In this informative video, Robert from Blue Planet provides an honest and unbiased look at the pros and cons of using inflatable SUP boards compared to traditional hard boards. He highlights the major advantage of portability with inflatables, making them easy to transport and store, especially for people with limited space or those who need to travel with their boards. Inflatables are also known for their durability and impact resistance, making them a great choice for paddling in rocky waters or for those concerned about safety, especially with their soft and forgiving surfaces. However, the downside of inflatable boards lies in the need to pump them up before each use, as well as the noticeable difference in stiffness and performance compared to hard boards, particularly in surfing conditions. Additionally, the risk of deflation due to punctures is a concern, and the environmental impact of disposing of damaged boards should be considered. Overall, while inflatables have their advantages, if performance is a priority, especially in surfing or racing, a hard board is still the superior choice. #InflatablesVsHardBoards #PortabilityAdvantages #DurabilityandImpactResistance #PumpingUpAsADownside #PerformanceDifference
