Can you recommend a paddleboard that goes straight when you paddle on just one side, and is also suitable for a beginner windsurfer?
All boards are going to turn a little bit when paddling on only one side. You could pick up a Touring/Race SUP, which has a canoe like bow which will help it run straighter, faster and smother through choppy water. If you looking for a board for both windsurfing and SUPin check out the BIC Jungles Wind/SUP. These Boards both have a mast track for a sail and will work for both windsurfing and paddleboarding. The bigger 10’10” Bic Jungle also has Saber style daggerboard makes it easier for directional stability and upwind sailing.
Here are few tips to help you paddle straighter:
1.Make sure the fin is set as far back as the fin box will keep the board moving in a strait line longer.
2.Try and keep you Paddle close to the board and the shaft is as vertical as possible.
3. Practice!!!
I am considering buying a 12′ 6″ wailer sailboard to use for paddleboarding. is this a good idea?
Karie
how wide and thick is it? I would test it out first if you can.
can I use a wailer wind sail as a paddleboard? It is 12’6″ long and over 50 lbs.
Of course, give it a try. How wide is the board? In some cases windsurfer will work just fine. Today they are even making Windsurfer hybrids Stand UP Paddleboard which are perfect for people who want to dabble in both sports. Such as the Bic jungle and a the Starboard SUper Windsufer.
