Enhance Your Experience with These Stand Up Paddle Accessories

SUPing is joyous enough as it is, but there are some products on the market that can make your experience even better. From safety equipment to LED light systems, Ride The Tide stock a range of quality stand up paddle accessories. For those looking to further their SUP obsession, we have detailed some of our favourites below.

Spring for a Centre Fin

Centre fins play an important role in the maneuverability, tracking and stability of your paddleboard. Here at Ride the Tide, we offer a host of options for all different riders.

We sell single Centre Fins, FCS Side Fins, Nalu 3 Piece Fin Sets and Replacement Inflatable Fins, and can advise you on the best fin placement to suit your individual needs.

Share the Fun with Adjustable Paddles

It is oh-so-common to see beginner boarders struggling away with paddles that are too long for them. Apart from the fact that you risk shoulder injury by repeatedly paddling with an instrument that doesn’t suit you, you will also end up with an inefficient stroke and a lot of wasted energy. We stock Adjustable Black Carbon Paddles and Three-Piece Carbon Paddles, as well as a wide range of different coloured Carbon fixed paddles for those who know what size they need.

A wide grip on your paddle is necessary for power and balance, but don’t be afraid to experiment a bit to work out what is best for you. Remember to reach as far forward as comfortably possible when paddling, and don’t drag the paddle too far past your feet before pulling it out of the water. Get yourself into a rhythm where the blade of the paddle is fully submerged every time you put it in the water.

Protect Your Asset - SUP Leashes and Rail Tape

Leashes are one of the most important stand up paddle accessories, preventing you from losing your board in tricky conditions out on the open water. Our Dual Swivel SUP Leash has a 10 foot coil length, is suitable for flat water or surf conditions and can be worn on the ankle or calf depending on your preference.

When it comes to protecting your board, we have already told you about the a href="https://ridethetide.com.au/blog/how-to-apply-rail-tape-for-sup-boards-/">important of rail tape. Our SUP Board Rail Tape and Paddle Edge Guard Tape will protect your rails and paddles from abrasions and general wear and tear.

Summer is only a few short weeks away, and night-time SUPing can be a magical experience.

We stock two outstanding products from NOCQUA Sport for those looking for a safe and memorable nighttime adventure. The Compact White LED Light System is a versatile and adjustable LED system providing continuous or strobe lighting, while the Spectrum Pro Series - Colour LED Light System offers seven colours and three modes for a mesmerising event.
