Whitewater paddleboarding is one of the most fun summer activities there is, but doing it safely does require a few extra pieces of equipment.
If you're shopping for someone new to the sport, they're going to need a PFD, a paddle, and everything else that goes with river SUPing. There are a lot of options, but don't worry - CKS Online has brought our top gear picks for inflatable stand up paddleboarders this holiday season.

We love this pump because it has two speeds and doesn't get as hot as other pumps can. The digital pressure gauge makes inflation simple and speedy.

Same size as the fan favorite Watershed Ocoee, with more low-profile lashing points for improved rigging. This is super useful for people who SUP. This bag can also double as a side-hike daypack, with easy to adjust waist straps.

Falls happen. Protect those knees because we each only get 2, and they're too important! Knee-shin guars are useful during both high- and low-water season.

Leash vs. no leash is a huge debate. Leashes will keep your board closer to paddlers during a swim. The best thing about this leash is that it doubles as an ankle leash for when you'd like to borrow your friends SUP and head out to the lake. Please remember: No ankle leashes on moving water, ever.
