In a world where things are constantly changing and uncertainty has become our anthem, it’s nice to have some stability. Inflatable standup paddleboards offer just that. While many businesses and restaurants have been closing during these trying times, the SUP industry is booming and inflatables are flying off the shelves. Although many inflatables feature similar dimensions and construction technologies, there are a number of unique boards on the market. Here, we’ve rounded up six of our favorite inflatable standup paddleboards, with something for everyone—regardless of where you paddle.
Starboard Vision Inflatable ($1,399) – Touring
Starboard Vision Inflatable Courtesy of Starboard One of the biggest benefits of inflatables is that they easily allow you to explore and travel the world. Starboard’s Vision Inflatable takes things a step further by giving you a glimpse of what lies beneath the surface. The board features the world’s first underwater viewing window, a full EVA deck pad, nose and tail bungee tie-down straps, and a deluxe single chamber construction. Measuring 11’2” x 38”, the board is incredibly stable and well-suited for exploring with the entire family in tow. Red Paddle Co. Whip MSL ($1,199) – Surfing
Red Paddle Co. Whip MSL Courtesy of Red Paddle Co. In an effort to combat the hassle of lugging around an oversized standup paddleboard on surf trips, Red Paddle Co. created an inflatable SUP designed specifically for surfing. Although surfing on an inflatable may seem counterintuitive, the 8’10” x 29” Whip is rigid, durable, and stable. Standout features include a narrow tail, an embossed deck pad, a rounded nose, and Red Paddle Co.’s patented RSS batten system––which makes the board incredibly rigid. The board includes a double chamber pump, an adjustable fin, and an all terrain backpack, complete with padded straps and integrated wheels.

NSP O2 Race FSL Courtesy of NSP Storing, transporting, and traveling with a raceboard can be a challenge. Although hard boards are still the fastest option out there, NSP’s O2 Race FSL holds its own. Featuring double layer rail construction with double sealing rail bands, a low-profile Air7 V3 fin box, and a thermoformed EVA deck pad––the board is sleek, stable, and fast. Available in four size options, the Race FS includes a 9” center race. Body Glove Performer 11 ($999) – All-Around
Body Glove Performer 11 Courtesy of Body Glove The Body Glove Performer is a one-size-fits-all inflatable that’s equipped for any and every adventure. Made from heavy-duty PVC and measuring in at 11’ x 34”, the board is super stable, making it well-suited for paddling with pets, practicing yoga, fishing, or a casual paddle through the harbor. The board features 30% more surface area on the fixed fins, triple-layered side rails, upgraded carbon-reinforced stringers, and a 13.7 cm/5.4” drop-stitch––resulting in an overall lighter board. Included in the package are a three-piece adjustable paddle, dual-action hand pump, ankle coil leash, phone dry bag, repair kit, and a travel backpack.
