Paddle Board Highlights
Who is it for?
If you’re looking for a standup paddle board that was designed and built with the female paddler in mind look no further. The Surftech Jetsetter is a board that is great for all around paddling but can also dabble in touring and even some yoga. The board is lightweight and easy to carry and is also quite stable. This board is going to work better for paddlers on the smaller size due to the lower volume and overall thickness of the board. Depending on the size you go with the board ranges in price from $999-$1,049 and is a beautiful package for an affordable price.
First Impressions
The Surftech Jetsetter is the product of a collab between Surftech and Pura Vida. The board comes in two different sizes 10’4 and 11’4 with the colorways being slightly different between the two. The graphics here are phenomenal and absolutely gorgeous. With primarily pink colorways the board is targeted more towards the female paddler but men can easily love and appreciate the design here. While not included, the board also has a matching paddle and leash combo that, when put together, make the package one of the most gorgeous on the market. Carrying the board is made easy in part due to the weight of the board but also the handle that allows for a full grip. The shape of the board makes it more geared towards touring with the nose of the board being at more of a point than rounded and it also has a nice little rocker to it. On the water, the board paddled nice and smooth and even somewhat fast. The board also felt stable and was easy to turn. This board is perfect for anyone who is looking to glide with friends anywhere from around the dock to up to two miles or so. This board is a great option for smaller paddlers however larger paddlers might need to either size up to the 11’2 to get more stability and float from the board. Long story short, if you’re a smaller paddler that loves a great design, both graphically and in shape, with good quality and fair pricing, the Jetsetter is a great option.
