What we say
The Honu Byron exceeded expectations as an all round iSUP. Honu have definitely thought about their design of this board and how it is going to perform for the everyday paddler. The 4.7″ design gives you added stability, whilst the front and rear handles are a welcome addition. New for 2022 is a smaller fin box which makes rolling up the board easier and the accessories you get with the package are top notch. On the water and it performs exactly as it should. It feels great to paddle, has good stability, ease of turning and will work in many different conditions. Suited to riders under 95kg, this board is a very good choice for flat water paddling and some surf time.

What the brand says
“All-rounder SUP In Class of Its Own”
The Byron was launched in 2020 and quickly became the in-demand paddleboard in Australia. Not being content with great, we decided to take Byron to the next level. The new Byron boasts several refinements and one major technology upgrade that puts it into a category all on its own. The Byron is the Swiss army knife of inflatable paddleboards, designed to be a true all-rounder. Whether heading out for a flatwater cruise with your dog or starting your day with SUP yoga and a relaxing paddle, the Byron has you covered. Feeling excited about catching some local waves?... You got it, take the Byron.
Construction & Material
This 4.7" thick inflatable SUP keeps you connected to the water and better able to respond to the swirls and ripples than a standard 6" board does. This connection provides the comfort and confidence to push boundaries at any skill level and ultimately improve your paddling experience.
The Byron adopts our industry-leading X-Woven & Fused drop-stitch material with our triple-bonded rails. The combination of high pressure, reinforced rails, and 4.7" thickness produces a stable iSUP with the hardboard-like performance it has become famous for. This innovative material produces a board that is around 2Kg (4.4 lbs) lighter than comparable high-performance boards, making it easy to transport and move around.
Updates 2022
The 2022 Byron comes with a Honu Compact fin-box and FCS II 9" fin. This unique solution provides the Byron paddler with the option of fitting any standard fin but with a compact 275mm footprint. This means no tools or screws are needed, it fits any standard fin, and still packs away easily, unlike boards with standard fin-boxes. This is a game-changing feature.
We have also updated the pump to be a Bravo SUPer pump which is the lightest and most powerful hand pump on the market, making manual inflation quick and easy.
The Byron inflatable SUP is backed by our 4-year total care warranty.
