Once you have tried water skiing, you will want a tour paddle board of your own, so what kind of tour paddle board is more suitable for you?
The paddle board should be chosen according to your body size. If the board’s displacement doesn’t match your weight, your board won’t be able to drag you out of the water. The volume and weight of the board are two very important reference factors when choosing a paddle board.
Volume: The volume of the touring paddle board can be expressed in liters. The buoyancy created by the volume of the board gives the board the ability to carry heavy loads. The larger the volume of the board, the more weight it can carry.
A short board can have good buoyancy if it is wide and thick. In the same way, if the long board is narrow and thin, the buoyancy will not work. So, if a 200-pound surfer wants to surf, he can choose a short, maneuverable, but bulky board (wide, thick).
Load capacity: Every tour paddle board has a certain load capacity. It is very important to know the load capacity of the board. If your weight is too heavy for your board, then your board will have a deep draft and will not be easy to slip. water.
When choosing the length of the tour paddle board, think about it in advance, where do you want to skate? Surfing in the ocean, or racing in a calm lake requires a very different board.
Eia pū pū kekahi, consider the size of your car and how easy it is to store and transport. And also consider the distance you need to take the touring paddle board to the water’s edge. Usually in windy areas, it’s difficult to transport long boards over long distances. In this case, an inflatable board is more suitable, which can be transported to the water’s edge and then inflated.
