Products we compared
Hatha Pace Carve 2023
RRP: £650
The Hatha Pace is a board that you have for a very long time. It offers great speed and stability which creates the perfect blend for longer touring or fun paddles.
Pros: The Hatha Pace is a great fast cruising / touring iSUP. The quality is great and it comes with ample fittings. You get good accessories and a 5 year warranty. The fin holds well for tracking and the tail has a bit of extra width to help with stability.
Cons: The only con we came across was the lack of a rear bungee. It would be nice to see the bungee attached to the tail so you could store more gear for a touring paddle. We feel the Hatha Oxygen should give up the rear bungee in favour for its faster brother, the Pace.
Consider buying if... You are searching for a board that you can grow into. If you weigh under 80kg and are just learning to SUP, the Pace is a great choice if your goal is to paddle longer distances as it offers great speed.
Hatha Oxygen Carve ‘Roots’ 2023
RRP: £610
Hatha has designed an all-round iSUP that can just about do anything. A perfect family board to have the kids on, paddle yourself and share with friends.
Pros: The Hatha Oxygen is a very stable all-round iSUP. The quality is great and it comes with so many fittings which means it is a very versatile board. You get good accessories and a 5 year warranty.
Cons: Like any shorter length 10’6 board its not the fastest to paddle due to a shorter water line length.
Consider buying if... You want a quality board that will last. If you are a family and can only afford one board, get the Hatha Oxygen as it's perfect for everyone getting into SUP. Even more so, it takes riders up to 110kg.
What we say
In this SUPboarder comparison review, we take a look at the Hatha 10’6″ Oxygen Carve ‘Roots’ model and the 11’8″ Pace ‘Carve”. Both boards come with a five year warranty and similar fittings, however they suit different paddlers so tune into the video to see which board suits you.
The 10’6 Oxygen is a great all-round board for beginner paddlers getting into the sport or will work as one board for the whole family. The 11’8 Pace is a fast cruising iSUP that allows paddlers to paddler further and for longer, but also suits those who want to buy a first board to grow into.
