The product consists of a frame that can be installed onto two [paddleboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esup) before heading out onto the water and will accommodate the finishing of the installation process on the water. This will put a [floating lounge between two boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chill-series) with enough space for multiple people to relax and lounge on the water without having to sit separately. The SUP Paddle Lounge is suited for use with a wide range of existing gear and can be quickly removed for moving onto your next location.
