Choosing the Right Paddle Board

When selecting a paddle board, stability and intended use are the most important factors. All-round inflatable paddle boards (typically 10'6" in length) are the most popular choice, offering incredible versatility and stability for beginners and families. Touring paddle boards are longer and narrower, designed for better glide and straight-line speed on longer journeys. If you are unsure which board suits your needs, our team at Board-Worx in Whitstable is always happy to help. You can also browse our range of wetsuits to ensure you stay warm on the water.

Essential SUP Accessories

A great paddle boarding experience requires the right gear. We stock high-quality SUP paddles ranging from durable alloy options to lightweight carbon fibre paddles for maximum performance. Safety is paramount, which is why we carry a full selection of buoyancy aids, quick-release waist belts, and coiled ankle leashes. To keep your valuables safe and dry, check out our range of waterproof dry bags and phone cases.

Electric SUP Pumps and Spares

Inflating your paddle board shouldn't be a workout. We offer a variety of electric SUP pumps and rechargeable battery pumps that make inflation effortless, alongside high-quality manual pumps from brands like Duotone and Fanatic. We also stock essential spares including replacement fins, pump hoses, and valve adaptors to keep your current board in top condition. Before heading out for a paddle around Whitstable, always check the local tide times to ensure safe conditions.
