Product Information

It’s stable enough for a beginner, and going for an 11’ rather than a 10’ board offers extra speed and glide. This makes it 20% lighter than competitors’ inflatable SUPs of the same size, allowing for easy carrying and transportation. There’s also a twin set of bungies — one on the nose and another on the tail of the board — for stowing a water bottle or other gear. Choosing a versatile board that’s designed to perform in flat and choppier water offers room to grow and hone your skills before needing to upgrade to a new board. The top drawstring opening of the bag is sufficient to load and unload the folded board and accessory equipment but is not nearly as convenient as a full-zip bag with a much wider opening.

The boards below are the best, but other good brands to check out are Hatha, Fatstick, Fanatic, Quroc and Starboard. Since the pump and board both have universal attachment points, it's easy enough to swap out a different pump or hose apparatus to inflate to the desired pressure. The hull is flatter than most kayaks, but deeper than a typical paddle board, which helps anglers navigate shallow waters and improves tracking. In either bright blue or coral, this is the choice for parents who want to encourage their children to join them on their SUP adventures.

When choosing the right inflatable paddle board for your needs, it’s important to consider your height and especially your weight.

Despite the fact that most inflatable paddle boards on the market are 6 inches thick, 5 inches is the ideal thickness for a beginner paddle board for all-around use. Considering that the FunWater is meant to be an entry-level recreational paddle board, we think it does a nice job of balancing all-around performance that will suit the needs of most recreational paddlers.Overall, the SereneLife paddle board is an excellent choice for beginners looking for a large, budget-friendly paddle board to get started with. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly paddle board for beginners that comes with everything you need, the FunWater Tiki Cruiser is for you. The package comes with a carrying case, a small dry bag for your phone or wallet, 3 removable fins, a pump, a repair kit, an ankle leash, and a shoulder strap.
