These paddleboards are very stable and ideal for vacation paddlers. They are a bit wider than other paddleboards, which makes them great for flat water to moderate windy conditions. They are suitable for one adult or a larger child and may sometimes be used with one adult and one toddler-sized child. Because of their size, these paddleboards are also suitable for larger and/or taller paddlers.
Standup Paddleboards
These kayaks are very stable for touring kayaks. They are a bit longer and heavier than our other sit-on-top kayaks, which makes them track better. They are suitable for one adult or a larger child and may sometimes be used with one adult and one toddler-sized child. Because of their size, these kayaks are also suitable for larger and/or taller paddlers.

Tribe 10' Sit-On-Top Kayak
These paddleboards are ideal for vacation paddlers. They are easy to transport because they are very light. Inflatable paddleboards ride a bit higher in the water and are popular for use on moving water. Because they are light in weight, they are not ideal for traveling into the middle of the lake, more suitable for paddling in bays and along the shoreline of lakes.
Inflatable Standup Paddleboards
*Pets and dogs are always welcome on all our equipment.
