Inflatable stand up paddle board reviews, comparisons and paddling adventures
The airSUP company is based out of Japan and has an impressive line-up of inflatable stand-up paddleboards. They ship worldwide and their boards are popular in Japan, Australia and the USA.

If you’re looking for a smaller inflatable SUP for surfing or playing in waves, the 7’11” Hala Peño is a great option. This board is a lot of fun, super responsive, nicely designed and very well made. The Peño is a wave rider but also has the option of adding a large fin for better […]
The Allwater was designed to paddle well on a variety of different waters. It is extremely rigid and unique in that it has a Rocker Stiffening System. This system was designed to make this board extra rigid, which provides for more control, better performance and increased stability. Although this inflatable SUP is not that big, […]
It is tough to design an all-around board that excels in most water conditions. The Red 10’6” Ride succeeds in many ways. It is designed for cruising and playing in the surf. Although not super stable it is agile and quick to turn and maneuver. It’s not my personal choice for flat water paddling but […]

Note: My personal pictures below are of the older Whopper model. The 2018 model has been redesigned. This is an awesome board. I had the opportunity to review it, got to keep it for a little while, tried it out several times on different water ways and at the end I can honestly say that […]
SUP Yoga has become extremely popular in the last few years. Although I am not a regular yoga student myself I have seen many people both individually and in classes doing yoga on their boards out on the water. It’s not only a beautiful and peaceful way to exercise but doing yoga on a paddle […]
Advanced Elements is known for their popular inflatable kayaks and they have been in business for quite a long time. They now have a few ISUP’s added to their product list as well. The Advanced Elements Fishbone is their most recent board that I got to test out. It is a cool inflatable SUP that has […]
This past month I was able to test out the 11’ Saturn inflatable stand-up paddle board. I like this board. It has all the basics covered while still being quite affordable. The length is ideal for a wide variety of people. The 6” thickness makes it very stable. The large removable skeg helps with tracking […]
