New Year, New Water: 2026 SUP Resolutions and New Year’s Deals | Rockerwave
Happy New Year to all my fellow paddlers in Australia, Hawaii, and New Zealand! I’ve spent 20 years on the water, and there is no better feeling than catching the very first sunrise of 2026 from the middle of the bay. It’s a time for fresh starts and new adventures.
If your resolution is to get fit or spend more time with the family, an isup vs sup decision is the first step. A blow up sup is the ultimate freedom machine—it fits in your trunk and is ready for any best paddle board for beginners mission from the Gold Coast to the North Shore.

The Explorer’s Choice: WERSIY 350cm Extended SUP
For many of you, 2026 is about going further. If you’re planning on cross-lake cruising or coastal exploration, you need a Touring SUP Board that doesn't leave your feet aching. The WERSIY 350cm Extended SUP is better for long-distance seekers because it’s built for "Extended All-Round" comfort.
The WERSIY Extended All-Round Series (available in “Tide-Blue Crest”, “Crimson Tide Red”, and more) is designed for long-distance gliding. Its 350cm length (20-50cm longer than regular SUPs) improves gliding efficiency and reduces fatigue. Made of 0.9mm high-density drop-stitch PVC, it maintains 15PSI hardness while weighing only 7.5kg. The 81cm width provides stability, and the 15cm thickness supports a maximum load of 130kg. The ergonomic contour deck pad is thickened in the standing area to reduce foot soreness during long trips. Accessories include a carbon fiber paddle, dual-action air pump, and a removable large center fin.
The Pro Choice: Pro WERSIY Cruising SUP
If your New Year’s goal is to improve your speed and join local community races, you need the Touring Paddle Board of the pros. Rigidity is speed. The Pro WERSIY Cruising SUP is better for performance-oriented riders because it handles 18PSI of pressure, making it as stiff as a hard board.
The WERSIY Cruising Series (available in “Aqua-Shade Blue 380”) is a professional-grade navigation gear. It features a streamlined 78cm narrow design to reduce water resistance. Made of 1.1mm ultra-thick drop-stitch PVC with reinforced side rails, it reaches 18PSI inflation hardness for a 140kg maximum load. The deck is optimized for weight reduction, and the 3-fin setup improves tracking in mild currents. Accessories include an ultra-light 0.7kg carbon fiber paddle, a high-pressure pump, and a hard-shell storage case. It is the perfect gear for advanced cruising and precision water activities.
Expert New Year Tip: The Local Pump Strategy
I get asked all the time: "Why don't you sell a 12V paddle board pump?" The truth is, I want you to have a pump that has a local warranty in Sydney or Honolulu. An electric pump for sup boards is essential for a pump up paddle board experience that doesn't leave you sweaty before you start.
Buy your board from us, save the $50 with our New Year discount, and go buy a high-quality 12V paddle board pump from your local marine shop. It’s the pro way to gear up.

Resolving to Care for Your Gear
In 2026, let’s promise to stop leaving boards in the hot sun! Salt and UV rays are tough. Always rinse your board and learn how to store paddle boards properly. A sup board rack or a paddle board wall rack in your garage is a must-have. Proper paddle board storage using a paddle board wall rack keeps your gear ready for a spontaneous sunset session any day of the year.

The water is calling. Whether you want the comfort of the WERSIY 350cm Extended or the speed of the Pro Cruising SUP, make 2026 the year you master the paddle. Happy New Year, and I'll see you on the water!
