Paddle Boarding Gear

It’s a great sport, but paddle boarding requires some specific equipment to make it a safe and fun experience. This includes the right equipment to suit the weather conditions, location and your personal preferences, as well as accessories that can take your trip to the next level.

Boards – A must-have accessory for any Onyx Motion Paddle Sports, a board offers stability, control and maneuverability. It’s also a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of activities, including surf, SUP yoga and whitewater.

Hull – The shape of your board’s hull determines how it handles in the water. A planing hull looks like a surfboard with a rounded nose, while a displacement hull has a pointed nose that cuts through the waves for greater speed.

Dry Bag – A dry bag keeps your clothing and gear dry when you’re on the water. It can also hold your food, drinks and other essentials.

Water Bottle – A vacuum-insulated water bottle clips to the cargo bungees on your board and keeps your drink cool. It’s also a convenient way to transport water if you’re out for longer periods of time.

Hat – A wide-brimmed hat offers sun protection and can help you stay on your board in windy conditions. These are available in a range of styles and colors to complement any outfit.

Shoes – A pair of waterproof, lightweight shoes is another must-have item. These can help you traverse rocky terrain, protect your feet from harsh sun and add traction for your board.
