Best inflatable stand up paddle board reviews
ResponsibilityPosted by Maxine Smiles -Cooke
Last September, we launched our new Compact 9’6” - the world’s most transportable inflatable SUP! This full-sized paddle board folds down to half the size of a conventional inflatable SUP meaning it has never been easier to travel the world in search of those hidden waterways.
From outdoor urbanites heading out on weekend escapes to wanderlust paddlers wanting ultimate convenience and transportability, without compromising on performance - it has never been easier to fold, unroll and go on a SUP adventure.
Since its launch, we have received some exciting feedback from our SUP community and shared some of their best inflatable stand up paddle board reviews. And we couldn’t wait to hear your thoughts and opinions on our latest innovation…

Watch the guys from SUP Boarder head off for a hike & SUP adventure, followed up with their full review back in the studio…
“The most ground-breaking inflatable SUP we’ll see in 2019! It's not only compact, it's light and paddles well too.” - Ruben Ellis, SUP Boarder
"The Compact Bag is a backpack that you can truly travel with, you can now conceivably take your SUP with you wherever you want. The whole package is so much more transportable, the opportunities to SUP are endless, it opens up loads of travelling potential – it's a really exciting concept!" - Will, SUP Boarder

SUP International - Read the Full Compact 9'6" Review
"The Compact is likely the most polished, well thought-out inflatable package we've tested yet. It really does take up about half the space of a regular iSUP when stowed; in scenarios like yachts, family cars packaged for holidays, airplanes and keeping your kit at work, this is the difference between having a board and going paddling, and not. Performance wise it's a real treat; a light, nimble, go-anywhere do-anything paddling platform."
