Who is this for: The Tahe Sport Breeze Wing is a great all-around, stable board that is suitable for paddlers of all skill levels and is capable of paddling longer distances. This paddle board is made with Tahe Sport’s SUP Air technology which includes a dual-layer stringer and side rails combined with drop-stitch panels, which we felt made for strong overall durability and something that can stand the test of time. This board is on the lighter side, and weighed in at ~24lbs making handling the board pretty easy when getting in and out of the water. The Tahe Sport Breeze Wing inflatable paddle board is a great all-around recreational board, allowing you to take it from the shoreline with your kids to long-distance paddling adventures. This inflatable paddle board can be stable for long distances of 3 to 10+ miles due to the technology, as well as the comfort and grip from the traction pad. And, coming in at an affordable price point of less than $800 with everything you need to get out on the water (board, paddle, pump, leash, fin) this is a board definitely worth taking a look at.

Who is this for: The HD Aero from BOTE is a great all-around, stable board for mid-range distances that is well suited for beginner and intermediate paddlers.

The HD Aero comes in an array of colors and designs that are stunning (in true BOTE fashion), so there’s definitely something there that you’re sure to like. Weighing in at ~25lbs, the board is at an average weight for its size and is fairly easy to carry to and from the water. Priced at $1,149 (USD) this board sits in the popular mid-tier market in terms of affordability. Read more HERE.

This board comes in a variety of colors so you’re sure to find something that best suits your style. The All Around Ultra weighed in around 19lbs making it very lightweight and easy to carry, and it’s definitely a viable option if you are considering this board for the family and especially if you’re looking for a board that doesn’t take up a lot of storage space.
