The ISLE Versa is one of the few paddleboards that looks exactly like the best surfboard.
Most paddleboards end up looking like a rectangle. I do not know whether that is the firm’s attempt to stand out or a direct issue.

Features ISLE Versa Rigid Stand Up Paddle Board
You might think that it is not that a huge deal, and for the most part, you are perfect; the shape of the board will hardly affect its work, but there is a reason why we favor round over square donuts.
Durable
The ISEL is highly durable stuff reinforced with meticulous craftsmanship, making the core very powerful.
Meaning, you do not have to treat this surfboard like a baby.
Also, this board’s weight restriction is 275 lbs, which is generally a big signifier for durability.
Thus, the ISEL is one of the few paddleboards that will permit you to enjoy your cruise carefreely.
Three different color
This board comes in 3 different colors: green, blue, and Aqua, and this is relatively uncommon when it comes to paddleboard, which generally does not grant you the luxury of picking from a wide range of colors.
It is 15 5 long, which should fit you rightly if you are six feet tall or under, 32 inches wide, which will support you spread your weight amazingly on top of the board and maintain powerful balance, and somewhere around five inches wide, which could have been excellent if you ask me.
The board is packed with a relaxed gripping pad covering the lower half of the board, providing you with lots of areas to move around freely and replace positions.
The pad does not just help you stand storage onboard and makes it simpler to get back up on the deck after you dive in the water.
The ISLE has an adjustable carbon paddle and a nine-inch center box fin.
This board has neither D-rings nor bungee cords for board storage, part of the authentic hardboard look.
The ISEL is made to excel in flat water, so do not guess to fly through a wavy surface unless you are an expert.
Anyway, you can surf on this board because it does not look like a surfboard. It also works like one.
This board is meant for starters and intermediate riders, so if you are an expert, you should look at something more to your flavor or maybe invest in an inflatable paddleboard to try something fresh.

Caring For Your SUP Paddle Board
Care Instructions The best way to roll up your inflatable SUP is to lock the air valve in the OPEN position and then start rolling from the opposite side of the air valve to squeeze the most air out.
It’s cool to store your board inflated, if you wish. Do not leave or store in direct sunlight. Rinse your SUP with fresh water after each trip out on the water to keep it in good shape.
Stains can be removed with gentle soap, water, and a rag. Your inflatable board is constructed from military-grade PVC and can withstand most abuse.
However, contact with sharp objects such as rocks, glass, or edges could puncture the outer skin, and you may need professional repair from a boating facility.
When caring for your fin, keep it free and clear of sand and debris, and never over-tighten your screws.
Sometimes, you may notice your fins fit tightly in your box and can be challenging to install.
Don’t worry; your fin box will gradually widen over time, and you can use some sandpaper if it’s still too snug to remove any excess resin from your fin or the interior of the box.

This should allow you to slide it in.
To avoid damage during transportation, please follow these tips.
- Only use straps recommended for paddleboard transportation.
- Pads are recommended to avoid damage to the board and vehicle.
- Always place the board face-up on the racks, with the fin facing the vehicle’s front.
- Do not over-tighten the straps, as this can cause damage to your beloved board.
- Make sure you give adequate spacing between the front and back racks.
- Watch your speed, as having a large board on top of your vehicle can make you experience wind shear.
