Catering for skilled paddlers, the Woody offers a good mix of durability, solid performance, and ergonomic handling.

Beginners want a board that feels secure underfoot, which helps with confidence in the early stages of starting this sport. However, a board that is too wide will stunt progression, feel sluggish and be less manoeuvrable.

Coiled Ankle Leash – designed for board safety, the 360° pivot swivel, anti-tangle, bungee coiled leash comes with a padded ankle strap for comfort. The height adjusting clip was a little loose on mine, which meant the handle would spin around by itself. So before you head out, make sure this is tightened up.S o are Wave Sups good? Absolutely, especially if you’re a beginner on a budget who is eager to get paddleboarding. It’s also a perfect budget choice for families who want a board everyone can have fun on at the beach. I've used the X100 about six times, and so far it's been pleasingly robust. A few other reviewers have reported eventual leaks, although there is an included repair patch if this does happen, and I think with good care this board should last for a few summers of adventures. Decathlon X100 touring paddle board review: alternatives to consider

The Wave Tourer was tested in March in Chichester Harbour. The wind was around 10 – 12 knots cross-onshore, so it was relatively choppy but we found some flat spots too. StabilityIn T3's Surfstar 10'6" Advance Star inflatable stand up paddleboard review, the reviewer rated this similarly priced board extremely highly, so that's well worth a look to start with. Aquaplanet's MAX Sup is another entry-level design that offers good value for money when it comes to quality, and at 10'6 it's a generous size that will give beginners confidence. Its cheerful rainbow design is just as distinctive as the Woody's looks, too. Fancy something nimbler? The NKX Flash is smaller, lighter and faster, and will suit intermediate SUP-ers heading into the sea to try out small waves. Crafted using Wave’s unique military-grade single layer ply, the Woody iSUP can be inflated up to 15 PSI to offer the strength and rigidity of a double layered PVC board. The board's solid construction and contemporary design makes the Woody an ideal choice for a wide variety of terrains. However, don’t let this put you off, there are plenty of boards that cost double what the Wave Tourer does that would perform in the same way. From the pump, to paddle and installing the fin, everything was super simple to use, even if you have never paddle boarded before. Along with the overall quality, the Wave Tourer has really impressed me in terms of how it looks. The colour options, subtle graphics and matching paddle design makes the Wave Tourer look classy. I feel proud walking to the water with this board under my arm – Even the bright orange one! 10ft/11ft Wave Tourer specs:

Month Warranty - all Wave iSUPS come with a 12-month warranty for manufacturing faults/generic damage. Warranty will be activated when you register your board. Available in two sizes, 10ft and 11ft, and three vibrant colourways, the Tourer is our most popular all-rounder paddleboard. Family friendly, the Tourer is ideal for use on lakes, rivers, canals, and seas, suiting both newcomers and more experienced paddlers. Our iSUP collections here at Wave are split into 5 key categories, covering beginners, kids and surfers, family friendly all-rounders, intermediate skill level boards and our Pro range of professional performance paddleboards. The pump was really easy to use and is plug and play straight out the box. The pump is a single-cylinder but duel action, so it inflates the board as you pull up on the pump, as well as when pushing it down.In smooth, flat water, I found the board to be super stable. However once I hit some oncoming and side chop, the board felt a little bit unsure of itself and this is where the single-layer construction and relatively low pressure meant the board did wobble a bit like a bouncy castle, even with the max recommended 15 PSI. Ideal for a variety of terrains, the Wave Woody iSUP offers amazing functionality, quality and style for individuals looking to upskill. For paddlers seeking a robust blow-up paddleboard that is equipped with the latest gadgets, this is the perfect iSUP for you. Aluminium Telescopic Paddle - high quality, colour coordinated paddle, fully adjustable to suit your height, adjust the length from 80 to 213 cm (31 to 84 inches) Although this board is called the ‘Tourer’, I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who wants to do long-distance touring. Those who go paddleboarding often and with more experience will find this board a little basic.
