The Thurso Surf 132 Waterwalker, one of the best stand up paddle boards of 2021.

Thurso Surf 132 Waterwalker, Surf Expedition 138, and 120 WaterWalker were all named amongst the best SUPs of 2021

The Thurso Surf 132 Waterwalker All-Around SUP was named one of the Best Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboards for 2021 by industry leader SUPBoardguide.com. This all-around inflatable stand up paddle board not only excels, but goes above and beyond making it a standout in the all-around category. SUPBoardguide.com specifically mentions it’s excellent speed due to the unique shape and the high-quality construction as the reasons why. 

In addition to the Waterwalker 132,  SUPBoardguide.com also awarded the Thurso Surf Expedition as one of the Best Touring Stand Up Paddle Boards for 2021. To be a winner in this category the Expedition surpassed all expectations for its performance, fantastic speed, and easy maneuverability. 

Last but not least, the Waterwalker 120 was named one of the Best Cheap Stand Up Paddle Boards of 2021. For this award it wasn’t just the design and construction that inspired the judges. It was the whole package. They agreed that when you choose the Waterwalker 120 you’re getting a paddleboard that is of tremendous value for the money.  SUPBoardguide.com also mentioned that they love the carbon fiber reinforced rails, 15 d-rings, and dual bungee cargo areas on this affordable entry-level board. 

“Thurso chose to make their boards with a dual-layer PVC that’s both durable and has a high weight capacity. They also add an extra layer of PVC + carbon fiber to the rails for better protection and stiffness. Finally, Thurso kept with their well-known style of a wooden grain print but has a few different color options that we just love. Overall the board is awesome, and we are excited to see what Thurso Surf comes out with in the future as they continue to grow!”
