The Top 10 Best Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Boards of 2025

Are you looking to purchase a new inflatable SUP board? If you are, take a moment to read over our newly updated 2025 best inflatable paddle board list. This list will continue to be updated as new boards hit the market – so be sure to check back often for updates.

Sadly, the internet is full of false information from people who have not tested any of their top-rated iSUPs (some have never paddle-boarded before). Instead, they throw up a list of 'top 10 rated inflatable stand-up paddle boards' and move on to the next post. Or you have a paddle board company that puts together its top rate list, which will inherently be biased towards their brands and unfair to others.

At boardandkayak.com, we not only do a paddle and test each board we recommend but also spend hours talking with manufacturers and advising them on how to improve their boards yearly. We are a team of people across the globe, from the USA to Germany to Australia, and we aim to give you the best inflatable SUP reviews to find the right iSUP for you.

Below are our current 10 Best All-Around Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Boards for 2025. This list is our attempt at putting together recommendations based on how well each board performs on the water, how well the SUP is built (we want to make sure any board listed is made with high-quality materials and is going to last), and what people old and young, short and tall, small and large think about the boards. This is not just a list from industry pros so far removed from the average paddler that they only recommend $1,500 inflatable paddle boards. Most people are budget-conscious and consider cost when creating this list. Finally, we vet every company and ensure you will be given customer support after purchasing.

ISLE Switch 2 in-1 Inflatable SUP/Kayak

This list has been expanded with the ISLE Switch, an exciting new addition. We have found no other board of its type to be a kayak and a SUP hybrid that performs well in either application.

ISLE Switch's 11'6 x 35.5" size makes it super stable, yet it weighs just 19 pounds. You can pick up a surprising level of speed for a board of this size without experiencing the heavy, cumbersome feeling that sometimes comes with larger panels. The paddler does not need much effort to maneuver it, making it easy to turn with sweeping strokes.

The Switch is highly versatile, even without its 2 in 1 label. A series of polyester loops runs from nose to tail along both SUP rails, which ISLE calls their 'ISLE-LINK Connect System.' In addition to customizing your kayak seat and footrest placement, you can adjust the size of your cargo area. In addition, you can add more attachments, anchor down extra gear, and even attach two kayak seats for a tandem kayak.

Our favorite inclusion in the Switch is the inflatable kayak seat and footrest. ISLE has made sure to include to get you out on the water SUP'ing or kayaking.

The most popular hybrid 2 in 1 board on the market, undoubtedly.

SereneLife Up iSUP

Our list of best inflatable paddle boards includes SereneLife. We've consistently ranked it among the best-valued SUPs, and it's a good entry-level, good-quality iSUP. Furthermore, you won't find many great features and accessories at this price point (under $400).

The 10'6 board is one of the most versatile SUP boards on the market, featuring D-rings, action mounts, safety handles, and bungees for storage.

The 10'6 SereneLife is one of the best iSUPs we've encountered for 2025, so why did we include it on our list? Price is the only thing that matters, and it's a killer deal now that SereneLife has lowered the price. Our readers deserve a high-quality, value-packed paddle-boarding option on this list, given the current economy. The SereneLife is similar to the All-Around with less PVC and drop-stitch density. This board isn't as rigid as the All-Around or some other boards on this list, but it still paddles well and comes with suitable accessories, making it an excellent choice for beginners and recreational paddlers.

iROCKER Cruiser Ultra iSUP

iROCKER's Ultra series blew us away. Our team's Ultra series SUPs have quickly become staples in our collection due to their compact design and impressive rigidity. Among the crowd, iROCKER's Cruiser was a stable yet lightweight, sporty, all-around model that improved on the original Cruiser.

It is the weight that distinguishes the Cruiser Ultra from the Original Cruiser. It was pretty heavy at 25 lbs when it was 10'6 x 33", but it will be roughly 4 lbs lighter at 21 kg when it is 10'6 x 33". As a result, the Cruiser Ultra feels much smoother while paddling, and smaller paddlers will have an easier time getting it moving. IROCKER achieved this weight reduction without compromising the stiffness of the Ultra series, which is even stiffer than its predecessor. Furthermore, the Cruiser Ultra has twin fins that improve tracking capabilities and make it more compact.

