Ultimate family fun
Paddleboarding is the perfect family activity on the water. Everyone benefits in mind, body and soul from time on the water together.
What makes a great "family" Paddleboard?
1. Durable - Built to withstand rough handling off and on the water and will last a long time with heavy use. You don't want to worry about boards getting dinged, dropped or jumped on, so they need to be made from durable, high-quality materials by reputable industry brands.
2. Stable - Capacity to hold an adult plus small children and adults of all sizes
3. Versatile - Use it as easily on a lake as the ocean and suitable for use as an exercise machine, fishing platform, or a floating water tag station. I've heard of parents getting a workout while paddling with a child napping on the board. Now that's a total Win.
4. Affordable - No need for carbon fiber here; a high-quality and durable paddleboard that will last a long time will be in the $800-$1300 price range. For comparison, the mid-level price range of paddleboards is $1400-$1900 and the high-end price range is $2000-$4000. Keep in mind that inflation and supply chain issues have affected the paddleboard industry and prices have increased significantly in the past two years.
