1. Itiwit Touring SUP Board 12.6
The 'Itiwit Touring SUP Board 12.6' is a SUP board that has been specially developed for covering long distances. With a length of 12'6 (381 cm) and a width of 29'' (74 cm), it is an ideal board to move smoothly over the water. The board is specially designed for light people between 60 and 80 kg. They can therefore effortlessly make long trips with it.
Thanks to the thickness of 15 cm and a weight of 12 kg, the board is easy to transport. In addition, it is an inflatable SUP that can be inflated to 17 PSI and is equipped with a luggage elastic. This allows you to take a cool box, dry bag or other luggage on the water. Advantages:
- Suitable for beginners who like to cover long distances;
- Fairly cheap for a touring SUP;
- It is a combination of a touring/racing SUP.

Conclusion:
In practice, the board is extremely suitable for people between 60 and 80 kg who like to cover long distances. However, we see that the board is less stable in rough waters, such as at sea.
This is of course because the board is on the narrow side, but this makes it easier to move yourself across the water. In short, an ideal board for novice paddlers who like to make long trips .

Like most SUP boards, this type is 15 cm thick and weighs only 12 kg in total. This makes the board easy to take with you to different locations. Pump up the board to 17 PSI and then take it out on the water . If necessary, take a drinking bottle with you by attaching it to the small elastic band.

However, due to the narrow width, the board is not very stable on rougher water . The price is also quite on the expensive side for a board that hardly includes any accessories.
