Inflatable stand up paddle board reviews, comparisons and paddling adventures
I like the Wakooda boards for a few of reasons. They tend to be light weight and super portable, versatile and very well priced. The Wakooda LA 132 (LA = light activity) is the latest model I have reviewed and it shines in providing great value for an affordable price. This isn’t a performance board however […]
The Pace is Airhead’s performance inflatable SUP and it comes in two different size options, 10’6” long or 12’6” long. I got to review the 10’6” Pace. The first thing that stands out for me with this ISUP is the bright colors. It is a nice looking board and is very visible in the water. Airhead […]
* Update: There is a new version of the Naish Crossover inflatable paddle board that can be found at Naish.com. This board is designed for both windsurfing and stand-up paddling. I am not a windsurfer and I didn’t get to attach a windsurfing rig to test out the sailing performance. However I did spend a […]
Designed for fitness and yoga in mind this board offers great stability while still providing a versatile platform for cruising around on just about any type of water. I really enjoyed paddling the Fit. It is not a real performance board. However it is stable in waves and chop and glides nicely on flat water. […]
Tantrum Tow Ropes has a few well priced, nicely designed inflatable SUP’s on the market. This past month I really enjoyed testing out their 12’6″ touring model. It is designed to glide quickly through the water while still providing decent stability and rigidity with the 6” thickness that this ISUP offers. I really like the […]
The Mana Air is a very stable and super fun inflatable stand-up paddle board. I was lucky enough to be able to paddle this board in Maui this year and really enjoyed cruising around in ocean bays and riding waves. This board is kind of short and squat and you would think it might be […]
I had heard a lot of good things about the Astro Blend inflatable SUP and was super psyched to try it out. I had several emails from people who had tested different boards and ended up buying the Blend and absolutely loved it. They gave it rave reviews and I couldn’t wait to try one. […]
While in Maui this year I was fortunate enough to meet up with the guys at the Naish Maui Pro Center and try out a few of their boards. The Glide Air was top of my list of of the Naish inflatable stand-up paddle boards that I wanted to try so I was really excited […]
This was my first time trying an Earth River inflatable SUP and I was very impressed. It feels very rugged and durable when inflated and performs well. The size of this ISUP makes it quite versatile, very responsive, easy to paddle and overall just a lot of fun. SPECS Material: High grade 1000 denier drop […]
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 […]
