Great review! The only board available in Canada right now is of course the Thurso brand :). Getting 2 beginner boards. What do you think of the Max Multi-Purpose vs the Waterwalker All-Around 132? Reply

Very bad experience with Athleteshop and with Aquaparx . Paddle surf has manufacturing defect. They give no solution. I’m trying to decide between the Gili Air and the Thurso 126! Size is the same, but Thurso weighs quite a bit more. I’m 5’2″, 130 lbs. Lighter is easier to carry, but is there any advantage I’m missing if I don’t buy a heavier board? Reply Also do you know if the valves are the same on all the boards between the 2020 and 2019 editions? The Prodigy doesn’t come with a pump (even though now you’ve got me thinking about the 10′ 6″ and 10′ boards) and it would be great to know that the better 2020 pump could be used on the Prodigy or the 2019 Waterwalker.The Highpi Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board has become an instant favorite among watersport lovers. The ideal length and width of the model provide a stable learning solution for amateurs while making sure that the experienced also enjoy their paddleboard experience. It might seem controversial to get a paddleboard with a motor, but these machines are incredibly useful during long stretches of SUP tours. Cruising next onto the list is the Atoll 11’. At 21 lbs, it’s a zippy board on the water, and is a great option for someone looking for a solid all around board that is ultra light but still stable. Boards described as entry-level, or all-rounders are the best ones for anyone just wanting to get on the water and have fun. That’s because they focus on stability and durability. You want to feel stable, and a more rigid board will help you to balance. Not sure this is possible – but we’d love to find a way to get the scotty mounts moved more towards the outside rails

Thurso chose to make their boards with a dual-layer PVC that’s both durable and has a high weight capacity. They also add an extra layer of PVC + carbon fiber to the rails for better protection and stiffness. Finally, Thurso kept with their well-known style of a wooden grain print but have a few different color options that we just love. Yes, it does come for a price, but trust me, it would be worth buying it for this year, especially if you want to take your partner or small child, or a dog along with you for a ride.
Both and bow and stern of the SUP is made narrow, sleek, and sharper that not only enhances its speed but allows paddlers to take it any place on the water. Ultra light weight Portable SUP】5 minutes for inflate and deflate. Highpi paddle boards has a weight of only 20 pounds—that’s 20% lighter than competitors’ inflatable sup of the same size.It is very easy to carry and transport. The average inflation time of the board is less than 10 minutes and deflation time is 8 minutes. However, you can speed up this process by using electric paddle board pump and set the entire SUP in less than 5 minutes. What’s greater about this board is its 10-year cutting edge technology and professional designers from Europe and Japanese experts have made and constructed it.
Highpi 11′ Paddle Board Review (2022 Opinion) Expert Highpi 11′ Paddle Board Review (2022 Opinion)
I am a 6’1″ and 270 pounds 50 year old male (looking to drop that down to 220 by becoming more active). I rented a 10’8″ hard BIC board last week and I don’t think it held my weight well as my feet were always wet. It was also very difficult for me to stay standing (not stable). I am a beginner in any board sports, but an avid cyclist and swimmer. I’ve only been on SUP’s a few times(rentals), but have done a lot of kayaking(jncluding whitewater), mountain biking, etc., so don’t expect any real issues getting used to it. Whichever friend I bring a long(on the second board) will likely be a beginner. So a board that is the same size and shape can feel very different depending on how it’s made. There’s quite a difference between a single layer PVC board and one that is quad layered or uses some type of fusion. The more layers or the stiff result of fusion creates a fair bit of rigidity. So perhaps that’s what has been going on for you when trying different boards 🙂 So glad that you’re loving the area and paddling. I’m just going to rattle off a list of a few of my favorites, but let me know if you have any questions on any of them/would like any extra insight. It does seem like you’re off to a great start though; Quail Creek is beautiful and it’s tons of fun to paddle around the island at Sand Hollow. An inflatable paddle board has the best durability and stability which is the most important consideration for beginners. More skilled paddle boarders will want to consider speed and agility.You wouldn’t notice a huge difference in speed in the 10′ to 11′, the more noticeable thing is the stability difference. I can feel the difference in speed between the two but I’m not sure if that’s because I was looking for it or if it’s noticeable haha! The Sport is a bit more to handle and not as versatile as the All-Around and Isle Explorer. I would opt for one or the other over the Sport. Lots and lots of great information in your “SUP” board comparison piece. However, I know absolute zero about any of the info mentioned! Like what does “SUP” even stand for?!?! LOL!

The board has been designed by taking expert opinion into consideration which makes it suited for both newbies and experts. A good performing, well-built, lightweight & ultra compact SUP. Great for travel and hiking, and everyday paddling I’m 5’11” and about 175/180 lbs. I’m basically a beginner paddleboarder, but am generally athletic and coordinated. I used to whitewater kayak when I was younger and still kayak a lot now(no real whitewater around where I live though).Skill level – an experienced SUP boarder will be much better on boards with lighter weight capacity and might find they enjoy how such boards are more maneuverable and playful.
