Whether paddling for fitness or adventure, the Sorrento iSUP delivers for your long-distance outings. Designed for those wanting to paddle further, it has enough anchor points for your backpack, water bottle, snacks and extra clothing. At 12'9 long by 30" wide, the Sorrento paddles easily in a straight line while remaining stable. This sweet spot of speed and stability makes it the perfect board for riders who want to go far and fast on their morning SUP paddle. 

At 5.9" thickness with carbon rails top & bottom, the Sorrento is among the most responsive inflatable paddleboards available anywhere. The triple-bonded rails further add to the board's rigidity and allow the board to be inflated to 20 PSI, which is easily achieved with the premium GRI pump that comes as a standard inclusion. This board will actually perform better than many of its composite alternatives and can be packed away in a small car or closet. 

The Sorrento is constructed with our industry-leading X-Woven & fused drop-stitch material. The X-woven material is around 30% lighter than standard fusion double-layer boards and produces a more rigid structure. The board is further strengthened by carbon fibre stringers top and bottom. These 'real carbon fibre' stringers help make the Sorrento iSUP one of the lightest, most responsive boards available today. 

The new range of Honu boards is now backed by our 2+2 year warranty. That's four years of assurance in your Honu product and paddleboarding experience.

It can take you just about anywhere while remaining relaxed and unencumbered throughout the journey.

    Once I ordered my board, it was delivered within days. Great service.

    I love the product, very good quality. I am not very strong and can not pump it up with the pump provided with the board.

    I will have to buy a battery operated pump, otherwise I cant use my board.

    Apart from that, my board is amazingly strong and sturdy. I will be doing some long paddles on it, so it will be well used.

    Touring paddle board

    I’ve only ever used a hard board but this one is fast and efficient and inflates to a state as good as a hard board!

    Serious touring, or Just for fun.

    I will begin by saying, I had high expectations for the Honu Sorrento SUP, and after using it five times since the week before Christmas, I am pleased to say, it has not disappointed me. I wanted a Touring board for covering longer distances on flat water such as rivers and lakes, to date I have only done shorter trips (6 kilometres) but the board performed very well.

    The board glides smoothly across the water, tracks very well, and is easy to manoeuvre. I was a little concerned if I would find the board stable, it being 3 inches narrower than my previous ride, and with my post Christmas weight at 100 kilograms, but I am very comfortable with the board’s stability (no unexpected dunking yet). There have been more motor boats out on my local river over Christmas, and I am always a bit nervous crossing boat wakes. When approached ‘Head On’ the Sorrento cuts through the wake without effort or loss of stability.

    The construction and quality of finish is excellent, on par with boards with much higher price tags. I am not normally too concerned with a board’s appearance, but this is a stylish board, and I admit to not being able to suppress a slight grin every time I look at it. The three handles (front, back and centre) are very convenient and ‘Easy’ on the hand. But one of my favourite features is the board’s light weight, making it so easy to carry, or load on roof racks. Add all of this to excellent before, during, and after sales service, and super fast delivery, and I have…

    Just perfect!

    The board is beautiful and perfect for touring. Must say that I really enjoyed the great service, Mark took time to speak to me about what board would be best for my needs and it has made a huge difference in getting the right board and paddle.

    These guys win hands down on quality, service and looking after our oceans!
