Discover the Starboard iGo Paddle Board: The Perfect Choice for Everyone!

Are you new to paddleboarding or looking for a family-friendly option that accommodates pets? Look no further than the Starboard iGo . This board is designed with both beginners and intermediates in mind, offering a seamless paddling experience without the fuss.

The Starboard iGo boasts a straight outline and a narrow midsection. This thoughtful design allows paddlers to keep the paddle closer to the board, enhancing comfort and stability while you glide across the water.

One of the standout features of the Starboard iGo is its portability. The inflatable board can be packed into a bag that’s 33% smaller, making it easy to transport. The roll bag is equipped with roller wheels and hiking straps, ensuring you can travel conveniently, whether you're heading to the beach or a lake.

The Starboard iGo comes with a free lightweight leash that includes soft cushioning, ensuring comfort while you paddle. This leash flattens when stood on, adding to its convenience. Additionally, the pump has been redesigned to be 10% more efficient, thanks to the new piston and outside tube for the air outlet. This means less time pumping and more time enjoying the water!

During testing, I walked over 500 feet with the board on my back, and I can confidently say it was super comfortable and lightweight. Once on the water, I strapped a cooler onto the board and felt perfectly stable, even with the added weight!

Overall, the Starboard iGo incorporates numerous small enhancements that contribute to a better paddling experience. It’s the ultimate lightweight inflatable board for all your SUP needs, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy paddleboarding.

If you're interested in experiencing the Starboard iGo for yourself, demos are available at our Sandy location and at the Paddle Sports Center in Portland. Don’t miss out on the chance to find your new favorite board!

Paddleboarding has quickly become one of the most popular water activities, and it’s easy to see why. This low-impact sport is not only a fun way to explore lakes, rivers, and oceans, but it also offers numerous health benefits. One of the most significant advantages of paddleboarding is its full-body workout. When you paddle, you engage your core, legs, arms, and back, building muscle strength and endurance. Plus, maintaining balance on the board works those stabilizing muscles, helping to improve overall balance and coordination.

Beyond physical fitness, paddleboarding is a fantastic way to de-stress and boost mental well-being. Gliding across the water with nothing but the sound of your paddle can be incredibly calming. Many paddleboarders find that the activity has a meditative quality, allowing them to disconnect from daily stressors and reconnect with nature. Whether you're exploring a calm lake or navigating gentle ocean waves, paddleboarding can help reduce anxiety and elevate your mood.

Lastly, paddleboarding is highly accessible, making it a perfect choice for all ages and skill levels. Unlike many other water sports, paddleboarding has a gentle learning curve. Beginners can start on their knees to get the hang of balance before progressing to a standing position. Plus, it's a great way to socialize and connect with others; whether you're paddling solo, joining a group outing, or exploring new waterways, paddleboarding provides endless opportunities for adventure and connection. So grab your board and paddle – it’s time to reap the many benefits of this versatile and enjoyable sport!
