Shop Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUP) in UAE from Adventure HQ

Getting on the water is simple with Adventure HQ. Choose the right sup board for calm creeks or coastal paddles, then round it out with paddles, pumps, and safety essentials. New to paddle board adventures or leveling up for longer tours, we’ve got you covered.

How to Choose The Right SUP

• Board type: All-around for versatility, touring for speed and tracking, and surf shapes for waves. Start with an all-around if you want one board that does it all for paddleboarding.
• Construction: Inflatable for portability and small-space storage; rigid for maximum glide and responsiveness. If you’re doing paddle boarding dubai beach sessions and need easy transport, inflatable is usually the win.
• Volume & size: Match rider weight plus cargo. Wider boards feel more stable for beginners; longer boards track straighter for distance.
• Package vs board-only: Board packages bundle paddle, pump, leash, and bag for value. Singles let you customize or upgrade components.
• Safety & comfort: Always add a coiled leash and a PFD; use sun protection and stash keys/phone in a dry bag or waterproof case.

Choosing the Right Paddle Board & Gear

• Inflatable vs rigid: Inflatables win for portability, storage, and travel; rigid boards reward technique with the best glide and responsiveness.
• All-around vs touring: All-around shapes turn easily and feel stable; touring shapes are longer and narrower for speed and tracking on coastal routes.
• Aluminum vs carbon paddles: Aluminum is durable and budget-friendly; carbon trims swing weight and feels snappier over distance. See adjustable options to share among family or for paddleboarding travel.

Care, Fit & Setup

• Rinse with fresh water after each session. Dry fully before storage.
• Store inflatables slightly deflated and out of direct sun.
• Check fin screws, leash, and inflation valve before every paddle.
• Typical inflatable range is 12 to 15 PSI - always follow the board’s spec.
