Does Paddleboard Thickness Really Matter? Yes – but maybe not how you think…
Written by Lydia Burdett /
If you’re choosing an inflatable paddleboard, it’s easy to assume thicker must be better. More board means more stability – right? Wrong!
In fact, a board that’s too thick will actually feel less stable and harder to control. That’s why we make our beginner and all-round paddleboards 4.7" thick, rather than the 6" thickness you’ll often see from other brands. For learning how to SUP and general recreational paddling, that lower-profile design gives you a more connected, confidence-inspiring ride, while our unique MSL® construction keeps the board incredibly rigid.
