How do you go about finding the right SUP just for you? What are the qualities to look for and what should you avoid? There is so much information out there and the best thing you can do is arm yourself with some knowledge so at the very least, you know what questions to ask. We've listed three basic questions you should have the answers to before buying a SUP.

Choosing the right paddleboard can be a daunting task. But fear not! We've got your back. There are just two questions to ask yourself to help you discover what kind of stand-up paddleboard fits your lifestyle best. Read on to find out.

It's Official, our Salt Lake City warehouse is now open and waiting for our first shipment of Honu boards, paddles, and accessories.

No discussion on paddle boards is complete without first addressing the big question... Hard-board OR inflatable? 

If performance is your most important consideration, then a hardboard is for you... Or at least that is what you'll often be told. But while this is correct in most instances, it isn't absolutely right. Even when you put aside all the distinct storage and transport advantages, inflatable SUP's perform better in some cases... 

The Bondi Hybrid Surf Break model from Honu is a quality iSUP at a competitive price. It’s very lightweight and surfs well for a board of its size. Flat water paddlers looking to get into the waves will transition effortlessly to this stable and forgiving board thanks to the generous width and performance surf elements built into the design.

The difference in performance, durability, and ultimately paddle boarding fun is most varied in the inflatable board segment. The difference in price from low-end department store boards to the more reputable brands is large. And so too is the difference in quality. But the reality is that for the most part, the differences can't be easily seen.

While the team was busy re-designing the current range top to bottom, we were also quietly looking into various USA based options.
