Abstract
An inflatable paddle board includes a board body which is inflatable and a central balancing fin which is configured to be provided at a bottom of the board body, the central balancing fin increases the surface area in contact with the water, so as to provide additional lateral resistance, and this added resistance stabilizes the paddle board, making it less prone to tip over, and also maintain a straight trajectory by reducing the lateral drift.
