Sroka Paddleboards has a large selection of SUP boards that are popular with their customers! This SUP company’s main goal is to provide high-quality SUP boards that are also affordable!
SUP boards are not the only thing available from this company; there are also SUP accessories. Does their diverse selection of SUPs impress you? Let me know as I review their paddle board line-up!
This Board Is Most Suitable For
The Sroka Girly paddleboard is part of the many diverse company’s SUP boards.
This paddle board’s name does not imply that it is only for women to use. The use would be determined by the SUP’s performance and what makes it convenient for riders!
The Sroka Girly Paddleboard comes in three sizes: 10′, 11’6″, and 12’6″. Currently, the 12’6 isn’t available, and I received the 10′ and 11’6″ to review only.
Before I start, I want to note that each size may have the same design, but they are different in terms of function, performance, and price! Each paddle board will be discussed in detail below.
One thing that each size has in common is that Fusion Technology was used to provide paddlers with an outstanding performance on the water. I tested this paddleboard and will give you my final verdict after I give you the details of the Sroka Girly paddle board. I won’t linger on this introduction, so let’s get to know them better!
To test is to believe! π

What Makes This Stand-Up Paddle Board Stand Out
What characterizes the Girly Sroka paddle board? Although they have different sizes, they used Fusion Technology for the 10′ and 11’6″ paddle boards to give you excellent performance on the water, as well as 3 layers of PVC rails, making your paddle board stiff and durable!
Both paddle boards have a simple design and great color options, especially when you’re paddling on the water!
Should I say the color options are tailor-made for women? The materials used are of high quality, and I had no issues with the pump I received because I could inflate the paddleboard smoothly!
Both paddle boards have comfortably raised EVA pads, and you will receive a paddle board with clear instructions in case you purchase your SUP for the first time! And don’t forget that all their paddle boards come with a two-year warranty!
However, you should be aware of some differences between the sizes of this paddle board. This is now dependent on what you want from a paddle board. See the list below for a comparison.
βοΈGirly 10′
The Sroka Girly paddle board 10′ is an All-Around paddle board with soft and round rails for a smooth glide. This SUP board is 5′ thick to provide stability on the water, and it has a rounded nose and square tail to optimize your stability while out on the water.
This SUP will also provide you with good speed while remaining stable. The Sroka Girly paddle board 10 has three removable fins that are simple to install! This paddle board is great for beginners. Excellent SUP for having fun on the water!
βοΈGirly 11’6
The Sroka Girly paddle board 11’6 is a touring paddle board with only one fin, a US center fin box for more extreme play on the water.
This SUP strikes the perfect balance between lightness and speed.
Again, because of its stability, this paddleboard is ideal for sporty rides. What distinguishes this SUP from the 10′ is that the SUP bag for this variant has wheels, making it easier to use!
Although a beginner can try this paddle board if they want to learn more, this is great for those with advanced skills because they can do extremes in the water with the Sroka Girly paddle board 11’6!
Primary use:
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 10‘
All-Around
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 11’6“
Touring
Speed on the water
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 10′: Because of its tight outline and narrow board, the Sroka Girly paddle board provides excellent speed. This would allow you to maintain your speed while moving your SUP board while also maintaining its stability.
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 11’6″: The 11’6 Sroka Girly paddle board has been designed to improve the glide of the Girly 10′ while maintaining excellent handling. Because the board is lightweight, you will achieve great speed! The ideal paddle board for those seeking extreme adventure on the water.
Transport
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 10′: The Girly 10′ comes with a basic SUP bag with a compartment that is large enough to carry everything. The SUP bag in this variant does not include wheels. However, there is a removable neoprene carrying handle, which I think is a great feature! No problem with transporting your SUP at all!
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 11’6: In comparison to the 10′, the Girly Sroka paddle board 11’6 has a nice bag with wheels, making it easier to transport! It is also large enough to carry all of your SUP’s accessories! It also has a detachable neoprene carrying handle that you can use while out on the water.
Stability
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 10′: Because of its width, the Girly 10′ will provide you with a very stable platform to paddle on. The rocker is very large, so you are not affected by waves.
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 11’6: The board floats flat in the water, has a little rocker, and glides easily over and through the water. The board cuts through the plate when there are waves. Because it is closer to the water, the 5β² thickness provides more stability on the board.
My Own Experience
Taking my experience for the Girly 10′ and 11’6, the only difference between the boxes is that you can read which board is inside. The equipment is well packed.
