About Tom Leithner | SUP Board Gear

First, thanks for checking out this page.

SUP Board Gear is an online retailer specializing in Stand Up Paddle Boards.

As a true enthusiast, I have been paddling for over twenty years and teaching people how to paddleboard and sell boards since 2008.

During this time, I’ve seen the industry grow from 2 companies making boards to over 200 manufacturers today.

This has led me to create a Stand Up Paddle Board SUP with my girlfriend and best friend, Emily Lyon.

We wanted to make it easy for anyone who wants a board of their own or someone looking for that perfect gift idea that will put a smile on anyone’s face.

Welcome to SUP Board Gear!

My name is Tom Leithner, and I’m the founder of SUP Board Gear. I created this website to provide honest, unbiased reviews of the best stand-up paddle boards and accessories on the market.

I’ve been a passionate stand-up paddle boarder for years and have tried various boards and gear. I know all too well how hard it can be to find a board that’s the right size, shape, and weight for you. That’s why I created this website.

My goal is to help you find the best SUP board and gear for your needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a stable all-around board to take out on flatwater or an inflatable board to take on a camping trip, I’ve got you covered.

I review all boards and accessories, from touring boards to racing boards and even inflatable SUPs. I also provide helpful information about stand-up paddle boarding and offer tips on how to get the most out of your paddling experience.

At SUP Board Gear, I strive to provide honest, unbiased reviews of the best boards and gear on the market. I take great care in testing and evaluating each product, so you can be sure you’re getting an accurate and unbiased opinion.

I hope you find this website helpful in your search for the perfect SUP board and gear. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Happy paddling!

About the Authors Tom Leithner

Tom Leithner

Hello, I’m Tom Leithner, a true enthusiast of SUP boards.

I’m writing this blog to help you select paddleboards and give you essential information that you might miss in the sea of boards.

I’m a big fan of getting out in the water and enjoying the outdoors.

I’ve been supping for years now, and I’m enjoying it every day.

For me, paddleboarding was just an idea before it transformed into a passion, and through that process, I have learned so much about this fantastic sport.

I am the CEO of SUP Board Gear, and we specialize in custom-built paddles. Our mission is to promote stand-up paddleboarding for all who share our passion.

We offer an expansive selection of products from leading brands such as NSP, Mad River, Malibu Kayaks, and Dagger Paddles, to name a few.

We also offer one-on-one lessons with pro instructors that will take you through the basics before you hit the water!

And Emily Lyon, Thank you very much! I am so excited to have joined the team; I feel fortunate to be considered to join some accomplished watermen and women.

I hope I can do my part to inspire other paddlers!

I look forward to representing SUP Board Gear and attending events this year. Hopefully, some of them will be international, too; meeting the other SUP Board Gear athletes would be cool.
