A float for each foot improves stability and body mechanics for the stand-up paddleboard user.
That’s the theory behind the new SplitSUP by Colorado-based Shabomee. The design has two connected floats instead of a single board under foot.
Multi-hulled SUP boards aren’t entirely new, but the SplitSUP has some interesting new design elements.
The SplitSUP has two independent hulls attached on the inside rail at the top and bottom. Because of the dual-connections, the two floats cannot fold away or onto themselves, yet do have a little freedom to move up and down and forward and aft.
The company claims the unique design employs natural body mechanics and allows each leg to move independently, resulting in increased mobility, stability and balance as well as more efficiency in cutting through wind, waves and whitewater.
