Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle

Stand Up Paddle is a water sport that consists of paddling on a large, wide board with a paddle. In just a few years, the practice has been democratised and spread to beaches and waters around the world. Indeed, it is one of the easiest water sports to practice, while remaining a physical practice which solicits almost all the muscles of the body. The power of the rowing motion and the balance required on the board work all the muscles. This water sport requires balance and depending on the water surface, a fall can happen quickly. SUP will develop your ability to analyse the waves, wind and currents and adapt your rides to the conditions.

A paddle board adapted to each level facilitates the beginnings and/or allows you to progress and perfect your skills; Stand-Up-Paddle boards exist for all ages and sizes. This water sport allows a great diversity of practices: stroll alone or with the family, sporty stroll, touring, surfing, training, racing… Do not hesitate to use your board for other activities such as fishing or yoga!

On flat water, lake, river or ocean, the Stand-Up-Paddle will offer you the possibility to practice on diversified bodies of water, and to discover many hidden spots. The SUP board is available in inflatable or rigid, while remaining easy to transport, assemble and prepare. An all-round board will be more stable, while a touring board will have a sharper nose and will penetrate the water better. The result is a better glide.

At SROKA Company, our boards range from 9’5 to 14′ in size, so that everyone can find the paddle board that best suits their needs and wishes. Our quality products are for everyone, and to offer you the best sensations, we also offer special boards: SUP-giant, HandiSUP, SUP-Tandem, SUPFoil. We innovate so that everyone can find the board that suits them, all our products are thought out and designed according to precise criteria, with a studied and unique design, while maintaining the best quality-price ratio.

At SROKA Company, the ocean is our playground and it is important to offer the opportunity to practice or learn Stand-Up Paddle at an affordable price. It is with this objective that we design, in our premises in Brittany, ranges with the best compromise between accessibility, stability and glide. Each SROKA board is designed to be as robust and durable as possible. SROKA Company boards are designed to be reinforced where the product could be fragile: the rails. We have reinforced the rails to avoid problems with waterproofing, impact and friction. What is special about our products is that we have placed several layers of a high quality PVC, used for professional RIBs, on the rails to ensure maximum watertightness. This construction, combined with Fusion Technology, guarantees superior finishes, increases the rigidity and performance and durability of our equipment. Fusion Technology also reduces the weight of the board by up to 20%, making it easier to launch and transport.

We are constantly innovating to improve our products, and to offer the best inflatable boards on the market. To guarantee the quality of our products, all of them are tested by Bruno Sroka (3 times kitesurfing world champion, and the first man to have crossed Cape Horn in a kite). He makes it a point of honour to ensure that each of the SROKA Company’s products is top of the range, of impeccable quality and comfort, durable over time and easy to use.

Each paddle is sold with a range of accessories depending on the range. You will find with your SROKA board, a carrying bag, an inflation pump, one or more fins, a leash (Easy range), and a 3 piece paddle (Easy range). In addition, our range of accessories completes all the additional needs that our riders may have. We offer leashes of different sizes and shapes, a wide range of paddles, different types of fins and electric pumps. We also have retractable fins that will allow you to navigate in shallow waters (Exclusive to SROKA in France).

You can find our different ranges of boards on our website. The Waves models are designed for surfers or for the initiation of your children. For family rides, we recommend the Malibu 10′ and 10’6 range. The 10’6 board will be bigger and will allow you to ride with more people for a fun ride. For longer rides and the desire to get away from it all, we recommend the Alpha range. This range allows you to have a similar feeling to a rigid board with the simplicity of use and storage of the inflatable. We have also developed the “Girly” range, designed for women with a slightly smaller Malibu and Alpha SUP board with a refined and feminine design.
