With many more inflatable downwind SUP foil boards coming to market, we thought we would put two of our top choices in each construction head to head to see how performance really differs.

Interesting comparison but a shame its not a complete apple to apples comparison with the inflatable being shorter and wider than the Dragonfly so inevitably harder to paddle up. I don’t expect it would change the outcome, but would close the gap a little. I have half an eye on the Duotone Downwinder Air for travelling, at 6’10 x 20 x 105L which is closer to the dims of intermediate+ DW composite board and also comes in at a quoted weight of 5.5kg. I guess that would be an interesting comparison, with that Starboard Ace Air…

yeah this would be a great comparison. The Duotone looks good also
