the best option for those who want to go faster and cover more distance with less effort.

A touring board with a leaner pointier nose is going to cut through the water better and get you from point A to point B faster.

It is ideal for downwind adventures, fitness paddles and for those who prefer to go just a little bit faster.

Whereas all-around boards are more versatile and typically more stable they tend to plow through the chop, riding on top of the water.

A good touring board will instead slice through the water smoothly creating less drag and more momentum as you propel yourself forward.

We have found that touring inflatable SUP's have evolved over the years.

There are leaner touring boards truly designed for speed and efficiency and there are wider models that offer more stability but less speed. Which you choose will depend on your fitness level and experience.

Speaking from my own experience, I started off with an all-around board initially several years back and eventually upgraded to a touring SUP for faster, longer paddles.

Although I still use all-around boards often, especially when paddling with my dogs, I love the feel of riding on a good touring SUP and find more and more the touring boards are the ones I am taking out most.

The list below contains paddle boards in a variety of price ranges so you can find a great ISUP regardless of your budget or skill level.
