The Best Lightweight Paddle Boards for Sale Currently

The Atoll paddleboard company hails from southern California.  The have taken a simple and direct approach to paddleboards.  Atoll focuses on building the strongest and lightest iSUP around, with this board weighing only 19 pounds.

Why is the Atoll Army Green SUP good for beginners?  Because it's an inflatable, and there that means it's forgiving.  If you bump into a dock, a boat, another paddler, or even a swimmer, they will not be hurt.  

It's a reasonably priced complete package - you don't need to spend an arm and a leg on your first paddleboard.

This Atoll SUP can handle a variety of conditions from flat water, to touring, to rivers and small waves.  

And this SUP is tough.  A beginner won't have to worry about damaging it.  You can even drive an SUV over it.

The Atoll iSUP Package comes with everything you need to quickly get on the water.  The pump is a dual-action pump which means it inflates when you pull the handle up, and when you push down, cutting your inflating time in half.

A coil leash, removable center fin, and carrying and storage backpack are included.  The backpack is built with heavy duty nylon and big enough to hold everything your need, including the pump.  

So if you are an adventurous paddler, that like to hike to hard-to-get-to lakes and have a SUP to explore on, then this package is for you.

This iSUP package comes with fiberglass paddle, but if you want to reduce weight even more you can opt for the 100% carbon fiber paddle for an additional cost.

Here at PaddleboardSurf we really like it when we see a strong warranty.  That means the manufacturer is confident in their product.  Atoll stands behind their iSUP with a 2 Year Manufacturer's Warranty.
