- I have a kayak and I have a Paddle Board so which one is better. I don't really know. I've never been on a paddle board before today. Both the Pelican kayak And Goosehill Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board just came in the mail. So let's head down to the lake and figure out what's the best Kayak Vs Paddle Board for the win. What's a better investment, more comfortable, easier to use, And just downright fun. The Kayak or the paddleboard?

Btw, u can get non inflatable paddle boards and inflatable kayaks, both take the same time to inflate because of pressure differences and size
Right and he already has the racks for the kayak
Agreed, you should compare a hard board to a hard Kayak or inflatable to inflatable. You will always give up some performance and take longer with an inflatable board or Kayak to set up and break down.
You can buy a blow up kayak, and also a hard body stand up paddle board. You should try again comparing blow ups of each and hard bodies of each.
A hard paddleboard should be more relatively easier to remount; and I get the joke that people who could fall off a bit easily.
Overall I think paddleboards would be much easier to mount contrary to the way he acted in the video; I think when it comes to remounting a kayak in the middle of the water it’s very difficult.
I always recommend a paddleboard over a kayak. Paddleboards can be modified with a seat if desired. I actually paddle with and sit on top of my Yeti 35 at times. Paddleboards are easier to transport. In the winter you don't get wet from paddle-wash like in kayaking--unless you fall in. Hard versus inflatable...that's another debate...
Best thing about a SUP is being able to stand up and see the fish. Really makes a difference and nice being able to see what’s under and around you. The stability of a kayak is really nice.
Or, just stand up in your kayak (get a sit on top version tho)
I used to use a Malibu fishing kayak that I could stand up in to sight cast. That led to standing to paddle to the next piece of fishy looking structure. Then one day I realized I spent more time standing on my kayak than I did sitting so I switched to a board. I will probably eventually get another kayak for late season use but the board will be my go to.
Buy a pump that you can plug into your car.
Or an adapter that let's u use a regular tire pump, they're very usefull
I think people should note that you can only use the car pumps to go to a certain pci.. you still have to hand pump the rest
I have both and they serve different purpose. I have a paddleboard in my truck all the time along with electric pump and a very small retractable fishing rod. In a hot day, I just jump into the river with my paddleboard, easy fishing along the river (not serious).... but for serous fishing trip, definitely my kayak.
I'm Zachary Fowler, and this 😉not😉, biased in any way shape or form. 😉.
;)
Hmm... Done kayak, inflatable kayak, standup,...... One tool for camping for light travel would be "packrafting". Top of the line is alpacka, nrs, kokoelli, aire etc.
Now you can get Russian or Chinese built packrafts that are alpacka knockoffs. These rafts weigh like 7-10 pounds and are much smaller size wise than the kayak/standup alternatives. I bought one from eBay from eastern Europe for near 300 us dollars.
The stand-ups are the most fun by far (especially in the ocean), the inflatable kayaks are stupid seaworthy/river capable with crazy payloads, a traditional kayak is much more fun to setup and use frequently or distance trips that require paddling..... However, if you need to hike a mountain, many milrs, or need something that can do it all (besides super long distance paddle trips).... Packrafts are king.
I recognize that landing , my girlfriend and I have launched our kayaks there quite a few times and paddled all the way down to north pond. For the paddle board I would recommend lake st George for the paddle board. The swimming is better there but I would probably wait till next summer for that. Keep up the great videos.
hey zach! how comparable would that all be with an inflatable kayak?
Man! I almost missed this thinking my Hubby had been on my TH-cam watching kayakers again!
You are as unbiased as CNN. Thanks, dude
Paddle boards got popular in Hawaii. Surfers got a little pissed off. 😂
Love this Zachary! Do more of this style. So funny!
Old Town canoe is still the best! Hands down!
( I'm also an Old Town Maine resident)
Keep proud Maine Craftsman working and feeding their families!!
Love your vids! Glad i can catch one
I think that it just depends on preferences. Paddle boarding is amazing and fun in Hawaii and if you have good balance. Kayaking is fun for fishing and going down rivers.
The right size paddleboard in relation to the user helps.
Im not complaining about hard paddle boards and inflatable kayaks. Dude really well portrays how stuff are.
Zach-ste,r YOU CLEARLY ARE THE MAN!!!!
