Carrying handle: Like every board, a carrying strap is mounted in the middle of the board. Therefore, this is always positioned at the point where the SUP is nicely balanced, it also marks the ideal position to stand there about shoulder width.

You will need a more stable SUP if you want to bring a child with you or try yoga. The same goes for bigger paddlers. In conclusion, the board itself is happiest when well-weighted, ideally near to its 120kg max. The Bestway Hydro Force Fast Blast SUP gets along nicely enough for what it is and will do the intended job for me as a two person fun craft and for occasional yacht tender duties, but don’t get it if you’re a lightweight and definitely budget for a half decent paddle. It is also conveniently lightweight to allow rookies an easy time as they try to manage the board on the water.

Well-made: Even though it’s cheap, this is a durable paddle board that you can expect to use for years. It comes with a two-year warranty.

The Roc iSUP is built using premium quality materials and comes with a one-year warranty. It’s tough and hard to puncture. It only weighs 17 pounds so it’s easy to carry around too. The quality of the pump is underwhelming. First, inflatable paddle boards are generally cheaper compared to solid boards. So if you have a tight budget, an inflatable makes more sense.

You still get a bungee cord to get you attached to the board, which can hold a maximum weight of 110kg. The major grievance about the Bestway Hydro-force SUP is that the included pump is not as reliable as you may want. Some users have complained that it did not work quite well, so you might want to get an alternative option just in case.

Hydro-Force - Inflatable SUP boards by Bestway

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 pump should be able to inflate the board properly so you don’t spend all your time and energy before you get to the water. This board is stable and easy to paddle in multiple conditions. It performs like the Nautical, but has more vibrant designs. Larger paddlers should consider the Gili Air 11’6. Generally, the FBSport Inflatable Paddleboard is pretty easy to operate. It deflates and inflates effortlessly and the ankle strap provided feels comfortable to wear.Stand up paddle boarding doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. The boards discussed here are some of the best cheap paddle boards you can come across. If you are heavier and the Nautical 10’6 seems too small, I would recommend the Nautical 11’6. It has the same features as the 10’6 but it is longer and has a higher weight capacity.

I have to point out that, for me (at 192 lbs and 6’1), the Cruise 10’8 is too short. Larger paddlers should go with a longer board. I’d recommend the Nautical 11’6, Gili Air 11’6 (both mentioned in this review) – or Bluefin Cruise 12’. Wider boards are generally more stable. I’d recommend a width of 32 inches or wider for beginners, fitness enthusiasts, larger paddlers, and those who want to bring kids.While it doesn’t glide smoothly, especially under heavier riders, it works well enough to get in a good workout. As far as performance is concerned, the Nautical glides well and it is fun to paddle. It is stable enough for beginners and people who want to bring their dog or kid. When fully inflated, the Roc inflatable paddle board has a weight capacity of 300 pounds. This is impressive, given its price. And it only weighs 17.5 pounds.
