Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard Now with Fusion Construction, the all-new Alpha One is lighter and stiffer than previous double layer models.
Woven dropstitch fabric is coated with specially formulated adhesive to seal the fabric and create a solid bond to the outer layer of PVC coated fabric. The 12.5cm thick body delivers optimal buoyancy, providing a comfortable ride. Alpha have created the One inflatable stand up paddleboard to be a great all rounder for the paddler looking for a no-nonsense easy to handle SUP. The convenience of compact stowing for ease of transport and storage means that this is the ideal board for the weekend trip to the lake or as your daily go to at the beach.
I moved to live by a lake and stand up paddling looked like a really convenient way to explore inland waterways. This is my first board and it gets regular use weekly and has so far proved to be an excellent introduction to the sport and quite durable if looked after. The fin is a potential weak point (but they are with all boards) I advise you take the fin off whenever the board isn’t in the water and keep it in the shade as it has no relief valve. It takes a fair bit of effort to get it up to 20 psi it’s not a quick exercise so an electric 12v pump would be ideal if you don’t have the convenience of walking to the lake. If you use it on cold water expect to have to take it out and give it a top up for best performance.
It’s ideal use is inland waterways for slow cruising in calm conditions. For beginners it’s very stable. On bigger trips 10 to 15km it can start to feel a little soft after about 3 hours on the water so I would advise a bike valve adapter and to take a small pump with you to top up on longer touring day missions. So far my biggest trip on the board was 16km. I also store my board mostly inflated (about 10psi) and it gets a wash after every use. I can’t comment for the durability of the foam top deck if the board was being constantly deflated and rolled up between uses.
I certainly recommend the set up as a first board and introduction to the sport. If you can pick one up on special even better.
