How to

- A leash increases safety on lakes, calm waters, in windy or cold conditions, in winter and in waves, when losing your board would be risky.
- In rivers with a current, white water, near weirs or where there are many obstacles, a foot leash can be life-threatening.
- A hip leash with a quick-release is safer in currents, whilst foot leashes and coil leashes are particularly suitable for lakes, touring and SUP surfing.

- Almost any all-round or touring SUP (9-12 feet) is suitable for learning to wingsurf with a wing in light winds.
- A centre fin is required for less lateral drift, WindSUPs have this, other boards can be retrofitted.
- Various retrofit systems with a tensioning strap or adhesive fin box are available and are also used in wingsurfing schools.

- In hot weather, inflated SUPs and wing boards must not be left in the car or laid flat in direct sunlight, as this may cause them to burst or warp.  
- UV radiation and high temperatures cause plastics, pads and decorative elements to fade and cause permanent damage to the material, so store them in the shade wherever possible.  
- On hot days, the air pressure in the board can be reduced; with high-quality SUPs, less than the maximum pressure is often sufficient, as the pressure rises anyway when the board is in the sun.

iSUPs and inflatable wing boards: What should you do with your inflatable SUP in the sun?

- Inflatable SUPs are light, cheap, easy to transport, suitable for families, versatile, but somewhat less powerful and less durable.
- Hardboards are faster, more durable, more stable and ideal for waves and sporty touring, but are more expensive, heavier and require more storage and transport.
- For families and all-round use, iSUPs are more suitable; for sporty touring on the lake/sea, hardboards offer more efficiency but require more logistics.
