But if you are buying a board mainly for SUP surfing or racing, certain technical attributes of hardboards make them worthy of consideration.

What is better inflatable or paddle board?When it comes to paddle board performance, hard paddle boards provide optimal performance compared to inflatables. Non inflatable paddle boards are more agile, have better glide and are easier to catch waves when SUP surfing
+
Leaving the board inflatedThe answer is yes you can BUT please store it away from the elements, in a cool area out of direct sunlight and ideally off the ground. All inflatable paddle boards will lose some air pressure over time if the board is left inflated day after day.
+
How safe are inflatable paddle boards?Don’t get us wrong, an iSUP that is full of air and holding pressure, is safe. The issue of safety comes up when an iSUP stops holding air pressure. This is especially the case as iSUPS get older.
+
How long can you leave an inflatable sup inflated?If your inflatable paddle board is stored inside, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature changes, the board can be left inflated indefinitely. Although to preserve the lifespan of your isup it is recommended deflating periodically.

What PSI should my paddle board be?What PSI should my paddle board be?
We recommend riding the board anywhere from 15-18 PSI. The higher PSI will help if you are riding in cold or choppy water. If you need a bit more stability, try increasing the PSI of your board as well. If you leave it under the sun we suggest to do not inflate more than 15PSI
