An XL paddle board is exactly what you think it is, it is just like a normal stand-up paddle board (SUP), however just a little bit larger... how much larger exactly? Almost five times the size of a normal paddle board, measuring at an impressive 17 feet (length) by 60 inches (width)! This paddle board provides you the best of both worlds; it provides you with extreme amounts of balance and support, easily being able to cut through waves and swells that may lay ahead. Equally, rather than being on your own, drifting away helplessly, here you can be surrounded by friends and family, paddling together and experiencing everything together!
In short, an XL paddle board is a unique and beautiful piece of equipment that is resilient, stable and thus allows friends and family to enjoy an activity unlike every before.

We highly recommend doing the paddle board rental in swimwear and/or clothes that you don’t mind getting wet as paddle boardingis a water-based activity. Appropriate footwear (not flip-flop, not slippers, closed beach shoes) is also important, not only for your safety, but also for your personal comfort when disembarking on small, beautiful pebbly beaches. One or two towels are also advisable.
Drinking water is essential as to avoid dehydration throughout the tour, and a few snacks (sandwiches, fruits, chocolate bars, nuts, sweets) to help with energy.
An XL paddle board refers to an extra-large paddle board that offers more stability, buoyancy, and space compared to standard-sized paddle boards. These boards are designed to accommodate multiple riders or provide a spacious platform for activities like yoga, fitness, or leisure paddling.
The capacity of an XL paddle board can vary depending on the specific model and design. Generally, XL paddle boards can accommodate 6 to 10 riders comfortably. It is perfect for families, groups of friends - everyone!
XL paddle boards are typically more stable and offer better balance due to their larger size. This makes them suitable for beginners who may require additional stability when starting out. However, it's still advisable for beginners to receive proper instruction and practice paddle boarding techniques before venturing out on an XL paddle board.
While XL paddle boards are primarily designed for recreational paddling, fitness activities, or group outings, they may not be ideal for traditional surfing in large waves. Their larger size and increased buoyancy make them more suitable for flatwater paddling, calm coastal areas, or exploring lakes and rivers.
To enhance your XL paddle board experience, consider using accessories such as adjustable paddles, comfortable and secure leashes, life jackets or personal flotation devices (PFDs), and waterproof bags or dry cases to protect your belongings. Additionally, you may want to invest in traction pads, bungee cords, or storage compartments for convenience and storage during your paddling adventures.