Unfortunately, it is instantly obvious that it does not include a paddle or a leash. This is a negative for me because to go on paddling,Β you need a paddle, and for safety, a leash should be included in the package.
Other than that, these are high-quality SUPs made of durable PVC. Both boards are also pleasant to the eye! I also liked the simple design and color combinations used on both!
When I look at the fins, I notice that they are fine fins and easy to use. Instead of the two standard side fins that are always on the Girly 10, they have three slide-in fins so you can choose how many you want to use.
The Girly 11’6 uses one US fin box. I have a complaint about the US Fin box because it keeps sliding around inside the box, which is very inconvenient! I hope they will fix that.
The handle for the SUP board is separated. It can be found in the repair kit. What’s nice is that you can remove the handle after supping so that it can dry separately from the board. It’s a neoprene carrying handle that’s easy to grasp just in case you need it!
The included pump is a dual-action pump, which means it can pump in both directions. Both dual and single action is enjoyable to use. It took me five minutes to inflate the Girly 11’6″ while Girly 10 has less volume, the time will be a little shorter.
The instruction manual that comes with it is straightforward. The instructions are available in a variety of languages. This instruction also explains how to roll up the board properly.
What I like is how nicely each board is finished. The D-ring on the back of the board is nicely integrated into the foam pad, which runs from the back to the bungee cord in one piece. The board lacks a kick-pad, which would have been a nice addition. Both boards do not have any additional D-rings for a kayak seat.
The board’s valve is located in the front. Most boards I’ve seen so far have it at the back near the fin. However, I find it much easier if the valve is in the front because you always start at the fin side when rolling up the board. That way, you can roll out the air.
Because of its short length and low volume, the Girly 10′ is extremely maneuverable. With one step back, you can quickly turn the board around. While the 11’6 board is very maneuverable when used correctly. Because it has almost no rocker, the entire board is submerged. This makes turning a little trickier.
I’ll be honest, I’m not happy because it doesn’t come with a paddle or a leash, both of which are essential! You would spend extra money on truly necessary accessories! And by the way, this has a 2-year warranty for both boards!

Fins
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 10′ : 3 removable fins
βοΈSroka Girly paddle board 11’6: US center fin box
Material
Both boards make use of the best drop stitch and PVC on the market. As a result, regardless of its primary use, this paddleboard is durable and sturdy. The boards will be stiffened by the three layers of PVC on the rails. Fusion Technology is used by both boards. Trying this SUP board provided me with a comfortable, easy-to-maneuver, and rigid SUP board!
Inflate / deflate
I was able to inflate the 11’6 SUP board for 15 minutes using the dual action pump included in the package. However, because it has less volume, the 10′ will give you less time to pump. The time it takes to inflate depends on how you pump. However, to speed up the process, I recommend my absolute best OM Shark II electric pump.
Warranty
The Sroka Girly Paddleboards come with a two-year warranty.
Design
The Sroka Girly paddle boards have a simple design, and I liked the colors used. The Girly 10′ is intended as an all-around paddle board that beginners will enjoy due to its stability on the water.
The 11’6 is intended for extreme riding and is best suited for advanced riders. It is a touring paddle board with a constant curve for easy gliding over chop waters!
In The Package
SUP Backpack
The Girly 10′ SUP bag is a basic bag, but it is of excellent quality! It is also spacious because all of the accessories can be stored conveniently. Transportable and lightweight.
The 11’6 is superior because it is already a wheeled bag, which means transportation will be much easier. It’s spacious and of high quality, just like the Girly 10′!
Pump
The package included a dual-action pump. This pump was simple to use for me! However, for my convenience, I would continue to use my electric SUP pump!
I used the OM Shark II electric pump to finish inflating the paddle board!
Instruction Manual
Because this paddleboard was made by a French company, it comes with an instruction manual that is both clear and translated into other languages. It also includes instructions for rolling up your Sroka Girly paddle boards!
Carrying Handle
Both boards’ carrying handles are not attached to the SUP board. It is visible in the repair kit. This simply means that the neoprene carrying handle can be removed, which I thought was a nice touch.
Fin
The Sroka Girly paddle board 10′ comes with 3 removable fins while the 11’6 has a single US center fin box.
Repair Kit
For minor scratches, a repair kit is included, or you can apply patches to your SUP board if something would happen.
