REVIEWS
The primary advantage of iSUPs is their portability , and the Hyper excels in this area , being reasonably light in weight and fitting snugly into the included backpack ( made from recycled plastic bottles ), making it easy to transport with ample storage space for the board and accessories . The flattened bungee cords , as opposed to the usual ropes , were easy to use , and they ’ re just that little more secure . The 12 ’ 6 ” has plenty of potential to carry extra baggage with the cords both front and rear plus four D-rings on the deck .
The Hyper offers impressive value for its price point . While it may not be the cheapest inflatable paddleboard on the market , it more than justifies its cost with its quality construction and performance .
CONCLUSION
The Hyper is a standout inflatable paddleboard that delivers performance and value . It ’ s sturdy construction , versatile design , and thoughtful accessories make it an excellent choice for paddlers of all levels . Whether you ’ re a beginner looking to embark on your SUP journey or an experienced rider seeking a dependable and versatile board , the Hyper offers the perfect blend of stability , manoeuvrability , and affordability .
