Who is it for?

The Body Glove Performer 11 GTS is designed for paddlers who want a true all-around inflatable that prioritizes stability, value, and convenience without requiring aftermarket upgrades. With its 11' x 34" x 5.4" dimensions and 320 lb capacity, this board is particularly well suited for beginners, larger paddlers, and families looking for a confidence-inspiring platform.

The widened nose and generous width create a stable standing area that works well for casual cruising, light fitness paddling, and beginner yoga, while the fish-style tail enhances balance and predictability when shifting weight. Its Clear Tek Drop Stitch construction focuses on maximizing rigidity at a lower price point, making it approachable for paddlers who want stability over performance-oriented speed.

This board also appeals strongly to paddlers who value simplicity and completeness. The inclusion of an electric pump, paddle, leash, and travel bag removes friction from the setup process, making it ideal for those new to inflatables or anyone looking for a hassle-free, ready-to-go SUP. At its price point—especially through Costco—the Performer 11 GTS offers exceptional accessibility for recreational paddlers who want everything included.

First Impressions

Right away, the 2025 Performer 11 GTS feels noticeably more refined than previous iterations. The updated shape—with a wider nose and swallow-style tail—adds visible stability both on land and on the water. The board looks balanced and purposeful, with thoughtful design updates that clearly prioritize ease of use and rider comfort.

On the water, the board feels very stable and forgiving. Initial balance is immediate, making it easy to stand, paddle, and move around the deck without hesitation. The added width up front contributes to a planted feel, while the tail shape helps maintain control when shifting stance or paddling in light chop.

Glide is solid and efficient for an all-around board, especially considering its width. It’s not designed for speed, but it tracks smoothly and paddles with minimal effort, making it enjoyable for relaxed sessions and longer casual outings.

The feature set stands out at this price point. The toolless removable center fin, integrated paddle holder, and included electric pump significantly elevate the overall experience. Setup is quick, transport is straightforward, and everything needed to paddle is included right out of the box—no additional purchases required.

Overall, the 2025 Body Glove Performer 11 GTS feels like a well-executed evolution of an already popular platform. The stability improvements, thoughtful shape updates, and unmatched value make it one of the strongest turnkey inflatables in its category. For its performance, accessibility, and price-to-feature ratio, the Performer 11 GTS earns a Supconnect A-Grade, standing out as an excellent all-around option for recreational paddlers.

Benefits

  • Primary Use

    All-Around Use

    Paddle Boards fall into two broad categories, All-Around and Specialty boards, with all-around designed primarily for recreation while speciality boards for top performance in specific disciplines

  • Durability

    Durable

    Durability is largely a result of the board construction and shape, with more durable boards typically carrying more materials (added layers, PVC, etc) and as such adding to the weight.

  • Carrying

    Easy

    Carrying ease is determined by board weight and handle type, where a board weighing under 20lbs with a Liftsup handle is extremely easy to carry while a 35+lbs board quite difficult.

  • Stability

    Very Stable

    Stability is a product of construction and shape, where boards w/ 30”+ wide and 200+ liters in volume offer plenty of stability for your AVG adult while a board under 26” wide is a challenge.

  • Glide

    Average

    Glide is a result of board shape and construction, w/ boards weighing under 30lbs and designed for racing offering best glide while recreational boards normally being on the slow side.

Features

  • Dimensions

    11' x 34" x 5.4"

    Industry standard in board dimensions reads: L (length, from nose to tail) x W (width, from rail to rail at midpoint length), and H (height, from top to bottom of board at midpoint length).

  • Weight

    23.8 lbs

    Standup paddle boards tend to fall into 4 different weight classes: extremely lightweight (under 20 lbs), lightweight (20-28 lbs), average weight (28-35 lbs), heavy (above 35 lbs).

  • Volume

    Unknown L

    Volume is a key metric to determine how much weight a board can carry. Boards w/ 200+ liters offer most floatation with boards under 150 liters typically for high-performance surf.

  • Capacity

    320 lbs / 145kg

    Capacity is the max cargo weight a stand up paddle board can carry, considering not only the paddler’s weight but whatever else the paddler may choose to carry alongside him/her

  • Handle

    Strap

    Handles directly affect carrying ease, with external grip handles (Liftsup & EZgrab) offering most comfort, Internal Ergo Grip the mid-tier comfort, and box handles as least comfortable.

  • Holders

    Yes

    Fishing rod holders and/or paddle holders can make paddling that much more pleasant, esp. when needing holders for the rod or having a safe place for the paddle during yoga.
