Although this paddleboard is cheaper than most iSUPs, users confirm that it is still of very high-quality. All the included accessories, and especially the bag, are well made. Paddleboarders are happy that they can kayak and SUP without having to buy two different products.” Standuppadleboardsreview.com The respective main color shapes the look of all sides and is complemented on the nose by a matching geometric stroke pattern. No manufacturer’s information, estimated: approx. 250 liters (9’8″) | 270 liters (10’4) | 290 liters (10’8) | 320 liters (12′)

However, like most all-rounders, it’s ok at everything but great at nothing so you will outgrow this board at some point, this is when you decide if you want a tourer, race or wave SUP. If you’re already at a more experienced level, then I’d recommend looking at something a little more exciting, like the Bluefin Rouge Tourer. Although this difference can be explained by the higher-quality material construction and is quite positive, it naturally also makes transporting the carbon version more difficult. The three-fin system made sure I stayed in a straight line when paddling at higher speeds. The new Bluefin Cruise has better & improved kayak mounting points The Old Bluefin Cruise Comes With a Kayak Seat 🙌🏻 We have tested the two versions of these boards extensively, and you will see a lot of personal pictures of us on these two boards. The latest Cruise Carbon 2023 versionis the DARKER SUP while the old Cruise version is in BLUE. In this review below, I will show you how we experienced these paddle boards.However, due to the carbon rails and the two air chambers, the Bluefin Cruise Carbon boards again clearly and noticeably outperform the standard versions in terms of stiffness. The paddle that is included with the Bluefin Cruise is a Bluefin 4-Piece adjustable and convertible paddle, which is lightweight and very strong and durable because it is made out of fiberglass. It can not only be used as a SUP paddle, but also as a kayak paddle. Which is perfect together with the supplied kayak seat. This board is all-around so it is suitable for basically every activity you are looking for on a Stand Up Paddle board. The board could be used for a maximum weight of 287 lbs / 130 kg, for the new version this has been updated to 150 kg / 331 lbs. But I honestly think that is underestimated and you could surely get on this board with two people that have my weight (about 80 kg). The pump has a clear pressure gauge as you can see on my picture below. It goes up to 21 PSI, which is a bit strange since the board should be able to take up to 28 PSI. But since 15-18 PSI is recommended and stiff enough I don’t think this will be a problem. (If you are actually inflating this to 28 PSI I want to see a video of how long it takes you :-P!)

It can be inflated up to 28 PSI, but even at the regular 15 PSI, it felt incredibly stiff because of the used material. The ride was very smooth on calm water and even the wilder sea (as far as it can get wild in the Netherlands ;-))The construction of the Cruise 10’8 is impressive. You will be amazed at how stiff it is once inflated. It is awesome to be able to roll up your SUP and put it in a bag. But when paddling, you want it to be as solid as a hard paddleboard. If the iSUP is soft, you won’t have an easy time. The board will flex and that will be a very unstable ride. You can adjust it from 175cm to 210cm, which makes it suitable for people of different heights. The grip on the paddle is made of a rubberized material, which feels comfortable in your hands and does not slip when wet. The board is also reinforced with a 1000 denier drop stitch, which are the internal threads holding the top and bottom of the sup together. This reinforced stitch is the densest on the market, giving the bluefin more credentials on the build design of their boards. However, lakes and canals with relatively calm water certainly bring the most fun with all-rounders. With the necessary experience, however, you can also venture onto slow-flowing rivers and coastal sections.

We have tested the two versions of these boards extensively, and you will see a lot of personal pictures of us on these two boards. The latest Bluefin Cruise 2023 version is the ORANGE SUP while the old Cruise version is in BLUE. In this review below, we will show you how we experienced these paddle boards. As the name suggests, the Bluefin Cruise 2022 models belong to the cruising boards. With their wider yet streamlined shape, they are a middle ground between allrounders and touring boards. This does not change with the new series.This board is a bargain that you should want to get your hands in before they start raising the price!
