Stand Up Paddle Board Styles and Shapes

In this video I talk about Stand Up Paddle Board styles and shapes. I discuss the difference between a planning board, recognizable by the rounded nose, and a displacement or touring board, aka pointy boards.

I also discuss considerations when you are choosing which board is right for you

I talk about,

- board shape

- board volume

- style of fins and why sometimes there are multiple 

- how wind affects the different styles of boards

- and the general pluses and minuses of each type

Hope to see you on the water soon!
