Hard-top SUP
Great ride, but you need storage, roof racks, and enough patience to move it around town.

Most SUPs make you pick a problem.
Hard-tops ride well but own your garage. Inflatables fit anywhere but ask you to compromise on feel.
Inflatable SUP
Compact, but every session starts with pumping and ends with a softer, less connected ride.
3-piece foam SUP
Packs down for the car, snaps together quickly, and keeps the rigid feel people want from a real board.
Shop the Tahoe
3 rigid sectionsHow the 3-piece works
Three pieces. One solid board.
Stainless cam-locks snap the nose, middle, and tail into a rigid hull. No flex, no tools, and no pump.
01
Closed-cell foam core
Waterproof construction that keeps the board light and prevents waterlogged sessions.
02
Stainless cam-locks
Marine-grade hardware pulls each section tight so the board feels connected under your feet.
03
Packs to 40 x 36 x 12
Breaks down into a trunk-friendly stack for apartments, cars, and tight storage.
Ready in 60 seconds
Trunk to water before they finish pumping.
No pump. No PSI drama. No tools. Just four moves between the car and your first stroke.
Snap & lock
Slide sections into the connector tubes and let the cam-locks click.
Seal tight
Flip each lock and seal the sections into one continuous hull.
Paddle & play
Drop the fin, extend the paddle, and step onto a rigid ride.
Stow in trunk
Pull apart, restack the bag, and slide it behind the seat.
Everything in the box
One price. Ready to paddle.
The Tahoe ships complete with everything you need for your first session: board, paddle, leash, fin, and carry bag.
