Standup paddle-boarding, while a fun water-sport is popular among people who consider fishing as a hobby. In fact, SUP fishing has quickly become of the more exciting ways to have some fun on your stand-up board, while participating in the relaxing activity.

As summer is fast approaching, the team at Inflatablepaddleboards.com, the makers of best quality and affordable inflatable paddleboards in Florida thought of providing an informative guide to paddle-boarding enthusiasts about what gear to invest in when going out stand-up paddleboard fishing.  

The Right Platform

Manufacturers of standup paddleboards also offer boards that are solely meant for fishing. When it comes to SUP fishing, paddleboard selection is the most important decision an angler makes. The right size, shape, and stability (the most important) should be considered when choosing or buying a standup paddleboard for fishing.

The extra heavy duty Pro Angler inflatable fishing paddleboard FSUP330 by InflatablePaddleBoards.com is the most fishing friendly paddleboard available in the market, with a maximum gear holding capacity of 220 lbs and numerous other features.

Polarized Sunglasses

Increased visibility (when standing) is one of the best advantages that SUP fishing offers paddlers. This advantage can be increased or ‘enhanced’ even more with help from a quality pair of polarized sunglasses!  These glasses are usually worn by paddlers as they filter out glare on the water (from the sun) and allow paddlers to see more clearly into the water.

Personal Flotation Device

Even the most experienced paddlers might need to be equipped with a personal flotation device or PFD depending on how far or deep a person plans to go. You never know when a strong wave might catch you unawares which is why keeping one on board is a good idea.

SPF, Hat and Buff

Long hours on the water and direct exposure to the sun can be expected when SUP fishing. This is why paddlers must know how to protect themselves by wearing a hat on their head and applying a high SPF lotion on their skin. Buffs can be used to protect the face and neck from the sun and also help paddlers stay cool.
