Inflatable stand up paddle board reviews, comparisons and paddling adventures
NRS has two inflatable SUP’s designed specifically for surf… the smaller Tyrant 4 and the larger Czar 6. The Czar is an extra 6” long and an extra 2” thick making it very stable and rigid and ideal for a larger rider. It is best suited for surfing, moving rivers and ocean waves. Unfortunately we […]
We have two wonderful dogs in our family (update – we now have 3!) each with their own unique personality. You have likely seen the pictures of our little guy Seth testing out all the boards with us. He has been stand-up paddling with me since the day I got him so he is fully […]
The Aquaglide Cascade is an extremely portable and stable touring inflatable SUP. Although not considered to be a super performer we found that it paddled well, tracked straight, was easy enough to maneuver and overall felt very stable and secure even on ocean waves. What it lacked in performance it made up for in stability. […]
A board leash is a must safety accessory if you get into stand-up paddle boarding. One end attaches just above your ankle and the other end attaches to the D-ring at the back end of your SUP. If you fall into the water, the leash ensures that you don’t lose your board. The last thing […]

However I got to review the Airhead SUP Deluxe Coast Guard Kit and found that the life vest included in this kit was extremely comfortable while stand-up paddling. I found the armholes to be […]
This board is about as light and portable as they come. Weighing only 17 lbs. it is extremely easy to carry anywhere you want to go. It is basic in design but stable and fun to paddle. It is great for cruising around on lakes, ocean bays or rivers. The best part about the 11’ […]
The Elite Race is an ISUP of a different class. This board can compete against hard-board designs in speed and performance. It is lean and strong and extremely fun to paddle. If you are new to stand-up paddling it might take a little time to get used to the sleek design of this board. However […]
The 2015 Red Sport inflatable SUP has a streamlined design and functional features that makes this board an awesome addition to the inflatable SUP world. I love that Red has added an 11’ ISUP to their lineup. The size and shape of this board make it an ideal choice for anyone with a small to […]
