Product Information

D-rings are the ultimate must-have for any paddle boarder who wants to level up their SUP with add-on accessories. They allow you to safely and securely attach equipment. In contrast to how inflatable SUP seats handle water, foam soaks the water up. It retains the water for a while before finally drying off. Foam seats are indeed more comfortable than inflatable seats. They are also more sturdy and provide little room for error in terms of falling off. The Bluefin Cruise kayak seat is soft, comfortable, and not hard to attach to the paddle board. It is really supportive and quite easy to attach to the board. The great thing is that this kayak seat cushion is supplied for free when purchasing a board like the Bluefin Cruise, Bluefin Cruise Carbon, or a Bluefin Cruise Junior Board.

There are three main SUP paddling positions - standing, kneeling or sitting. When in a seated position and paddling, you can either sit with your legs criss crossed or sit on your knees. Sitting with your legs criss crossed provides the lowest centre of gravity, making it easiest to maintain balance, however it doesn’t offer the best position for paddling. Sitting on your knees raises your centre of gravity slightly, however provides you with much more leverage. Many beginners start in a kneeling position before transitioning to standing as they develop their paddle board technique. Alternatively, if you’re just chilling out on your SUP, there’s nothing better than sitting and dangling your feet in the water on a hot, sunny day. The Yakgrips uses a neoprene outer shell with rubber lining, making it easier on the hands and grip during paddling. It measures 16 inches, which should be enough for wider grips as well (paddle boarding you should not have hands far apart!). Probably the most significant difference from foam’s standpoint is that they’re more widely available in comparison to inflatable seats. Very few brands actually make or offer an inflatable seat. Therefore foam is still the predominant choice material for SUP seats. How to Install a Paddle Boarding Seat Gili is not a new name in the paddle boarding game.
