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.

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 ISLE Voyager Paddle Board deserves a closer look if that kind of long-distance touring is what you’re after.
