Okay hello there! I created a sail for my inflatable stand up paddle board. The sail attaches to the front of the board where the bungees are located.

I'm trying to attain the highest possible speed and I'm wondering if investing in a solid body paddleboard can take my SUP Sail idea to the next level and to a higher speed.

So far my top speed with the sail on a Roc inflatable sup is 7.5mph

Here is my question:

Paddleboard A :

weighs about 20 lbs is inflatable. It is lighter, has more drag on the water and is less hydrodynamic than ...

Paddleboard B:

Solid body paddleboard that weighs about 40 lbs but has far less drag on the water surface and is more hydrodynamic

Which board has the ability to reach a higher top speed ?

Thanks!!