You can also stand up in most canoes if you have decent balance. It can help with back pain on long canoe trips.
Keep my board inflated whole season and store it against ceiling in living room (looks really nice BTW). For winter deflated and stuck it into the wardrobe. Kayaking is absolutely possible with SUP. Elevated chair and kayak oar and of you go. The versatility of SUP is huge! What you haven't touch and it is very important is wind susceptibility. SUP is water gliding and is very susceptibility to wind. So on open water with winds above 15km/h it gets tricky. Where kayak is not gliding on water but cut in with the hull into the water body, so is not that susceptibility for wind
Hey Guys ill be in 10 min before it starts to watch it with you and chat in the live premier
10 min?
Love the video and you are right, on a hot summer day the paddleboard would be fun. I have made a stabilizer for my paddleboard and turned into a fishing vessel. Video is coming soon.
Inflating an inflatable SUP is no small feat. It takes me 20 minutes for my 12.5' x 32", and it is more like weight training once the pressure gets over 8 psi. So your demonstration makes a good point. I am almost too exhausted to use it, but that is more about being out of shape after winter. Non-pressurized inflatables are definitely quicker and easier, but the performance sucks more. Being proportionately bigger to my board to what most people are, makes for a bigger challenge doing that standing thing, which I am still working on. Sitting is great, especially with the seat, which my SUP has spots to clip it on. Seen some people sitting on coolers and paddling.
Best part of the SUP, is that it is totally flat, like a large empty room where you can furnish it howevere you like. One thing I don't like about my sit on top kayak, is that where I sit, where my feet go, has been decided for me. Getting in and out, I always have to be conscious of where I place my feet. But not having to inflate it is great and the internal storage is great. Plus it has peddles and a sail However, I also have to pay a large monthly fee to store it and have to travel an hour from home to use it. Meanwhile, I live only a ten minute walk from the water.
I have heard there is a modular solid SUP that takes seconds to assemble, Easy Eddy. But it is probably too small for us bigger people. It is also much larger to pack.
Great video by the way.
I have both an inflatable and a rigid touring SUP and love them both. I can fish off my rigid (botē flood) and also sup camp or even surf. On a hot day I like to take a dip. The inflatable good for transport. Every time I see a kayaker I just feel they are not having as much fun as me lol.
Wasted 10 minutes hoping for unbiased review
5:10 You surly skipped this part than.
See this - DARTH VADER RETIREMENT, PADDLING LA RIVER (Jones Earl James Narration) S2E1b River Wild Part 2
Only part I like from video is 9:24 step contraption. Brilliant idea. I remember balancing myself on that little door catch, slipping down. What it is called? Car door step I suppose.
Oct 1 and it is cold in Maine. Here in the Texas swamp, 91F/32.7C and feels like 101F/38.3C with the humidity. Just walking outside and you start sweating. Do anything outside and you are dripping with sweat. lol Definitely more a paddle board day. You would definitely would want a little dip after pumping that board up.
LOL ... You can use that inflatable board for fishing but, if your looking for a paddle board for fishing I recommend looking at the Sea Eagle SUP 126. I have it and its great! Its wider therefore more stable and has some nice accessories for fishing ... with seat that allows you to row like a kayak ... etc. It s great, you don't need a rack for the car to transport (all fits in my little Mazda 3 trunk) and I can store it in a closet ... great for living in apartments. I also use an electric pump sets up in 10 min and ready to go in about 15 min setting up all equipment for fishing. I would like a kayak also (perhaps someday) but this Sea Eagle SUP 126 works great. If you decide to get it ... here's some tips. I don't recommend the bravo electric air pump they sell ... after checking customers that got this on amazon it turns out they're not happy for it did not last very long. 2nd if you want an electric trolling motor shop around, seen the same one they recommend cheaper on Amazon. I just got the package with the seat (comes with Scotty Rod Holders) and EZ Cart for easy transport which is good if you can't set up near the shore ... etc. If you don't want the Scotty Rod Holders than just get basic package you can find a the same seat at Walmart for cheaper ... etc.
I don’t care what anyone says, those backwell storage areas on argoes or any other sit in kayak are a bad design. Reaching backwards throws your center of balance off and I’m sure has led to fatal accidents.
