One of the most, if not the most, important parts of your SUP kit is your leash. We use leashes for 2 reasons, for your safety, the safety of others. The SUP leash is going to keep you tethered to your board at all times, a hefty floatation device. Read more about why the SUP leash is such an important part of stand up paddling here. There are several types of SUP leash, which we cover in this leash guide, but they all usually attach to you and the board in the same way. The only possible exception would be a leash used on whitewater/rivers that attaches to your waist for even quicker and easier release in case of any emergency.

Attaching your SUP leash can be a little bit confusing the first time around but don’t worry, Green Water Sports have made a little video that helps us connect everything up correctly. Lets take a look at the video: How to attach a SUP leash.

If you’re asking yourself this question, congratulations, you’ve made a very good decision to become more active and have fun at the same time. Stand up paddle boarding, or SUP, has been booming the last couple of years thanks to it’s unique ability to bring together people from all backgrounds, to enjoy nature and keep people fit and happy.

Now, choosing which inflatable SUP to buy can be a little daunting at first. You’re new to the sport, not quite sure what to expect, how often you’ll paddle, etc. Never fear, everyone has the same questions.

So, it comes down to 4 factors:

Your size and weight
How you plan to use the board
Transporting and storing the board
And of course, price

Each factor is important but is variable in ‘importance’ for each buyer. Perhaps you live on the water’s edge and transportation and storage is not important. Perhaps you’re a gazillionaire and price is no object. Any way you slice it, a new board purchase is governed by the above 4 factors. Green Water Sports goes into more detail in their “Choosing a paddle board” article that you should read to understand each factor fully to make the right decision for you. See you on the water!
