The Carta Marina CX is a high-performance touring board built for paddlers wanting glide and tracking, with ample stability as well. At approximately 12′ × 32″ and 21 lb, its cross-weave CX build yields a stiff, responsive feel with minimal flex while doing harder strokes. The uplifted nose cuts water efficiently, delivering impressive glide and maintaining solid speed and control on longer paddling journeys.

There is also a good amount of deck webbing on this board, which makes it a solid day to multi-day touring board, thanks to the board’s profile and stability. 

Despite its touring trim, the board boasts excellent primary stability, even during aggressive strokes or choppy conditions. Its diamond-groove deckpad ensures a reliable grip, and the deck bungees are ideal for securing essentials close to hand. 

The accessories in the package are well thought out, featuring a premium bag with multiple grab handles, a dual-chamber triple-action pump, and a sturdy yet lightweight carbon hybrid paddle with a tear-drop-shaped blade. 

Ideal across user levels—from beginners to advanced—thanks to its shape and dimensions, the Carta Marina CX shines on rivers, lakes, and coastal excursions. Premium accessories, thoughtful design, and stunning aesthetics highlight the package.

The Skylla CX, in collaboration with artist Drew Brophy, delivers bold style and solid on-water performance in a mid-size package (11′ × 33″ × 6″ at 19.5 lb). Its cross-woven drop-stitch construction offers strong rigidity, earning our praise for its stability and all-around paddling capabilities. 

Compared to many all-around boards, the Skylla is faster and a more stable package. It balances glide and maneuverability, allowing for quick pivot turns and confident responses on lakes and coastal waters.

Its onboard features and accessories are thoughtfully arranged, with a good amount of deck bungee spacing at the front and action mounts that can house any supported Sea Gods Accessories.

A standout for casual cruising paddlers seeking something between an all-around and touring SUP. It offers maneuverable performance, premium construction, unique design, and easy handling—perfect for intermediate users who want more flexibility in their ride. You can also add a small child or pup onboard, as the 350 lb maximum capacity gives you room for both gear and small passengers onboard.

3. Sea Gods Sol Flyer CX (Recreational Pick)

Features

• Dimensions: 11’ x 33” x 6”
• Weight: 19.5 Lbs
• Maximum Capacity: 350 Lbs
• Materials: Cross-Weave Drop Stitch 

Total Score: 8.8/10 (Accumulated of the Scores Below)

• On-Water Performance – 8.4
  • Stability 8
  • Tracking 8
  • Speed 8
  • Maneuverability 9.5
• SUP Construction – 9.5
• Board Features  – 8.5

• Accessories – 8.5
  • Backpack 9
  • Paddle 9
  • Pump 8
  • Fins 8
• Set-Up/ Take Down – 9

The Sol Flyer CX caters to beginner and casual paddlers who prioritize cruising. At 11’ × 33″, it’s compact and light (19.5 lb) with a stiff cross-weave deck, and stands out as one of the more interesting boards in its class due to how the board is set up. 

On the water, it’s highly maneuverable, scoring 9.5 for pivot and reverse sweep strokes, making it great for lakes and casual outings. However, both speed and tracking (scored ~8/10) are adequate but not ideal for long-distance performance, partly due to the paddle blade’s angle requiring longer strokes while standing upright. 

The Sol Flyer CX is perfect for short, fun paddles and stylish cruising. Its comfortable build and easy portability make it a delight for casual users. Just know it’s not designed for athletic touring or competitive paddling, but rather casual jaunts on the lake. 

Having said the above, the Sol Flyer does offer a good amount of deck webbing to add smaller accessories without worrying about them falling out of place.

4. Nixy Manhattan G4 Plus (Speed Pick)

Features

• Dimensions: 12’6” x 30” x 6”
• Weight: 23 Lbs
• Maximum Capacity: 350 Lbs
• Materials: Dual Layer Fusion with Dual Chambers and Carbon side rails

Total Score: 8.5/10 (Average of Below Numbers) 

• On-Water Performance – 8.4
  • Stability 7.5
  • Tracking  9
  • Speed  9
  • Maneuverability 8
• SUP Construction – 9
• Board Features – 8
  • Deck Pad 8.5
  • D Rings 7
  • Deck Bungees 7
  • Action Mounts: 9
  • Handles 8.5
• Accessories – 9
  • Backpack 9
  • Paddle 9
  • Pump 9
  • Fins 8
• Set-Up/ Take Down – 8.5

The Manhattan G4 Plus builds upon the original touring-focused Manhattan with a thicker profile for added stability for taller users. It scores high for speed (9), tracking (9), and rigidity (9) on 12’6″ × 30″ frame, weighing around 23 lbs.

