Big low pressure balloon wheels float over it, but they are bulkier and cost more.<\/p>\n<p>We compared eight paddle board carts, from a forty six dollar dolly that stows inside a hatch to a

Tarmac, slipway, grass and gravel are fine with solid or airless wheels. More than about fifty metres of dry sand needs low pressure balloon tyres, and no amount of frame quality substitutes for that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Airless or inflatable<\/strong>: Airless wheels never puncture and need no attention, which suits a cart used a few times a month. Inflatable balloon tyres perform far better on soft ground, at the cost of checking pressure and the occasional puncture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frame material<\/strong>: Anodised or powder coated aluminium with stainless hardware survives salt water. Coated steel rusts at the welds and the fasteners, usually in the second season. This is where cheap carts fail, not at the wheels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Padding and straps<\/strong>: An inflatable board does not need scratch protection but it does need even support, and a hard board needs both. Ratchet straps hold better than cam buckles on rough ground, and any cart without straps at all will drop your board on the first kerb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Folded size<\/strong>: The board, the pump, the paddle and the bags already fill a car. Check the folded dimensions before the load rating, because the cart that does not fit will not get used.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Will a kayak cart work for a paddle board?<\/h3>Usually yes, since most carts sold for boards are kayak carts. The difference is how the board rests: a board sits flat on the arms, so wide padded arms are better than the narrow V-shaped cradles built for a kayak hull. Check the arm width and the padding rather than the product name.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Do I need balloon wheels?<\/h3>Only if you cross soft dry sand. Balloon tyres spread the load so the wheel stays on the surface, which transforms a beach carry. On tarmac, grass, gravel or firm wet sand a solid airless wheel does the same job with less bulk and no punctures.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">Can I leave the cart on the beach while I paddle?<\/h3>Most people do, and most carts survive it. The safer option is a cart that breaks down small enough to strap to the board or stow in a hatch, like the ASMSW. If you leave it, take the straps with you, since those disappear first.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cb-faq\"><h3 class=\"cb-q\">How much load capacity do I need?<\/h3>An inflatable board with pump, paddle and bag is typically 35 to 50 pounds, so a 100 pound cart is enough for one board. Two boards plus kit gets close to 150 pounds, and a loaded fishing kayak needs 300. Buy above your real load, because the ratings assume smooth ground.<\/div>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>For most paddlers the Suspenz SUP cart is the right buy: built for boards, aluminium and stainless so it survives salt, and airless wheels that need no thought. If your launch means a long walk over dry sand, the Bonnlo with twelve inch balloon wheels is the only real answer here, and nothing cheaper will do that job.<\/p>\n<p>On a budget, the Bonnlo universal trolley at around fifty seven dollars covers hard ground properly, and the ASMSW at forty six is enough for short carries. Whichever you pick, check the folded size against your boot first, and remember the cart still has to share that space with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stand-up-paddling.org\/en\/best-paddle-board-cover-bags\/\">the board bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A board cart is bought for one reason: the walk from the car park to the water.
