What’s an “All Around” Paddle Board? This shape of this board is stable at low speed and easy to turn. It's best for recreational paddling, learning to surf small waves or riding with kids and dogs. It performs well on flat water, coastal waterways and surfing small waves. These are the most popular boards as they resemble a surf board shape and are accessible to all levels of paddlers from beginners to experts. This board can do it all; the name “all around” is the best description.

All Around stand up paddle boards have removable deck rigging to carry extra gear or stow a life jacket.  Most "All Around" boards have a similar shape and size but they are made in a variety of constructions. The length and volume of the board determines how fast it will glide how much weight it can hold and still maintain float and stability. The typical length is 10'6" to 11'6" long and anywhere from 170 to over 300 liters of volume. The construction of a paddle board determines the board’s weight, durability and performance.
