The development trend of paddle board
 
Over the past two years, we have seen a leap in technology in the field of inflatable wakeboards. Examples include Redpaddle's RSS system and RRD's PVC material combined with Kevlar strip technology. It's hard to foresee what new technologies will emerge in the structure and shape of inflatable wakeboards in the next few years. But one thing is for sure, as the brand ramps up its R&D efforts, the performance of the inflatable wakeboards will get better and better. It feels like the development trend of inflatable wakeboards will develop towards hard boards, but still retain the advantages of inflatable wakeboards.

The longevity of the inflatable paddleboard is unknown, as the first inflatable paddleboards are still in use today and perform well. Of course some of them are already soft, but not broken yet. Maybe someday in the future, we'll see some fences made of old inflatable wakeboards. These inflatable wakeboards are old but still usable.
Why is the air pressure on a paddleboard different?
 
This is a frequently asked question. While one board can only be inflated to 12psi, the other board can be inflated to 25psi. It depends on many factors, such as the construction of the board, the thickness and a clear understanding of the maximum inflation value of the board.

Certain board constructions can handle higher pressures. Generally speaking, the recommended pressure value of the thicker side of the board will be larger, and vice versa, the thinner board will be smaller.

The thickness of the board determines, in part, how much inflation to rush in. The same one-meter board, the 10cm board needs to be filled with more gas to show the same hardness as the 15cm board.

Be sure to know the maximum inflation pressure for the board. A good brand should know the inflation pressure limit of its own product, and has tested to determine the critical point of inflation damage of the board. (In general, it is a certain distance from their recommended value.) Be careful with some cheap boards with a recommended pressure value of only 10psi. It is very likely that they have not tested the pressure that the board can withstand. I don't know the capabilities of my board at all.
