A Paddleboard is not a Sailboard as defined in RSA 270:30-c and therefore must carry a PFD. There are a number of Type III PFD options out there that would be both comfortable and legal. Consider a inflatable vest or belt pack (must be worn to meet the requirement).
A Paddleboard is a "boat" under RSA 270-D:1:1 "Boat means every description of watercraft other than seaplanes, capable of being used or used as a means of transportation on the water . . ."
