1. Sea Gods Diatom Ten6 (Beginner Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 10’6” x 34” x 6”
- Weight: 20 Lbs
- Maximum Capacity: 350 Lbs
- Materials Used: Cross-Weave Drop Stitch Materials with Fusion
The Sea Gods Diatom Ten6 is rated in the top 3 as the Best SUP Yoga board and is a great recreational pick for paddlers of all skill sets, but especially newer paddlers. New paddlers will have no problem getting started with this board as it’s a very stable SUP. Its wide, matted deckpad mimics the yoga mat, which means you can take your SUP yoga practice to the water!
The board also offered great maneuverability metrics when I tested it as part of the Sea Gods paddle clinic hosted by David Dreves. It was probably my favorite board to practice more tricky moves, such as pivot turns in the sheltered waters by the pier.
The package comes complete with a well-made bag that has 6 different heavy-duty handles complete with roller wheels, a carbon hybrid paddle, which is very sturdy and lightweight. It also comes with a dual-chamber triple-action pump, which can be used to increase the initial airflow into the board. Also comes with a set-up mat, which is very handy when you are taking the board down and you don’t want it to get dirty.
Pros:
- Very stable in the water
- A fantastic beginner pick
- Comes with good-quality accessories
- Board offers great maneuverability metrics
- A very unique design
Cons:
- Tracking could be better
- Is pricey
2. Nixy Monterey 11’6” (Touring Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 11’6” x 34” x 6”
- Weight: 25 Lbs
- Maximum Capacity: 400 Lbs
- Materials Used: Dual Layer Fusion with Welded Seams
Total Score: 8.8 (Average of Below Numbers)
- On-Water Performance – 8.4
- Stability 9

- Set-Up/ Take Down – 8
The Nixy Monterey stands out as an expedition craft built for recreational and touring excursions. At 11′6″ long and 34″ wide. It’s ideal for long-distance touring or carrying some gear, even supporting an adult and a small pet or child onboard.
With a solid 8.8 total score, it scores high in construction (9.5), board features (9.2), and accessories (9.1), thanks to its reams of deck bungees, action mounts, and welded seams that make the board a rigid package capable of going longer distances. On-water, it maintains strong performance: stability 9, tracking 8.5, speed 8, maneuverability 8 ratings respectively.
The ample deck space and storage bungees cater for longer excursions, making it fishing and expedition-ready. While you can have another smaller passenger onboard, I did feel that there was some difficulty having 2 full-grown passengers onboard. The board can feel a bit more unstable due to its narrower shape.
As a robust adventure board, it weighs more (25 lb) and folds bulkily, making travel packing slightly more cumbersome. While I do love the way the bag is designed, it’s not a great bag for going on hikes with because it is bulkier, and the packaging altogether will weigh more.
The Monterey G5 has apparently worked on some of the things that make this board more bulky by changing the carbon side rails to welded seams, which do a similar job while allowing the board to fold better.
You can see the full Nixy Monterey G4 Review here (model before G5).
Pros:
- Exceptional rigidity and solid stability
- High scores across construction (9.5), features (9.2), accessories (9.1)—deck bungees, action mounts,
- Spacious deck with strong tracking (8.5) and stability (9), suitable for heavy gear and long outings.
- Solid board for traveling longer distances due to more streamlines shape
- Stable for a single person and smaller passenger
Cons:
- Heavier (25 lb) and bulkier when packed—less ideal for travel
- Lost a few items compared to G4 like the Scotty Mounts, extra row of deck webbing and 2 side fins.
3. Isle Pioneer Pro 10’6″ (Construction Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 10’6” X 34” X 6”
- Weight: 23 Lbs
- Max Capacity: 300 Lbs
- Materials: Dual Layer Fusion with Reinforced Infinity Fiber tech
Total Score: 8.7 / 10 (Total of Accumulated Scores below)
- On-Water Performance – 8.6
- Stability 10
- Tracking 7.5
- Speed 7.5
- Maneuverability 9.5
- SUP Construction – 9.8
- Board Features – 8.6

