We make all of our inflatable paddleboards here at Saltie using the laminated double-layer construction in our manufacturing process. Laminated double-layer construction is the premium technology in the inflatable paddle board manufacturing process. You start with the drop stitch of a single skin board and then a second PVC layer is laminated directly on top of it, this means no more cosmetic wrinkles on your inflatable paddle board whilst keeping the board stiffer but, also lighter than alternatives.

Inflatable paddleboards are often considered less durable than a hard paddleboard. However, Saltie Paddleboards are made using FDL Technology, which offers superior durability compared to other stand-up paddleboards on the market, whilst also being 20-25% lighter. Our SUPs are made to be taken on your Saltie adventures with you and then live to board another day.

Yes, each of our stand-up paddle boards, excluding our Saltie Pro Board comes with 2+1 fins. This means that you have the option of a single fin but also, the option to add the side bites for extra drive and hold. All fins are ultra-durable and detachable, making them easy to pack away for transport to ensure your Saltie adventure can start with no delays.

Yes, each of our Saltie paddleboard kits comes with a double action pump. The double-action pump will ensure you can inflate your stand-up paddle board in half the time a traditional pump would.

Due to the way our inflatable paddleboards are made, they can hold up to 160 kg, far more than most standard SUPs on the market, making them ideal to hold larger paddleboarders or an extra person/ furry friend.

The stability is determined by the shape, width and thickness of the inflatable paddle board. Here at Saltie Sports, we use advanced FDL Technology combined with X-Woven Drop Stitch Construction making our Saltie paddleboards some of the most stable on the market.

Yes, inflatable paddleboards are great for paddleboarding with dogs. Compared to a hard board, the surface has a far better grip for its paws. Our paddleboards can hold up to 160 kg meaning they can comfortably hold you and your dog. To keep your dog safe we recommend using a dog buoyancy aid.
