[__Pau Hana Big EZ Angler Stand Up Paddle Board__](http://pauhanasurfco.com/product/bigez-angler/) A stand out among stand-ups, the Big EZ is designed for open-ocean stability. With screw-in deck mounts for securing your gear and a bay in the belly for a WaveJet motor, it’s a great board for longer journeys. $1,350

[__Naish Mana Air Inflatable Board__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G4ZFPEQ?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20) Most boards the size of a small boat aren’t that portable. This inflatable ride is an exception. Measuring 11 feet, 6 inches, and weighing only 29 pounds, it rolls up for stowing in a pack, along with a removable fin and a hand pump. Throw it over your shoulder and go—no roof rack required. $1,460

[__Kailoa Laulau Adjustable Stand-Up Paddle__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JMXTCW8?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20) Adjustable paddles tend to be heavy and hard to adjust, but the LauLau’s blend of carbon fiber and thermoplastic polymers makes it light and nimble. An easy-to-open lever on the handle sets the shaft anywhere between 70 and 86 inches—perfect for when you need to kneel for a bit. $300

[__Yakima SUPPup Rack__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K86ELEC?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20) You probably can’t stow a stand-up paddleboard in your car, even if it’s an SUV. The SUPPup, which fastens to most roof racks, cradles multiple boards (max 34-inch width) with padded straps. Tuck the ends in so they don’t flap in the wind. $160

[__Patagonia R1 Back Zip Full Wetsuit__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0080B8BRK?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20) Buttery soft neoprene and a fuzzy green polyester lining make the R1 feel more like you’re sliding into a sleek unitard than wriggling into a tight sausage casing. Your mobility isn’t compromised—meaning you’ll paddle with ease—and an extra panel of polyester around the neck helps keep water out. $350

__BioLite [Campstove](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQHET9O?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20) and [Grill](http://shop.biolitestove.com/portablegrill.html#.U45E4BbfaQo)__ Channel both your inner pyromaniac and your outer tech geek with the BioLite Campstove, which uses sticks as fuel to heat up a thermoelectric generator. Excess energy is then harnessed to charge any device you plug into the USB port. The superlight grill with folding legs sits right on top. Campstove, $130; Grill, $60.

[__OluKai Kulapa Kai Sandals__](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008R33WEI?ie=UTF8&tag=wiredte-20) Vegan-friendly flip-flops sound like they’d be anything but comfortable or stylish. But the Kulapa Kais, made entirely from synthetic materials, hug the foot like a cushiony slipper and come in more than a dozen attractive colors. Wear them to the put-in or take them for a hike. $60
