Inflatable SUP Recommendations
Looking for some recommendations on inflatable SUP's
We already own 2 of the RED brand regular boards. We are doing way more traveling with the boat this upcoming season and carry 4 wakeboards and 2 surfboards , so the regular SUPs just aren't an option. Recently came across the Radar ISUP http://www.ronixwakestore.com/radar-...table-sup.html The Connelly ISUP Tahoe http://www.h2oproshop.com/65161126.html Drifter http://www.leisurepro.com/p-consd/co...P-adType%5EPLA Was leaning towards the Radar. Anbody have any other recommendations? I understand performance wise you're not going to come close to the regular , but the inflatable is more for just tooling around the swim areas when we float around and take a riding break. Also be used by the kiddos |
You did not mention Tower SUP, but I have 2 of them and think they are great. I have not tried the others, so really can't compare. I was surprised at how rigid an inflatable board can be.

Board works MCIT are great. Super stable. Can run rivers with them if you want.

No question...Slingshot.
The durability and overall design has improved a ton. http://www.slingshotsports.com/Sup-Products |
If you are looking for one to just play around with might as well go Costco, best return policy in the world.

I went with the tower one recommended above. It was rated number 1 in a few of the ISUP ratings. Also came across this one as well.
http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Wave-Spor.../dp/B00QX2M6U6 Found it for almost 50% off on eBay Too cheap not to try. my oldest daughter really liked the kayak option because she's been begging for one. Also rated a top 5 regarding ISUP's. |
Swatguy watch the thickness on the older design inflatables, if they're only 4" thick they'll be OK for lighter people, but when I rented one (190LBS) i could feel it flexing like crazy underfoot. Much less stiff than the 6".

That was actually my thinking on why I went with one of each. Figured me n the wife would prefer the thicker Tower and the girls would like the Blue Wave/z ray We only had then out 5 times towards end of the year. Rolling around the swim area/cove spot both were hard to tell apart. However when went back to our home lake and were attempting to paddle across the lake.,,, definitely noticeable the Blue wave didn't glide nearly as much. I am only at 6ft 180 so felt I could still be ok |
I have a Naish Mana inflatable SUP. Super solid and firm. Designed with Surf and ocean use in mind.