- Kayak Conversion Kit – 9
- Set-Up/ Take Down – 8
The Isle Pioneer Pro blends innovative rigidity with comfort and accessory function. Featuring Isle’s Infinity fiber on the rail and hull, it claims up to 300% more stiffness than standard inflatables. With a full-length deck pad and removable bungees, it excels for SUP yoga and gear hauling.
It is also a very versatile kayak hybrid that comes with an inflatable seat, foot rest Isle link system, which allows you to install the seat and footrest wherever works best for you. It also comes with a well-made backpack, dry bag, and probably the best kayak hybrid SUP paddle I have tested to date.
On the water, it remains rock-solid stable, ideal for calm lakes or relaxed river cruising. Maneuverability is notably responsive (rated 9.5 for kayak hybrid performance), although its 34″ width means tracking and speed are average compared to racing-focused models.
Overall, the Pioneer Pro is a stiff, reliable, multi-purpose board for yogis, anglers, and travel-focused paddlers seeking a lightweight, kayak-capable SUP. It sacrifices a bit of stroke efficiency for comfort, deck space, and stability, making it a confident, well-rounded choice.
You can see the full Isle Pioneer Pro Review here.
Pros:
- Stiff and responsive ride—Infinity fiber adds up to 300% more stiffness.
- Multiple Lashes and kayak-tailored design—ideal for yoga, fishing, and hybrid touring.
- Rock-solid, reliable platform with excellent maneuverability (kayak tests scored 9.5)
- Very stable on the water
- A fantastic board for most-sized paddlers
Cons:
- Width (34″) limits tracking and top speed compared to narrower all around boards .
- Less stroke-efficient—compromises distance paddling for comfort and stability.
- Price point can be seen as expensive
4. Blackfin XL 6.0 11’6″ (Capacity Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 11’6 X 34” X 6”
- Weight: 29 Lbs
- Maxi Capacity: 485 Lbs
- Materials: Military Grade Triple Layer PVC w/ Carbon Rails
Total Rating: 8.4 / 10 (Accumulated Ratings Below)

- Set-Up/ Take Down 8
The Blackfin XL 6.0 is a premium expedition-style board with impressive stability and tracking. At 11′6″ and robust width, it managed 7 strokes-per-side during testing—a strong showing among similarly sized paddle boards. With triple-layer PVC, carbon side rails, and heavy-duty drop-stitch, it offers a rigid and long-lasting board whose seams (the point of many SUP failures) have a 3-year warranty attached to them.
Designed for larger riders or tandem use, the XL supports up to 485 lbs and handles even big dogs onboard. It also includes ample removable deck bungees and action mounts and Scotty Mounts for Racks for a fishing setup.
Its main drawback is weight—at around 29 lb, it’s heavier than many all-around boards, making carrying and boarding more taxing for smaller paddlers. But for those seeking stability and durability in all sorts of different conditions, the XL is a very solid and stable all-around pick.
You can see the full Blackfin XL 6.0 Review here.
Pros:
- Heavy-duty build with triple-layer PVC, carbon rails, and drop-stitch for long-lasting rigidity
- Superb load capacity (485 lb), supporting tandem or pet use with ease.
- Strong paddling performance—7 strokes per side, good tracking and gear compatibility
Cons:
- Weighs around 29 lb—on the heavier side for transport
- Width reduces glide speed and agility for touring.

Features
- Dimensions: 11’6” x 35” x 6”
- Weight: 24 Lbs
- Maximum Capacity: 485 Lbs

The Gili Meno 11’6″ combines stability with the solid on-water performance of a board of its dimensions. With a total rating of 8.4 and standout scores (stability 9.5, tracking 8.5), it clearly excels as a family or tandem board. It offers carbon rails, multiple fins, and gear-friendly bungees, making it a comfortable and capable craft for a wide range of different passengers.
Featuring a lightweight design (24 lb) and a solid array of onboard accessories, it’s a versatile platform for fishing, yoga, or co‑paddling. It even supports testing with riders up to 300 lb plus a passenger seated, without compromise in stability. Our writer Zia tested it paddling to Kaslo Jazzfest with a passenger, and the board passed with flying colors.
While it won’t win races, the Meno remains reliable and fun. Its rounded shape and wide weight limit high-speed agility, which slightly lags behind smaller all all-around-focused boards. Still, its ease of use and load-friendly build make it a top choice for families and larger paddlers.
You can see the full Gili Meno XL 11’6” Review here.
Pros:
- Excellent stability—rated 9.5—with 6 rows of bungees and Scotty/action mounts for fishing/touring
- Versatile use—tandem/pet capable, strong accessory setup for multi-tasking board
- Can be a very good fishing pick
- The board is lightweight for its size
Cons:
- Not sure if Gili is still in business or not
- It may feel sluggish to smaller paddlers and lacks the swift handling of narrower touring boards.
6. Bote HD Aero 11’6″ (Fishing Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 11’6” x 35” x 6”
- Weight: 30 Lbs
- Maximum Capacity: 315Lbs
- Materials: Aero BOTE Technology
Total Rating 8.25/ 10 (Averages of Below Scores)

