3 New Vilano Stand Up Paddleboards Under $550

Vilano has 3 new stand up paddleboards for sale online. I review these basic recreational SUPs below (both their similarities and differences). I don’t think that there is anything outrageous about them, but the price is awesome.

The Vilano Inflatable SUP has a Great Low Price.

Not only can you get an SUP for about $500 or less, but these packages include everything you need – including a paddle (which can save you about $60-$100 by itself).

As with many other inflatable SUPs, shipping is free or very inexpensive. (Much less for for a traditional hardboard, so that’s another cost-saver that you can tack on).

But Vilano Paddleboards Have More than a Low Price…

But price is not the only factor that makes these packages a great deal. I actually own a Vilano iSUP myself, and I can attest that the construction maintains high quality. These boards will last you a long time and perform well. You may pay less, but you don’t have to worry that you are buying something cheap.

Vilano SUP High Pressure Manual Air Pump with Built-In Pressure GaugeAnother thing I like is their air pumps. They seem to work better than other pumps, inflating the board faster and with less effort.

Also, the pressure gauge comes built into the pump. Therefore, you can see the board’s pressure as you inflate it.

(Some pumps come with a separate gauge which means you need to detach the pump from your SUP in order to insert the gauge and check the pressure. Not a big deal, but not really efficient either.

Anyway, let’s talk about the similar features of the 3 paddleboard models. In other words, they each give you a deluxe package, a comfortable deck, streamline shape and the capacity to attach gear.

1. Vilano Gives You All-in-One SUP Package Deal:

As you can see from the photos, each SUP comes as a complete package with the inflatable board, pump with integrated pressure gauge, 3-piece aluminum paddle, removable bottom fin and a sturdy backpack carrying bag. (Plus, the Voyager even includes a leash.)

2. Vilano Makes Their SUPs Rigid Design and Streamlined:

They each are very rigid when inflated and made with a high-grade PVC material that makes them feel almost like hardboards. Their extra thickness (6″) also provides extra rigidity and stability while you’re standing and they ride higher out of the water for a more streamlined ride.

Note: The Vilano Journey measures 5″ thick, so it is not as rigid and doesn’t ride so high. However, it costs less than the other models that have a 6″ thickness.

3. These Paddle Boards are Ready to Take on Your Gear:

They all have stainless D-rings and bungee cords for attaching coolers, detachable kayak seats, dry bags, leashes and other cargo so you can easily and securely carry your gear with you.

4. Get a Large, Comfortable SUP Grip Pad for Your Feet:

There is also a foam deck grip pad that covers a significant area of the top of the paddleboard, so it’s easier to stand and maintain your balance. Don’t worry about slipping when you’ve got a grip pad!