I dont know about other boats but I got into mine and took out my jacket without destabilizing my kayak and it it was rougher out I think it be better to pull up to the bank or something. but I really like it
The first time I got on a SUP I had zero effort getting up.
The first time I tried to use a ocean kayak I flipped trying to get it in.
I will go with the kayak.
Does he know that the non-inflatable paddle boards are better?
I love my inflatable SUP. Have zero room for a kayak unfortunately but I use a seat on my sup and it does the trick. Just being out with nature makes me so happy. Awesome video☺️
Kayak all the way! However, if you really want to hike up and paddle a lake or even carry a boat with you in your backpack or bike trip, I would go with a packraft all the way. Coming in at only 7-8 pounds, packs the size of a small tent and can carry up to 500 pounds of load...they are unbeatable for carrying. Plus they inflate really fast. Check out Alpacka or some other brands and do a demo.
I actually have the same kayak you were using and it’s been great. Just took it last weekend to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota near the Canadian border for a couple overnights and fishing. It worked great, but you do need to pack pretty like...and should avoid big waves out the middle of the lakes. Other than that it’s a winner and light enough to portage.
Kind of a odd comparison. I agree with you that it really depends on what you want to do with it but in this case your comparing an inflatable paddleboard with a not inflatable kayak so of course in this case the kayak is going to be less work to get it in the water. Inflatables are great for storage and transport but a hardboard is going the be no more work than your kayak. I too would prefer the kayak if I'm fishing but there are better boards out there specifically for fishing. They will have a wider hull.
For anyone thinking about buying an inflatable kayak. Spoke to a couple on my last outing, she was in a single seater, he was in a tandem. They said don't bother with the single, get a 2 seater inflatable and use it as a single. It's doesn't cost that much more, takes up the same amount of space, and is way better on the water.
I have both a one person and a 2 person one. I prefer a 2 person one, it's more stable, has a much higher weight capacity, I have more space, if I've got a buddy they can jump on and it's got more room for attachments. Even with 2 people I feel more stable than I did on the other one. I find the single person one stable enough, but the as a heavier person the added stability was nice.
I don't fish, but I use it instead of my other one. The only downside is that it's a little bit slower on the water, but not dramatically. So if you want speed, get a single person or a smaller one with just over the weight capacity you need. Otherwise, get a 2 person one.
What was that step thingy?! I need one of those for sure!
I’m thinking of starting out with kayak or SUP. I live in Singapore so it’s all year summer but I’m mostly Looking for something I can paddle around mangroves and nearby island hops and I also don’t have a car so it has to be inflatable. what do you suggest I get? SUP or inflatable kayak
We have boards kayaks and an old cedar strip canoe. Defiantly use the paddle boards the most but ours are fiberglass. Lol I only stand about 1/4 of the time. Like to swim more than fish so..
A better comparison is kayak vs non-inflatable paddle board. The board is lighter to lift, easier to store, and the standup position allows you to see the marine life much more easily. If it's just a bit windy, forget about paddle boarding! I'm an avid kayaker, and the advantages of a kayak is there are a million uses for them, you can fish off them because they have much more space; you can go on long expeditions and even kayak camping in them. Kayaks and paddle board have completely different uses. If I have to chose one and I have space for it, I would chose the kayak.
The bored is more like like creek camping and traveling over down trees if you ask me
I wish you would have warned us that we may need sunglasses to watch this episode. 😆😆
So awesome LOL. Looks like I found the right video. Let's go fishing!
Well , you've helped me make my decision . I'm getting a canoe !
I like the kayak better. They can be a handful to go from lake to lake . I use the ascend t12 sit on kayak so you can stand up if you want like the paddle board.
I fish off of my paddleboard and kayak. advantages of paddleboard fishing are that you can sight fish and cast better standing up. also take a medium size cooler and set it right behind your feet, then you can sit down when you want. Kayaks are better for fishing, but paddleboarding is more fun.
Stand up paddle boards are excellent for flat calm waters without much wind. Especially if you are hoping on and off the board often. Toss a milk create on the deck and you get a pretty great seating platform to fish off of. From the high vantage point it is really easy to see whats under you in the water. There’s a reason why bass boat have you standing up high on that deck, after all.
