ISLE Surf and SUP is a big brand from the USA, active since 2004 and very focused on improving both inflatable paddle boards and epoxy paddle boards. Their current collection consists of 4 inflatable paddle boards and 6 hardboards. ISLE has a lot of knowledge about paddle boards and also offers a lot of buying guides and information about this.
Instead of making a huge collection of boards where a lot of boards overlap and have almost the same specs, they only focus on 10 core boards that have clear distinctions in between them. A lot better to get a clear overview and to make a choice between boards.
All their inflatable paddle boards are very popular, as for the hardboards mostly the ISLE Versa and Cruiser are searched and bought, mostly because these are the most all-around board in the hardboard collection.
An overview of the 2023 collection of ISLE SUP paddle boards below:

ISLE Inflatable Paddle Boards
ISLE Explorer 11’6
Board length: 11’6 / 350.5 cm
Board width: 32″ / 81.3 cm
Board thickness: 6″ / 15.2 cm
Board volume: 336L
Board weight: 24 LBS / 10.89 kg
Max. capacity: 300 LBS / 136 kg
Color: Green / Peach / Blue
The ISLE Explorer 11’6 is the longest board together with the Voyager (Megalodon excluded ofc.) and is the most suited for longer touring and possible going out with a second person (keep the weight limit in mind) and taking along a pet or a child. Or for taking your camping gear in the two luggage cords.
The Explorer is a touring SUP that is very stable. It is 11′ in length and 32″ wide. The additional size and stability make it the perfect touring/cruising SUP for you, your children, and any pets you may have.|
For your day on the water, make use of the storage spaces on both ends of your board. Don’t forget to pack extra sunscreen for the kids and some snacks for your pet! The deck pad also spans the majority of the area, making it the perfect surface for you to lay on and exercise or for the extra passengers to sit on.
ISLE Megalodon 12’/15′
Board length: 12′ / 15′
Board width: 45″ / 56″
Board thickness: 8″ – 20.3 cm
Board volume: 584L / 730L
Board weight: 34 LBS / 50 LBS – 15.4 kg / 22.7 kg
Max. capacity: 650 LBS / 1050 LBS – 294.8 kg / 476.3 kg
Color: Seafoam-Peach / Aqua-Navy
The ISLE Megalodon has already been mentioned in my “Best Giant Paddle Boards” guide and offers fun for your family or a whole group of friends, depending on the size. One of the best boards for multiple persons on the market, but the availability isn’t very good so you have to be lucky!
By looking at the name alone, you can reasonably infer what this inflatable SUP is all about. The Megalodon is designed for social enjoyment! Take the entire family out, or maybe the office needs a team-building exercise? Based on your crew, either a 12′ or 15′ variant.
You will have two paddles, a twin chamber pump, and lots of grab handles to help you maneuver this large boat about. You’ll have a blast on the Megalodon whether you want to try charging some waves or taking a leisurely paddle down the river with your friends.
ISLE Pioneer 10’6
Board length: 10’6 / 320 cm
Board width: 34″ / 86.3 cm
Board thickness: 6″ / 15.2 cm
Board volume: 326L
Board weight: 24 LBS / 10.89 kg
Max. capacity: 285 LBS / 129.3 kg
Color: Coral/Blue/ Seafoam/Aqua/Peach/Palm
The ISLE Pioneer 10’6 is a great inflatable Stand Up Paddle board for beginners and the most sold board in the ISLE collection. The extra wide platform offers a lot of stability, so it is a lot easier to stay stable on the board. Less speed because of this, so not so interesting for advanced paddle boarders.
