But there’s one thing they aren’t so great for: being carried. With the exception of inflatables or smaller surf SUPs, standup paddleboards are generally fairly heavy and bulky.

One of the best strategies to lighten the load is to use the tail lift technique. Follow these steps for an easier technique to lug around your board.
