Here at SUP Mag UK we’re keen to lay our hands on new
products – especially ones from fledgling brands such as
Neptune SUP. Their 10ft Allrounder has been getting a bit of
attention in the world of social media and we wanted to
check out what the fuss was about.

waist/shoulder high sets the
Allrounder comes off the
bottom smoothly and is
happy being sent full chat
into a crumbling lip.
Coming in good looking bamboo veneer finish
with black wrap around rails and deck, the 10ft
is certainly distinctive. Designed for a mix
of flat water and small/moderate waves,
we were keen to get it wet.
Jumping on board,
the Allrounder offers a stable ride
with its full rounded nose rising just
above coastal chop and flotsam. In
a straight line it was fine at
covering distance, although if this
is your thing then check out the
brand’s Race/Cruiser (also
reviewed).
During testing a number of
other riders commented
how similar it looked to a
traditional
longboard surfboard. And
we concur – as much as the
10ft Neptune Allround is
good on the flat, it’s a real
treat once out in
some moderate surf.
As much as the Neptune
10ft Allrounder is billed as ‘do it
all’ we feel it’s actually kick ass
as a nose riding longboard style
surf SUP. Dropping into
Prices:
£549.00 (regardless of
size) or £649.00 for the
Pro version (+£100 more
to include adjustable
carbon paddle)
Neptune also offers a Pro version
that comes with carbon rails and
carbon honeycomb performance
fins.
CONCLUSION
Neptune’s
10ft Allrounder is a
stable yet lively
platform capable of
cruising around your
local spot and checking
out the coastline.
However it really starts
to shine once the waves
turn on. Taking drops
with ease, feeling loose
from the tail, the 10fter
loves a liquid wall and
flatters those with a
longboard paddle surf
riding style. Good for
beginner surfers or
those looking for
a moderate surf wave
board.
