Details

Conquering the Arctic Circle Trail on lakes and fjords near the coast inspired us to build an ultra-light and extremely packable SUP board. The original model of all ULTRALIGHT EDITION is the Airboard Hike - your perfect travel companion if you are taking a tour with a lot of luggage. Backpack, sleeping bag, food ... everything fits on the big cargo area. You can stow some of it in the Waterproof PumpBag - the SUP bag for inflating. With this brand new SUP concept you are ready for new adventures. Airboard® packaging material uses 100% recycled paper and instead of plastic packaging material our pumps are sold in a personal 40L dry-bag backpack.

Schweizer Innovation

PumpBag

Die Multifunktionale Tasche aus dem ULTRALIGHT Concept. Der PumpBag dient als einerseits als Luftpumpe für das Grundvolumen eines beliebigen SUP. Zudem dient der PumpBag auch als 53l-DryBag der mittels der Tragriemen auf dem SUP befestigt wird. Das Volumen dieser ausgeklügelten Tasche ist ausreichend um darin ein SUP der ULTRALIGHT EDITION zu verstauen.

Schweizer Innovation

PumpPaddle

Die Paddle-Innovation vom Schweizer SUP-Pionier. Äusserlich unterscheidet sich das patentierte Paddle-System kaum von einem normalen SUP-Paddle. Die entscheidenden Änderungen wurden im Inneren des 3-teiligen Paddels vorgenommen. Die Luft wird durch einfache Pump-Bewegungen über den ausziehbaren Teil des Paddels erzeugt. Das Dichtungssystem erlaubt dabei einen ausreichend grossen Druck für aufblasbare Stand Up Paddleboards. Durch das geringere Volumen des Schaftes lässt sich der Druck mit massiv weniger Kraftaufwand erzeugen.

Zufriedenheits-Garantie mit Board-Tausch

Uns ist es wichtig dass du mit deinem SUP glücklich bist. Deshalb bieten wir dir bis 60 Tage nach dem Kauf die Möglichkeit dein Paddelboard gegen ein anderes Airboard-SUP einzutauschen falls du mit deinem nicht zufrieden bist.

SUP tips before buying

Wich SUP should i buy?

There are remarkable differences in performance, stability and durability among inflatable SUP's and testing makes a lot of sense, to find the Board that fits your needs.

Typically, SUPs are divided into different categories:

  • Allround & Beginner SUP: Models that offer good stability and are a lot of fun right from the start. These paddleboards usually come as a complete set, including a paddle.
    > Check out our Allround sets here

  • Touring SUP: These paddleboards are somewhat narrower and longer and are suitable for sporty beginners or experienced paddlers who like to move a bit faster. The sets usually do not include a paddle, as this is often already available.
    > Check out our Touring SUPs here.

  • Race SUP & Whitewater SUP: These stand-up paddleboards have very specific uses and are often bought as a second SUP. You can specifically exclude accessories that you already have with us, allowing you to save money.
    > Find our Race SUPs here
    > ...and our Whitewater SUPs

  • Ultra-light SUP: In 2019, Airboard set a new milestone in SUP history. Inflatable SUPs that are only half as heavy and have half the pack size.
    > Check out our Ultralight SUPs here


Quality and workmanship
The price range of inflatable SUP is huge. - Likewise, the differences in quality and workmanship. A simple SUP with single-layer technology - that is, with only one PVC protective layer - is usually enough for the beginner. - However, it should be ensured that the rail (the border) is constructed with two layers. Because this place is the most sensitive. So a SUP can be left lying in the sun or in the worst case tear along the seam.

Also the load capacity is a crucial point. Some SUPs have a maximum load capacity of less than 100kg. The result: wet feet and a wobbly tilted board.
Much more robust are so-called "double-layer" SUP. In this technology, the SUP is encased in a second layer of PVC. This makes the SUP more resistant and increases the carrying capacity.

There are also some things to consider when it comes to accessories. Is the enclosed paddle swimming? - Not all paddles stay on the water surface when they fall into the water. This can be a serious security risk.


