Paddle boards for fishing

Post by BLML »

Hi All,

I have done some research on paddle boards and from I have gathered Is to look for the thick ones (6”). I am also assuming the heavier the board the more stable?
I ride the Kaku at the demo and it was really nice. More water came over than expected but was not really an issue.
What paddle boards have you all looked at or ridden that are a pleasure to fish from?

Thanks!

I love my Jackson superFishal I think it one of the best out there
I also have an ocean kayak nalu kayak/sup in the 12 ft. Impressed with speed on this one

I also have a 10 ft no limits (achademy brand) sup its more for calmer water


I have been looking at the diablo amigo!

Good luck

Let's go fishin....Coco!

Thanks Zman!
Would you happen to know the trade offs for the lighter fiberglass boards? The dimensions are very similar to the high end fishing boards.
I was considering a lighter cheaper board and adding accessories to.
I suppose I should go rent one somewhere and just see what they are like .
I did ride the hobie paddle board and did find it to be kinda tippy- I asked the guy who owned it and he said it was a lighter board, so my assumption is that the lighter boards are more tippy than the heavier fishing boards?
Thanks again!
Bryan
