Inflatable paddles

SUP, or stand-up paddle, has really taken off in the last ten years. Easy to handle and adaptable to all levels of ability, the paddle is just as popular with families as it is with boarding enthusiasts and sports enthusiasts looking to embark on long treks.

That's why Prism Surfboards wanted to offer you a choice of top-of-the-range inflatable paddles, suitable for both touring and surfing.

Inflatable paddling: a fast-growing Polynesian discipline

The paddle was originally a Polynesian means of transport. Initially, it consisted of a wooden board that you stood on and paddled forward. As the rigid wooden board is more difficult to transport, manufacturers have come up with inflatable boards that are easy to store and transport.

Today's inflatable paddles are particularly efficient and suitable for a wide range of water sports. It's this versatility and ease of access that have largely contributed to the success of SUP. Paddles can be used at sea, in rivers or on lakes, for long hikes and less strenuous outings. The paddle can also be used for surfing on small waves.

Each type of inflatable paddle has its own level and discipline. The rule of thumb is: the wider the board, the faster the paddle, and the higher the skill level. The wider the inflatable paddle, the more stable it is, with some family boards measuring between 35' and 36'. Long boards fitted with a fin are ideal for racing. Shorter boards, however, are easier to handle and therefore ideal for surfing.

High-performance inflatable paddles for intensive use

Prism Surfboards has selected top-quality, high-performance inflatable paddles that are perfectly suited to intensive use.

We offer three sizes: 10.9', 10.6' and 10'. All our models are both light and rigid, and their inflation pressure corresponds to the highest standard on the market, i.e. 25PSI. Rigidity and the board's ability to build up pressure enable our inflatable paddles to offer the best performance and optimum pleasure of use.

The panels that make up our inflatable paddles are joined using glueless FUSION technology. This method gives each board an unlimited lifespan comparable to the durability of a semi-rigid boat.

Each inflatable paddle offered by Prism Surfboards comes with a 600-denier Cordura storage bag to hold the board and all essential navigation accessories. Your inflatable SUP also comes with a double-flow high-pressure pump that will allow you to inflate your board to its maximum, i.e. 25PSI.

Once you've chosen your inflatable SUP of choice, you can also opt for our accessory packs including leash and oar. You'll be able to launch into perfect surfing or hiking sessions with complete peace of mind.
