Paddleboards are often large, bulky and difficult to transport and store, especially if you live in the city. This often dissuades would-be paddleboarders from taking up this fun sport. Corran Addison Paddleboards may have a solution however, as they've developed a nifty three-piece paddleboard -- dubbed the 'Hydra' -- that can be packed into a roller case for easy transportation and storage.
The Hydra paddleboard is 2.7 meters long, and breaks into three pieces that are each less than a meter long and can be packed neatly into a car trunk or the included wheeled carry bag.
Once you arrive at the lake or the beach, you can assemble the board in less than a minute. The modular design of the Hydra means you can create different-sized boards by purchasing different attachments.
