A Single Chamber system board, as its name suggests, is a board that consists of one inflatable chamber that makes up the entire board. There are 2 types of inflatable chambers. The side walls of a double rail SUP can handle beatings and scratches much better compared to single rail SUPs. An additional and wider layer is laminated to the sealing layer to add strength, stiffness, and stability. Quality boards are constructed with double rail build with a sealing layer that connects the top and bottom.

This means that the side walls are made of a thin layer of PVC which does not add to neither the strength nor the stability of the board. Some brands do not inform you about the rails - often because it is a single rail construction. SUP-boards must handle high pressures, be stiff and have stability therefore, it is important that the manufacturer has constructed the rails with durable materials. You should also pay attention to how the side walls / rails are build. Now you understand the construction of the board, and why the top and bottoms are important. It requires extra materials and work, which therefore makes it more costly.

This is for pro performance boards, which come closest to the rigidity of hardboards! Furthermore, the construction is also more resistant to impact and tear.

If you use the single skin construction as the core and laminate another layer of PVC on the top and bottom, you have a significantly stiffer construction called Double Skins. A board with such a design is a medium to high performance SUP that lies between single and double skins in terms of stiffness and weight. The FUSION design is also, by some manufacturers, called MSL or FLT. This is a fusion design called Light Weight (LW). If the dropstitches are reinforced with an adhesive surface on which PVC layers can be laminated, a lightweight construction is obtained which is stiffer than single skin constructions. This is the most simple and flexible construction, which is also very transportable due to its low weight. Below you can read about the 3 types:Ī SUP without additional laminations or reinforcements to the dropstitch construction, is referred to as a Single skin. All boards are constructed of a top and bottom layer of PVC fused with so-called drop stitches (thin nylon threads). The goal is always to get so set on the rigidity of a hardboard. The construction of a SUP is important because it constitutes the major part of the board’s rigidity.
