If you’re looking for a very luxurious board, Yolo Board is the one to go for.
The price on it is pretty high, but it’s worth every penny.
Just looking at the board gives away how high-quality it is. It has a simple color palette: light blue and dark blue with a dash of orange.
You can see the company’s logo and the simple side logo.
YOLO Board is one of the quickest growing companies in the industry, and we believe that it has a lot to do with the staff and quality.
Yes, I’m also amazed but delighted that it was not the name of the brand that made it worthy of a pro review because YOLO Board Inflatable SUP is not playing games.
This company has established a solid ground in the market space thanks to a few of their most appealing SUPs. Though, now we’ll be specifically talking about YOLO Board Inflatable SUP 12″.

Features YOLO Board Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
This paddleboard fits in a custom-designed backpack you are getting.
This means that you can bring the board around if you wish to, and you won’t have any transportation issues.
High-quality construction is essential, and it can be thanked marine-grade rubber that provides extreme durability and quality.
The board is pretty lightweight, and you can carry it around without much trouble.
The 6″ deck is also pretty practical, and you’ll notice that your stability and balance are much better when you are on this board.
There are two bungee systems, a big one for refrigerators, backpacks, or even pet houses, and the small one is usually used for small bags, phone cases, and similar stuff.
You’ll also notice D-rings.
The YOLO board is a bit wider than your other regular boards, which means that it can take more weight.
It is sturdy and provides the best experience when used at 15 PSI.
Besides the board itself, you are getting a backpack, a pump, a pressure gauge, a removable center fin and side fins (for balance), a repair kit, a four-piece paddle that you can adjust…
This board weighs about 22 pounds which is really good for a board this big.
Many people say that they are over 150 pounds and that they act as a hardboard for them.
The only issue is that the manufacturer hasn’t disclosed the maximum weight limit for this board, which means you’ll either have to investigate it yourself or find another board.
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which.
He pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him, he’s always doing both.” – James Michener.
In early 2007, when a mantra of “You Only Live Once” collided with a passion for sharing standup paddleboarding (SUP) with the world, the YOLO Board story began in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Jeff Archer’s first time out on the water was like many people’s first paddleboarding: epic and transformative. In the formative days of the business to follow, Archer would travel delivering his inspired boards around the state of Florida in a van (where he’d also frequently sleep for the night), introducing the zeal of his own experience and a brand new sport to the region.
The picturesque, world-renowned beaches and diverse waterways of Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast proved to be a perfect backdrop for YOLO Board’s business to take root and its mission to grow.
It is a business built on the precept of making SUP easy and accessible for anyone, no matter their age, skill, or fitness level; of producing high quality, artfully designed products; and providing first-rate customer experiences to every member of the ever-growing YOLO Tribe.
The company continues to work each day to empower and inspire by the simple but powerful reminder that “You Only Live Once,”… so make it count!

Design
Length in the board is influential in SUPs specifically as it can make a big difference in terms of performance and, most importantly, consumer convenience. This YOLO Board Inflatable SUP measures up to 12′ in length, which is dazzling!
12′ makes this paddleboard compatible with young adults. Therefore, you might want to consider a paddleboard under the 10′ barrier if you are smaller.
As for the width, this YOLO Board Inflatable SUP reaches out to 32″, which is way better than most SUPs in the market now. A board this wide is significantly steadier, which will improve your balance and, more importantly, your ability to move around on the deck to keep up with the current.
Endurance is considered to be the strength of this YOLO Board Inflatable SUP because this board occurs to measure 6″ in thickness. 6″ mightn’t sound good like much. Still, you will notice a big difference between this board and your standard paddleboard once on the water.
The YOLO Board Inflatable SUP is not susceptible to sinking in the middle under a lot of weight, but most importantly, it is also solid and can handle a lot of weight.
Build Quality
Quality has got to be the biggest competitor on this review because this paddleboard is not playing games.
The YOLO Board Inflatable SUP 12′ is strictly made out of marine-grade rubber that is then sealed using an industrial drop stitch build, making this paddleboard a war machine.
, what the construct of this paddleboard translates to is a board capable of undergoing the most extreme circumstance within its designated surrounding.
So, as long as you use it rightly, be sure that it’ll never get damaged significantly.
Performance
In terms of board performance, I can tell you that this board can perform as fine as the recreational board can, which is not bad at all. Do not get me wrong. This YOLO Board Inflatable SUP can undoubtedly compete with race boards.
Still, it is optimized to be at the expectations of starting and intermediate paddlers that grant more concentrate to navigation and ease of control.

Main Features
Interestingly, even the tiniest details on the board give away how much effort was invested into building YOLO Board Inflatable SUP. Though now we’ll be tackling some of the most amazing features, and it all starts with:
- The paddleboard features a smooth gripping pad, covering nearly half of the platform to guarantee maximum efficiency. An extending place is indeed a delicate touch because it’ll grant you a firmer grip on the paddleboard and significantly improve your control of it. Also, a nice gripping pad will allow you to adjust yourself calmly without risking falling into the water.
- The D-rings plus bungee cord placement on the nose and the other on the board tail are undoubtedly worthy of a few sort of praise as it’s ingenious. This function is one of the most beneficial aspects of the inflatable paddle SUP as it features the best cargo net for anything from your fishing gear to your standards. So, ensure to use it and enjoy a great hands-free experience.
- The YOLO Board Inflatable SUP is also hooked with an additional D-ring on the geared rear of the SUP for safety leash attachment or trying the paddleboard to docks whenever needed.
- The YOLO Board Inflatable SUP 12 feet features a solid navigation system known as the triple fins. This is entirely is successful navigator as it’ll significantly decrease the influence of side currents and incredibly improve straight tracking.
Accessories
Packaging is undoubtedly one of the most influential aspects of decision-making because it can make the whole difference between a fun experience and pain in the back. Luckily for you, the manufacturers behind this board made sure to hook you up with a full package, and it includes:
- This board comes with a solid backpack as it’ll make transporting and storing the 12′ board a piece of cake. You need to deflate YOLO Board Inflatable SUP, roll it up, and slide it inside the back, which can go anyplace. That is the best part about inflatable paddleboards.
- This paddleboard also comes with an extreme pressure air pump, an essential tool in the paddler’s inventory. The pump also comes with a perfect pressure gauge to assist you in inflating your SUP to appropriate degrees.
- The YOLO Board Inflatable SUP also comes with a central removable fin which is a neat touch as it will enable you to remove the big fin when it is shallow water, therefore, preserving it better.
- This paddleboard comes with a three-piece fiber paddle that is strong and lightweight.
