Why Cheap Paddle Boards Might Cost You More

Materials and Durability: Budget paddle boards frequently utilize lower-grade materials such as single-layer of fiberglass or low-density foam cores. These materials can compromise the board's durability and longevity, leading to issues like punctures, warping, or structural failures over time.

Performance Limitations: Inexpensive boards may lack the design precision and rigidity required for optimal performance. This can result in decreased stability, poor tracking, and reduced speed, which can hinder your overall paddle boarding experience.

Long-Term Costs: While the initial investment in a cheap paddle board is lower, the need for frequent repairs or replacements can accumulate over time, potentially surpassing the cost of a single, high-quality board.

My CLASSIC is a dream come true. I used to have an inflatable but it was always unstable and frustrating. I got a Wappa after trying my friends. Soooo much better now.

I’ve just come back from my summer vacation where I paddle boarded daily (with the WAPPA, of course) and where I only have one it was a reminder that I want to invest in another, since my blowup paddle boards are convenient but I don’t truly love paddling with them. I don’t love sharing my WAPPA but always end up sharing it so others can experience the ride.

I've used lots of boards. Most are crap. Wappa isn't one of them. You make great boards.

I didn't want a Wappa at first because it was more money than I wanted to spend. I'm glad I talked myself into one (Swirl). I love it!
