Key Specs
Bridges the gap between junior and adult boards at 9' x 28"; compact size doubles as a surf-capable board while the narrow width teaches proper paddle technique and builds confidence for teens and smaller adults
What's in the Box
Unlike most paddle boards labeled "youth paddle board" or "junior SUP", the Adept is fully-featured paddle board for youth with rigging front and rear, loads of D-rings for accessories and attachments like coolers, a kayak seat and more. Aspiring YouTubers will love the action cam mount! This is no children's toy. It's built with the same high tech materials and construction as our adult paddleboards and matches them in performance, safety, and stability. As a lightweight SUP board tailored for teenagers, it accelerates faster, is more maneuverable, and is easier to carry than full-sized SUPs. Plus, designed as a 9 ft paddle board, there's plenty of room to grow. As kids get bigger a few years down the line, the Adept will still see action as a nimble surf SUP or or family fun paddle board.

All-around
Knitted Drop Stitch Core
At the heart of our legacy inflatable SUPs lies the Knitted Drop Stitch Core, a time-tested design that balances portability with rugged performance. Thousands of high-tensile polyester threads vertically bond the top and bottom PVC layers, creating a rigid structure when inflated to 15 PSI.
Fusion Lamination
Fusion lamination uses heat and pressure to fuse two layers of high-quality PVC, making our inflatable paddle boards lighter, more durable, and structurally stronger. This process reduces weight while increasing stiffness for a smoother surface.
