Race & Touring SUPs

Racing paddle boards and touring boards are both great for long distance. One big difference between touring and racing SUPs is that racing paddle boards are extremely narrow.

Touring SUPs combine the best qualities of an all-around SUP and a race board. Their speed and stability bridge the gap between an allround SUP and a race SUP. Faster than an allround and more stable than a race SUP; touring boards typically range from 11′-14′ long and 30-32″ wide. 

Race SUPs are very long with a displacement hull. Since racing boards are narrow, they are not very stable. They glide through the water better than any other paddle board. Real racing paddle boards are always hard composite boards and range in size from 12’6″-14′ long and 24″-27″ wide.
