I-SUP Inflatable Family 12'0
Program
The perfect Stand-Up Paddle board for the family. 50% cruising, 50% surfing, and 100% fun.
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.
Certainly the easiest board to get into Stand-Up Paddleboarding.
The 12’0 I-SUP Family is THE compact big board to delight the whole family. This is the ideal solution to enjoy the water alone or with two people on a board with a significant volume that allows all the fun. Whether as a surfing board, a diving platform or a deckchair for sunbathing at sea, there is no shortage of ideas for enjoying this family Stand-Up Paddleboard.
In surfing, you start from far and it glides on its own. It draws very smooth lines. For the more adventurous, its round front is ideal for trying nose rides.
Note that this is the perfect board for heavy riders who are just starting out and need total stability.
It is also great for Yoga !!!
With a superb design, the I-SUP Family is really a beautiful stand-up paddleboard at a record price and at the top of the range.
OUTLINE
This shape is made to be 200% accessible. Its generous lines are designed to maximize comfort whether you’re alone or with passengers.
With its great volume and width, this shape offers superb paddling comfort for one or two people. The round tail outline is extremely buoyant, forgiving missteps and making turns effortless.
In waves or swells, the take-off is early because the volume distribution of an inflatable lets it catch the wave quickly. It’s a super easy board, even with two people! Fun guaranteed!!!
ROCKER
The rocker is almost flat for quick paddling, with a slightly lifted nose to tackle steeper sections.
ROUND TAIL
A round tail for maximum maneuverability and even more glide.
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 wide longboard nose makes noserides a breeze and lets you bring the family along: it’s easy, tons of fun, and this big nose helps smooth out any mistakes.

Buying guide
For whom?
For those who want to have fun and share good times, without any difficulty.
For what ?
Leisurely cruising, having fun, casual surfing, taking the dog out, but above all, sharing these amazing experiences with others.
Cruising in couple or with two children goes with total ease.
What size board for the I-SUP Family?
Even though anything is possible, here we outline the main uses:
The 12’0 x 36’’ Family:
- Cruising for less than an hour on all water bodies.
- Ideal for an adult plus a child.
- Not great for surfing. Rather 90% cruising/fun and 10% surfing. It glides well in a straight line.
- Rider: suuuuuper easy.
Understanding the GONG range?
What is the difference between our I-SUP range and our First range?
Which quiver?
This board is a must-have, versatile, and easy to transport! Pair it with the right gear:
- Carbon Mix 30% Paddle (3 parts) or, even better, Carbon Mix 100% Paddle for you;
- Adjustable 3-part Aluminum Paddle for Kids for your little co-pilot!
- A premium fiberglass fin, designed for surfing and cruising.
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?
A 10' leash is perfect for the I-SUP Family. You can choose between an ankle or knee leash, depending on your preference.
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.