Sustainability and service

When buying a SUP is to pay attention how it behaves with spare parts. Will I get a replacement soon? Nothing is more annoying than if a paddle clamp or a fin can not be replaced on time.
Or if something is wrong with the SUP (loss of air, delay, valve defect ...). - Do I have to replace the complete SUP?

If you buy your SUP from a retailer, you can count on a reliable service. As a rule, defective parts can be replaced at short notice. In the spirit of sustainability.


iSUP vs. Hardboard

Transport
People without a minivan or a roof rack are better served with an iSUP.

Preparation
A hardboard doesn't have to get inflated and is ready immediately.

Stability
The iSUP-Technology allwos a very high stiffness.

Speed and Gliding
A harboard is with his individual shape perfect for contests. But also with iSUP there are special shapes for fast speed and good gliding. 

Sturdyness
iSUP are more sturdy than hardboards. High-quality inflatable SUP are equipped with a double layer construction and a reinfoced rail. Hits against bank and shore are no problem. But take care of spiky rocks and broken glass. Leaks are easy to repair.

Price
There are no big differences in price between iSUP and hardboards. Each type is available between budget and pro.

Decision

If you like to SUP in a river you need a durable double layer SUP that resists to unwanted contacts with a rock, good stability sideways and a length that surfs and turns quick into upstream currents.

If you look for a long distance touring SUP you look for a long and easy glider which cuts smoothly through waves and silent water.

To make the right decision when buying, we recommend to take a SUP course or test the different SUP with one of our partners

To rent a SUP in Switzerland you can also contact us directly - we are able to ship you the rental equipment to your place within 48 hours, or you can pick them from our office. 

Swiss quality standards

Depending on the model, 8 to 12 hours of handcraft are included in our SUP
Airboard SUP are produced in nine to ten working steps. They are manufactured according to exact specifications and each step is subject to defined test criteria. In the video below you can see the production of an Airboard SUP, shortened to one minute.
 
Sustainability and ecology
When selecting components and accessories, we consciously pay attention to sustainability. A defective pump, a defective paddle or valve does not necessarily have to be disposed of. We have all spare parts and the know-how to repair a defect. This relieves the environment and also your budget.
 
Improvement of Social Performance
Our factory has an Amfori-BSCI audit which is renewed regularly. This represents an improvement of social performance in global supply chains. For further information please visit: https://www.amfori.org/content/amfori-bsci.
In addition, we personally visit each production line up to 4 times a year, not only for one or two days, but usually for 1-2 weeks. With the operators and workers of the factory we have built up a good friendly relationship over many years.  We personally see a positive development of the working conditions and living standards of all employees.
 
Since 2020 season all SUP will be delivered with bags made from recycled beverage bottles. In addition, we no longer use plastic film for packaging the SUP, but only recycled paper.
 
From 2021 we pack all paddles supplied in the set in recycled paper. In addition, the pump is packed in a reusable 40l DryBag instead of a plastic bag.
 
Collaboration with SUP Clinic
A defective SUP does not have to be replaced immediately. Mostly these can be repaired. SUP-Clinic is our partner when it comes to expertly repairing a leak, a broken seam or a faulty valve. If a repair is no longer worthwhile, the SUP Clinic will take care of proper disposal.
 

 

Features

 

QUICK FIX GEPÄCKNETZ
Seit 2023 verwenden wir auf diversen Modellen ein Quick-Fix Gepäcknetz. Damit kann das Gepäck nicht nur richtig fest angezogen werden, es bietet auch die Möglichkeit zur schnellen Montage (und Demontage) des neuen Gepäcknetzes hinten auf dem SUP. 
Diese Funktion wird ab 2023 nach und nach an verschiedenen Modellen eingefügt, ist aber an jedem SUP nachrüstbar.


