The adventure travel gear industry has exploded in recent years as companies rush to meet the demand of adventure seekers who are traveling far and wide to experience the very best nature has to offer. Whether you’re already a well-traveled international explorer or are new to the idea and just getting started, an inflatable standup paddle board is a piece of gear that should definitely be on your radar. In addition to the fact that they are super easy to travel with, an iSUP will open up a whole new world of exploration possibilities and help you make the most of each new overseas adventure. Here are our top five reasons why every serious adventurer should own one. They Fly Everyone knows that inflatable paddle boards float, but one little-known secret is that they also fly. Inflatable SUPs can be deflated and rolled up, packed into a backpack or large bag, and checked with your luggage whenever you fly. You can also pick up a handy wheeled SUP backpack which makes it super easy to roll your board through sprawling airport terminals. They are Bombproof Inflatable SUPs are constructed using military grade materials that are designed to withstand an insane amount of abuse. Unlike traditional rigid paddle boards that are susceptible to dings, cracks, and other damage, inflatables are ding-proof and virtually indestructible. Whether you are throwing your board on a plane or paddling down a rocky river, inflatable paddle boards are built to take a licking and keep on ticking. Great All-Around Versatility Let’s face it — whenever you’re embarking on an overseas adventure, it’s not always possible to know exactly what you will be getting yourself into. Paddling conditions can and do vary a great deal from location to location, so it’s always best to be prepared. Today, there are a wide variety of

If this is your first time traveling abroad -- or maybe you just need a refresher -- here's a list of 20 tips you should do or bring before your trip. Security & Health 1. Check-in with your doctor and insurance carrier. Double check and make sure that you have all of the proper vaccinations and that you have renewed all essential prescriptions. Also, ask you medical insurance provider if your policy applies overseas for emergencies. If it doesn’t, and you want to add extra coverage, consider supplemental insurance. 2. Bring copies of your passport. If your passport gets stolen or lost you want to be sure that you can still get back into the country, or be able to prove your citizenship. 3. Leave a copy of your passport. For extra backup, leave a copy of your passport at home or with someone you trust. Consider making an electronic copy you can store in your email account as well. 4. Register with your embassy. If there’s a problem in the country, this will make it easier for your government to contact you and get you to safety. Money 5. Look up the monetary conversion before you go. Finding out that one Danish Krone is equal to just 19 cents … bad surprise. Make sure you do your math before you travel to get a sense of where the conversion rate is at. 6. Make sure your credit card will work in the country you're visiting. European banks have switched almost completely to the more secure chip-and-PIN technology, and fewer businesses abroad are accepting the outdated magnetic-strip cards. 7. Go to a bank or ATM in the country you’re visiting. The conversion centers in the airport or around the city tend to be huge rip-offs. You won’t get charged as