Even though the Ultra series is known for its performance and build quality, we are also smitten with the accessories included in the package. iROCKER's Ultras are packed in a lightweight, comfortable, and compact SUP backpack, including an integrated carbon hybrid paddle, a coiled leash, twin fins, and a 12V electric pump. In today's compact SUP market, an accessory list of this quality is impossible to beat, adding so much value to the SUP.

Thurso Surf WaterWalker 132

ThursoSurf Waterwalker 132 ranks third on our list of best iSUPs. The Waterwalker also comes in a 10'6 and 10'10 version suitable for smaller solo paddlers, rather than the 132 we'll focus on.

It's stable, not cumbersome, and glides smoothly, giving it a faster feeling in the water. Changing to a higher-quality drop stitch (woven) this year, Thurso cut some weight on the board, adding responsiveness and lighter weight. Compared to the other SUPs on this list, this one outperforms them all.

In terms of accessories, we love the a lot about the WaterWalker. Besides the two wheels, the upgraded bag includes an extra zipper pouch for fins and other accessories (leash, repair kit, etc.). The paddle holder on the side of the board is a great feature that keeps your paddle secure while on the board. Another method of securing the paddler is by undoing the center handle and wrapping it around the shaft. Anything like SUP Yoga is still impossible with this kind of design. As far as paddle holders go, Thurso's design is the best! SUP fitness and yoga are ideal extra activities for this board. It is also lovely to have the extra D-rings and bungee cords on both sides of the board, so you can store all kinds of items or set up the optional kayak seat.

Thurso's boards are made from durable dual-layer PVC, which has a high weight capacity. The rails are reinforced with a layer of PVC plus carbon fiber to improve protection and stiffness. In addition, Thurso kept their well-known wooden grain print but offered a few color options that we loved.

Thurso Surf continues to grow, and we look forward to seeing what they come out with in the future!

BŌTE HD Aero

The BŌTE HD Aero Inflatable 11'6 stand-up paddle board is a new addition to our list and does not disappoint. BŌTE is renowned for its durable and stable SUPs, and the 2023 HD Aero model is no exception. At 11'6 and 34" wide, this board offers ample volume and is incredibly tough. It also has many great accessories, such as BŌTE's unique paddle sheath, rack mounts, multiple D-rings, and front and back bungees. The board seamlessly combines an all-around board with a solid fishing platform.

In terms of design, the BŌTE HD Aero is one of the most attractive boards on the market, featuring four different color and design options. These options are not just different colors of the same design but four completely different designs, ensuring you will find one that suits your style.

Whether cruising on flat water lakes and marinas, fishing with friends, or paddling in open ocean waters loaded with gear or kids, the BŌTE HD Aero performs exceptionally well in various settings.

Atoll 11' Inflatable Paddle Board

The Atoll 11' is a great lightweight yet stable all-around board option. At just 21 lbs, it is nimble on the water and perfect for various activities. Atoll has managed to keep the weight down by using fusion technology in the manufacturing process.

What sets the Atoll apart from other all-around boards is its tapered shape in the front and back, giving it more of a touring/cruising design. This makes paddling a joy as it is fast and glides through the water quickly. The board also comes with ample storage in the nose and multiple D-rings for additional storage or attaching accessories. The only downside is that it could benefit from an extra handle on the nose for improved portability.

The pump could be improved, but the board has a high-quality carbon fiber blend paddle and center fin. It is suitable for both beginners and intermediates and comes in various color options and with a 2-year warranty.

BlueFin Cruise 10'8 All-Around Inflatable SUP

Bluefin is a new player on our best inflatable stand-up paddle boards list, but they are not new to the industry. Based in the United Kingdom, Bluefin is a leading European manufacturer and is now making a big entrance into the US market. Their boards are of excellent quality, and we particularly like the BlueFin Cruise for its superb build quality and stiffness. The BlueFin Carbon comes with an impressive array of accessories such as a 3-piece fiberglass paddle, leash, single chamber dual action pump, phone dry bag, and kayak conversion kit. The large backpack may be more significant than average but valuable. We are excited to see Bluefin expand to the US market and believe they have created a fantastic board and kit at an excellent price point.
