In the past, those who referred to all-around paddle boards meant hard SUPs, as those were the original all-around paddle boards.

Inflatable Paddle Boards Are Perfect For Dogs
Inflatable SUP's tend to be ideal for paddling with a dog. They provide great traction for their paws and are quite stable.
Once you’ve mastered the technique and are ready to buy your own SUP, you may be wondering what to bring stand-up paddle boarding. Unlike kayak paddles, which have paddle blades on both ends, a SUP paddle has a T-handle grip on one end and a blade on the other. Unlike canoe paddles, SUP paddles are much longer and typically 6 to 10 inches taller than the rider. You paddle with one hand on the top T-handle grip and the other around the mid-shaft of the board, with your hands a little more than shoulder-width apart. The blade of a SUP paddle angles slightly forward so it can bend and recoil as you apply paddle pressure.
Enjoy the serenity of a solo paddle, or join your friends, family, or spouse for a day spent paddling on the water. When you pull the paddle out of the water at the end of your stroke, you sort of drop your top hand toward the opposite side of the board and bring the paddle through the air flatly to minimize wind resistance. You’ll see beginners doing this incorrectly and fighting against the wind with their paddle. The windier it is, the more you can feel the difference here. The paddle will be a straight shaft with a paddle that angles forward. You want the angle going forward, so the paddle has the ability to bend and recoil as you paddle it from front to back.

So thin that when the board is deflated, the two layers can collapse together almost completely flat, allowing the board to be rolled up and stored in a much smaller space.
Some of the shorter boards are sinkers and can barely support the weight of a small rider, so they can be very difficult to balance for most people. Back in 2010, less than 1% of all paddle boards sold were inflatable, even though that product had been on the market for five years or more at that time. The problem was that they were 4-inch-thick inflatable paddle boards, which rode like a banana through the water and were pretty useless. Today, well more than 70% of stand-up paddle boards sold worldwide are inflatable SUPs. They’ve taken over because aside from surfing and racing, ISUPs are pretty much superior all around. Inflatable paddle boards are easier to transport, easier to store, largely indestructible , and safer, as they’re softer to the touch.
