Hardboards tend to be faster, offer better glide, and tend to maintain momentum better than inflatables. This is because the vast majority of inflatable boards tend to have fat planing hulls that maintain the same level of thickness from nose to tail. Keep in mind that you will need to inflate and deflate your inflatable before and after you go paddling. If you’re more of a load and go type of person, a hard paddle board will be your best friend. http://www.electric-supboard.com/
