    Paddleboards at Southampton Boat Show 2022


    Hi everyone,

    We just wanted to give everyone the heads up that we won’t be at the Southampton Boat Show this year. It’s totally accidental to be honest! The Boat Show sales team didn’t call to rebook and we’ve been so busy here at SUP Inflatables HQ that we all just assumed someone else had done it!

    For anyone that’s ever been to the Boat Show you will know that for the guys that are on the stands its a long 10 days. We all love it but OMG we are shattered afterwards! So, as much as we are going to be very sad not to see everyone there, we are also a little excited to be out paddling at the end of the summer and not to be shattered for 2 weeks making our old bones play catchup!

    But don't worry, we will match any like-for-like deal that's on at the Boat Show, so Get In Touch to order your new paddleboard!*

  4. Gladiator 10'6 Pro 2020 Paddle Board Review by SUP International

    SUP International Paddle Board Review Header

    Gladiator Elite 10'6 Paddle Board

    GLADIATOR SUP PRO 10’6 TEST REVIEW.

    Verdict
    The Pro model is the mid-range inflatable paddleboard from Gladiator. It sits above the Light and below the Elite models boasting a more rigid and durable build than the former. The all-round shape makes this the perfect board for family use on the sea, lakes and canals. Its 3-piece paddle can be used by small children by omitting one of the shaft pieces. The flexible nylon paddle blade and fin ensure that they will not get chipped, increasing the accessories durability. The board itself is very rigid even under heavier riders because of the new double skin ‘Strongedge’. It’s sweet to paddle, tracks well and turns easily. 

    Overview
    The package comes complete with a carbon 3-piece paddle with nylon blade, US fin, leash, pump, repair kit and wheeled luggage case to carry it all in. There are carry handles on the top and sides of the carry case as well as shoulder straps to carry it all as

  6. Anomy 10'6 Paddle Board Review by SUP International.

    Anomy Paddle Board Review

    ANOMY 10’6 TEST REVIEW.

    VERDICT
    Anomy SUP is a premium paddle board brand from Barcelona with an original approach to design. A great amount of attention has gone into the design and construction of this board. It’s apparent that every detail has been carefully considered as you unfurl the board from the generously sized rucksack (complete with ‘all terrain’ wheels and zip fobs for numb fingers) to reveal the quirky Jarom Vogel graphics (a diverse range of artists have contributed to the graphics across the Anomy range). Overall this the Anomy 10’6 forms a slick package that is a pleasure to unbox, set up and of course paddle.

    OVERVIEW
    To start with the rucksack (made from cycled plastic bottles) puts you in a good mood as it’s clearly big enough to replace the board into without advanced origami skills. Inside, your glass fibre / nylon paddle, pump, board and FCSII fin and leash are waiting. On the board’s deck you’ve got cen

    Gladiator Lite 10'6 Paddle Board

    GLADIATOR SUP LITE 10’6 TEST REVIEW.

    VERDICT
    The Gladiator Lite paddle board with its stringer construction is the baby brother of the Gladiator Elite. You can inflate the Gladiator Lite to 20 psi to get the maximum rigidity out of it for heavier riders. This board is aimed at those looking to get started on a budget and comes in at £399 for everything in the package, including the double action pump, alloy paddle, coil-leash and over-sized rucksack bag all shipped for free, to your door.

    OVERVIEW
    Gladiator Paddle Boards come from a long established European rib manufacturer; they’ve been supplying Gladiator boards to Eastern Europe for seven years and entered the UK two years ago.

    What To Wear Paddle Boarding in 2019

    FINALLY! Paddle Boarding kit that truly works for the job... 

    Its really been a journey for all involved as watersports, until paddle boarding, was all about been IN the water rather than ON IT! This pretty much meant wetsuits for cold weather  or boardies for warmer weather. The great thing about paddle boarding, is once you have got going on a good quality board you are rarely in t

    Gladiator Elite 10'6 Paddle Board

    GLADIATOR SUP ELITE 10’6 TEST REVIEW.

    Verdict
    The Gladiator Paddle Board Elite announces itself in two ways, package and looks, and both demand attention when you factor in the sub £500 retail price.
