Body Glove Performer 11 ISUP Package - Paddle Board, Paddle, Storage Backpack, Electric and Hand Pumps, Coil Leash Included

Product Information

While it is stable by width it is also sleek by design, which makes for an easy board to cruise the intercoastal waterways and circumnavigate your local lakes and rivers. EVA foam is used for the traction deck pad and runs half the length of the board from the tail to just past the midpoint. Their growing lineup of inflatable paddle boards features ten models for 2019, ranging in size from 10 feet to 15 feet in length. There is also a clear zippered pocket at the front of the bag that can be used for storing smaller items. Plus, Body Glove includes a carbon reinforced lengthwise stringer, which Body Glove shows off through a small window-like section of the outer PVC layer.

In terms of altering the shape of the permanently fixed fins, I don’t think that’s going to help in the tracking department. Here’s a play tip: Sometimes beginner friends and family feel far more comfortable if they sit or kneel on a paddle board. The extra reinforcement on the nose really adds to the durability factor of the Performer 11 and will help to make sure it has a long life. I bought two of the Body Glove Performer 11’ inflatables from Costco and the handle, rear leash attachment point, and several spots around the grippy top where you stand are delaminating once they get warm in the sun. Not only is it easy to lug around, it's also easy to inflate since the Body Glove package comes with that electric pump, which I used to take it all the way to 15 psi.There is also a translucent ankle leash, dual-action high-pressure hand pump, repair kit, carrying backpack and dry bag. Package Details The included high-pressure ISUP pump works well and the backpack bag is roomy to make packing easy. The included paddle is a bit too small to efficiently propel the board and requires tightening to keep the handle from shifting. This would improve the board’s tracking capabilities and add more versatility as you’d be able to experiment with various fin configurations.

Some high-performance ISUPs will max out at 20 psi, but most paddlers won’t notice much of a difference between 15 and 20 psi. You’ll also notice the vibrant chevron stripes — and new for 2022 — laser-engraved foot placement guides on the EVA deck pad, which all add up to a really fun design. AirFrame XT construction technology is comprised of a unique layering system to make our boards lighter and faster while supporting inflation to rock-hard rigidity. The three built-in rubber fins do make it fast and easy to get on the water as there is no fin setup involved, just unroll and inflate.The first setting is a two-way valve that inflates when pushing and pulling which doubles the speed of inflation. these fins — they simply stay on the board, and are built to withstand some bumps and bend when rolling up the SUP for storing away.
