Definitie
The afarer SUP Explorer 11 is an 11' (335 cm) all-around inflatable stand-up paddle board with triple-layer military-grade PVC and drop-stitch core. Rated for up to 100 kg rider weight.
Probleem
You want the portability of an inflatable but need the performance of a rigid paddle board. You need a board that handles flatwater paddling, touring, and beginner surf.
Hoe het werkt
The triple-layer military-grade PVC with high-density drop-stitch creates a rigid platform that inflates to 18 PSI. The planing hull offers all-around performance. The 33" width provides excellent stability for beginners while still offering performance for intermediate paddlers.
Oplossing
Inflate to 15-18 PSI, attach the center fin, and you have a versatile SUP. The stable platform works for recreational paddling, yoga, fitness, and beginner surf. The backpack makes transport and storage easy.

Veelgestelde vragen

100 kg for optimal performance. Total load capacity is approximately 120 kg.
