A guide to choosing the best stand-up paddleboard (SUP) for your lifestyle

• Shape of the board
• Volume and capacity
• Length, width and thickness.
• And also where you will be riding it i.e flat water or waves.

 
All ECS SUPs have an EPS foam core that’s wrapped with fiberglass and epoxy to create a lightweight, durable and affordable construction. The difference between the models comes in the different types of performance you want to get out of the board.

To break it down here is a master list of each ECS SUP so you can decide which is the best one for you:

EVO

The classic All rounder SUP. Great for flat water paddling or calm days in the ocean. A long SUP with short board styling to allow for ability to surf too. A flat deck and medium rails allows for performance in all conditions.

The EVO is made with sustainable paulownia wood top and bottom with a light high density EPS foam in the centre. Also features reinforced wood/glass standing area for additional strength.

Wideboy

The wideboy is the most stable board in the SUP range. A shorter board with extra volume and stability allows for a great performance surf SUP. Medium performance rails of this board still permit easy maneuvering in surf conditions and a wide flat deck with single into double concave bottom creates speed through turns.

For wave riding we would recommend the smaller lengths however the wideboy in can work great as a flat water paddler too in the 9’5 and 10’ length. 

Inception 2022

This is the one size fits all board. A great beginner board which is great for small wave surfing and flat water. This board features full rails, a flat deck and high volume to allow easy paddling for all. Coming from the latin word "inceptio" meaning the beginning or commencement; these boards are geared for new comer's or a “Fun 4 all” type board.

The Inception comes complete as an "on water" package including durable board cover.

Inception Soft Top

An almost identical build to the inception 2022 only this time with a soft foam top to allow for a little bit extra volume as well as being great for kids. Perfect for beginners.
