MANUFACTURERS:
SOL Paddleboards – Located in Telluride, CO
Based in Telluride, CO, SOL Paddleboards offers ultra-durable SUP packages including pump, paddle, repair kit & industry leading warranty. SOL uses a specially manufactured sidewall specific PVC which is more flexible as well as thicker which makes rolling up the board easier. The PVC has a higher thread count for added durability and also enhances the overall rigidity and stiffness of the board. All D-rings are attached to the board with heavy-duty nylon webbing for every D-ring they put on their boards. Unbreakable click fin boxes and fins makes it easy to remove and put in for shallow water or for paddling on a lake. SOL Paddle Boards is committed to some small-town, small-company ethics so treating people like family is essential.
