Dreaming of longer journeys and faster paddling? Opt for a touring SUP board. With its elongated shape and pointed nose, this board is designed for speed, gliding effortlessly across the water. Touring SUP boards are sporty models that offer better directional stability and more efficient paddling compared to the all-round type.
What Is a Touring SUP Board?
Touring boards are characterised by a considerable length range (350-400 cm). The longer the board, the more stable it is, though it becomes less manoeuvrable. This length also translates to performance—a longer SUP allows for truly fast paddling. These boards boast higher buoyancy, often accommodating substantial gear (some models feature two cargo areas). While touring boards are more demanding than all-round models, beginners can still enjoy them. However, manoeuvring a touring board requires more experience, better technique, and body balance skills. They are designed for stable, targeted paddling.
This SUP is undoubtedly for thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts who crave more than just leisurely paddling. It’s ideal for those dreaming of long-distance trips or river descents. The board is engineered to reduce paddling strain, ensuring the traveller doesn’t feel fatigued even during extended excursions.

The Touring Ontario is equipped with a central fin, essential for maintaining a straight line, providing lateral stability, and reducing drag during your ride. This larger central fin ensures excellent stability and minimises resistance. Plus, the fin installation is remarkably simple—just slide and lock it in place; no screws or tools required. You’ll appreciate this convenience when you’re eager to hit the water quickly.
