Vegan Watersports

What hull type is best for you? 

• Planing: Maneuverable and rides on top of the water—great for leisure paddling, surfing, SUP yoga and whitewater. 
• Displacement: Efficient for longer distances and speed; less maneuverable than planing hulls. 
• Hybrid: Combines aspects of planing and displacement hulls to cut through water easily with more stability.

Solid or inflatable SUP? 

• Inflatable: Budget-friendly, easy to store and travel with; good for paddling whitewater and SUP yoga. 
• Solid: Best performance—fast, smooth and more stable with less effort. Requires plenty of storage and a way to transport it.

Sizing your board 

• Volume, weight capacity and thickness affect stability. Factor in cargo and passengers when figuring weight capacity. 

• Length: Longer boards are generally faster than shorter ones but less maneuverable. 

• Width: Wider boards are more stable than narrow ones, but can be slower and more difficult to paddle.
