This is a board that can be shared by adults and kids alike. It is specifically designed for families with added reinforcement in key areas to keep it strong and always ready to hit the water. Near the very front, you’ll find a bungee setup. You can use this cargo space to place a paddleboard cooler boxor bag. The bungees are built-in, saving you the time and headache of having to set it up yourself. Body Glove Performer 11 paddle board is made with triple layer stronger and side rails that enrich the durability and safety of this paddle board. Also, the reinforced nose bumper and two points on the nose enhance the long serving life of the board. Setting up the new board doesn’t take much out of you. You’ve got the option of either using an electric pump with a pressure gauge or a manual one. Both options give you a good fill without taking too long. A fully inflated board in a matter of minutes at most. Speaking of the handle, you get a three-piece handle made from aircraft-grade aluminum. The blade is fiberglass reinforced nylon with a sweet retro wood-grain look.

We found the BG Performer to be quite fun on lakes and slower rivers. In fact, we found it very easy to use on most calm waters. We feel that beginners could take to it easily, because it is a fairly wide and stable board. We would only recommend using it on flat waters of lakes, calm rivers, or bays. One thing to keep in mind is that due to the tapered nose of the board, the amount of space provided to the bungee storage area is less than other paddle boards. If you are searching for a paddleboard that can bring along your entire cache, you may have to keep looking. With the D rings attached, you can also convert this SUP into a full-flagged kayak and enjoy a more relaxed and comfortable fishing adventure. Plus, you can also try your hands with stand-up or fly fishing because of the stunning dimension of this SUP. What Activities Can I Do With Body Glove Performer 11? The fins on Body Glove boards prior to 2018 are quite rubbery and flexible and manufactured at a lower quality. Since 2018, the fins on Body Glove standup paddleboard models have been improved with sturdier, rigid plastic.

Body Glove boards are known for being generally good options for paddle boarders of all skill levels. They are all-inclusive. Despite being best suited for beginners, the Performer 11 is sized in the medium-range category.

I understand more experienced paddlers will scoff at having the fins be non-removable but how many beginners and casuals do you know that would care about such a feature? The answer is not many at all and that is exactly who this board was made for.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. Although it wouldn’t be my personal choice for paddling with a large dog, it is certainly doable if you have the skill or the will. 🙂

Not all bags have side carry handles and we find them really useful for taking the bag in and out of the car. This is what I mean by not having to wrestle with it. Earlier, many of you may have been surprised by the Performer weighing around forty pounds. Certainly more than the average inflatable. This inflatable SUP was designed with families in mind and has several key features that make it very appealing for paddling with kids and dogs.The 34” centre width makes for a nice comfortable platform that any person of any age can feel stable standing on. The reinforced nose bumper is a unique feature to this ISUP and one more thing that makes this board ideal for families with kids.
