ISLE Airtech® 12’6″ Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

The Airtech 12’6″ is designed with a touring style shape that makes it great for ocean and flat-water paddling. Once inflated this iSUP is rock hard to provide the much desired stable platform that is noticed with the traditional paddle boards. Plus, for complete convenience in storage and transport, the ISLE Airtech® can deflate to the size of a sleeping bag, and with the pre-packaged pump can fully inflate within less than 5 minutes.
