Spacious Stand-Up Paddleboards

The Body Glove Crusader Can Safely Carry Six People

— February 16, 2018 — Lifestyle
Stand-up paddleboarding has begun to gain popularity in the world of water sports thanks to its combination of fitness and excitement, and the new Body Glove Crusader is a paddleboard that turns the sport into a communal experience as well. While the average stand-up paddleboard can host one or two riders, the Crusader is designed to hold as many as six.

The Body Glove Crusader comes in at 15 feet in length and 66 inches in width. This allows it to support up to 1,000 pounds, with the board itself weighing 76 pounds. That might sound heavy, but Body Glove has designed the Crusader to be significantly lighter than the average high-capacity stand-up paddleboard.

The board is ideal for families who want to go out on the water together and play, or for friends who want to use it for more aggressive surfing as a unit.
Trend Themes
1. Communal Watersport Equipment - Designing larger, high-capacity watersport equipment like the Body Glove Crusader to carry multiple individuals presents an opportunity for businesses to cater to group and family-oriented customers who want to participate in activities together.
2. Lightweight High-capacity Equipment - Creating paddleboards, kayaks or other watersport equipment that are lightweight while having high load-bearing capacity presents a business opportunity for companies as it makes equipment transport more effortless for outdoor enthusiasts.
3. Fitness and Adventure Gear for Families - Designing equipment like the Body Glove Crusader for families who enjoy physical activities and outdoor adventures is a growing trend worth exploring by businesses in the adventure sports and outdoor recreation industry.
Industry Implications
1. Water Sports Equipment - Manufacturing and designing high-capacity paddleboards, kayaks, and other equipment in the water sports industry is becoming more popular amidst the rise of group outdoor activities and adventuring.
2. Family Recreation and Adventure Industry - The Body Glove Crusader is a prime example of equipment made to bring the family and friends closer together on the water, providing opportunities for equipment and activity service providers in the family recreation and adventure space.
3. Lightweight Durable Equipment Manufacturing - As outdoor activities become more popular, designing lightweight, durable equipment like the Body Glove Crusader also presents a business opportunity for equipment manufacturers across the outdoor, recreation, and sports industry.