Personally they require FAAAR more athletics to get the most out of them and you do have to go out expecting to go in the drink. For cold weather, a wet suite is a what you need. I’ve done entire days paddling down a river in one. I found it very enjoyable.
That all said, I think you got the wrong board Fowler. For flat water touring and fishing I would have wanted a board that was at least 12 ft long and about 35 inches wide and with tiedowns for the front and back of the deck. With something like that you would be much happier.
Also lengthen your paddle and inflate your board a bit more. You really want to take them right up to the boards limits as it makes the stiffer and thusly more rigid, powerful and stable.
I’m a Boy Scout and at my summer camp I did a kayak merit badge and a paddle board cert. and I like the kayak more but sadly on capsizing with kayak I had to do it with my boots and had to set them out for two weeks to dry out...
Can we get a link for that door jam step doohickey?
I like both:p paddle board for enjoying water and goofing off and kayak for fishing
I got an ebike with a huge saddle bag probably big enough to put one of those in. This just blew my mind.
We have 3 and use low profile beach chairs that are way more comfy and I added extra d-rings and use a yak crate for storage and rod holders.
It really matters on what paddleboard do you have because the one I have which is not blowup it’s plastic and I can walk around on it and I fish off of it to and it was like $150 at Dick’s Sporting Goods so it all depends on which one you have because it works fine for me
I'd love to see a video on your popper target for slingshot shooting
I LOVE MY KAYAK! I have an OLDTown Trip 10 DLX Fishing yak!!! its amazing!!! I need to figure how to make videos for my channel in my yak though!!!!
I enjoy fishing from a paddle board better. I can move all around the board easily. With a kayak I had to twist, weird like, to get tackle or gear behind me. But, I imagine if you have a much larger and stable kayak you might be able to move around better to reach gear.
Legend says he’s still their on the shore with the pump
Which slingshot do you recommend to most on your website ?
Zach what is the brand name of your car door jam roof step?
I could use one of those.
SUV DOORSTEP
I have a padded board and omg it's took me a while but I can now stand up on it for long periods of time but the water must be calm as a passive boat wash out or high winds I ite as well call it swimming lol. But I love it in the water just as much as out the water.
I am getting a kayak 🛶 though 😂
Loving the odd shoes 😁
Fun to watch but man I'm cold watching you. If I wasn't disabeld ide love the board been fun in my teens. But at 17 busted my hip so my Ballance wasnt great but ide had fun till my 26th year after that nope hurt my back bad. But I do wish they was here years ago or realy wished kayaks was better I think they had 25 years ago. But wasn't big the Jon boat was big. Still got one love it. But yea if I had one wish just for me would be not disabled. Sadly if it was a wish for anything or anyone. Ide still be disabeld. Ide help someone else. But great video well live I missed by just few min. Bummer. Would have loved to say hi. But you have a great week and god bless
I also air the paddle board up at home, but if I had to wait till the water I would use a 12v pump.
I'm a hardcore kayaker.. wilderness systems ATAK. I've paddled "affordable " kayaks.. go on demo days and find one you like and spend the money... you won't regret it!
Definitely worth it to save up for a standable kayak. I have the pelican 110 hd and it's awesome to be able to stand and paddle. Or fish.
Look at the Fish Eagle FishSup126. Sups are perfect if they are outfitted for fishing...this one wasn't...at all...
Where did you get that step for over the door post? Best helpful item EVER!
Thankyou for kayak description
Hi, the paddle board looks like a summer sport. Kayak looks like a hobby: the fishing photo, or drinking a beer. Does that kayak require to learn to flip and roll, while seated.
Like you said, both have their advantages. But you listed the advantages of a user, I wanted to give the advantages from a viewer.
The advantages of the kayak is that you probably are more efficient and more effective. You will get more camera shots and probably better quality clips from the kayak. Plus you will probably do more fishing because you’re sitting rather than standing, so that’s more content.
But with the paddle board you fall in the water more. And that’s great content.
So it’s really 50:50
I have had both an inflatable kayak and SUP. I definitely prefer the SUP.
Reminds me for Tent vs hammock, right when I saw your Post on Facebook - great fun to watch! Made my morning!
