Why womens paddle boards do not have to be different than any other paddle board
As you might have already seen I have written a full guide on the Best Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board for this year. But it seems there are quite some requests for a specific guide for a Best Womens Paddle Boards.
First of all I want to say that I don’t find it completely necessary to name specific womens paddle boards. I very much believe in equality and that women can use the boards I listed in my general paddle board guide just as well. I do not believe that special girly boards with pink glitters and unicorns are necessary, do you?
The only thing I could think of is possibly the weight of the board and how it could cause problems for women to carry very heavy boards, even though they are inflatable.
Even I have problems carrying some of the heavier weight boards and it is difficult to take them on your bicycle or to carry them to the beach. An example of this is the Bluefin Carbon Cruise board.
This board is extremely high quality, but so hard to carry that it is not recommended for everyone to take for a trip to the water. (Although a paddle board carrier can help quite a bit here)
Still I would like to give some advice for good inflatable Stand Up Paddle boards that are suited for women.
If you are looking for a very specific purpose like a pure SUP Yoga board I would recommend to read my Best SUP Yoga Boards Guide instead of this guide which will focus on All-Around Paddle Boards that are suited for women.

All-Around Womens Paddle Boards include the boards that are suited for multiple purposes, like just relaxing and having fun, but also (smaller) tours, SUP Yoga and sometimes taking a child or pet along on a trip with you.
