Whatever floats your boat Imagine Paddle Boards

Remember how Mom always nagged "Don't stand up in the boat!!"? Well, times sure have changed! These stand up paddleboards are a cross between sit-on-top kayaks and surfboards and are usually paddled standing upright with a long handled, single blade canoe paddle. Made of durable rotomolded poly, they have convenient carry handles, a central storage hatch, deck bungees and a molded in fin.
