The Global Paddling Community

Boardworks proudly offers the Great Bear. In collaboration with Canadian team ambassador, Norm Hann, this SUP is designed to be the ultimate tour and expedition board.

The Aquaglide Impulse series offers an economical way to get into the sport, with several practical features that make them great for sharing with friends and family. There are three sizes, each designed with stability and easy access in mind. The 9’6” is a really fun little board that spins on a dime. It gives you a surprising amount of floatation for its size, yet is still light and easy to handle on and off the car. The Impulse technology features a lightweight hand-shaped EPS core, reinforced with wood stringers and hand laminated with fiberglass and epoxy resin. The deck is finished with a diamond cut PE foam deckpad, with EVA rails and integrated EVA nose and tail bumpers that can take lots of knocks without damaging anything. The bottom is a durable epoxy/fiberglass skin. All boards come with deck inserts for lashing a life jacket or bag, a molded carry handle, and fin.

Paddling whitewater rivers is all about dealing with opposing hydraulic forces, and requires a craft that can remain stable in a chaotic environment. The Mountain Valley Paddleboard (MVP) takes the best of whitewater kayak design and combines it with Badfish’s years of experience creating river surfing boards into the ultimate whitewater stand up boards.

New for 2015, the idea behind Project Cobra was to create a short, higher volume, river surfing SUP that would shred the smallest, tightest river waves out there.

A SUP for touring and for fitness paddling on lakes and rivers. The displacement hull tracks superbly, letting you put in more strokes on either side. This longer version is best suited to heavier paddlers or gear-intensive touring.

Pull off more forward strokes as you paddle for fitness or tour to the far edge of the lake. The displacement hull is a good size for mid-weight paddlers, and it tracks straight and true so you make fewer sweeps and faster progress.

Take a tour or just go paddling for fun and fitness. The displacement hull tracks superbly on flat water or rivers, letting you put in more strokes on either side. This shorter version is best suited to lighter paddlers or fitness paddling on calm waters.

A big, stable SUP for large paddlers and those who want to bring along a dog or even a friend. The solid platform rides nicely on flat water, is great for fitness paddling and encourages beautiful, graceful SUP yoga poses. A great choice for beginner paddlers or those new to SUP yoga.

For just about anything from flatwater, to fitness to surfing and even SUP yoga. The stable design suits beginners on flat water or paddlers venturing into surfier conditions. It tracks superbly, letting you develop skills and efficient strokes on either side.

A general purpose board for lighter paddlers, fitness paddlers, SUP surfing and those new to SUP. It's stable on flatwater and good for those ready to explore the surf. If you’re already an experienced surfer and on the bigger side, many excellent rides await you.

A short, sweet board for experienced SUP surfers looking to up their game. The set of 5 fins lets you set it up for however the curls are running.

The wide thumb tail works well in small surf also as it provides solid drive. As you exit your bottom turn, the board actually seems to squirt out instead of losing speed, making it really easily connect your turns. Pair the El Ocho with just about any surf, works best in 4+ and we have surfed it in overhead conditions with big smiles many times. Compared to the Hipster, the Ocho’s narrower outline is easier to get on rail at high speeds and larger surf. Very stable board, have had intermediate level 215lbs guys surf the rails off this shape. This is the board you will find Mr Jeramie Vaine on most days.

At 9.2 x 31 the Chub is the longest of our new line of accessible performance shapes. With a blown up short board inspired outline, this shape blasts through mush sections with a stomp on the wide squash tail while the pulled nose provides less swing weight for maneuvers. The rocker was kept low for this shape to maximize drive and speed. A great board for Florida style peaky waves but it can handle whatever you throw at it. We surfed this on Big Wednesday in SoCal and had the fins whistling on some 10-12ft waves. More suited towards larger riders that want a performance feel but also great for anyone who is moving down from the traditionally long surf SUPs of years past while still looking for stability.
