If the Air came with a fiberglass paddle (like the Nautical), then I would have really struggled with figuring out which paddle board to put in my top spot on this review! The board only weighs 20 pounds. Deflate it, put it in the bag and you can travel wherever you want with your inflatable paddle board.

Leash: The included safety leash is a coiled leash. This is already curled on the board and expands to the full length only in a fall into the water. Quality paddle boards are built with military-grade PVC and usually have two or more layers. This ensures that they are rigid when fully inflated. They can hold a lot of weight and you won’t have to worry about flexing.

The Roc stand up paddle board comes with a front bungee storage area and a center carry handle. As far as features go, it is pretty basic. But it is still one of the best cheap SUPs you can get. What I Like This paddle board has seven handles; three carry handles and four safety handles. The carry handles make handling the board easy. The safety handles are great for kids to hold on to. I love the front and rear bungee cargo storage which allows you to bring enough gear for a day of paddling. Lightweight: The Aqua 11 may be tough and rigid but you won’t have a problem carrying it around as it’s only 20 pounds. The paddle is further equipped with several handles that simplify the process of carrying it from one side of the ocean to another. Another exciting feature on this board is that it can transform into a kayak in no time. Any time you feel like you’ve had enough of paddle boarding, you can always switch to kayaking for uninterrupted fun in the water. It transforms into a kayak easily Great for both beginners and experienced users Attachable seat for kids Multiple extra accessories included Quite pricey Better for big SUPers: This inflatable stand up paddle board is bigger than the Nautical 10’6 and it can hold more weight, so it’s great for larger paddlers.

The inflatable paddle board is wide at 33 inches. This is one of the things that make it versatile. It is stable enough for most SUP activities. While it doesn’t glide smoothly, especially under heavier riders, it works well enough to get in a good workout and spend some quality time on the water. Just don’t plan on trying to cover long distances on it.Kayak seat: With the included kayak seat, you can turn your SUP board into a SUP kayak and thus expand the application possibilities. The handling is very easy and the assembly succeeds on every board in a short time. Fins: The three fixed fins provide good straight-line stability and maneuverability. Personally, we are not big fans of these fixed fins. When rolling up they are always a little in the way and bend a little. On the other hand, you can never forget them and save the assembly, so getting ready is even easier. Accessories in the Hydro-Force Oceana starter set
