Cheap Paddleboards - What You Need to Know

We all like to shop for a bargain. But let's be clear, when we say "cheap" paddleboards, we aren't referring to quality. When shopping for a cheap paddleboard, we don't want to compromise quality and safety. First, think about how and where you will paddle. Will you be on small, sheltered ponds or lakes? Long stretches of river? Whitewater? Are you a day tripper or will this be used for weekend expeditions? Learning about the various types of paddleboard material is not something to do in the checkout line or when you're miles from shore or in a quick-moving stretch of river.

These are your starting points in your exciting quest to buy a paddleboard. Price is always a factor, it's just not the only one. If your starting points have yet to be decided, maybe check out a few of these articles first:
