I'm looking for an inflatable windsup and after doing some research, two boards stand out, RED PADDLE 10'6" RIDE WINDSUP and STARBOARD WINDSUP INFLATABLE 11'2" ZEN.
I surf 95% of the time and used to sup when there was limited surf, so the above mentioned seem like good options to get a sup again. I don't windsurf, but watching guys at a rivermouth recently playing with windsups made me decide to get one.
Anyone got experience with them? Also, a new setup is around 2K - 2,5K, so if anyone out there is selling a good used setup, please lemme know.
Just wondering.. Why inflatable.. and why not the hard board option.?
I've used a few inflatable wind-sup boards and found the 12' Naish crossover very good but I've noticed they only do a 10'6"x 32" version now.. www.naishsurfing.com/product/nalu-crossover-inflatable-106-lt/ .. It might be worth checking out.
DavidJohn, inflatable because it's easy to transport. I have about 12 surfboards and everything on wheels (kids) in my garage, so space is limited:)
If you do not know how to Windsurf yet, may I suggest learning Kitesurfing instead?
It is faster to learn, and the gear takes up no room.
The only drawback is that it is imperative to take lessons, for safety reasons, as a beginner mistakes with a kite can be much more serious than with windsurfing.
Note that I Windsurfed a lot, but never kited, but I saw the experience of others, and so told my daughter to learn kiting. In 3 lessons she was already able to plane and get out in winds she never managed to windsurf in after 30 sessions.
