Inflatable stand up paddle board reviews, comparisons and paddling adventures
The stand-up paddle board world is growing and expanding. With that growth we are seeing some really innovative new products on the market providing stand-up paddlers with some great options. One of the coolest products I’ve seen lately is the ElectraFin designed by Seattle based company Current Drives. The ElectraFin is an electric conversion kit […]
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 […]
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. […]

They have one highly durable inflatable SUP called the Current Drives Huey that I got to test out and review. However besides their Huey ISUP they also manufacture an ElectraFin that can […]
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 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 average […]
