WAPPA vs. THE COMPETITION
PADDLE BOARD COMPARISONS

We're proud of our paddle boards, and we want you to compare Wappa to some of the top global and North American brands.
Not many companies are willing to stack themselves head to head with the best, but we're not afraid!
After reviewing these paddle board comparisons, you'll know why!!

WARRANTY COMPARISON

No other major paddle board brand has a FIVE YEAR warranty like a Wappa!

CORE COMPARISON

A paddle board's core is the foundation of its strength.
DENSITY = STRENGTH
The higher the core density, the stronger the paddle board.

ECO
COMPARISON

We compared everything that goes into making a paddle board to assess it's environmental impact.

We evaluated the following eco indicators to come up with this graph:
- How the factory is powered
- Packaging
- Commitment to only eco friendly products
- ECOBOARD requirements
- construction techniques
- sustainable materials
- water based paint/pigment