- Set-Up/ Take Down – 8
The Bote HD Aero delivers tailored power for fishing and big-rider comfort. With slide-in Scotty rack mounts, Magnepod cup holder, and carbon-reinforced rails, it’s built for anglers who want that silent fish stalker. Built with Aero-Ultra technology, which is the best material available by BOTE. It’s a very solid and rugged pick to bring to most fishing environments.
Stability is outstanding—rated 9.5 on water—and it balances tracking (8) and maneuverability (8), although its weight (30 lb) demands energy in crosswinds or currents. Its deck layout is well-planned, but a little cluttered underfoot. Still, BOTE offers a lot of color and accessory variations that will best suit what you are looking for.
Overall, the HD Aero is a specialized adventure craft: excellent for anglers, expedition paddlers, or heavyweight users, but bulkier and more costly than average all-around boards.
You can see the full BOTE HD Aero Review here.
Pros:
- Very stable (9.5) with durable Aero composite PVC and fishing integrations like Scotty mounts and Magnepod paddle holder .
- Spacious layout with 30 lb weight capacity and onboard gear management features .
- Great pick for anglers
Cons:
- Heavy (~30 lb)—more challenging for carry and handling .
- Larger size sacrifices speed and precision maneuvering.
- Wish they didn’t just use a slide in fin for their SUP’s
7. Bote LowRider 10’6″ (Kayak Hybrid Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 10’6″ x 36″ x 6″
- Weight: 30 lbs
- Max Capacity: 300 lbs
- Materials: Ultra Aero Technology
Total Rating 7.9/ 10 (Averages of Below Scores)
- On-Water Performance – 8.1
- Stability 9.5
- Tracking 7
- Speed 7
- Maneuverability 9
- SUP Construction – 7.5
- Board Features – 8.2

- Kayak Conversion Kit 9
- Backpack 8
- Paddle 8
- Pump 7
- Fins 7.5
- Set-Up/ Take Down – 8
With its 36″ wide width, the LowRider prioritizes primary stability and extreme kayak comfort. Its Aero Ultra single-layer body and dual rails give solid rigidity, though it’s noted not as stiff as some competitors like the Isle Pioneer Pro. However, its stability while doing various maneuvers like side paddles and reverse sweep strokes was a big plus.
LowRider excels in ease: it’s supremely balanced and forgiving under any boarding condition and handles kayak conversion seamlessly . However, the lack of rigidity limits stroke efficiency and precise tracking, making it better for calm, recreational paddling versus sporty outings.
In short, it’s an excellent board built for comfort, not efficiency. A great beginner-friendly kayak hybrid, but not ideal for speed or performance use. Infact, it is the most comfortable kayak hybrid I have paddled to date, making it a great board to load up and cruise on during a calm sunny lake day.
You can see the full BOTE LowRider Review here.
Pros:
- Extremely stable—36″ width plus hull design excellent for kayaking and family-friendly use .
- Rigid Aero Ultra construction—with very forgiving handling for novices .
- Inflatable kayak seat is very comfortable
- Fantastic pick for a beginner who wants both a SUP and comfy kayak option
Cons:
- Lacks premium construction, less rigid than fusion boards like Isle’s
- Slower, great for comfort, but not for speed.
8. Bote Easy Rider 10’4″ (Budget Comfort Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 10’4″ x 36″ x 6″
- Weight: 28 lbs
- Max Capacity: 250 lbs
- Materials: Ultra Aero Technology
Total Rating: 7.7/10 (Average of Below Ratings)
- On-Water Performance – 7.9
- Stability 9
- Tracking 6.5
- Speed 7
- Maneuverability 9
- SUP Construction – 7.5
- Board Features – 7.8
- Deck Pad 8.5
- D Rings 8
- Deck Bungees 7.5

