Paddling with a dog changes what you need from a board. The dog moves, usually at the worst moment, and a board that felt stable alone feels twitchy with forty pounds of labrador walking to the nose.<\/p>\n

Three things solve it: width, deck pad coverage and a way back on board. Thirty five inches of width is the practical minimum, and full length EVA matters because a dog will not stand only where the pad is.<\/p>\n

Claws are the other consideration. A thin deck pad and a light PVC skin will take scratches, which is why boards sold as pet friendly use heavier material.<\/p>\n

We compared eight boards and one traction pad on width, capacity, deck coverage and how a dog gets back aboard.<\/p>\n
