This is my third ISUP, expect it to be the best. So far, I have only taken it out a few times but I am loving the Joyride XL, it's a perfect size for me, a girlfriend, and a cooler. Excited to take it out to the Kaneohe Sandbar and the Mokulua. Impressed by the craftsmanship and expect the durability to have it last many years.

I have owned several SUPS but the Hydrus tracks well, and has a sleek design. All around great board!

I order this on a presale and could not be more satisfied. For reference on Black Friday I bought a very discounted Irocker Nautilis. That board has very good reviews for an entry-level board. I figured it would be perfect for the kids to tagalong when I got my hydrus. The difference in the board could not be more apparent. It was like going from a mass produced Honda Civic to an Aston Martin. The attention to detail, the quality of the materials, the lines of the board, and the efficiency of the board is incredible. Their add-on paddle is phenomenal. It’s just a matter of time before I buy more hydrus gear. Do yourself a favor and go with them from the gecko.

I bought this board mostly for paddling exercise. I use it on the flat water/river area and it handles wind and goes really straight. As it is inflatable, I don't worry about dinging it up or anybody running over rocks. Not recommended of course, but.it happens. I can pull it up to the shore or leave it tied to a dock and it is very durable. Thanks!

Great boards, great service, good pricing and a company with a conscience!
