What is a WindSUP
WindSUP’s or Wing boards have been around for a while but with the desire to wing and to wing foil, windsups have been coming into their own as a great place to start learning this challenging and fun sport. A windSUP is a paddleboard with a universal windsurf sail attachment in the top and will often have a central fin in the bottom to allow for a dagger which allows for upwind sailing.

Red Paddle Co have had their WindSURF board design since the beginning, this WindSUP board is the only one on the market with a retractable daggerboard and even though it does come out at top budget it is a great option for people that really do want the extra performance of upwind travel.
ALL Fanatic Premium boards come with a WindSUP attachment and are a great option for paddleboarders who think they may want a bit of a play in the wind every now and again but are not interested in anything too technical.
The Classic all-round shape in a WindSUP
Gladiator boards are well known for their Windsup option and with similar dimensions to Red Paddle Co, have offered the budget conscious rider a 20 PSI - 4.7” dropstich.

Shark SUP have been very visible with there WindSUP design innovation, with one USP that is really pulling them apart from the rest - The shark fin box, (which also fits all US fins), has the middle area of the fin box missing, making packing up your board super easy as the fin box bends. On top of this, the ECO credentials of shark windSUP makes this board a great option for the eco aware. For 2022 Shark have also brought a 4.7 thick windsup out.. Offering consumers the windsup 11 for the heavier rider as well as the 4.7 thick 10’6 board for everyone else.
