To keep up and stay safe on family paddles, kids need a board designed specifically for young paddlers, not a water toy. The junior paddle board specifically designed with young paddlers in mind. Perfect for kids from 5yr old and beyond, this kids paddle board combines the stability needed for beginners with the maneuverability that smaller paddlers require. Unlike generic water toys, the Prodigy Junior stand up paddle board is constructed to the same high standards of quality and safety as our full-sized boards, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.Its all-around shape is extra wide in the middle for the stability new paddlers need, and tapered at the tail so it’s easy to maneuver and fun to ride. It comes with an adjustable paddle that’s the right fit for smaller limbs and it’s easy to transport in its own carry bag.

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.

30-Day Guarantee

Try our gear for 30 days and if you are unsatisfied for any reason you may exchange your item(s) or return them for a full refund. For more details, check out our Returns page.

2-Year Warranty

We’re proud to offer a 2-year Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty on all inflatable paddle boards from the date of purchase. We guarantee against any abnormal defects in workmanship and materials within this period. Certain conditions apply. For more details, check out our Warranty page.

FAQs

The Prodigy is one of the best fits for younger paddlers because it is sized specifically for kids rather than being a cut-down adult board. Its 7'6 length, wide platform, and lighter weight make it easier for children to carry, balance, and enjoy on calmer water.
Yes. The Prodigy is designed for beginner kids and junior paddlers who need stability and easy handling more than speed. It is a strong first inflatable paddle board for children learning the basics of stance, paddling, and turning.
A kids paddle board like the Prodigy is shorter, lighter, and easier for smaller children to manage. A youth board like the Adept is the next step up, giving teens and bigger kids more length and glide once they are ready for something closer to an adult board.

Customer Support is great - so far, so is the SUP

Got this for my 10 year old daughter. Shipped on time, came with all the parts and so far works great. I was particiularly impressed that CS contacted me because my email address looked funny (it does, but it was right). I appreciated that there were human eyes on my order. Only surprise - I didn't see an owners manual in the box, but I didn't need one, so no biggie. Oh, and on my daughter's second time on the board she got to paddle around with a harbor seal!

Sup! It's Awesome!

My daughter is 8 and it fits her perfectly. She loves it! She's able to paddle and maneuver around the water with no issues. I have to say that Thurso Surf customer service is also awesome! I was going to buy a new pump for this board because the one i already have for a different brand didnt work. They help me troubleshoot and figure out what i needed to do and i didnt need a new pump. Thanks!

Amazing Quality All Around

I bought this for my 8 year old and a pink one for my 5 year old. The quality is amazing. They inflate and deflate quickly and fold up nicely. They will love these boards for years to come.

best boards ever

My kids - 10 year olds - were up and paddling on their Prodigy's within minutes. They love these boards. They are much thinner and have less volume that an adult board, and hence inflate very quickly - a pleasure for the parent for sure. Also, the paddles are smaller, sized for a kid, as is the leash. Thurso, for some reason, doesn't tell you this! All in all, a remarkable board. Designed for kids. And lighter and smaller than a big board so also great for the parents too. As well, I have an adult Thurso, and the fins are completely interchangeable - which makes it quite handy during setup.

Great boards for my boys!

I have a 12yo and 9yo, 74 and 47 pounds. So, not the biggest. These boards are well made and perfect for them! My wife and I purchased some cheaper boards and you can tell the difference!

I bought two for my daughters ages 6 and 9. They absolutely love them! They paddle with my wife and three year old every morning! The equipment is great quality and each came with bag and pump! Easy to handle and learn on! Thinking about another one for my third girl! The pink camo is perfect for these three!! Highly recommend!

Great board, heavy and large paddle

Purchased this as a first board for my 6 year old. The board looks great, the top half of the paddle is very light and at its shortest setting is perfect for her (she’s tall for her age) however the size and weight of the blade end really surprised me. I don’t think Isabella will be able to use this for years yet. Missed opportunity to have a great all round children’s starter package.

Great board for kids.

Works great for kids. Easy to inflate My 7-year-old is able to take it out and use it all by herself. Several other kids tried it and loved it too.

Kids LOVED it!

We have yet to test it out but huge smiles and hugs from my little granddaughters that they now have their own board! Thanks Thurso for figuring out fun ways to enjoy the water!

Pump not included

Very disappointed that the kids model is the only one that doesn't come with a pump included. Children's items should have the least barrier to fun. Now at a cottage and unable to use it with a very disappointed child $500 later.

Sweet board

Scored this board for my daughter! It's a great all around and perfect size! She's 8 and about 70 lbs so she got plenty room to grow. My 13 y/o nephew rock it too!

So easy to inflate - compatible with our other SUP electric pump. Sturdy, great quality, lots of fun! Definitely recommend.

Great for kids!

I gave this to my daughter for her 9th birthday. She loves it! It is light enough that she and her 6 year old brother can carry it together. It is very maneuverable and easy to use for a kid. The light paddle makes a big difference in making it user friendly for a kid too. We paddled together for 2 hours earlier this week - made it all over the lake together and she had a great time!

Wondering if the paddle floats??

Hi Ray,

Sorry for the late reply. The paddle does float on its own when fully assembled.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
