Advanced Elements has spearheaded the evolution of inflatable SUP boards. These inflatable stand up paddleboards have distinctive features and uses. But also feature the portability and durability of the inflatable kayaks that are so popular. You will not be disappointed with the Advanced Elements inflatable SUP boards line. All of their SUP boards deflate and fold in to a duffle bag ranging in size from a small carry on to a large suitcase. They also include a single-action pump with gauge, repair kit, 3 removable tracking fins and a valve adapter.
The ability to pack your stand up paddle board in your car is amazing but to be able to unfold, inflate and hit the water in minutes is mind blowing. A great line of SUP boards for families is the Hula 11 and Hula 8 from Advanced Elements. They are made of high-pressure drop-stitch material and a double layer of heavy duty PVC tarpaulin that provides ultra stiff performance and the best durability. Both boards have a large foam traction pad; with the Hula 11 also featuring D-Rings for gear tie down, optional kayak seat attachment or leash attachment.
