Why is a high-quality SUP important for stability?

When you put too much weight on a poorly made inflatable SUP, it is likely to flex. This is not only inconvenient, but it also makes the SUP wobbly and unstable. The Gili MENO SUP is also six inches thick. Paddle boards that are thinner have less volume and can’t hold as much weight. They also have a tendency to flex. The Meno is extremely stiff and glides effortlessly through the water.
