What we say

This eye catching Swedish SUP brand, Black Cat, came to our attention last year. Mainly because of their well designed touring boards, with large bungees, well placed handles and availability in a good range of sizes. This was an iSUP range we wanted to have a go on.

In this video we look at the longer 14’5” Hell Racer, the mid length 14’ Black Witch and shorter 12’6” White Witch.
