Discover all the advantages of SUP fishing with our Hooké AIR 11'6 paddle board

SUP fishing has been gaining in popularity for many years now! We have therefore designed THE perfect inflatable paddle board to practice this sport on different waterways: the Hooké Air 11’6.

The advantages of SUP vs boat  

1. Accessibility to different bodies of water such as lakes that are difficult to access, rivers and oceans;
2. Ease of transport;
3. Easily stored in the trunk of a car;
4. Smaller carbon footprint than that of boat fuelled by gasoline;
5. No fuel, license, or insurance fees required;
6. Action fishing, a combination of fishing and physical activity;
7. The paddle stroke allows for discrete movement without frightening the fish.

The advantages of SUP vs fishing kayaks 

1. Standing allows for you to have greater perspective on your surroundings (able to see the fish);
2. Sitting on the cooler (raised higher than a kayak) allows for a better grab;
3. Much lighter and easy transport;
4. No need to purchase a roof rack;
5. Allows for a more sport-fishing approach.
