Bluefin Cruise Lite SUP Paddleboard Kit | Lightweight and Compact Stand Up Paddle Board for Adults | In Sizes 11Ft4 and 10Ft

Product Information

The 10’8’’ long SUP is a great mixture between being short enough to maneuver with and long enough to offer solid tracking.

The Bluefin 10’8’’ Cruise is an all-around board, built so that beginners and expert paddles alike can find reasons to enjoy using it. If you’re looking for an all-rounder we recommend our Cruise range which comes in 4 different sizes ranging from 8ft to 15ft. The new range doesn’t come with the kayak seat and extra paddle blade conversion like previous models, but we don’t see this as a deal breaker and think the improvements in design and build offset the additional extras.The deck pad covers most of the length of the paddleboard, stopping just before the nose cargo area, giving you and those who go out with you plenty of space to stand or sit. The four piece paddle can be assembled in seconds, and has an adjustable height so that all sorts of adults can feel comfortable using it. With just a few strokes to your side, it’s quite simple to turn around in the water, making it quite easy to dodge rocks, trees, and other paddlers as you SUP. We were delighted to find then that as we tested the SUP with paddlers that weighed more than 200 lbs, it performed incredibly well! I’ve used boards in the past and carrying them from the truck to the water was a pain in the backside, due to being awkwardly shaped, lacking hand grips, the size!

When everything is lumped together into the backpack It is still rather wieldy, even with the pump inside. The package also comes with an extra paddle end to convert the long SUP paddle instantly into a kayak paddle. Triple carry handles:While the 10’8’’ can be heavy for some paddlers, the triple carry handles does make it a whole lot easier to transport the SUP. Robust even at a weight of just 995g, the carbon fibre shaft and nylon blade offer durability to those who want to travel farther. If you are used to solid SUP, be aware that inflatables are a little trickier to balance on, but once you get used to it, it's actually a lot more fun to ride than a solid board.side fins, each enhance the performance of the paddleboard in their own ways, the center fin improving tracking and the side fins improving stability. Slotting it into place was easy enough, but there’s a small screw that you also need to twist into it to secure it.

It has some internal straps to support the SUP and a front pocket for smaller items like the fins which is really handy.The Bluefin Cruise 12′ comes as an entire kit, complete with the inflatable paddle board, a hand powered air pump, a two function fiberglass paddle, carry bag/backpack, a kayak conversion kit, and a leash. Operating out of West Yorkshire, Bluefin is owned and operated by a family of water sports enthusiasts after years of experience exploring the Southern Uplands off the coast of Scotland. Our Cruise board is expertly designed for all-round paddling and is ideal for beginners or intermediates.
