Are Hard Paddle Boards Easier?

Are Hard Paddle Boards Easier?

Paddle boarding is a great way to get out on the water and enjoy the outdoors. But when it comes to choosing the right board, there are a few things to consider. One of the biggest decisions is whether to go with a hard or inflatable paddle board. While both have their advantages, many people wonder if hard paddle boards are actually easier to use. Let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of hard paddle boards and see if they really are easier.

Advantages of Hard Paddle Boards

One of the biggest advantages of hard paddle boards is that they are more stable than inflatable ones. This makes them great for beginners who may not be as comfortable in choppy waters or for those who want to try out different activities like fishing or yoga on their board. Hard boards also tend to be faster than inflatables, so if you’re looking for speed then this is definitely something to consider. Finally, hard boards have better tracking capabilities which means they will stay in a straight line better than an inflatable board would.

Disadvantages of Hard Paddle Boards

The main disadvantage of hard paddle boards is that they can be more expensive than inflatables. They can be difficult to transport since they are solid and can’t be folded into a back pack and stored inside a vehicle. This means you’ll need a car roof rack in order to transport your board from place to place. Once you have the roof rack, it only takes a couple of minutes to attach and remove your board from the rack. Outside of the initial cost of the rack investment, transport is no longer a disadvantage.

Are Hard Paddle Boards Easier?

When it comes down to it, hard paddle boards are easier. If you want a superior experience or you just want something stable and easy to maneuver then a hard board is the way to go. However, if you have limited transport options and a smaller budget then an inflatable might be better suited for your needs. Enjoy your next paddle!
