The answer is: far more than you think.


The following are some hidden ways for intermediate players to explore more paddle board fun and make your paddleboard journey no longer monotonous.


Paddle board camping: turn water travel into an overnight adventure

With portable inflatable paddle boards such as Funwater, you can easily carry camping equipment and set off.

SUP fishing: enjoy exclusive fishing time in still water

Intermediate players can try paddle board fishing. Compared with traditional boats, inflatable stand up paddle boards are light and flexible, suitable for entering shallows and wetlands. For paddle board enthusiasts who love fishing, this is the best combination.


However, you need to choose a paddle board model with multiple D rings and elastic rope nets to facilitate the fixing of fishing gear and equipment.
