Aero is a Greek prefix relating to flight and air. In British English, it is used as an adjective related to flight (e.g., as a shortened substitute for aeroplane).

Aero, Ærø, or Aeros may refer to:

A classic is an outstanding example of a particular style; something of lasting worth or with a timeless quality; of the first or highest quality, class, or rank – something that exemplifies its class. The word can be an adjective (a classic car) or a noun (a classic of English literature). It denotes a particular quality in art, architecture, literature, design, technology, or other cultural artifacts. In commerce, products are named 'classic' to denote a long-standing popular version or model, to distinguish it from a newer variety. Classic is used to describe many major, long-standing sporting events. Colloquially, an everyday occurrence (e.g. a joke or mishap) may be described in some dialects of English as 'an absolute classic'.

"Classic" should not be confused with classical, which refers specifically to certain cultural styles, especially in music and architecture: styles generally taking inspiration from the Classical tradition, hence classicism.

An inflatable is an object that can be inflated with a gas, usually with air, but hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen are also used. One of several advantages of an inflatable is that it can be stored in a small space when not inflated, since inflatables depend on the presence of a gas to maintain their size and shape. Function fulfillment per mass used compared with non-inflatable strategies is a key advantage. Stadium cushions, impact guards, vehicle wheel inner tubes, emergency air bags, and inflatable space habitats employ the inflatable principle. Inflation occurs through several strategies: pumps, ram-air, blowing, and suction.

Although the term inflatable can refer to any type of inflatable object, the term is often used in boating to specifically refer to inflatable boats.

A paddle is a handheld tool with an elongated handle and a flat, widened end (the blade) used as a lever to apply force onto the bladed end. It most commonly describes a completely handheld tool used to propel a human-powered watercraft by pushing water in a direction opposite to the direction of travel (i.e. paddling). A paddle is different from an oar (which can be similar in shape and perform the same function via rowing) – an oar is attached to the watercraft via a fulcrum.

The term "paddle" can also be used to describe objects of similar shapes or functions:

  • A rotating set of paddle boards known as a paddle wheel is used to propel a steamboat or paddle steamer.
  • In a number of racquet sports (e.g. ping-pong and paddle ball), a "paddle" or "bat" is a short, solid racket used to strike a ball.
  • A mixing paddle is a device used to stir or mix separate ingredients within a mixture.
  • A spanking paddle is used in corporal punishment, typically to forcefully hit someone (e.g. a juvenile) on the buttocks.

Sup or SUP may refer to:

  • Saskatchewan United Party, a political party in Saskatchewan
  • Supremum or sup, in mathematics, the least upper bound
  • Societas unius personae, proposed EU type of single-person company
  • SUP Media or Sup Fabrik, a Russian internet company
  • Sailors' Union of the Pacific
  • Scottish Unionist Party (1986), established in the mid-1980s
  • Simple Update Protocol, dropped proposal to speed RSS and Atom
  • Software Upgrade Protocol
  • Standup paddleboarding
  • Stanford University Press
  • Sydney University Press
  • Syracuse University Press
  • Sup squark, the supersymmetric partner of the up quark
  • <sup>, an HTML tag for superscript
  • Supangle or sup, a Turkish dessert

Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs (perfect flowers). The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and various small projects.

Tectona grandis is native to south and southeast Asia, mainly Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Sri Lanka, but is naturalised and cultivated in many countries in Africa and the Caribbean. Myanmar's teak forests account for nearly half of the world's naturally occurring teak. Molecular studies show that there are two centres of the genetic origin of teak: one in India and the other in Myanmar and Laos.

    Being a bigger guy I wanted a paddle board that would be stable and big enough to take my daughter out to enjoy the day with her dad. The rackham performed perfectly. Having the rackham allows me to accomplish a numbers of goals! Spend time with family and the options to add accessories and a have a perfect fishing set up. Looking forward to making memories!

    The Rackham is the most versatile SUP on the inflatable SUP market. Between the racks and the gear straps you can pretty much bring this board anywhere and configure it in any arrangement to suite your needs. From a calm paddle on a wake to hooking stripers in the ocean this board can do it all. With that being said, I was surprised how damaged the packaging was when it as received and I was also surprised with how fast this board started to discolor. Structurally this board is a 10/10 but it definitely needs some additional QC and care during the manufacturing and distribution process.

    First of all, this board is outstanding and I love that I bought it. Got me back on the water and excited to get back to my passion! The stability is like nothing I’ve experienced before and all the accessories make this a fun board to outfit. I do have a couple of things to offer as feedback. First, if you are planning on getting a couple of the RAC accessories then make sure you pick up an extra set of the RAC slide in receivers. It only comes with 2 and I don’t recall seeing that anywhere, my first couple trip where without the bucket RAC because I didn’t have the extra receivers. Second, the paint on the sand spear comes off basically immediately and you end up with paint chips on hands, boat, everywhere. Using this on the Texas coast so the spear is a MUST, so I recommend it but if you don’t want paint chips my suggestion is to sand it off before use. And lastly, if you are dealing with any sallow oyster reefs or sand bars pick up the 3 inch center fin. The 10 inch is way to big for shallow water and I almost dumped myself a couple times on the first trip.
