How to pack a paddleboard properly?
To send a stand up paddleboard abroad safely, make sure that it is properly protected and packed. This will decrease the chance of damage. We have prepared a set of guidelines that will help you to pack a paddleboard properly and prepare other accessories for shipping.
Step 1. Prepare a paddleboard for transportation. Make sure that it is clean and put it in a paddleboard bag if you have one. Otherwise, we recommend using furniture blankets or another type of coverage to protect your shipment.
Step 2. Prepare other items of a paddleboard kit. If you plan to send an inflatable paddleboard to another country, you need to pack paddles, pumps, and other accessories. Use bubble wrap to protect fragile parts and items.
Step 3. Prepare a box. Put plenty of packing peanuts or cushioning materials on the bottom of the box.
Step 4. Nest your board and paddles inside the box. If there is any extra space left, you can put other accessories there. In this case, put cardboard scrap or bubble wrap to separate the items from each other, decrease tension, and minimize the chance of damage. If you plan to send an inflatable paddleboard to another country, it should be packed properly in its bag and then nested into the box.
Step 5. Prepare the box. Fill the voids with packing peanuts or other cushioning materials.
Step 6. Double-check and seal the box. Make sure that the items are immovable inside the box. If so, use enough adhesive tape to seal it.
