Who knows a good manufacturer of inflatable SUP's (in China)?

[supErik]

I like to design my own inflatable Stand Up Paddle board and I already have got one from a manufacturer from China. It is quite good but 23 KG! and the finishing if done quite careles. So I want another board (also I want to alter the shape of my board a little) etc. A board specially made for the circumstances of Amsterdam (so I called it A'damboards)

But does anyone know a good manufacturer in China (good in the meaning of reliable, experienced, not going for quick money etc.) Ideal would be a manufacturer who also produces for a well known brand like C4, Fanatic, or Starboard etc.

Are you in China?  Usually we're looking for someone outside the Jade Empire to make stuff, especially since they make damn near everything already.


Here's a link to a half decent list of sup makers.  You can do the internet chasing for where and what. http://www.surfingevolved.com/sup-resources/sup-manufacturers.html

Off the top of my head, Hobie, Naish, Uli, Badfish, Boardworks Shubu, and Surftech Airsup are all respectable examples of inflatables.

Thanks for the URL but I don't want to buy an inflatable of one of the brends you named (allthough they are good) but I'm looking for a good manufacturer who can manufacture/produce/put together (I don't know the best word) my design of an inflatable SUP.

I already tried that (see adamboards.nl) but that board is not of top quality, so I'm looking for a manufacturer who can transform my drawing into a top board.

Gee, what a coincidence.

Good inflatable and China could be an oxymoron. The best ones outside of the US are made in South Korea.

My Red was made in China.

A few years ago this may have been true... Things change...
most factories that were exclusively "Korea only" now have branch factories in China.
So most big brands are now made in China.

That is true! China nowadays become the biggest ISUP manufacturing place.
We are Shark SUPs, we take customized design.
It is good if you can provide with your detail drawing in AI or Eps File.

From my experiences the new mistral construction blows all the china crap out of the water excuse the pun. Lighter stiffer requires only 15 psi and Oakes down to half the size plus they are made in Europe with good quality control. I still hate inflatables for anything than mirror flat water

ISUP have bocome more and more good quality in china market. the same as the high speed train.
