At Beyond Marina, we’re passionate about crafting paddle boards that elevate your water adventures. Two standout features make our sup boards exceptional: the innovative drop stitch material and the non-slip EVA surface. Let’s dive into what makes these elements so special and why they’re perfect for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike.
What is Drop Stitch Material?
The core of every Beyond Marina inflatable paddle board is built with drop stitch technology, a high-quality construction method that delivers unmatched strength and rigidity. Its unique structure features two layers of fabric connected by thousands of tiny threads, allowing it to withstand high pressure—typically up to 20 PSI—when inflated. This creates a rigid, flat surface that rivals solid alternatives, all while remaining portable and easy to store. This versatile material shines in a wide range of applications, including inflatable stand-up paddle boards (SUPs), kayaks, and boats, delivering the strength and stability needed for water sports. Beyond the water, drop stitch is used in gymnastics mats, yoga platforms, inflatable tents, and even rescue cushions—products that demand durability without the bulk.
Why It Matters:
- Stability: The rigid structure ensures excellent balance, making it ideal for all skill levels.
- Durability: Resistant to punctures and wear, it’s designed to withstand years of adventures.
- Portability: Despite its strength, it’s ultra-light and deflates for easy storage.
The Power of the Non-Slip EVA Surface
Safety and comfort are non-negotiable on the water, which is why Beyond Marina stand up paddle boards feature a 5mm-thick EVA deck. EVA is a soft, flexible material commonly found in yoga mats and shoe soles, prized for its grippy texture. On our boards, it provides a non-slip surface that shines even when wet.
Why It’s a Game-Changer:
- Traction: Say goodbye to slips—EVA keeps your feet firmly planted, boosting safety in wet conditions.
- Comfort: The cushioned surface feels great underfoot, perfect for long paddling sessions.
- Versatility: From yoga on the water to casual cruising, it adapts to your every move.
