The length, 11’, is just about perfect for most paddle boarders and the Flood Aero doesn’t disappoint. It gives you the speed that most rider would want without making too much of a sacrifice when it comes to turning and other maneuverings.

If you look over their lineup, the Breeze Aero is what you would consider the most “normal” SUP in the sense that it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that Bote is known for. That’s not to say that it doesn’t have any of the features that are specific to Bote.

While you’d normally expect to see an EVA foam pad on an iSUP deck, here you have a BVA foam pad which Bote says is better for getting rid of any water that finds itself on the deck. Whether or not that actually true, we’re not sure, though it is super comfy.

As with any yoga or family board, this board is incredibly stable, even for its size. When you move around in relatively calm water, you move your body from side to side and not feel like you’re going to tip over. Another aspect of this is getting on the boar from the water. When a board is too light or narrow, the board want to flip over when you try to get on. This isn’t the case with the Scout.

The gorgeous graphics are unlike any I have seen on other comparable boards. The limited edition collection is so modern and stylish they make amazing pieces of art. Every detail is so well thought out and the entire collection has a streamlined look.

Atoll’s line of inflatable SUPs consists of one model – their 11’, ultra lightweight, rigid iSUP. This model comes in 3 different colors -Army Green, Light Blue and the limited Desert Sand version.

Besides the difference in length, the Waterwalker 10’ has a somewhat different color scheme to set it apart from the other two. While still retaining the same general woodgrain design on top, the accent color on the deck and the predominant color on the sides and bottom is a beautiful hue of orange.

One of the most notable features of this company — one that we hope they hold on to — is their responsiveness to their customers. This is shown through their strong customer support and in the way they improve their boards with each model year.

The PEAK inflatable all-around SUP is without a doubt one of the best budget boards on the market for those who are looking to get started in the world of paddle boarding. In fact, it’s hard to imagine a better board for a newcomer since one of the biggest issues we see is with someone getting a cheap board that is poorly made then give up because they think paddle boarding isn’t fun.

This is an amazingly high-quality board that will get you and your friends where you want to go. Yes, we said “friends” as in 800 pounds worth. That’s right — this board can easily take 4 or more adults out on the water at a time.
