Now is the perfect time to buy a SUP, with lots of great paddleboard deals out there. We highlight why this is, and what you should consider before you buy, to make sure you get the most for your buck!There’s nothing like a good deal and saving yourself a bit of money. With many SUPs currently being in stock, due to reasons I speak about in this video, there is definitely more boards to choose from at the moment and at a good price too. But when choosing the right board, make sure it not only works for you on the water, but that it will also last as long as possible.Remember it’s not always the case, but generally speaking the more you spend the better board you’ll get.If you’re a SUPboarder Pro subscriber check out the bonus video below where I name our top iSUP and composite board brands this year.Additional PRO feature here:https://supboardermag.com/2025/02/05/we-chat-about-our-top-current-sup-brands-isup-composite/(requires paid subscription)
