About the board:Looking for an inflatable standup paddle board that can convert into a kayak? Check the Tahe SUP-Yak. The SUP-Yak is priced starting at $530 and is among the most affordable paddle boards of quality that you can find. The SUP-Yak is great for beginner and experienced paddlers alike, is stable and very easy to carry. The SUP-Yak is offered in two sizes: a 10’6” and 11’6”. The 10’6” works for one paddler but the 11’6” can hold two paddlers so keep size in mind when you’re checking out this board. The board is best for short distance paddling, up to one or two miles max. Read more HERE.

Who is this for: The Beach Cross from Tahe is a great starter board for someone looking for a board that’s both versatile and affordable and very durable. The Beach Cross utilizes Tahe’s proprietary tough-tec technology which makes this board extremely tough and durable. The board has very minimal graphics and features nice pops of red and blue on the deckpad. The board comes with an FCS II tool-less 9” Dolphin Center Fin, a bungee attachment for either the nose or the tail of the board. The board is on the heavier side weighing in at just over 40lbs so it is difficult to carry, especially for paddlers on the smaller side. A nice feature of the board is that it includes a drink holder built-in to the deck. The Beach Cross is pretty versatile in design and can be used for all around paddling, fishing, yoga, and would be a good family board that can take a beating and last a long time. On the water the board was a bit slow and harder to turn due to the weight but was really stable even with boat wakes adding some wobble to the water’s surface. Overall, the board should be considered for beginner paddlers looking for something fairly affordable and extremely durable. Read more HERE.

Who is this for: If you’re looking for a non-inflatable paddle board that’s under $1k and is great for beginners, take a look at Tahe’s Breeze Performer. This paddle board utilizes Tahe’s Ace-Tec construction making it able to withstand more than paddleboards that are built with fiberglass. The Breeze Performer is a good board for beginners looking for a board that does well in a variety of conditions. Whether you want to do some all around paddling, catch a few waves, take a SUP yoga class or just have something that works well for the entire family this board can do just that. It is on the heavier side at just over 31lbs but carrying isn’t too difficult. Priced at $899 this is a solid board at a fair price. Read more HERE.
