SUP Kayak Seats

SUP Kayak Seats

Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) has rapidly shot up in popularity in recent years. The freedom of rocking up at the water, quickly pumping a board up and cruising along in the sun has largely contributed to this success. How accessible it is to anyone wanting to give it a go also makes SUP special. But did you know you can convert you SUP to a kayak? 

Lots of companies now make clip-on seats for their SUP’s that allow you to comfortably sit up on your board. These clip onto the metal D rings on the top of the board, giving you a seat and supportive backrest. By sitting down on your board, you lower your centre of gravity and become more stable. By sitting on the board your legs are also free to get into a position that is most comfortable for you, and takes away the fear of becoming trapped inside a kayak. This can open up the world of paddling to a whole range of people who may face difficulty with standing or getting into a kayak. 

Along with the seat, you can buy a second blade for your SUP paddle, converting it to a kayak paddle. This will save you on having to buy a whole new paddle for when you take a seat and enjoy some kayaking. 

So grab your SUP and kayak seat and have a new adventure. Find your next adventure using our PaddlePoints page, get your Paddle UK membership, and enjoy.
