Product Information

The Bluefin Cruise Carbon boards are in the higher range with a weight of 15.6 kilograms and 19 kilograms respectively. The higher weight comes from the extra carbon layer and extra reinforcement on the side edges. Extra weight is the price you pay for more stiffness. Pump: The single-chamber dual-action pump won’t impress, but with a lot of people opting into an electric pump it maybe doesn’t matter. No matter what, you’ll get your SUP pumped up to the recommended 15-18 PSI without too much struggle.

I’m used to the screw in Powerbox, US or FCS fin systems that feel super secure and I have 100% confidence my fin isn’t going to fall out during the session. Final comments Both the 10’8 and 12ft Bluefin Cruise are 82cm wide, which is pretty normal for an all-round beginner board. I like that Bluefin didn’t make the 12ft wider, because it would really affect its performance on the water and wouldn’t be fun to use.

What Other Inflatable SUPs Should You Consider?

The board has a single air chamber. Unfortunately, Bluefin does not provide any exact information regarding the volume. According to experience, however, it should be well over 500 liters. This ensures an impressively high buoyancy and is the basic requirement to achieve a good performance even with 2 people on the paddle boarding. Bluefin SUP is a friendly, family-owned business with a passionate staff that is dedicated to producing premium inflatable paddle boards at a price point that anyone can afford. While Bluefin’s boards have already enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the UK, the company is now starting to focus on expanding its presence in both the United States and Canada.

In the following part of the review, I go into more detail about the board and the included accessories. At the end of the article, I answer frequently asked questions. Another reason to buy the 12’ is if you are planning on using this as the family board. If you’re likely to have a little one sitting on the front or multiple children splashing around on the board at one time, you will have far more fun with the 12’. The carry bag is easily big enough to fit everything in and it’s very well padded in all the right areas, making it as comfortable as it could possibly be. If it gets really shallow in between, for example on river tours, you can also just ride with the smaller side fins and thus reduce the draft to a maximum. Material and Weight D-rings: one ring on the action cam mount, one ring on the tail (for the leash) and 8 D-rings to attach the kayak seats. The bonded areas of the D-rings are neatly sealed by labeled rubber outlines.With a weight of over 15 kilograms (for the 10’8 variant), the Bluefin Cruise Carbon is quite heavy and weighs significantly more than the normal Bluefin Cruise (only 12.3 kilograms with the same dimensions). In the following presentation, I will go into detail about the Bluefin Cruise Carbon and the accessories that come with it.
