Best For: Beginners on a Budget & Kids.

If you want to get on the water without breaking the bank, the Spinera Classic 9.10 is undefeated. It’s light, nimble, and comes as a complete package. But the real "2026" bonus? It now comes standard with a kayak seat in the box. This makes it the ultimate value-for-money option for families or beginners who want the safety net of sitting down if they get tired.

• 
  Why we love it: You get a full kayak conversion kit included for the price of a standard budget board.

£149.00

Best For: Hikers, City Dwellers & Van Lifers.

The "ULT" stands for Ultra Light Technology, and they aren't kidding. Weighing in at a fraction of standard PVC boards, the Light 11.2 is designed to be carried anywhere. It uses a high-tech woven dropstitch that sheds weight without losing stiffness. It packs down small, making it perfect for carrying on public transport or hiking to remote lakes.

• 
  Why we love it: It’s so light you can carry it inflated with just one finger.
  

£289.00

Best For: The "Do-It-All" Paddler.

This is the board for the paddler who wants one board to do everything well. The SupVenture Sunset features "Double Layer Technology" (DLT), making it significantly stiffer and more durable than single-layer budget boards. The 10'6" length is the classic all-rounder size—stable enough for yoga, agile enough for small waves, and fast enough for coastal cruising.

• 
  Why we love it: The durability is bombproof, and the "Sunset" graphic looks incredible on the water.

£249.00

Best For: The Indecisive Paddler.

Can't decide between a kayak and a paddleboard? The Supkayak 10.0 is the answer. Unlike standard SUPs with D-rings, this board features a recessed deck and a purpose-built shape that works genuinely well as both. Stand up and it’s a stable SUP; sit down and the lower centre of gravity makes it feel like a true sit-on-top kayak.

• Why we love it: It’s a genuine 2-in-1 watercraft, not just a SUP with a seat strap.

£399.00

Best For: Tandem Paddling & Larger Riders.

Size matters when you want to carry passengers. The Let's Paddle 12.4 is a beast of a board. At over 12 feet long and with extra volume, it can easily support an adult plus a child (or a large dog) without feeling tippy. Despite its size, the streamlined shape means it still glides well through the water.

• Why we love it: The massive weight capacity means nobody gets left on the shore.

£299.00

Best For: Long-distance cruising and rugged environments.

This board is built like a tank thanks to its Double Layer Technology, featuring reinforced PVC that makes it incredibly puncture-resistant and rigid. It’s designed to withstand rocky shorelines and years of heavy use without losing its shape.

• Why we love it: It’s virtually indestructible. You get the peace of mind of a professional-grade build that handles wear and tear better than almost anything in its class.

£299.00 

Best For: Premium Stability.

Aquaglide is famous for their inflatable kayaks, and they bring that same heavy-duty quality to the Cascade 10. It’s built with a focus on stability and durability, using a thicker construction that feels incredibly solid underfoot. It’s slightly wider than average, making it a fantastic platform for nervous beginners or fishing.

• Why we love it: The bombproof build quality we expect from Aquaglide in a SUP package.
  

£299.00

Best For: The Weekend Warrior.

Sitting nicely between the budget "Classic" and the premium "SupVenture," the Let's Paddle 10.4 is our best-selling "Goldilocks" board. It balances performance, weight, and price perfectly. It’s stable enough for beginners but responsive enough that you won't outgrow it after one season.

• Why we love it: It’s the reliable, no-nonsense choice that suits 90% of paddlers.
  

£249.00

Best For: Couples.

Take the hybrid concept of the Supkayak 10.0 and stretch it out. The Supkayak 12.0 offers enough deck space for two people to paddle in kayak mode or SUP mode. It’s the ultimate "couples therapy" tool—work together to paddle down the river, then anchor up and use it as a swim platform.

• Why we love it: It saves you buying two separate boards (or two kayaks!).

£499.00

Best For: Smaller Riders & Travel.

The little brother to the 11.2, the Light 10.6 ULT offers the same featherweight construction in a more maneuverable shape. It is fantastic for smaller riders or teenagers who struggle to carry standard heavy boards to the water's edge.

• Why we love it: Finally, a board that doesn't feel like a gym workout just to get it from the car to the beach.
