The universal SUP seat from Havspaddeln is the first of its kind to fit all SUP boards, regardless of model year or brand. With this SUP seat you can give your SUP board a new lease of life instead of leaving it unused.
- Why do I need a SUP seat?
SUP is a very popular activity, especially as SUP boards – above all the inflatable models – are both handy and practical. Stand-up paddling is good exercise, but in many homes the SUP board soon ends up on the shelf or is rarely used, as it can be both difficult and tiring.
By combining standing paddling with the option to sit down, you get more uses out of your SUP, so you will use it more often. Paddling seated is also less strenuous and more efficient, letting you cover longer distances with less effort.
- What makes this SUP seat special?
This SUP seat is inflatable, which means you sit a little above the board and get a much better, more ergonomic paddle stroke. It gives you a better paddle angle and makes it easier to reach the water with every stroke.
If you sit directly on the board instead, it is often harder to reach the water, so you have to stretch more. This leads to more tiring and less efficient strokes.
The SUP seat also has storage behind the backrest. As SUP boards lack built-in storage (apart from the deck lines), this extra storage space is very useful. The seat has a large compartment and two cup holders.
- What makes the SUP seat universal?
Many SUP boards have mounts for fitting a seat, but many models lack them and therefore cannot use traditional seats.
To solve this, we developed this SUP seat, which can be fitted to any SUP board. A simple strap system secures the seat around the SUP board, so it fits regardless of model year or brand.
- Which paddle do I need when seated?
When seated, you paddle best with a paddle that has blades at both ends. With our hybrid blade you turn your SUP paddle into a kayak paddle in seconds. If you don't have a paddle, there is the hybrid paddle, which includes both a SUP paddle and a hybrid blade at a package price.
