The Portager is made to move.

This is our most popular board because of its portability and versatility. It is one of the highest performing inflatable paddle boards on the market. It has a very comparable feel to our rigid model, called the Loon.

Will this board work for me?

Because the Portager is inflatable, it is very buoyant and fits a very wide range of paddlers. From young children to 350+ lb adults, the board will have the control, stability and balance to support all types.

So excited for Summer

I’ve inflated this board and love it!! It’s still too cold to use it but love the features compared to my old board. The travel case alone is amazing!! Love how the board is easy to inflate and how the after purchase service has been outstanding!

Received as a birthday gift and I am so excited!

I bought an inflatable from Amazon in 2020 not thinking I would fall in love with this sport. It’s been a great beginner board but I am ready for a higher quality inflatable board. My Grandpa gifted me The Portager for my birthday at the end of January. I had researched the heck out of my wants and needs of an inflatable and kept landing at Paddle North. Being a Minnesota girl in Colorado and reading the reviews on The Portager, it was a no-brainer. Now, I just have the long wait for warmer weather before I can use it!

Yet another fabulous Paddle North board!

I was so impressed with this inflatable SUP. I’ve had a different one from a big box store for a few years and it never measured up to my hardboards. It was boggy and slow, but was the only one I could travel with on a plane. We loved our Paddle North Lion hardboard so much I decided to try their inflatable. Love it! It tracks so much better and glides through the water similar to a hardboard. Finally an inflatable I’m excited to use—even when I’m not traveling! It’s so nice and light, has great bungee tie downs for gear, and comes with an extra tail fin specifically for shallow or weedy areas, which is perfect for some of the areas I paddle in the Boundary Waters. I ordered the upgrade that includes the attachable kayak seat & paddle. I’m excited to try those because I frequently use my SUPs as kayaks, and this one has built-in strap downs to attach a nice cushy seat with a back! I’ve been over the moon with everything I’ve purchased from Paddle North. And they’re a local MN company, which I love even more!

Features

Extreme rigidity and buoyancy - made from the highest grade, 1.2mm drop-stitch PVC in a 6" thickness.

No over inflation - a built in pressure regulator monitors pressure, so over inflating beyond capacity is a thing of the past. This is especially important in warm weather environments where intense heat and sunlight can increase pressure quickly when pulled out of the water.

Universal valve - Halkey-Roberts valves allow any type of air compressor or electric pump to be used. They also self-seal, so there's no race to close it (losing valuable air pressure).

Strengthen up to 18 psi - all seams are built to withstand up to 18 psi with our unique 3-layer seam lamination system. It feels like a rigid board on the water.

In short, everything but a life jacket.

Increase Strokes Per Side (SPS):

Inflatable boards naturally sit higher on the water, which can have a negative impact on a board's tracking performance. We've counteracted this by adding in the must-have displacement hull nose shape. This nose cuts the water and increases the Portager's speed and tracking performance.

At 33'' wide and 6'' thick, the Portager remains extremely buoyant and stable up to 350 lbs. Width is the biggest factor linked to stability, and 33'' wide is wider than most boards.
