Attach a kayak seat to the deck rings to enjoy stand-up or seated kayak paddling.
If you want to conquer long-distance tours or compete in events adhering to length regulations, the Groove12’6 paddleboard allows you to think big. Inspired by raceboard design lines, its 30” width and elliptical shape provide optimum stability and speed over flat or choppy coastal or inland waters.

Fast to inflate and deflate, it effortlessly folds into a compact size that fits snugly into a travel bag, making it the perfect travel companion where only your imagination can limit you.
Ideal for ambitious adventures on the water, as you step onto the high-grip soft foam decking, you will experience its comfortable traction underfoot, providing you with confidence as you navigate diverse water conditions at your leisure. A front cargo-carrying tie-down area offers plenty of space for supplies needed for day excursions. A robust, thick step-back pad delivers confidence during step-back turns as you plant your heel against the foam chock for added control. Whether cruising calm lakes or taking on challenging sheltered coastal waters, the Groove 12’6 delivers high-performance levels.
The package includes a dual-action pump for quick and easy inflation, an aluminium 3-part paddle with polycarbonate blade, a leg leash for added safety, and a repair kit. Our high-performance, weed-free fin requires no tools for fitting and removal. Crafted using dual PVC layers fused into a thin single layer and drop stitched with 15,000 woven polyester threads/m2, the Groove 12’6 Air SUP tourer can withstand the rigours of the harshest SUP tour adventures.
Our Groove 12’6 inflatable SUP is ideally suited to intermediate to advanced SUP paddlers seeking the thrill of touring adventures, event participation, or as a reliable grab-and-go fun, fast, casual paddleboard.