- Handles 8
- Accessories – 7.3
- Kayak Conversion Kit 9
- Backpack 7.5
- Paddle 7
- Pump 7
- Fins 7.5
- Set-Up/ Take Down – 8
The Easy Rider 10’4″ is a supremely stable, comfort-focused hybrid tailored to novices. At 36″ wide, it offers solid support for first-timers and cross-over kayakers alike. Its inflatable seat and family-friendly deck make it a top pick for paddle + sit outings.
Maneuverability is better than expected for such a broad craft—fun and easy to steer, and very forgiving for beginners . It excels in ease-of-use more than speed or touring dynamics.
The main differences between the Easy Rider and the Low Rider is the main deck layout and the accessories that come with the package. The Low Rider features a deckpad that spans the entire board, more deck bungee area, and has a bag with wheels.
Overall, the Easy Rider is a comfortable, budget-conscious entry board, designed to welcome novices with confidence and stability, but less suited for paddlers seeking speed or long-distance paddling.
You can see the full BOTE Easy Rider Review here.
Pros:
- Beginner-friendly—36″ width and hybrid design provides confidence and comfort .
- Surprisingly agile for its size, forgiving and easy to maneuver .
- The kayak seat is very comfortable much like the Low Rider
Cons:
- Too slow for touring—designed more for casual paddle than performance
- Lacks premium structure and accessory mounts
- Not a massive fan of the paddle shaft (I go blisters using it for the day in windy conditions)
9. Tower Xtreme 10’4″ (Recreational Pick)
Features
- Dimensions: 10’4 X 35” X 6”
- Weight: 29 Lbs
- Max Capacity: 550 Lbs
- Materials Used: Dual Layer PVC
Total Score: 7.63/10 (Average of Below Accumulated Scores)
- On-Water Performance – 8.1
- Stability 9.5
- Tracking 7
- Speed 7
- Maneuverability 9
- SUP Construction – 8
- Board Features – 7.4
- Deck Pad 8
- D Rings 7
- Deck Bungees 7
- Handles 7.5
- Accessories – 7.2
- Paddle 7.5
- Pump 7
- Fins 7
- Set-Up/ Take Down – 7.5
The Tower Xtreme stands out in the inflatable SUP category with its 8″ thickness—compared to the standard 6″—which creates an ultra-rigid, dock-like stability underfoot. Tested at Deep Cove, BC, it earned high marks for ease of balance, even with incoming waves, and performed exceptionally well for beginner and balance-challenged paddlers, boasting a standout stability score of 9.5/10
Measuring 10′4″ × 35″ and weighing in around 29 lb, the Xtreme offers massive volume (≈450 L) and a heavyweight capacity (≈550 lb), making it ideal for tandem rides, ride-along pets, or carrying extra gear. It’s impressively maneuverable—topping traditional all-around boards with a maneuverability score of 9/10—but its bulk and broad, drag-prone nose result in average tracking and speed performance, scoring around 7/10 in these areas.
On the downside, the Xtreme arrives with a minimalist accessory package—no carry bag, basic hook-and-pin finbox, and single-chamber pump—which feels underwhelming given its premium positioning. It also costs more and can feel cumbersome on land due to its size and heft. But for paddlers prioritizing unmatched thickness, rigidity, and primary stability, particularly for tandem or heavier use, the Tower Xtreme is a solid pick for those who just want a board and paddle.
You can see the full Tower Xtreme Review here.
Pros:
- Ultra-rigid 8″ thickness delivers dock-like stability—rated 9.5 for balance
- Tremendous load capacity (550 lb), perfect for tandems, pets, or heavy gear
- Sharp maneuverability—scored 9/10—but retains confidence even in boat wakes
Cons:
- Basic kit—no carry bag, only single-chamber pump, simple finbox
- Heavier and bulkier—29 lb may pose carrying challenges
- Tracking and speed are average due to draggy nose and broad profile

The most common paddleboard you will probably see. The Performer 11 is a compelling, budget-friendly starter board that delivers decent reliability for its price. Available seasonally at retail and Costco, it balances affordability with good beginner stability, and only a couple of sessions are needed to find your footing if you are a first-time paddler.
With its 11′ length and 34″ width, it supports up to 320 lb, making it suitable for a wide range of users . Performance is predictably steady, reliable for calm-water paddling, but it can handle bigger water bodies like larger lakes and coastal areas as well.
In all, the Performer 11 offers standout value. It’s not feature-packed, but it’s exactly what new paddlers need—a solid, accessible board that gets them confidently on the water.
You can see the full Body Glover Performer 11 Review here.
Pros:
- Affordable and welcoming to beginners—good initial stability
- Capable of supporting heavier users (up to ~320 lb)
- The board offers solid maneuverability
Cons:
- Minimal features—no standout construction or gear capacity
- Not suited for touring—lacks speed and tracking enhancements
Final Thoughts
