Pros and Cons of Nixy Huntington G4 Ultra Compact
What Makes Nixy Huntington G4 Ultra Compact Stand Out
The Huntington Ultra Compact is designed for beginner to intermediate paddle boarders looking for a travel-friendly board. The board is small and loaded with features, but it isn’t cluttered. All of the features are very functional and usable. You’ll really appreciate them while on your paddling adventures.
What you need to be careful of when looking at a lightweight paddle board is that it doesn’t weigh less because of thinner materials. That’s not the case with the Huntington G4. This board is constructed properly so that it is still compact and light yet durable and strong.
The NIXY Huntington is made with dual-layer woven drop stitch material with fusion technology and has reinforced carbon side rails for added rigidity.
One of the first things that stands out most between the two boards (Compact) is the fact that the deck pad is split into two parts. This allows you to fold the sup in half vertically, making the Ultra-Compact folded-up dimensions smaller than almost any inflatable SUP out there.
Unlike the Compact series, the deck pad on the Huntington G4 Ultra-Compact does not feature any groves and follows the flat EVA deck pad design of the Venice and Monterey boards. These flat designs are usually meant for cruising boards which all of the above is meant for.
For this reason, NIXY is able to make a smaller iSUP that is very light and compact yet still very strong. At the front nose of this board, there is a smaller 4-point bungee system with adjustable and removable bungees that can be used for storing a small dry bag, your flip-flops, or a water bottle.
The back 6-point bungee system is slightly larger and able to hold more gear. With both bungee cargo systems, there is decent space to load up with any gear you’d like to bring along for the ride. Also, both bungees are reachable from the center of the board for easy access.
