Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board- Introducing the Tower Adventurer
Includes a 9'10" by 32" by 6" inflatable SUP, a high-end Tower branded diamond grooved deck pad with a rear kick tail, a 2+1 fin configuration with a removable center fin, a hand hold strap, a roll-up carrying strap, a towing ring on the nose, and a leash attachment ring on the tail.
A Giant Leap forward in Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Design
Frankly, virtually all 4" inflatable SUPs (which is pretty much all inflatable stand up paddle boards 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 Tower Adventurer Inflatable stand up paddle board 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 Tower Adventurer Inflatable paddle board apart from the competition.

Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board - Amazing Rigidity
The Tower Adventurer Inflatable stand up paddle board is made from extremely rugged materials like those you'd find on the highly regarded Zodiac boats and extreme river rafts. The amazing rigidity in the Adventurer 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 wooden sup, and the thicker you go the exponentially more rigid it gets. You'll be amazed. We can literally put the front tip of the 9'10" x 6" Tower Adventurer 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 stand up paddle boards 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 stand up paddle boards 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'll can stand up paddle board in the farthest corners of the earth. With the rigidity of the Tower Adventurer, an inflatable stand up paddle board is now also a viable EPS/Epoxy board alternative for anyone who isn't a die-hard surfer.
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. It fits perfectly into our inflatable backpack so you can bring it anywhere.
- 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.
- Less expensive - Which also makes it a great idea as a second board for travel or guests.
Warning - Beware of cheap inflatable SUP packages
Be careful when buying cheap inflatable stand up paddle boards. While they may be lighter, they lose rigidity and durability in this newer construction process and are much lower quality boards overall. They likely won't last your more than a few months. For a product that is relatively expensive its better to buy a quality inflatable paddle board that your know will last you a long time.
The Tower Adventurer Inflatable SUP is amazingly priced because we sell it direct. It's a high-end, well designed, and well considered inflatable SUP, but at a direct to market price. Just because it is priced about the same, please don't confuse it with many of the cheap inflatable SUP packages on the market, which are characterized by many issues including:
- Poorly designed detachable fins that frequently fall off during use.
- Ridiculously short 3-piece paddle board paddle of questionable quality that are "bundled in", yet essentially useless.
- Cheap bags that are "bundled in", yet you'll never use. A simple strap works fine.
- A seriously annoying sagging issue which leads to wet feet.
- Cheapest available, uncomfortable traction pads.
- At 4" thick, not suitable floatation-wise for heavier paddlers.
- Questionably designed inflation pumps that come apart.
- Pressure gauges that are not integrated into the pump, so you have to pump, detach, check inflation, air pump for inflatables, detach, check, etc.
- Lack of a surf leash attachment or towing attachment.
