Paddle Board Highlights

Who is it for?

The SUPyak by Scott Burke is a SUP/kayak hybrid paddle board geared for beginner paddlers looking for a multi-purpose all around paddle board. The board is affordable and sits in the popular mid-tier market making it a great starter board that can work for the entire family. The board is stable but is slightly more difficult to carry than the average paddle board since it weighs just over 31lbs. The SUPyak is designed for recreational paddling and is best used paddling short distances around the beach and dock.

First Impressions

At first glance the SUPyak looks to be a durable board that’s thoughtfully designed for paddlers who want the mix of paddle boarding and kayaking or for the beginner paddler who has the option to sit and paddle should their legs get tired from standing. The graphics on the board are average-looking with the mix of wood and waves. The board has a number of added features that make it really functional like the paddle holder on the rail and the foot rests for when opting to sit. The board is fairly heavy making it difficult to carry thus making the glide of the board rather slow. The heavy construction does have its perks though as it helps the board stay durable allowing the board to be long lasting.

Benefits

  • Primary Use

    All Around

    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

    Average

    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

    Slow

    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
