An inflatable paddle board includes an inflatable body, a glue attaching layer, and a padding layer, the glue attaching layer is arranged between a top surface of the inflatable body and the padding layer, so as to reduce the occurrence of bulging and glue peeling, thereby improving the service life of the inflatable paddle board.

A traction pad for fixing to a water board has a contoured upper surface with raised portions protruding therefrom by a protrusion height relative to the contoured surface, some of the raised portions include a higher portion of greater protrusion height than a lower portion; a proportion of the raised portions in one or more regions of the contoured surface have the respective higher portion located in a particular direction on the respective raised portion. A kick for a water board can include a curved or concave lower surface. The kick can have holes in a back face and/or a slot into an upper or lower surface.
