They said it was stiff, but we didn’t realise quite how stiff! The Isle Explorer Pro really is a board that will get your attention… it certainly got ours! Sign into SUPboarder Pro to see full video

Reuben,which would you rather have ?
1) Red paddle voyager 13.2 2) Red voyager 12.6 3) Isle explorer pro 14
Hey Cam This is a hard one… I feel that there is elements of all the boards that I really like. Definitely with the stiffness and construction its the Isle SUP. The design outline shape is better on the voyages. But I think I’m edging towards the Explorer PRO. If it was a little bit narrower and with less rocker I would definitely go for it
Thanks Reuben, Then what about the gladiator Elite 14 T ? I just watched your review of it. It has less Rocker I think. It is 30 in wide and lite weight ? Is this the best one out of the lot ? It just so happens, I may be able to get one used. Is the gladiator far less stiffer than the isle explorer ? Thanks
Hey Cam, the Elite T is a good board, I know it will be lighter than and Isle. But it wont be as stiff. The Isle will be more stable and will be better at taking more weight. But if you can find the Gladiator for a good price it could be a great board for you. Like all boards, they both have pros and cons..
hi Cam , you should check out the Quroc 12’6 or 13ft, the Starboard touring DSC and also the Shark performance tourer (my fav) . none of these are as stiff as the Isle , but as touring boards they would be top of my list 🙂
