About Aqua Marina
Aqua Marina is one of the fastest-growing inflatable SUP manufacturers, focused on the recreational market — by far the largest SUP segment worldwide. The boards are dropstitch-constructed, 12 to 15 cm thick and surprisingly stiff at 15 PSI. For anyone with 0 to 5 years of SUP experience, Aqua Marina is a safe, affordable choice.
How we test Aqua Marina SUP boards
Every board is judged on the same criteria: stability, glide, stiffness, package completeness, finish quality and value for money. We pump each board ourselves, paddle on both fresh and salt water and compare it against the other models in the same class.
Frequently asked questions
Which Aqua Marina SUP board is best for beginners?
The Magma is our top pick for beginners: extra wide, stable and with a complete starter pack.
Which board suits heavier paddlers or a family?
Look at the Super Trip (210 kg max.) or the Atlas (170 kg max.).
Are inflatable SUP boards as good as hard boards?
For recreational users, absolutely. Modern dropstitch boards are more than stiff enough at 15 PSI — and they fit in a backpack.
How long does it take to inflate?
With a good dual-action pump, 5 to 10 minutes. With an electric pump, you don't have to do anything yourself.
