iRocker BLACKFIN Model XL iSUP

The BLACKFIN Model XL iSUP is a beast! Despite its larger size (11’6×34″ wide), its performance is unmatched in many categories. It’s the ideal board for adults or larger paddle boarders, or for those who might be paddling with gear or kids on board. This paddleboard is an ideal choice for beginners, intermediates, and experts as it is forgiving but performance-driven. The BLACKFIN is super sturdy, well-built, and multi-functional. Its high weight capacity ensures users can load up with as much gear as they can fit (485 lbs max weight). Undeterred by its size and thickness, the BLACKFIN is surprisingly fast; cutting through the water like a big butter knife.

This iSUP is perfect for relaxing yoga sessions, beach days, and casual paddle excursions. It offers durability and simplicity, which are ideal for newer riders.

The Bote Wulf Aero is an entry-level paddle board at an affordable price. Its lightweight and stable design offers forgiveness for beginners, making this board the perfect choice for first-time paddlers or kids. The weight limit on this board is 250 pounds; therefore, it is really made for average-sized adults and kids. This board is fashioned for the average paddle boarding experience. Since it can’t accommodate much more than just the rider, it is perfect for shorter rides on calm waters.

What makes this board stand out among the rest is its price. At $499, this board has the best starting price by far.

The Sea Gods Skylla is an awesome hybrid paddle board. This iSUP is ideal for long touring trips and anything you can imagine. Its hybrid design makes it incredibly quick in the water yet easy to turn. At 11’ x 33” the Skylla Cross has a strange shape. With a pointed nose, the board remains wide all the way to the tail. This makes the board more stable, forgiving, and maneuverable. At just 19 lbs, this is a very lightweight iSUP. Plus, its design is absolutely stunning.

With a starting price of $899, this is not the most affordable iSUP out there. That said, it might be the best one, performance-wise, on this list.
