WatchFor its length it is definitely the most stable inflatable paddleboard we have tested. Great overall stiffness and a well finished board and package that can easily stand up to boards at the same or higher price points.
Where there's stiffness there's usually weight and this board at 12.11 kg is not the lightest. Lighter-mid weight paddlers might find this board a little cumbersome and harder to move around compared to lighter boards on the market. A more refined paddle blade shape would also suit the package better.
Buy if... You’re looking for a super stable board that is not too long, allowing you to try all types of paddling. Or if you’re getting into SUP fishing or carrying heavier loads on your board the Model X will be a standout board to look at.

The BLACKFIN Model X 10’6″ iSUP performs great in all water conditions and is suitable for all skill levels, especially beginners.

Great for taller and or larger riders or anyone looking for extra stability while maintaining performance. This board is great for the outdoors enthusiast who wants to bring along gear for fishing, camping, yoga, and more!
