Anyone into them? Or know where the best place to get a cheap one is? I want one that my dog and I can cruise around the river on. I'm having a hard time finding an inexpensive one..
Thanks
Jeff

Paddle boards are so much fun!

www.SUPatx.com has the cheapest/best quality/brand new boards on the market. But they are still in the 7-800 dollar range.

I would scope around on craigslist or get one of the kayak type hard plastic ones for around 3 hundy.

Costco has some Fiberglass/EPS for around $300.
My GF's family just got one, but i havent tried it yet.

I have a plastic whitewater style imagine traverse. Great for flatwater cruising and whitewater but no good for surfing. It has dry storage too. I've seen the same one at dicks sporting goods under the Coleman name. I also paddle with my girls puppy. This thing has been a great winch accesory. We've used it to get the winch into position, to use as a sliding dock start, and flip it over and rest it on something and you got an 11 ft incline, decline, or flat rail. If surfing isn't a requirement I highly recomend this board.
