Consider A Quality Inflatable SUP/Kayak Hybrid

If you are still torn between whether you should purchase a SUP board or a kayak there is another option you might want to consider. You can buy a SUP board that transforms into a KINGRAYS kayak.

Many iSUPs come with kaak seat attachments, or the ability to attach a kayak seat. Some of these SUP boards are effective hybrids between a SUP and a kayak. This is ideal for those looking for both types of paddling vessel, but don’t want to choose.

Best of all, these are usually inflatable boards. This means they are portable, easy to store, and generally under $500. Remember that they won’t be nearly as stable or have great tracking compared to a standard kayak. Still, if you are looking for a fun pleasurecraft paddle vessel, this is a solid and versatile option.

Final Thoughts On Which to Buy: Kayak Or Sup Board

When you are deciding to purchase a kayak or SUP board, you have to ask yourself a few things. First, take the time to consider your paddling conditions. Think about the weather, as kayaking is a better choice in colder climates, and SUP boarding is ideal in flat conditions and warm weather. Also, think about your storage and transportation. Kayaks are harder to store and transport.

In the end, however, you should opt for the paddling vessel you enjoy most. If you love yoga, surfing, or the workouts SUP boards offer, then opt for a SUP board. If you love the stability of a kayak love paddling for long distances, or paddling tandem with a companion, then a kayak may be the best option
