Pro’s

  • A good amount of storage room on the front and rear of the board
  • A great board that can evolve with your skill level
  • Accessories that come with the board are high quality 
  • Ability to customize the board with M8 Mounts
  • Customer service is very responsive
  • Great customer satisfaction ratings
  • Great on-water maneuverability
  • Great backpack, with a ton of space for your board + gear
  • High weight capacity considering board weight
  • Its speed and glide impressed me
  • Lightweight and easy to carry and maneuver, it is stable on Calm waters
  • Probably the best pump available
  • Single best kit paddle we have seen to date – full carbon and has a great feel
  • The board is well thought out and designed, rigid and stable, ideal for beginners
  • Tracks very well for a 33” wide board
  • The SUP bag looks sleek and beautiful.
  • Well built quality construction – dual layer fusion + carbon fiber rails
  • The bag features a big zipper that makes it simple to place the SUP
  • It also has wheels, making it simple to transport
  • Nice graphics and colors, cool hip design, especially on the back
  • Large deckpad, convenient for the very experienced yogi and nice and soft

Cons

  • Limited nose cargo space. I’d like to see them move the d-rings up more towards the nose of the board and expand the front bungee area.
  • Carbon strips make it hard to roll/fold the SUP
  • The outline of the deck pad could use some work (glue came off a portion that contours the D rings) 
  • The bag could be too bulky for those wanting to go on a hike
  • Glue residue everywhere
  • Elastic on the left side of the SUP (inconvenient for paddling)
  • All three fins feel loose when placed, so they need to be fixed.

What Makes Newport G4 Paddle Board Stand Out?

The NIXY Newport G4 paddle board in 10’6” is a popular choice for a beginner-friendly and affordable all-around paddle board. With fusion technology and carbon fiber rails, the Newport is very rigid and sturdy, making it ideal for beginners or advanced paddle boarders who want to bring along their furry companion or a friend.

It has a high weight capacity that adds to the board’s stability on the water while also being lightweight; this makes it ideal for traveling and carrying to and from the water. The overall quality seems excellent. The Newport feels solid and very rigid when fully inflated. You can see that in the picture below where I’m standing on it and the SUP doesn’t bend at all.
Every part of the board has been well thought out.

It is somehow similar to the 10’8” Cruise from Bluefin, except the G4 may be a little more maneuverable and has extra width for slightly more stability.

I noticed how stable it was right off the bat; it was a comfortable ride. Therefore, it can also be used for other SUP activities, such as fishing, fitness, or photography.

It also feels great to just stop and chill out while paddling on calm water. You can lay or sit comfortably and not feel like you’re going to roll over in the water.

Overall, the Nixy Newport G4 paddle board is an affordable and ideal recreational SUP for individuals looking to get into paddle boarding or for those looking for a recreational touring board.

With quite a few features, it will also satisfy even more advanced paddlers.

It is also relatively smooth and efficient on the water, making it ideal for long expeditions.

There is a ton of storage onboard, including Velcro loops on the side for your paddle, and the entire deck pad is remarkably comfortable. Because of the taller sides of the board, it is raised above the water and can effortlessly be set off course on windy days.
