Inflatable stand up paddle board reviews, comparisons and paddling adventures
* Click here for my latest review of the Gili Adventure. I had a lot of fun testing out the new Gili 11’ Adventure inflatable stand up paddle board. This board is very stable, easy to paddle and ideal for beginners. I found it just as easy to paddle on flat water lakes as on […]
Is it a kayak or a paddle board? Well it’s called an inflatable kayak but truth is that it’s both! Many inflatable SUP’s come with a seat so that you can paddle it sitting down kayak style. However Body Glove has taken it a couple steps further with the Glide 11 and have designed an […]
The Dynamo has become my go-to board for those times when I want to cover more distance with more speed. I find the Dynamo to be one of those all around functional and convenient touring boards that is so easy to love. It has a nice tapered nose, two lengths to choose from, a 30” […]
The Hero SUP Spark is a really cool board for a few reasons: 1. It is fun to paddle, extremely portable and quite versatile. 2. It comes with a high-end accessory package all included in the price. 3. The length to width ratio (10’5″ x 31″) makes it very responsive, you will find it takes […]

The Gili Air is a new board to hit the market and we really like the look, design and features that this ISUP offers. It is a perfect starter board that won’t break the bank. It is ideal for light touring, cruising on flat water lakes or rivers and it plows through chop and wake […]
The Red Paddle Co inflatable SUP’s have changed a lot over the years and I was excited to see and test out their new updated 2018 lineup of boards. The Voyager is a larger touring board that replaced their Explorer ISUP that I reviewed a few years back. At 12’6” long and 32” wide the […]
Note: This review is for the 2017 Expedition. Click here for the latest 2019 review for the Thurso Surf Expedition. The Expedition is a touring board that moves swiftly and is great for longer straight paddles where you want to cover more distance efficiently. It is well made with durable double layer construction, looks great […]
Have you been stand-up paddling for a while and would like a board that offers more speed, more thrill and more of a challenge? The Needlenose 126 Racer does just that. This board is so much fun but it is definitely not for a beginner. It is a racing board designed specifically for speed and […]
