\"ISLE-Airtech-12'6-Touring-Paddle-Board-Features\"Isle Airtech Touring Stand Up Inflatable Paddle Board Review<\/h2>\n

T<\/span>he Isle Airtech 12\u20196\u201d is a showstopper \u2014 this is one of our favorite inflatables stand up paddle boards! The price tag may be a bit more than most other inflatable SUPs, but we think it\u2019s actually a pretty great deal for this special \u201cTouring\u201d style board.<\/p>\n

We consistently find the Isle boards to be among the best looking\u00a0isup boards. Call us superficial, but we think it feels good to look good out on the water. And for those who are rightfully concerned with function over form, there may be even more to offer here in that department.<\/p>\n

Again, many beginning riders may want to save a couple of hundred dollars and stick with a more traditional shape (try Isle\u2019s Airtech 10\u2019 or Tower\u2019s Adventurer 2 10\u20194\u201d, for example). But for the small price bump on the Airtech 12\u20196\u201d, Isle has made available to beginning and intermediate riders a great design type that\u2019s usually only attainable with much more expensive, rigid boards.<\/p>\n

This board is a Touring style design. That means it\u2019s a longer board, ideal for building up speed over larger distances. For more novice users, the large board can be nice simply for the added stability and control \u2014 the narrow hull design nose makes a big difference with speed, while the thickness of the board keeps it very stable and comfortable. If you want an even bigger board to consider the Tower Explorer 14\u2019. The quality of the craftsmanship on both of these boards is excellent, but that board will give you an extra foot and a half for super-stability and long-distance speed. Stick with the Isle Airtech 12\u20196\u201d to maintain a bit more lightness (and save $150).<\/p>\n
