In addition to inflatable stand-up paddle boards, Aqua Marina also offers a range of paddles and accessories, canoes, kayaks, sports boats, fishing boats and more.

The Aqua Marina paddle board range has a lot of variety. They currently offer boards for beginners, children, advanced paddlers, SUP fitness, tandem and multi-person paddle, cruise, SUP fishing, running, sailing and versatile recreational use.
