Surfboard & Paddleboards: FAQ

How do I ensure the paddleboard size is right for my weight?

Always check the volume (L) and maximum weight capacity listed in the product description. For beginners, a board with a higher volume and a width of at least 32 inches (81 cm) provides the necessary stability.

What is the difference between single-layer and double-layer PVC?

Double-layer or 'fusion' PVC boards are significantly more rigid and durable than single-layer options. Look for 'MSL' or 'Fusion Tech' in the specifications to ensure your board won't flex under pressure.

How can I verify the quality of an inflatable board's seams?

Check for 'heat-welded' seams rather than glued seams in the technical specs. Welded seams are less likely to leak over time and handle high PSI levels (15-18 PSI) much better than standard adhesives.

Will a large surfboard arrive safely through international shipping?

Most reputable sellers use multi-layer corrugated boxes and internal protective foam. To be safe, choose sellers that offer 'AliExpress Selection Standard' shipping for better handling and tracking of bulky items.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Construction Material
Prioritize boards using 'Drop-Stitch' technology. This internal structure of thousands of polyester threads allows the board to maintain a flat, hard surface when inflated to high pressures.
✓
Fin System Compatibility
Look for boards with a 'US Box' or 'Slide-in' fin system. These standards allow you to easily replace or upgrade your fins with universal parts if they are lost or damaged.
✓
Rocking and Shape
All-around boards have a rounded nose for stability, while touring boards have a pointed nose for speed. Ensure the 'rocker' (the upward curve of the nose) is sufficient to prevent diving into small waves.
✓
Accessory Bundle Quality
Check if the included paddle is aluminum or fiberglass; fiberglass is lighter and more efficient. Ensure the pump is 'Double Action' to cut your inflation time in half.