VARIO FIBER PADDEL
Unser 3-teiliges Fiberglas-Paddle ist so konzipiert dass es fast jedem Paddler gerecht wird und vielseitig eigesetzt werden kann. Es passt, in drei Teile zerlegt nicht nur perfekt in die Tasche, sondern es passt sich auch den Bedürfnissen an. So lässt es sich z.B. auch ohne Mittelteil als Kinder-Paddle verwenden oder findet seinen Einsatz auch beim sitzend oder kniend Paddeln (z.B. bei starkem Gegenwind). Mit einem optional erhältlichen Kajak-Blade lässt sich das Paddle zudem zu einem Kajak-Paddle erweitern.


US-BOX FINNENSYSTEM
Während die Ultralight SUP ein neuartiges kompaktes US-Box-Mini Finnensystem besitzen, setzt Airboard bei allen anderen SUP auf das bewährte internationale US-Box Finnensystem. Dies hat den Vorteil dass je nach Bedarf verschiedene Finnen eingesetzt werden können. Ob Seegras, Touring, oder Fluss wir haben die passende Finne.

Ecology

 

PLASTIK REDUZIEREN UND RECYCELN
Airboard versucht seit Jahren den Plastikanteil der Verpackungen auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren. Die SUP-Verpackung ist seit 2020 aus Recycling-Papier. Wenn immer möglich verpacken wir die mitgelieferte Pumpe in einen DryBag der im SUP-Set kostenlos inbegriffen ist.

RECYCLING-TASCHE
Seit 2020 Verwendet Airboard für die SUP-Taschen ein äusserst leichtes und strapazierfähiges Material das aus recycelten Getränkeflaschen hergestellt ist.

REPARATUR-CENTER
Bei der Auswahl der Komponenten und Zubehör achten wir bewusst auf Nachhaltigkeit. Eine defekte Pumpe, ein defektes Ventil oder Paddel muss nicht zwingend entsorgt werden. Wir verfügen über sämtliche Ersatzteile und das know-how einen Defekt zu reparieren. Dies entlastet die Umwelt und auch dein Budget.

Das Produktionsteam von Airboard ist zudem Mitbegründer der SUP-Clinic.com GmbH. Eine Werkstatt die sich auf die Reparatur von aufblasbaren SUP spezialisiert hat. In einer Werkstatt in der Schweiz und in Deutschland werden Lecks fachmännisch repariert oder neue Applikationen angebracht.

Technology

 

DER RICHTIGE DROP-STITCH
Single Layer Woven: Dieser High-Tech Drop-Stitch kommt bei unserer UltraLight Edition zum Einsatz. Eng verwobene Fäden geben dem Material eine äusserst hohe Steifigkeit was unsere ultraleichten SUP STRIDER und HIKE auszeichnet.
Zu unseren Ultralight SUP

Prelaminated/Fusion Double Layer: Beim Prelaminated Double Layer wird während der Produktion des Grundmaterials direkt eine zweite PVC-Schicht aufgeschweisst. Dieses moderne Verfahren macht das SUP nicht nur robuster, sondern es können auch bis zu 25% Gewicht gegenüber einem herkömmlichen Double Layer SUP eingespart werden.
Zu unseren Prelaminated Double Layer SUP

Glued Heavy-Duty Drop-Stitch: Früher der Standard eines hochwertigen SUP, findet diese Verarbeitungsart nach wie vor ihren Einsatz. Gerade bei Wildwasser-SUP denen so einiges abverlangt wird weist diese Bauweise nur Vorteile auf.
Zu unseren Heavy-Duty Wildwasser-SUP.

DOPPELT VERSTÄRKTE SEITENWÄNDE
All unsere SUP werden mit einer doppelt verstärkten Seitenwand (Rail) produziert. Dies macht das SUP weniger anfällig wenn man mal gegen einen Stein fährt.
Einzige Ausnahme: unsere Ultralight-SUP. Hier verwenden wir ein einwandiges, gewebeverstärktes PVC-Rail und verstärken nur die Naht doppelt. Der Vorteil: Das SUP lässt sich äusserst kompakt rollen und es wird einiges an Gewicht eingespart. - Bei sorgfältigem Umgang mit einem Single-Layer-Rail SUP hält dies gleich lang wie ein doppelwandinges SUP.
