The Vilano Navigator Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Package

There's nothing like spending a nice weekend on the water to get away from your routine and do something different. The Vilano Navigator iSUP is one of the most popular paddle boards that you can find at the moment, and it's not only great for some fun in the sun, but also excellent for core exercises because of its narrow line while making it good for speed.

The Vilano Navigator inflatable paddle board is 10' long and comes with a color choice of either blue-grey, grey-orange or white-blue. You will find it at an affordable price with the following specs:

Specifications

  • Size: Deflated it's only 1 foot in diameter by 36″. Inflated size: 10′ x 31″ x 6″ Thick.
  • Material: High grade PVC material with Korean Drop-Stitch.
  • Warranty: 1 year Manufacturer's Warranty covers workmanship and material.
  • Deck: pad is textured and comfy; diamond groove traction equipped with one front towing D-ring and 6 additional D-rings on the body, four of them used for the bungee system. There is no rear surf leash D-ring. Plus, it includes a bungee system to attach coolers or gear.
  • Package: board, pump with integrated pressure gauge, 3-Piece aluminum paddle, removable fin and backpack carry bag.
  • Weight capacity: 250 lbs.
  • Transport Weight: 22.5 lbs.

What You Get

The Vilano Navigator iSUP is available in more color variations and can hold more weight than similar boards at this price point. The seams of this board are smooth, flat, with no bubbles or dimples. When deflated, the board and paddle fit easily into the provided backpack making transport a breeze! This paddle board is designed with your comfort in mind and usually pumps up really hard at around 15psi even though the recommended inflation pressure is 18psi.

Pros

  • Paddle breaks down to 3 pieces..
  • Very lightweight for an iSUP.
  • Good paddle board for flat water lakes and slow rivers.
  • Quick to inflate.

Cons

  • Heavy clunky paddle with no finger/palm grips and not adjustable, but is a piece that can easily be replaced.
  • Board has nonstandard fin and fin clamp, which might be difficult to replace (if needed).
  • The repair kit doesn't include PVC glue.

Overall

This board is by no means a board designed for hardcore users, but for those wanting to get out on the water over the weekend. Sometimes it sits a just couple of inches higher in the water so it's great to exercise balance and core strength. Throw a cooler under the front straps and explore for hours or bring a tackle box and fishing pole- either way you will surely have a great time. Once you're done for the day, you'll be able to deflate the board easily and store it again in its backpack (which makes it simple to carry it anywhere).

The Vilano Navigator is both comfortable and practical, and it will provide you all the pleasures of stand-up paddle boarding while saving you some money with a recognized brand in the world of water sports.
