SUP Inflatable thickness - does it matter?
The first inflatable paddleboards were all 100mm thick but then it was discovered that if you made them 150mm thick the board becomes much more rigid. So the vast majority of iSUPs are 150mm. But thanks to improved construction techniques and materials, many manufacturers are now moving back to 120 mm thick , and even a few high quality 100mm boards are appearing on the scene again. SUP COACH looks at why this is happening and discusses whether it's a good thing.
