Product Information

Greta Thunberg has become the youthful face of global climate change and made a voyage to New York by wind-powered yacht to deliver an emotive and emphatic plea to global politicians about the effects of climate change on the younger generation.

I don't think I need to describe kit in detail. Everyone even considering it knows why they want it. Everyone owning it hopes they will never need it. I originally thought an iSUP wasn’t for me, because the idea of inflating and deflating it sounded like a faff. But I don’t have space to store a regular board, or even to transport it. There are a LOT of perks to buying an inflatable paddleboard instead. If you’re thinking of buying an inflatable paddleboard in the UK, this is the most important thing to consider. Is it easy to inflate?

Proud to Protect

If my opening story wasn’t enough to show you, I’m no expert when it comes to Standup Paddleboarding. I’ve done it a few times – recently in Antigua, and Trentino’s Valle del Chiese– and I love it, but I don’t know much about it. So when it came to finding the best inflatable paddleboard in the UK, I was a bit lost.

Since I got this board to ENJOY it more than to work out, I decided to buy an electric pump to use with it. I went for the Outdoor Master SHARK Pump because it goes up to 20PSI, which is what my board needs.

Turtle Bay Paddleboards UK is a lovely small, family-run company so I was able to have a chat with Graeme, the brand owner, and get his advice. For my height and weight, he suggested the 10’6 board – and since he clearly knows a thing or two about paddleboards I was happy to follow his suggestion. Delphis Eco are a committed, eco friendly brand that make environmentally friendly every-day items you will find around your home, namely cleaning products. They are a really cool company that are determined to make a difference with their brand and do things a little differently. They combine effective cleaning with ‘green’ ideas, that make them the number one producer of eco-cleaning products on the market today. Delivery partners are very busy at this time of the year, therefore we are not able to guarantee a next day delivery, although we will use an express delivery service if you have opted for such. I’ve been using it for a couple of years now and am still a fan. It’s pretty loud, which is annoying, and it takes about 15 minutes to fully pump the board, but it’s still better than pumping by hand! Best Inflatable Paddleboard in the UK A giant inflatable turtle was spotted last week roaming the streets of London, did you spot it? Well, he caused quite the stir and was even papped and printed in multiple newspapers and publications to continue to raise awareness for Global Climate Change Week. If you didn’t spot the giant inflatable turtle last week you probably did notice all the other protests and amazing statements being made around the world last week. Amazingly, protests and statements were largely led by students and minors, notably 16-year-old Greta Thunberg. So, What Is Global Climate Week?

They supply to other companies and are committed to helping the British business community to protect our environment, minimising the harmful chemicals found in industrial cleaning products that ultimately end up in the sea. One of Delphis Eco’s most important visions is to help businesses cut their plastic usage, which is why they came up with the idea of a giant inflatable turtle. If you’re in the market for an inflatable paddleboard in the UK, a small, specialist team like Turtle Bay are perfect. You can chat to them about your needs to find the perfect board for you. Almost as soon as the words tumble out of my mouth, laden with the threat of jinx, the paddleboard beneath us lurches violently. And of course, we fall off. I was asking for it. We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. To make such a statement and to ensure the turtle really did make the desired impact, we needed a crew of 6 people and 2 hours to install. To make sure he was completely grounded, it took 16 tons of ground weight to keep him safe in Parliament Square.

Christmas Gifts

No constraint. For electronic models, remember to turn off the vest when you take this type of transport with your vest. The giant inflatable turtle is now touring the UK, visiting schools and continuing to promote Delphis Eco’s message and encourage us to consume less plastic, protect our oceans and use eco-friendly, non-harmful products wherever possible. Despite recent changes in UK legislation regarding plastic, there are few changes being introduced that are really going to make a difference.
