The Best Inflatable SUP Boards of 2019

5. FunWater Inflatable Ultra-Light SUP for All Skill Levels

The FunWater board is the best budget inflatable paddle board that we have reviewed. It has everything a SUP in this price range needs (sturdiness, stability, and mobility) and a little extra. This board is lightweight, but it is also incredibly stable thanks to the drop-stitch materials in its construction. Drop-stitch is a high-tech material used in rescue lifting bags, floating docks and even plane wings that consists of zillions of fine plastic threads that make the board rock solid when inflated.

So, if you are looking for a great beginner, all-skill level stand up paddle board that won’t break the bank and can be easily carried around in a backpack, the FunWater iSUP is for you.

The Gili Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board is a quality inflatable SUP that feels and performs like a hardboard when fully inflated. One of its best features is the XL non-slip surface that goes way from side to side for extra stability of you and your kid or furry friend. The board comes with many high-quality accessories like a 3-piece travel paddle that floats when dropped in the water, a leash, a very roomy travel backpack for the SUP, and a two-stage manual pump.

This board is rock solid, lightweight, and one of the best all-around inflatable SUP boards that we have reviewed so far. It is well-constructed, heavy duty, super stable on flat water, and it looks greater than it does in the picture. For this price point, we believe, this is one of the best go-anywhere SUPs that you can get. Plus, if you aren’t satisfied, Gili has a 60-day no-question-asked return policy.

At 33” wide, the iROCKER Cruiser is the widest model in its line, making it ideal for beginners or intermediate users looking for a fun but stable ride. Unlike the cheaper models we reviewed before, the iRocker comes with mounting D-rings, which enables it to fit an optional kayak seat. This board is very easy to balance, sturdy, and really great for 2 riders.

What’s more, with its dual fusion heat welded seams and multiple layers of military-grade PVC, the iRocker cruiser has been built for durability. The seams have been tested for pressure reliability and fared excellently. In short, this board performs just like a hard board thanks to the reinforced surface and drop-stitch internal core. Also, the provided paddle is made of fiberglass, which makes it lighter than aluminum alternatives, and can double as a kayak paddle if you buy a second kayak blade separately.

The SereneLife Inflatable is a well-made and sleek looking inflatable stand up board that can easily be taken for a wooden board. It is a great quality board, wide enough for both beginners and the advanced. Every member of the family will simply love it. This board was designed with stability in mind and it is ideal for oceans, rivers, and lakes.

The Cruiser Deluxe is Atoll’s flagship inflatable stand up paddle board aka the ‘Hard Board Mimicker,’ which combines the benefits of both a hardboard (rigidity) and an iSUP (40% lighter than similar models in this price range thanks to the fusion light built). In out opinion this Atoll cruiser is the perfect all-round paddle board. The board comes with a dual-action hand pump that inflates the board I less than 5 minutes so that you have more time to enjoy the waves.

Also, the dual action pump rapidly sucks out all the air in the paddle board for quick roll-up and storage. Thanks to the reinforced PVC body and drop-stitch core, this is a very durable and stable board that is well worth the investment. Click here for a full review of this outstanding board!