Two different flip flops, you look like me haha
Hey Zack Fowler, have you seen Oru fold up kayaks? You get the best of both worlds portable, compact and lightweight water travel system.
Paddle boards and kayaks, in the ocean they are called SPEED BUMPS.
LOL
Fowler's Makery and Mischief love your videos Zack
Thanks for being so awesome Fowler
Likewise thank you for watching
I have never seen a paddle board you inflate. My mom has a paddle board and it’s awesome. I also have 2 different types of kayaks and I prefer not splashing water all over me.
I'll be getting on a paddle board for the first time this weekend. Should be comical.
How did that go XD
@@jac_the_ostrich9754 I was with a group that wanted to kayak so did the kayak so as not to fall behind. Still haven't been on a paddleboard...
Okay you falling on the paddle board seriously helped me feel a looooot better. 😭😭😭 Thank you! I kept falling because I would bend my knees to balance like a snowboard and that would make it worse.
Apparently you have to do the opposite and lock your legs straight? I kept falling so much and was so sad and wet and embarrassed. 🤦♀️ Everyone was so good at it but me lol. Thanks for cheering me up!
Probably also because every guy/girl was laughing at me. But I keep wanting to try and learn more skills! I used to let that stuff bring me down and stop me. But watching this. Idk I may struggle but I want to try again. Even if I eat ish!
I found that standing towards the back of the paddle board helps when its a bit wavy.
@@savaiiheaven8143 Thanks for the advice! I'll try it next time!
@@chanellelay2278 no problem. Another thing that was really important for me was making sure my feet were parallel.
Pretty Rad!!! 👍👍😎
Not all inflatable paddle boards are created equal. Different boards displace different amounts of water are more stable because of hull design. Just like kayaks are not all created equal. You ever flip over your kayak over to see what happens?
haven't flipped this one. it really wasn't as un stable as I ment made it look as you can see chris jumped on it and had no problem
@@FowlersMakeryandMischief figured this was going to take you to the middle of the sup vs kayak battle much like hammock vs tent lol
you are making it look much harder on a paddle board paddle boards are very easy once you get the hand of it!
Love your videos
That means a lot you harder my comment
You can use it like a kayak. Add a beach chair and a cooler.
Your videos are so funny you need your own show. It makes my day go by so much easier thinking about all the cool stuff you do.
It all depends on what your doing
No shit... Very insightful aren't you? There's still one better than the other, because one more versatile, you can do more with one than the other.. so pick one ..
Hell if I know, but bowfishing from a SUP is a goal of mine haha.
Extremely biased comparison, waste of my time haha. First time paddle boarding I never fell off, its not hard at all. Ive fished off both. I guess if you have as bad of balance as this guy go get a kayak. And I can pack as much on my paddle board as in his kayak. I like both
I though the same initially, but soon realized his first showing was more of a skit then anything. He game them both an unbiased platform towards the end of the video.
remember, if you buy one kayak, expect to buy more for guests eventually because personally i dont feel completely safe kayaking alone.
You can always easily get out of kayaks when they tip its just more efficient to flip while in it
Sit ON kayak is the answer lol. Best of both worlds
Those white legs blinded me wow! Lol!
None compares to a good Canoe 👌✅
There are pumps that inflates both ways when pumping. Takes just few mins with that one
U DA Man...." LOL
Do you have a set day for the premier of 30 day survival challenge?
Kayak sit on top only way to go if in all season weather If you tip a inside one out duck hunting or such it's going to be miserable you have to dump all OR most of the water out just to get back to shore and when it's ten foot deep or more probably not happening so you have to drag it back been down this road before testing and thinking what's best for me in all matters fishing hunting checking traps etc
I’ve used both the boat is better for fishing and getting around fast and around objects but paddle board is much more fun
Man card revoked that's funny a inflatable board might be cool for the summer fun take with you where you go and blow it up I have fished off a solid one before to but not the most comfortable kinda wide to sit on for a while
Have had a kayak and SUP
1.sup is lighter to lift on/off the roof racks, while the yak was a nuisance lifting off a lifted 4wd...
2.kayak easier stability for fishing but those rear storage makes my ribs strain so makes it useless for me.
3. Sup you can have more fun...
We sold our kayak n bought a boat to fish n sup for a family fun day out.
Both have advantages just depends on what you want it for
