Although summer’s now here in the UK it doesn’t mean the swell’s gone for good. In fact this early part of the season can be a good time to score superb conditions with much milder air temperatures. Even in high summer Mother Nature can smile favourably on us and deliver stunning waves. Let’s hope we get this more often than not in 2015.

With the above in mind here are a bunch of performance stand up paddle surf boards to help you tackle conditions when they turn on. These rip sticks also work well in slack surf and therefore have all round appeal and incredible versatility. You just have to decide which one’s right for you.
