r/Paddleboard

Hello, I've gone paddleboarding a few times and would like to get a board for my family to use to get to peanut island so we can go often and fully enjoy it. We are a family of 2 avg size adults M & F and one child. Total weight would be slightly over 300lbs plus a cooler, snorkle gear, required lifejackets. I've never been on a paddleboard with multiple people only by myself. My friend is letting me use her board so I can test it out. Also I see several kids kayaks for salee on FB marketplace not sure who easy it would be to teether that to a PB?

Chat told me to get a Isle or an iRocker.

Isle is currently on sale and will give the e pump for free.

1st pic: where air goes in

2nd pic: the hose they provided that easily attaches to the airway opening

3rd: other end of the hose

4-7: attachments for air compressor

so the hose fits perfect, my issue is that it's a handpump.. and not a dual action one... so I was DEAD pumping it to 12psi and didn't have much energy to go down the river 😂 so I get an air compressor (I need one for my car in case of emergency anyway, my old one died a few months ago). and yeah there's just no easy way for me to connect the compressor to the paddleboard or to the hose. im open to getting creative!

any ideas how to attach compressor to hose? or compressor to paddleboard? is there a special attachment anyone knows about for this?

Finally ready to paddle in Canada!

Looking for any advice you all have!

Summertime is around the corner and I'm in the pre-production stage of a rad project where we will circumnavigate Lake Tahoe via SUP.

6 days, 72 miles, and a heck of a lot of blue!

I will be camping along the way, eating dehydrated food, candy, and drinking out of the lake.

One thing I have learned while researching for this project is just how complicated the high water line is around Lake Tahoe.

Thank you!

So in a fight or flight I pulled out the air valve on my board. Not understanding how the valve was simply repairs by screwing it back in.. I used JB Weld to re-seal the valve and carry on. Now I have some time I want to repair right. The glue came off and I need to do some all or more cleanup as seen. Question I have is : 1 - should I get a new air valve ( old one is beat up 😳) 2 - should I place a repair patch as the valve hole was damaged … use big or small? 2a- should I just try to use jb weld to re seal around the valve when screwed in? 3- just screw in old valves as there should be enough to hold the pressure and use ?
4- just say sorry and buy new?
I am
Not an expert so love any suggestions or methods that could help.

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to get my first SUP. It’ll primarily be used for relaxing on the lake with friends, and i anticipate using it quite a bit over the summer. I’m 5’4”, about 110 lb, and have a 55lb German shepherd that will accompany me occasionally. Between these two options, which is a better option?

I prefer the 10’6” one for aesthetic purposes (i despise the color on the 11’) and less bulk, but I don’t know if it will be too unstable on days I bring my dog along.

Can someone help me figure out which side of the paddle is supposed to face the front?

I bought a cheap one off Amazon and I’m not sure which way the paddle should face …
