BLUE PLANET SUP REVIEW CRACK

If you have a specific interest – like racing, SUP surfing, or SUP yoga – you might want a board specifically designed for that activity. I like to SUP both on the sea and on rivers, I like to try yoga sometimes, tricks sometimes, play in waves sometimes, and take the occasional long-distance paddle. If you’re like me, and like to use your board in a variety of ways and settings, this is great. Whether you’re a complete beginner, or an enthusiastic paddleboarder looking for a solid new board, the Aquaplanet PACE is an ideal choice.īecause it’s a great allrounder board, the PACE can suit a range of uses. The Aquaplanet paddle has a really funky design Is the Aquaplanet PACE Right for You? I also love the fact that you can attach a kayak seat (sold separately) using the D-rings, and turn it into a kayak for longer tours.Īlternatively, you could use those D-rings with some bungee cords to create extra storage – perfect if you want to take your board touring. It’s a really sturdy board that handles well in waves, and lends itself nicely to trying out a few tricks. The PACE is a little slimmer than some boards designed for balance, so beginners might find it daunting, but once you find your SUP-legs you’ll find it was worth sacrificing the extra width for the difference it makes to your speed. Great on the bendy bits – and when I needed to zig-zag my way through the stronger currents! I felt like the three-fin setup helped, and the board also turns really well. In terms of balance – the board is PERFECT! Really solid, even on the choppier bits of the river. Not bad considering it’s my first time out on a board this year! Normally I have to work fairly hard going upriver, but I felt like I was moving much quicker than I usually do. It felt very lightweight and manoeuvrable, and I definitely noticed a difference with the speed. Perfect if you’re just getting into the sport, or you like to try a lot of different things!

It’s an allrounder, which means you can use it for a variety of paddle styles. The Aquaplanet PACE is a sturdy board built for speed and balance and aimed at both beginners and intermediate paddleboarders.

So when Aquaplanet offered to send me their PACE to try out, it seemed like the perfect fit.

I’ve even started to get a little bit better at it – I can even crack out a couple of yoga poses on my board when the water’s calm!Įven though I’m not a total newbie anymore, I still wanted a board aimed at beginners, because I’m FAR from feeling like I’ve mastered paddleboarding.

Since getting my first inflatable SUP a few years ago, I’ve developed a real passion for the sport. If you follow me on social media, you’ll know I’m a BIG fan of standup paddleboarding! There’s just no better way to clear your head than to get out on the water for an hour or two. This is a review of the Aquaplanet PACE 10’6″ inflatable stand-up paddleboard, an allround SUP designed for speed and balance…
