We were so busy in the lead up to Christmas that we did not see the release of the SUP Boarder Mag review of the 2022 Sorrento.

We knew we had designed something very special. 
We thought it had the potential to be considered an industry benchmark
We were waiting nervously to hear what the SUP Boarder crew thought.... 

While the Sorrento was winning awards against the best in the world, we were out of stock in Australia and unsure if we would even have a new Sorrento for the 2022 season. This was because of the complex rail construction we were trying to achieve and were still in the middle of testing mid-year.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are amongst the world's largest polluting events. Fueling hyper-discount culture that leads to the overproduction and overconsumption of goods. So instead of going on sale this Black Friday, we're funding local youth housing programs.

Have you ever wondered what exactly to pack for whenever you go SUP'ing? We've listed them down for you. Before you head out to the water, these are the SUP essentials to have ready with you.

The Bondi, our hybrid surf SUP, is the perfect board for both surfing and having a chilled-out cruise on flat water. For our 2022 range, we've decided to add 3 cool upgrades to the Bondi SUP... to make your paddleboarding experience even better.

No discussion of why you should choose an inflatable SUP is complete without first addressing the big question: Hardboard OR Inflatable? 

If performance is your most important consideration, then a hardboard is for you--or at least that is what you'll often be told. But while this is correct in most instances, it isn't absolutely right. Even when you put aside all the distinct transport and storage advantages, inflatable SUPs perform better in some cases...

A fin box that is absolutely unique to Honu. The Honu 185 Fin Box is ground-breaking for three reasons combined. It can fit more than one kind of fin. The overall footprint of the design is 50mm shorter than the leading brand used on high-end boards--makes board-packing a lot easier. It is extremely strong and durable.

We've made some exciting updates to our Byron board. It's still the same multi-purpose, all-rounder SUP that you know--except upgraded. With stability and versatility intact, we've added some new features to the Byron '22 to make your experience with this board even better.
