Simply put, we don’t use glue on the top and bottom materials for our six-inch SOL SUP boards. Instead, we use cutting edge technology by combining high frequency, heat and pressure to bond the top and bottom sheets together to create one solid, cohesive board. Our Phantom No Glue Construction ensures a lighter, longer-lasting, and more environmentally friendly stand up paddle board. 

A properly designed and constructed stringer system provides structural integrity, stiffness and load-transference. So we decided to create not just one, but two collections of innovative boards utilizing a well-engineered stringer system, allowing the transfer of energy from one stringer to another with minimal flex front to back and side to side. 

Our newest collections — GalaXy and Carbon GalaXy — feature our premiere SOLrocker technology, a rocker-to-underfoot-camber-to-rocker profile. To achieve this, we looked to the ski industry and tore a page from their playbook to build an inflatable SUP board that creates a more efficient paddling experience.

You see, a traditional inflatable paddle board is flat until you stand on it. When that happens, the board bends. With our SOLrocker technology, your board starts raised — with a bend — and when you stand on it, your inflatable board flattens, becoming level with the water. As an added bonus, the SOLrocker also allows for smoother, more efficient turns as you raise the edge of your board out of the water ever so slightly.

It wasn't hard for us to decide to extend our three-year warranty to five years on all of our SUP boards. We did this so you would feel confident in your purchase decision and because we would never put any product to market without ensuring it is of the utmost quality. We also offer a lifetime warranty on the male outer valve.

We constructed our newly launched Carbon GalaXy Collection with carbon outer sidewalls that are three-times more durable and rigid than traditional PVC sidewalls giving it that no-flex-rock-hard feeling — all without compromising the portability factor. As for our Classic and GalaXy Collections, we double up on our sidewall material making them Grade-A in durability.

Since preventing rips when attaching gear to any board is a priority, for each D-Ring we use the strongest material on the market — heavy-duty nylon webbing. Also, we designed our boards so you have access to handles in the front, middle and back for safety and ease.

Our Unbreakable Removable Center Flex Fins are compatible with any U.S. fin box and comes equipped with a Fast Fin Release System, which holds the fin in place with just a 90-degree twist of the system. The unbreakable center fin's flexible nature maintains its true form allowing you to paddle a straight line while withstanding contact from rocks and the seafloor.

We are happy to partner with DockLocks© to keep your SUP board locked so you don't have to think twice about the security of your paddle board. A locking cleat comes standard with any SOL Paddle Board and easily attaches to a DocksLocks Complete DXLX® Surfboard and Paddle Board Locking System (sold separately).
