We were also impressed that for the 10ft length of the board, it weighs in at just 7.8kg which makes it incredibly easy to carry down to the water if you're heading out on a solo paddle. Feeling inspired to take to Britain's coastlines or waterways for an active adventure this autumn? You'll want to know the best inflatable paddle boards to buy right now. The Portofino 10ft inflatable stand-up paddle board kit is an eminently affordable, robust, easy-to-use board that works very well on calmer waters. A broad nose and wide, flat tail add stability, making the Portofino even more beginner-friendly, and a drop-stitched core gives it a uniform shape that helps it move efficiently over the water. As you'd expect, the bundle includes everything you need to get started SUPing, and you can even add a kayak conversion kit (sold separately) to make it more versatile. From riding small waves to touring flat waters, the Portofino 10ft SUP is an excellent all-rounder and a perfect choice for beginners and advanced paddle boarders alike.

We had our two children with us (aged 9 and 5). The board is large so we were able to have an adult paddling (on our knees!) with a child sitting on the front for a ride. It still felt very safe and stable, even with a bit of fidgeting going on and the children both loved it. We also let both children have a go by themselves, with our supervision. Our 9 year old was able to have a good go by herself but the board and paddle were probably a bit too big for our 5 year old. As they grow though, I could see both really enjoying using it. We think the Bluefin Cruise Lite is a fantastic inflatable paddleboard for beginners, as it comes with everything you need to get you going on the water and is exceptionally lightweight at 12.2 kg (approx. 26.9 lbs). This is the SUP you need if you like to take water sports equipment with you when travelling or heading out on outdoor adventurers. On calmer water the Portofino proved to be a peaceful way to get about, with a confident stance in the water and a bungee cord section at the front for storing a small bagor picnic. It glides along without constantly slapping against the surface like some less rigid boards I’ve tried.The Portofino SUP is a complete starter set, so you don’t need anything else. It includes a pump with pressure gauge (15 PSI), telescopic aluminium oar (167-210cm), removable fin, travel bag with easy-load front, coil leash and repair patches.

Quality of the accessories: A good SUP is more than just the board. We rated the paddles, pumps and carry bags of every paddleboard we tested. As well as shoddy pumps that could cause blisters or extra effort when pumping up the boards, we found paddles that were very wobbly, or easily broken. The best paddleboards that we recommend come with sturdy paddles, high quality pumps and durable carry bags. It comes with a high-quality carry bag and a Titan pump - the best pump on the market, Pumps are an overlooked item and having a good quality one makes such a difference. Versatility and advanced performance make this product stand out from the competition. It comes with an ultimate bundle of accessories and premium features that allow it to be converted into a kayak, among other things. FeaturesThey also hurt less if you fall on them and while hard boards are known for offering better performance and speed, an inflatable board has numerous advantages - including cost.
