Introducing the Yachtsman by Tower, a Premium Inflatable SUP
The Yachtsman inflatable paddle board by Tower is a beautiful addition to the Tower line-up. Designed to compliment even the finest boats, the Yachtsman is one of the world's finest inflatable paddle boards. The grooved wood deck inspired deck pad matched with the traditional blue and white colors popular among boating enthusiasts, means this iSUP will look right at home tied up to even the finest yachts in the world.
This full package includes a 10'4" by 32" by 6" premium inflatable SUP, a high-pressure hand pump, a Tower branded 3-piece adjustable Fiberglass paddle, a high-end Tower branded deck pad that emulates the signature teak wood strip look high-end yachts, a 2+1 fin configuration with a removable center fin, a hand hold strap, a roll-up carrying strap, an extra handle in the front and back, and a leash attachment ring on the tail.
A Giant Leap forward in Inflatable SUP Design
Frankly, virtually all 4" inflatable SUPs (which is pretty much all inflatable SUPs on the market) leave a lot to be desired. That's putting it nicely. They sag in the middle and ride low in the water so you end up standing in a puddle of cold water, which is miserable. The sagging and undulating ride also slows you down. The 6" thick, military grade Yachtsman by Tower Inflatable SUP is dramatically more rigid, plus it floats higher in the water so no wet feet. But this is only one of many advances that set the Yachtsman by Tower Inflatable SUP apart from the competition.
Amazing Rigidity
The Yachtsman inflatable paddle board is made from extremely rugged materials like those you would find on the highly regarded Zodiac boats and extreme river rafts. The amazing rigidity in the Yachtsman is created by thousands of vertically oriented strands of identical length that connect the top deck to the bottom. When inflated, they form a structure that has the rigidity of a piece of plywood, and the thicker you go the exponentially more rigid it gets.
You'll be amazed. We can literally put the front tip of the 10'4" x 6" Yachtsman on one chair and the rear tip on another chair and a 200 lb person can stand in the middle and you can barely see the thing flex. Do this with most 4" inflatable SUPs and they will taco almost to the floor. Even 3/4" plywood flooring would probably break over this almost 10' span.
A Viable EPS/Epoxy Board Alternative - We're not kidding!
Traditionally, inflatable SUPs were only a consideration for traveling - store one in the cuddy cabin on your yacht, take it with you on the plane, or haul it into that secret mountain lake or river and you can stand up paddle board in the farthest corners of the earth. With the rigidity of the Yachtsman by Tower, an inflatable SUP is now also a viable EPS/Epoxy board alternative for anyone who isn't a die-hard surfer. And it still enjoys all the storage and transportation advantages because it's an inflatable paddle board.
Benefits of an Inflatable SUP over an EPS/Epoxy board
- Easier to store - When rolled up, it's 1 foot in diameter and 33" wide.
- Indestructible - Never worry again about dings and board cracks. I've literally thrown these things off a 2nd story deck and I frequently set it down anywhere (gravel, a parking lot, even on cement stairs).
- Easier to transport - No need for roof racks. About the size of a rolled sleeping bag, it easily fits in any car or boat, can be checked on a plane, and can even be strapped onto a bicycle or motorcycle.
- Softer - You can literally play bumper boats with these. Kids can jump from one board to the other like they're jumping on an inner tube. You won't get knocked out in the waves either.
- Easy on the feet - While very rigid, the air does cushion your feet a lot more than a hard board, no matter how good the deck pad is.
