Body Glove SUP Reviews

Body Glove Performer 11′ 2020

Body Glove’s most popular inflatable SUP board, the Performer 11′ is a really fun all-around iSUP that’s priced very affordably. Perfect for beginners and families, this board offers good stability and the tapered nose allows the board to cut through wind and chow well.

Like Body Glove’s other iSUPs, the Performer 11′ comes with everything you need to get on the water and it’s extremely easy to set up. The front bungee storage area provides a secure place to stash your gear while you’re paddling and the rubber bumper on the underside of the board’s nose adds additional durability.

Body Glove Raptor Plus

A board that is very similar to the popular Performer 11′ but designed for smaller paddlers, the Body Glove Raptor Plus is another versatile all-around iSUP that can pretty much do it all. Measuring 10’8″ x 33″ x 5″ and weighing in at 22 pounds, the Raptor Plus can support up to 300 pounds of weight.

This is another excellent board for SUP newcomers and families. It’s slightly shorter, narrower, and thinner than the Performer 11′ and also comes with a full bundle of SUP accessories. The Raptor Plus features a front bungee cargo area, multi-purpose carry handle which can secure your water bottle, durable nose bumper, and fixed tri-fin configuration.

Body Glove Mariner XL

The Body Glove Mariner XL offers the same great design as the regular Mariner fishing iSUP but adds an extra inch of thickness for increased rigidity and buoyancy. This board is ideal for larger anglers and it packs the same great features as the thinner Mariner — front bungee cargo area, Railblaza mounts, D-ring attachment points on the rails, and more.

SUP fishing has really caught on over the past several years as more and more anglers are discovering that paddle boards are the ultimate fishing platform when it comes to maneuverability, portability, and affordability.

Body Glove Oasis

The Body Glove Oasis is a model that was designed specifically with SUP fitness workouts in mind. Featuring a comfortable brushed traction pad that extends from the nose all the way to the tail, the Oasis is an extremely stable board that provides a massive surface area to perform stretches and exercises on.

Located at the nose of the board is a grab handle and small 4-point bungee storage area for securing your water bottle or dry bag. There’s a second grab handle at the board’s tail and located mid-board are paddle holders which can be used to secure your SUP paddle while you’re working out.

Body Glove Navigator Plus

The Body Glove Navigator Plus offers the same basic design as the company’s Mantra model but shaves an inch off the overall width and features a design that is less female-focused.

The Navigator Plus measures 10’6″ x 33″ x 5.4″ and it weighs in at 24 pounds. Due to the fact that this board is slightly narrower than the 34″ wide Mantra, it won’t offer quite as much stability but it’s still an incredibly stable board on the water.

If you’re looking for a versatile and stable all-around board that will work well for a variety of activities and conditions, the Body Glove Navigator Plus is a model worth considering.

Body Glove Warranty Information

There is no published return policy for Body Glove that we could find.  Body Glove boards that we’ve previously reviewed carried a 1-year warranty, but we haven’t been able to confirm any current warranty information on their website.  

Known for their wetsuits and PFDs, the website warranty specifically addresses those products but doesn’t mention iSUPs. 

We are disappointed that they sell their boards online without support information so we suggest having a thorough conversation with the staff at your place of purchase before you buy.
