Running through Black Friday paddle board deals, there are a lot of ‘deals’ that are not actually that much of a bargain. There are also a lot of deals on the market for lower quality paddle boards that might work to get a taste of the sport, but feature lower pressures, deeper boards etc. which will all make for a much worse paddling experience. We’ve price checked everything in this list to ensure it is a good deal.  

Stand up paddle boards (SUPs) and particularly inflatable stand up paddle boards have been really growing in popularity. The sport has seen a real boom in recent years and interest has only continued to rise post-lockdown as more and more people get into the sport. There are loads of manufacturers out there with paddle board deals to choose from. We’ve selected some of the best Black Friday paddle board deals to get you out on the water and paddling.

The choice between an inflatable or solid stand up paddle board can be tricky. Although the best paddle board for top-end surfing and racing is still generally of solid construction, inflatable paddle boards are justifiably more popular for most recreational uses. A good quality inflatable (i.e. well constructed and able to pump up to sufficiently high pressure) has minimal performance disadvantages, yet will be much more resistant to damage from the inevitable knocks and scrapes.

Reflecting this, most Black Friday paddle board deals targeting the beginner are for the inflatable type as they are increasingly popular with those looking to get into the sport. If you are specifically after a solid board, you can head over to our list of the best paddle boards of 2022 to see which is right for you.

Highpi Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
This paddle board currently on sale at Amazon may not be the cheapest board available in this year’s Black Friday sale, but the 15% off is genuine. As with many of the paddle board deals on offer it includes pump, bag, paddle, leash etc.
Despite the brand name, the 15psi recommended inflation is on the lower end compared to the really premium brands, but it still plenty rigid enough to offer a good paddling experience. It’s also a lot more rigid than many of the really cheap options on the market. It would make a great starter kit for those just getting into the sport.

Roc Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board
Roc paddle boards sit at the budget end of the market. We have heard positive things about the build quality but as we’ve not tested one yet, it’s hard to comment on build quality.
If you’re a beginner and don’t want to commit to a high price tag before trying it out then Roc would be a good option. This Roc paddle board is quite thick so it will be difficult to keep on track when it’s windy and it will be at its best in flat water.
As a package, there is everything you need to get started and out on the water.
Was: $299.95

Best UK Black Friday paddle board deals

ItiWit inflatable stand-up paddleboard
If you’re on a tight budget, Decathlon’s own-brand ItiWit offers an adequate inflatable range for the money and this 11′ x 34″ would be a fair choice for a heavier or less confident rider.
Some rigidity is achieved by increased board thickness (the recommended 15psi of air pressure is on the low side), which makes it ride high in the water so harder to climb back onto and prone to getting blown around. But if you’re new to paddling then this is a good option, currently with 22% off RRP. You will need to buy a pump and a paddle separately too.
Was: £349.99
Now: £269.99 at Decathlon
