While it weighs only 19 pounds, it supports 275 pounds and if you are experienced you can exceed that. So if you want to bring along a passenger or plenty of gear you should be able to do that. It is pretty close to the performance of the epoxy SUPs on our list. It is a bit narrower at 30″ so it is faster than the typical 32″-33″ SUPs. What is nice about this SUP is that it is a complete package meaning it comes with everything you need for a day on the water. Included is an inflation pump, carry backpack, lightweight fiberglass SUP paddle and leash.

The paddle breaks down into 3 pieces and is fully adjustable. It has deck bungee cords in the front for storing gear although I would have liked to see it in the rear as well. Everything fits in the backpack for easy transport and storage. The deck has a thick padding for all day comfort. Available in three colors you should be able to find one you like and suites your style!

Inflatable Paddle Boards

This classically designed paddle board is made of Polyethylene plastic – the most common type of durable plastic – and is a strong and long-lasting board. It is a standard length board at 10’4″ and 34″ wide for good stability for riders of all skill levels. It has deck bungee cords in the front of the board for bringing along a cooler or other gear for a day on the water.

One notable thing is they include not only an adjustable paddle but also a storage bag. It is the only one I am aware of that comes with a storage bag. The built-in ergonomic handle with recesses makes carrying it much easier and more comfortable to carry board to water. The Stand Up Paddle Board is an excellent paddle board for kids as well and is a top contender for the best SUP.

This is a pretty standard all around stand up paddle board with a soft top deck. That gives you plenty of traction and forgiving if you happen to fall on it. This board is most suitable for flat water and small waves like in a lake or close to the shore in the ocean. With its drop stitch PVC construction, it is stable and durable, making it great for everyone in your family. It is slightly wider at 33″ wide with a non-slip deck. At 10 feet long, there is even room for Fido or Fluffy to hop on board for a ride.

SUP boarding with the family dog can be a great way to get the whole family involved in family outings. SUP paddle board also includes a 3-piece adjustable paddle, a 9” center fin for good tracking, carry backpack, leash and inflation pump. Besides, SUP thoughfully also included a a dry bag for valuables to store under the deck rigging. The SUP is probably the best all around stand up paddle board. The only knock is the carry backpack does not have wheels. You can pull it behind you like a suitcase.
