FAQ
Are inflatable boogie boards good for adults or are they most suited for children?
There is no age limit to who can use and have fun with inflatable boogie boards. It all depends on where you will be taking these inflatable boards. Some inflatables are made only for slide pools and lounging around while some can withstand tougher conditions and can actually be used to catch some surf. The Sea Eagle Wave Slider, for example, is perfect for adults because of its reinforced drop stitch construction. It will take a lot of heavy pounding or sharp rocks before this inflatable board will give up. Needless to say, just have fun and take any board you wish to ride!
Are inflatable boogie boards good for towing?
Not all inflatable boogie boards can be used as towables. This is because towables need tougher construction and sturdier grip handles. You can probably pull your mate along while he or she lays on an inflatable boogie board but you can't tie the board to a boat and go faster than you should. To avoid unnecessary injuries, stick to the safe zones on your beach.
What are other activities I can use the inflatable boogie board for?
If you want something other than just floating around in the water, you can take a sturdy inflatable boogie board like the Sea Eagle Wave Slider down river rapids. You can grab on to the durable grip handles for stability and just let the rushing river wash you forward. It's going to be a fun but bumpy ride so you better grab on as tightly as you can!
If you are going to a pool with lots of fun slides, some of the nylon inflatables are perfect for sliding down. They are lightweight and sturdy so you don't have to worry about carrying them up the stairs to the slide.
Will any air pump work on these inflatable boogie boards?
Yes, any air pump should work. Some of these inflatables come with high pressure
piston pumps so you can have your boogie board inflated and ready in just 30 seconds or even less.
Verdict - Which One Should I Get?
To decide on which inflatable boogie board to get, you must first consider where you will be taking it for most of the time. If you just need something to take to the neighborhood pool area and go down some fun slides, the Canvas Surf Rider or the Intex Joy Rider should be perfect for you.
However, if you are looking at doing something more extreme like catching some waves or rushing down river rapids, you should get the Sea Eagle Wave Slider.
You should also check the type of materials used for the inflatable boards. Next, look at how the materials were stitched together. If the activity you wish to pursue demands more durability, make sure that the inflatable boogie board is made of reinforced material.
