We will continue with a general overview of the boards offered by Costco and some details about them. What makes the Body Glove Performer one of the most popular standup paddleboards on the waves today? We took it for a spin to find out for ourselves.

Let’s begin with the superstar of the Body Glove lineup—the 11-foot long Performer iSUP. The Performer is the Body Glove standup paddleboard model that draws the most attention and became the top-selling paddleboard in the world in 2020.

What Other Inflatable SUPs Should You Consider?

Body Glove is really catering to shared paddleboard adventures with six options in their lineup for two-person SUPYAKs. These models that can easily transform between kayaking and paddleboarding are the best choice for family and social excursions. There are really no major differences between the two-person SUPYAK models as they all have the same overall dimensions and 500-pound capacity rating, with the exception of the Tango which is 13 feet long. In the high price range at Costco, we find two fiberglass boards. Naturally, given that Costco is a low-price store, their most expensive boards are not really that expensive!

I’m going to use the next two sections to break down Performer 11. First, I’ll be starting off with the build and features that make up the body of Performer 11. What each part does and how that affects the ride of this fantastic board. This can become an issue for several reasons. First, should one of the fins break or receive damage of any kind, then that is it for your paddleboard. You won’t be able to swap them out and you’ll have to make do with a repair gear. Even then, there is some damage that no one can fix.Unfortunately, the Body Glove Performer 11 does not have a rounded nose like the all-arounder paddleboards, neither does it have a removable, adjustable fin system. Thus, this SUP board’s not the best when it comes to versatility. When playing on the water, more people = more fun. Enter the Body Glove Crusader and Big Boy models, constructed as multi-person paddleboards to be enjoyed among family and friends. I haven’t seen this feature on other paddleboards and overall the Oasis is the Body Glove paddleboard that is at the top of my wishlist for yoga and fitness boards and my favorite of the Body Glove lineup. The Oasis can easily link to other Oasis models as well as the Kayoga model to secure a fleet together as a floating yoga studio. Body Glove paddleboards are designed to be very stable with the inflatable all-around, touring, fishing and yoga paddleboards all having a width of 33 or 34 inches. The rigid Body Glove standup paddleboard models are 32 inches wide. The Body Glove SUPYAKs range from 31 to 34 inches wide with tandem SUPYAKs all designed at 34 inches in width. Body Glove multi-person inflatable paddleboards are 66 inches wide.
