Having shot up in popularity a few years ago, stand up paddle boarding is continuing its reign as the hot watersport of the summer. Easy to pick up and not super hard work (although it can be, if you want that), it's easy to see the appeal. Today's best inflatable paddle boards pack down small(ish) for storage, and can be transported in the boot of the most compact car.
It has become tradition that the best Prime Day deals include some excellent cheap paddle board bargains, and this year is no different. Three big brands have dropped their prices across a number of different boards: Bluefin, Leader Accessories and Goosehill. If you just want to have a splash about in the summer, our pick is the Leader Accessories kit, which is a downright bargain at £169.99. If you want a kit with some more versatility, the Bluefin SUP has a kayak conversion kit included, and is 20% off for Prime subscribers.
There are more options too – read on for more info. They all fall into the low- to mid-range camp, so if you're thinking of cultivating a more long-term hobby, you'll find plenty of recommendations at a range of price points in our best paddle board for beginners ranking.
If you fancy gliding peacefully through the local waterways or along coastlines, checking out the scenery from that nice high vantage point, SUPing could well be the sport for you (I, for one, am a big fan). You do need to be a Prime member to claim – but if you want, you can use your free trial.
