Quality, not the reasonable pricing, is the most important and compelling aspect of SUP ATX Boards and Paddles. You can quickly become an expert Stand Up Paddle Board buyer by familiarizing yourself with this information...

1) SUP ATX Stand Up Paddle Boards Come Fully Equipped, including a Deck Pad featuring EVA Memory Foam with mylar 3M Adhesive, an integrated Handle, Fiberglass Fin, Leash Plug, and Automatic Air Vent. Accessorizing a board with all of these necessary features would cost hundreds of additional dollars on non-SUP ATX unequipped boards. But all these features come standard on ALL SUP ATX Boards!

- EVA Memory Foam Deck Pad provides for greatest comfort, durability and resistance to harsh elements such as sunlight and salt water.

- Integrated handle makes lifting and moving your board around easy for anyone of any size.

- Leash plug makes it easy to attach the board to your ankle, particularly for use in surfing waves to prevent the board from getting far away from you if you fall.

- Automatic air vent allows the core of the board to breathe without ever having to remove and replace the air vent. It works automatically, all the time. Many other boards come with vent plugs that require removal for them to work, which often results in losing the plug or forgetting to let the board breath which could cause damage to the board, particularly due to changing temperatures.

2) Carbon Fiber Paddles are not created equal. SUP ATX ALL Carbon Fiber Paddles are just that, ALL Carbon Fiber! Paddles from many other makers are made of aluminum and/or fiberglass. Or, they have one part that is Carbon Fiber, and the remaining parts are fiberglass, aluminum or plastic painted black to look like Carbon Fiber. You should only use ALL Carbon Fiber Paddles for these reasons...

- All Carbon Fiber Paddles are lighter.

- All Carbon Fiber Paddles are more durable.

- All Carbon Fiber Paddles have the best overall feel in the water, with just the right mix of strength, action and bend.

- All Carbon Fiber Paddles allow you to travel farther and faster with less effort, greater ease, maximum stamina.

4) This is why SUP ATX never paints its boards, but others do...

SUP ATX NEVER paints its boards. You should never buy a painted board for several reasons...

- Painting a board adds several pounds of unnecessary weight.

- Painted boards are slower in the water.

- Painted boards are harder to lift and move around out of the water.

- Painted boards damage and chip easily.

- Painting boards is a technique typically used to cover poorly crafted boards, covering up weak craftsmanship, covering low quality foam core and poor quality non-United States manufactured epoxy. You never really know what you're getting under a painted board. No company would ever want to paint over a beautifully hand-crafted EPS/Epoxy Stand Up Paddle Board. That's why SUP ATX will never paint its boards. You can see and feel the difference with SUP ATX!

5) SUP ATX only uses U.S. made, highest quality Epoxy and Fiberglass in our boards!

Not all epoxies and fiberglass are created equal! SUP ATX only uses the best quality, most expensive epoxy manufactured in the United States by Resin Research and fiberglass manufactured by Hexcel Corporation of Seguin, Texas. Here are several reasons why you should only buy a Stand Up Paddle Board manufactured with Resin Research epoxy and Hexcel Fiberglass...

- Resin Research epoxy and Hexcel Fiberglass are lighter.

- Resin Research epoxy and Hexcel Fiberglass are stronger and more durable.

- Resin Research epoxy and Hexcel Fiberglass are more weather resistant in cold and heat.

- Resin Research epoxy and Hexcel Fiberglass are clear, non-yellowing, sustaining the beauty of your SUP ATX board for many years.

6) SUP ATX only uses EPS foam!

Not all Stand Up Paddle Board foam core is created equal! SUP ATX only uses 1.65 LB molded EPS foam core in its Stand Up Paddle Boards. Many other board makers use lesser quality, "extruded" foam core, some with using letters like "XPS" to describe it rather than "EPS", to make it seem like they're the same thing. They are not. Here are several reasons why EPS foam is substantially superior to "extruded" and other non-EPS foam cores...

- 1.65 LB molded EPS foam core is lighter in weight.

- 1.65 LB molded EPS foam core lasts longer and performs better in adverse weather conditions, in the heat and the cold.

- 1.65 LB molded EPS foam core is brighter and has a better appearance.

- 1.65 LB molded EPS foam core is highly durable, more resistant to damage and creates better strength in the board.

7) SUP ATX only uses balsa wood for its stringers!

SUP ATX only uses authentic balsa wood for its stringers. The stringer in a Stand Up Board (the strip of wood running down the center of the board from the nose to the tail) is essential in creating board durability, board strength and provides a classic surfboard appearance. You should only buy a Stand Up Paddle Board with a balsa wood stringer for these reasons...

- Balsa wood is light and durable.

- Substitute stringers made of lesser quality materials, such as aluminum and lesser quality woods (and in some cases no stringer at all), lack the unique characteristics of balsa wood stringers in both function and appearance.
