Hydro Force Water Sports

For paddleboard beginners, we would recommend simplicity and versatility so an all round SUP is a great place to get started.

Hydro‑Force™ all around SUPs offer the versatility of different uses and different water types making them ideal for anyone wanting to get into paddleboarding.

For young or smaller riders, the Aqua Journey offers great stability and is a great introduction to the world of paddleboarding. For more comfortable rides, the 2 in 1 Oceana can be converted into a sit down paddleboard with double bladed oar

Width– Wider boards are more stable and narrow SUPs are faster. Our inflatable paddle boards are between 30 and 35 inches wide with 33 inches giving the optimum stability for a beginner or intermediate paddleboarder.

Weight- We specify weight capacity on all our boards and we advise not pushing the capacity to the limit. If you pick a Hydro‑Force™ SUP with a capacity of 120Kg, we’d recommended keeping the weight on the board to 100kg.

Length– Hydro‑Force™ paddle boards ranging from 9ft. - 10ft. Are best for all round paddleboarding, giving you the stability you need in a variety of situations. Our SUPs over 10ft. Are for touring.

Thickness- Our inflatable SUPs are 4.75 - 6 inches thick making them more stable than hard SUPs. Therefore, you do not need to worry about the thickness.

Tall or Heavy?- We recommend a longer board for better stability.

• All-Round Stand-Up Paddle Board
  Best shape for flat water and small wave riding. Being generally wider and versatile, all around SUPs are ideal for beginners too.
• Touring Stand-Up Paddle Board
  Best shape for longer rides on flat water. Being bigger, touring paddle boards have space for children or dogs and are great for paddle board yoga.
• River Stand-Up Paddle Board
  Best shape for longer rides and can be used on flat water or the river. Ideal for more adventurous thrill seekers, stand-up paddle boards for downstream river rides are generally a bit wider for great stability for any challenging or turbulent environments. 
• Convertible Stand-Up Paddle Boards
  Hydro‑Force™ Convertible Paddle Boards offer the best of both worlds between a SUP and a sit-on kayak. With a removable seat and footrest, you can easily convert the SUP into a kayak. Convertible SUPs are great for longer more comfortable rides in a seated position.

• Outer Paddle boards, Kayaks & Boats: Tri-Tech® Material
  This 3-ply reinforced material features a polyester mesh core encased in two layers of PVC to provide superior strength and durability. This premium marine-grade material can withstand extreme nautical conditions and exposure to UV rays. Tri-Tech® is quick drying and crease-resistant, and has been stress tested against weight, strain and movement
• Inner Paddle Boards: Drop Stitch Material
  Drop Stitch is the strongest type of construction available for SUPs and provides equal strength and quality to a hard-sided board.
  To provide this unmatched strength and durability, drop stitch material is a network of thousands of polyester threads that securely connect the surfaces internally. This seals in the air to keep the board rigid, stable and all-weather dependable.
• Kayaks & Rafts: Inflata-Shield Pro™& Inflata-Shield™
  This is an enhanced puncture-resistant material that provides our kayaks with an extra strong barrier to better resist puncture and increased stretch resistance.
• Kayaks: Premium Coated Nylon This premium nylon coating is available on certain kayaks such as the the Ventura Elite™ kayak and can withstand some of the most harrowing elements. The fabric is oil proof, waterproof, and can endure intense UV rays.

If you need something you can easily setup, pack down and transport to and from the beach the Hydro‑Force™ Boats & Rafts are going to be your best option.

If you need something a bit more sturdy that can withstand slightly more harsh water conditions and stay set up for long periods of time, take a look at the Hydro‑Force™ Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs)

• Open style kayak
  This style of kayak looks more like a canoe, featuring high side walls but lower seats than an actual canoe. Open style inflatable kayaks are convenient for getting in and out, and even though less enclosed, the higher walls help prevent water from entering the kayak.
• Sit inside kayak
  Sit inside kayaks are the most traditional design, like one-person rigid kayaks, with an enclosed cockpit. This type of inflatable kayak is great for keeping water out in choppy conditions and especially during colder weather when you don’t want cold wet legs.
