I-SUP Inflatable Cruising














Program
The perfect Stand-Up Paddle board for cruising, easy and versatile.
Presentation
The I-SUPs are high-end boards created by Patrice Guénolé, a pioneering shaper in the world of Stand-Up Paddleboarding, and a team of passionate engineers.
The I-SUP Cruising is a fast AND stable board, ideal for long rides.
When rowing, it reassures from the first strokes of the paddle. You can start even if you don’t know anything about surfing or if you have a sturdy body frame. We are high enough on the water to take on a passenger. It is very rigid. And when we paddle harder, it propels forward with its fast rocker.
But what you need to know is that its stability, with its generous width, will make it possible to engage in long hours of pleasure without tiredness, and to carry enough load to make breaks to eat or even to spend the night under the stars.
This board is the queen of the relaxed ride, but also of long excursions. 90% of users will do nice strolls lasting an hour or two. But the I-SUP Cruising is ready for adventure!
With a superb design, the I-SUP Cruising is really a beautiful stand up paddle board at a record price and at the top of the range.

OUTLINE
This shape is made for adventure. Its sleek lines are designed to boost both speed and paddling comfort. It’s a carefully honed adaptation of thousands of templates we’ve developed over 30 years, offering unmatched performance and ease.
ROCKER
The rocker is nearly constant for fast paddling, and the nose is slightly lifted to easily glide through chop.
ROUND TAIL
With its round tail, the outline is both maneuverable and fast. It’s forgiving enough to accommodate placement errors, yet responsive enough for smooth turns, letting you explore every part of the spot.
RAILS
The rails are round, as with all inflatable boards. But we’ve turned this natural shape into an advantage, allowing water to glide effortlessly over the board. No drag, just pure flow.
NOSE
The point nose enhances efficiency, offering a perfect balance of comfort and paddling speed. When you want to pick up the pace, its sleek nose will accelerate effortlessly.

Buying guide

Its user-friendly design helps beginners progress quickly, while experienced riders will enjoy a super-smooth and easy glide for relaxed sessions.

What size for the I-SUP Cruising?
Even though anything is possible, here we outline the main uses:
The 11’6 x 32’’ Cruising:
Outings of less than an hour and a half on all types of water.
Not great for surfing. More like 80% cruising and 20% surfing. It glides well and straight ahead.
Rider: less than 85kg ideally but it doesn’t matter because it’s very easy.
The 12’6 x 33’’ Cruising:
Outings of more than one hour on all water bodies. Perfect to go on an adventure.
Not great in surfing. Rather 80% riding and 20% surfing. It glides well and straight ahead.
Rider: Very easy for everyone. No stress.
The 13’6 x 35’’ Cruising:
Outings of several hours on all water bodies. Perfect to go on an adventure.
Not great in surfing. Rather 80% riding and 20% surfing. It glides well and straight ahead.
Rider: Very easy for everyone. No stress.
Understanding the GONG range?
What is the difference between our First range and I-SUP range?
Best quiver choice?
This board is perfect with a Carbon Mix 100% GONG Paddle cut to the right size or adjustable, and a top of the range fiberglass or carbon fin.
What length of paddle?
The way you paddle, your stance and the frequency at which you paddle will depend on your program. You will need a longer paddle for touring for multiple hours, while you would need a shorter paddle for surfing in order to facilitate quick and strong paddle strokes to catch a wave. Take your time to pick the right length/setting for your paddle, because it will help give you the stability and performance you will need.
Examples:
For a 100% surfing session, set your paddle between your waist and +10cm.
For more relaxed surfing, a +10cm paddle will be perfect.
For a ride, set your paddle between +10 and +20cm.
Which leash?
For the I-SUP Cruising range, a 10’ leash is the perfect choice. Depending on your needs and style, you can opt for a classic ankle or knee leash for a mix of cruising and surfing, or a coiled leash to minimize drag for a fully cruising-focused setup.
Check its condition before each session and change it every year. This is your life jacket.
Good to know :
Never leave your board in the sun, let alone an inflatable board which will heat up very quickly. You risk seeing it peel off because the materials it is made of become flexible in the heat. Never store it under a car window, or in contact with a heat source.
Never let your board get roughed up in the waves, especially when you’re close to the beach. You have to protect it from major strains. A wave that takes your board and rolls it can do damage.
Do not hold it by the leash indefinitely because it can give way under very high tension. Avoid big waves and don’t resist. If it breaks, it’s easy to change but annoying.
Stay away from oysters: this is one of the few seashells that can cut your board and sink it in seconds. Be careful +++
Don’t let your inflatable board rub on something for a long time. It can happen on a boat, for example, that your board moves with each wave and rubs for hours in the same place. The material will disintegrate because it will be as sanded. You will have a hole that will need to be covered with a patch.
Never put the board between the wave and you: risk of a broken nose type injury ;-)
Do not paddle far at sea with an offshore wind, and avoid windy outings as it is rarely fun and always dangerous. SUP is an activity that involves real risks, even in seemingly peaceful conditions. Always anticipate these risks and protect yourself.
