What we say
The Hyper 12’6 from Aqua Marina is a great touring board for those riders who want a little more stability and ease of use. It allows you to carry lots of gear when touring with the large bungee area and comes as double chamber to give you added stiffness and safety.
We compared the 2022 Hyper with the 2020 model in this video to showcase some of the differences between an earlier generation board. The most noticeable difference is in the outline shape and this has been improved to give more stability in a wider outline, whilst offering a better overall feel when paddling. Other improvements include the grippy deck pad, better placement of the inner chamber valve, the leash, extra bungees and a better pump.
Some things we noticed that could be added to enhance your experience on the water include the addition of handles on the nose and tail, the handle is not as paddled and the weighted balance is slightly off.
Got a question about this product?
Pros: Stability | Cargo area | Size
Cons: Lack of handles | Weighted centre | Rocker | Environmental creditability
Consider buying if... you are an advanced beginner or intermediate paddler weighing up to 85kg who wants a touring board that is stable and easy to use.

The two sizes are fast, easy to paddle and keep balance, even if you are a first-time SUPer. The 6-inch thickness gives incredible rigidity while extra volume keeps you and your luggage up and dry.
Unsurpassed stiffness and stability brought by the new double chamber construction makes the HYPER ideal for carrying camping gear, whilst the streamlined outline makes it perfect for high-speed cruising enabling you to paddle further and longer.
The HYPER inflatable touring board is going to be every explorers’ favourite mode of transportation. Faster and more comfortable than ever, available in 11’6” and 12’6”.
