If you're unsure, visit our showroom in Rijssenhout and get advice from one of our specialists. With all SUP boards in stock, once you make your choice, you can hit the water right away.
Allround SUP board
Allround SUP boards are designed for various water types. They are the most common type of SUP boards. The advantage of an allround SUP board is that it can be used in all paddling conditions. Allround SUP boards are suitable for calm waters but are also ideal for choppy waters like the sea. Beginners often choose an allround SUP, such as the StardUpp Level Blue or the StardUpp Next SUP board. An allround SUP board has a wider design and offers more stability than other types of SUP boards. It is the ideal choice for recreational paddling and beginner paddlers.
Touring SUP board
Touring SUP boards are generally longer and narrower than an allround SUP board. If you want to cover longer distances, you can choose from more than 6 models, such as the StardUpp Vantage SUP Elite Touring, the StardUpp Excellent Elite SUP 10'8 SET, and the StardUpp Skillz Elite SUP 12'6 Touring. We have also introduced a beautiful pink-colored touring board for women for 2023. Following the success of our earlier pink Stardupp Tripp Pink, the StardUpp Sublime Elite SUP in pink will also be a hit among female paddlers this summer. The designed longer shape of our touring SUP boards makes it easier to maintain a straight line. Like the allround SUP boards, touring SUP boards are suitable for various water types but perform best in calm waters. This is because calm water provides optimal contact with the water to glide as efficiently as possible. If you are an experienced paddler or have good balance, a touring SUP board is certainly a good choice for covering greater distances over calm water.
Race SUP board
Race SUP boards are even narrower and longer than touring SUP boards. These SUP boards are fully focused on speed and maintaining course. Race SUP boards are for experienced paddlers who want to maximize their performance and achieve high speeds.
Windsurf SUP board
Windsurf SUP boards combine windsurfing and paddleboarding. These boards have the design of an allround SUP board but with an addition. The windsurf SUP board is equipped with a mast foot insert. With the mast foot insert, it's possible to attach a windsurf sail to your windsurf SUP board, allowing you to windsurf and paddleboard on the same board.
Special SUP boards
Besides all the mentioned types of SUP boards, there are also SUP boards with special purposes. These SUP boards can also be viewed in our showroom. If you're looking for, for example, a Yoga SUP board or an Inflatable Yoga Air platform, let us advise you in our showroom. Wakestore is the SUP specialist of the Netherlands.

What is paddleboarding?
Paddleboarding is a water sport where you stand on a board and propel yourself with a paddle. It's a fantastic way to be active on the water, explore nature, and simultaneously work on your fitness.

The origin of paddleboarding lies in Polynesia, but it only became truly popular in recent decades. In the Netherlands, paddleboarding has become a real hype, thanks in part to the many waterways our country boasts.

How to choose the right SUP board?
Choosing the right SUP board depends on several factors. These include your weight, height, the type of paddleboarding you want to do (allround, touring, fast paddle trips), where you want to paddleboard, for example, on a lake, the sea, or on a river, and of course, your experience level. The choice of the right board also depends on practical considerations, such as the number of people who will use the board, whether you want a kayak seat, and whether you want to paddleboard with your dog. We provide extensive information and explanations on our product pages, in our blog, and of course, in our showroom.
Your paddleboarding experience level
If you are new to paddleboarding, it is advisable to start with an allround SUP board. For experienced users looking for speed or long distances, touring or race SUP boards might be more suitable.
Dimensions and weight capacity
The dimensions of the board affect stability and maneuverability. Make sure you choose a board that suits your body weight and skill level.
