Body Glove Performer SUP with a GoPro mounted to the bow What is the weight limit for the Body Glove Performer 11?

Secondly, they also go in one of these directions in terms of type of fins: snap/slide in, or screwplate fins (which involve hand tightening a small screw and washer inside the track of a plate to lock in a fin). There are many many ISUP packages available these days, some of which are cheap and will likely fail when the drop-stitch fibers separate from the top or bottom sheets.

Even in calm conditions, it takes a few more paddle strokes than thinner, lighter boards to change directions. The final thing that we’d like to make mention of is the design of the Performer 11 — this is a great looking board. If they’re still available at Costco — and I’m not sure they are because Costco is notorious for selling out of seasonal items and never bringing them back — I’d act now. I found this new and improved Performer 11' iSUP to be very stable and efficient to paddle through flat water but thanks to the rockered nose it was also fun to surf on river waves and holes. It has a heavy duty zipper that zips around all three sides making it very easy to get the board in and out of the bag.

The heavy, 3-piece paddle that comes with the Performer has a good shape but is not powerful enough to propel this board efficiently. While it is stable by width it is also sleek by design, which makes for an easy board to cruise the inter-coastal waterways and circumnavigate your local lakes and rivers. Note: For your best performance, be sure to pump it up to at least 13 psi if you’re a heavier adult like me.Though, Body Glove does include two small D-rings on either side on the back of the board, for tying down something larger like a cooler. Their growing lineup of inflatable paddle boards features ten models for 2019, ranging in size from 10 feet to 15 feet in length.

The kit is housed in a plastic canister with a screw on lid, and inside is a valve wrench as well as two oversized PVC patches. I wanted to give a quick shout-out to the American Canoe Association (ACA) free online paddling course.If you want to get out on the water right away and top-tier performance isn't required, grab a Body Glove Performer and go have some fun with your kids and pets. The lightweight design is 34 inches wide and makes for an extra stable platform making paddling with kids and even paddleboard yoga easy. To allow for the tow notch, which a cupped section of plastic on the nose of the board that you can rest a standard ski rope into to tow the board without damaging it.
