It’s a fantastic board, is super durable, has carbon fiber rails, and will for sure be stable for you and your dog.

There’s a cool logo print across the board featuring a triangle and paddle, which we loved – kudos to the design team on this one! The side bungees have extra padding and reinforcement as well so that if you’re paddling with your kid, they can have something to reliably grab onto that is safe and soft.With it, you get an extremely durable rigid board with carbon side rails, a dual-chamber board setup, as well as a drop-stitch hull that can be inflated up to 28 PSI. It also facilitates the rider to move around on the board without any bowing or flexing that could destabilize them. A full-length deckpad maximises board usability and manoeuvrability and offers excellent grip and traction. The 2023 lineup of Bluefin paddleboards includes ten uniquely shaped and sized paddleboards that will accommodate beginners, intermediate, and advanced paddlers alike.

I’ve come from riding the ultra stable 2017 Red Paddle Co 10’8 (also used the 2018 version), so it’s a great board to gauge against.With it, you’ll be able to move a foot back and have the support you need to push the tail into the water, all without ever having to look down. Awesome, roomy backpack included that everything fits into easily and you can even throw gloves and a life jacket in. Not only do you get all those impressive bells and whistles, but you get a 5-year warranty and support from a company that stands behind their boards. ESL Construction:The ESL construction gives the Bluefin 10’8’’ a great, durable feel that is both very enjoyable to paddle on while also keeping it lighter than epoxy hard SUPS. This removable bungee system also has two grab handles for children, giving them a place to hold onto as the waves pick up or if they feel uncomfortable as you paddle.

The deck pad covers most of the length of the paddleboard, stopping just before the nose cargo area, giving you and those who go out with you plenty of space to stand or sit. It’s already packed neatly away in the carry bag, so you can literally take it out of the box and head straight to the beach.

The Bluefin Cruise 10’8’’ is protected by a 5-year warranty that covers all damage outside of normal wear and tear that comes with using their paddleboard. All in all, this is a great handle setup, and one we hope Bluefin will continue to use in their paddleboards. And we didn't stop there – we've added some nifty safety features, like reflective D-Rings, to keep you extra safe on your journeys. Additionally, our pump features a built-in pressure gauge, ensuring you achieve the perfect inflation level for optimal performance. The Bluefin 10’8’’ Cruise is an all-around board, built so that beginners and expert paddles alike can find reasons to enjoy using it.
