Wood Paddle Board | 9'10" Hard SUP
A beginner-friendly flat-water wood paddle board, yet one that won't hold you back as you progress in the sport. Laminated with our sandwich-construction, this board is our lightest and most durable hard SUP yet! Surf friendly in 4-5 foot waves, but also works great for flatwater paddling. At a volume of 216 liters and a width of 32", this 9'10" board has more flotation and better stability than most traditional 11'+ cruisers on the market. It will effortlessly float a 200+ lb paddler, or even an adult paddler and a small child riding on the nose.

Extended Product Information
Light and Stable
In a world of 35+ pound behemoth SUPs that barely fit in a garage, this 25 lb wood paddle board is a featherweight that transports easily and stores more like a surfboard
than a SUP. It achieves this by going a little wider (the primary determinant
of stability), a lot thicker, and counter-intuitively almost a couple feet shorter.
Volume and flotation is added while
weight is reduced by minimizing the overall surface area. It's outline shape is more like a great big short board, rather than a long board,
so it enjoys performance benefits in the surf as well.
This brand new construction that we've recently started producing has produced visually pleasing boards. It started with a 15 kg/m2 foam blank for our foam. We reinforced the handle and fin area with extra PVC to make sure those sensitive areas are as strong as every other part of the board. The foam is hand cut and wrapped in 6 ounce fiberglass that has a .3 mm bamboo veneer. Then on top of that there is 4 more ounces of fiberglass. It is then pressed into a mold to make sure each board is made with the same consistency. After that process the board is hand sanded and polished to produce the most beautiful finish. The very last step is to apply an EVA deck pad. This diamond deck pad is built to provide the ultimate traction for your paddle boarding adventures.
The Tower Classic Wood 9'10" is a perfect meeting of form, function, and good looks. A classic wood paddle board, triple stringer surfboard look with ample rocker, a thin squash tail, and a molded wood finish make for a 60s throw-back Southern Californian look. If you are familiar with our inflatable paddleboards, then this beautiful classic look will make you want to switch over to our classic standup paddle boards.
Unlike many wood paddle boards, where the traction pad is an afterthought, the sharp looking Tower branded traction pad was designed as an accessory to enhance the beauty of the board. A five Futures fin box configuration was added to allow for flexibility in intended use, and an automatic vent is built into the board.