It won’t be the most steady board due to its narrow profile, but it is an ideal choice if you want to level up to your next paddle board, knowing you want a fast touring board for speedier paddling excursions and possibly some SUP training. 

This board is ideal for touring paddlers seeking agile responsiveness and athletic paddling excursions. Four carbon stringers enhance durability and stiffness, and the updated G4 Plus model makes it more stable for taller/ bigger paddlers without sacrificing performance.

While excellent for touring, some users might find its narrower width less forgiving. Adding deck bungees or a touring fin would round out the board’s potential.

5. Gili Komodo 10’6″ (Yoga Pick)

Features

• Dimensions: 11’ X 32” X 6”
• Materials: Double Layer PVC construction with Carbon rails
• Weight: 24 Lbs
• Maximum Capacity: 340 Lbs

Total Score: 8.1 (Average of Below Numbers)

• On-Water Performance – 8.5
  • Stability 8.5
  • Tracking 8.5
  • Speed 7.5
  • Maneuverability 8.5
• SUP Construction – 8
• Board Features – 8
  • Deck Pad 9
  • D Rings 8
  • Deck Bungees 8
  • Action Mounts: 7.5
  • Handles 7.5
• Accessories – 8
  • Backpack 8
  • Paddle 7.5
  • Pump 7
  • Fins 8.5
• Set-Up/ Take Down – 8

The Gili Komodo delivers all-around fun and hybrid versatility with strong tracking (8.5), stability (8.5), and maneuverability (8.5) as an 11′ × 33″ package thanks to the board’s proprietary fin set-up. This fin set-up allows you to adjust the maneuverability, tracking, speed, and, to a lesser degree, stability by adding or removing the side fins. In this case, we usually keep all 3 on. 

It offers a solid accessories package that includes a solid carbon hybrid paddle, backpack, and supports pet-friendly adventures with a full deck pad that covers the entire board. 

The board is perfect for beginners to mid-level paddlers seeking versatility across yoga, casual rides, dog outings, or light touring. However, I would limit this board to purely recreational paddling endeavors.

Features

  • Paddle 8.5
  • Pump 9
  • Fins 8.5
• Set-Up/ Take Down – 8

The Waterwalker 132 is built for ultimate primary stability and wide usability for many different types of paddlers. Measuring 11′ × 32″ and sporting a dual-texture deck pad, it excels in being a solid all-around board for most level paddlers. Its maximum capacity rating also allows you to bring extra gear or small passengers along for the ride. 

Robust tracking, good speed, and a broad design tailored for beginners and adventurers alike make it excellent for relaxed outings. It also supports yoga and SUP fishing for a solo paddler or a paddler who has a smaller passenger onboard. 

The board also comes with well-thought-out accessories, including a pouch that holds the fins, leash, and all the odds and ends that can so easily get lost if put in other spots of the bag. 

If comfort, stability, and on-water confidence from a range of different paddling skill sets are your priorities, the Waterwalker 132 is a top-performing and trustworthy option.

7. Maddle Free Spirit (Budget Pick)

Features

• Dimensions: 10’6” X 32” X 6”
• Materials: MSL Dual Fusion woven drop stitch 
• Weight: 13 Lbs
• Maximum Capacity: 350 Lbs

Total Score: 7.75 (Average of Below Numbers)

• On-Water Performance – 8
  • Stability 8
  • Tracking  8.5
  • Speed 7.5
  • Maneuverability 8
• SUP Construction – 7.5
• Board Features  – 7.6

  • Handles 8
• Accessories – 7.1
  • Backpack 7.5
  • Paddle 6
  • Pump 7
  • Fins 8
• Set-Up/ Take Down – 8.5

The Maddle Free Spirit, priced as a solid beginner-to-mid-range option, surprised testers with its calm-around-water stability and tracking, which is always a good thing when testing a budget SUP. 

Its accessory kit—a kayak seat with backrest, shoulder strap, paddle, pump, backpack, and repair tools delivers what you need to get onto the water. The board is well-suited to casual paddling, touring, and comfortable seated use for casual paddlers and less-than-sure-footed individuals. 

Not suited for high-speed touring or aggressive wave runs (the paddle actually snapped when I was putting harder strokes in), but for those seeking affordability and reliable performance, it represents a compelling entry-level board that’s ideal for most skill levels.
