The Glide 02 Angler Inflatable Fishing Board is perfect for anyone who likes to travel but has limited storage space. They can conveniently store this board in a backpack, taking it on their next adventure. This ISUP has an extra-wide and flat bottom for stability. Easy to maneuver, it is excellent for fishing, yoga, and paddle boarding.

The inflatable paddle board has comfortable handles on the nose and tail. This allows easy transportation to and from the water. It includes US Style Fin Box, reinforced rails, 4 deck mounts for accessories, and a D-Ring under the nose for towing another stand up paddle board. The large cargo area keeps personal items secured to the deck. The front and rear of the board have bungees for storage, making it perfect for a cooler full of drinks and snacks.

Made with Fusion Technology and Military Grade PVC, this board is stiff as well as durable. Military Grade PVC guarantees an airtight and water-resistant seam. The textured, non-slip deck pad is made with a die-cut EVA. This ensures colors do not fade or wear off.
