Before reviewing the inflatable SUPs by Tower paddle boards, it’s worth noting a bit about the company’s profile. It’s a good one.

Gaining a lot of their fame from the exposure gained on the popular TV show Shark Tank, Tower knows how to advertise their products. You have probably seen the videos of an SUV driving over an inflatable paddle board. That’s Tower.

It’s undeniable that they know how to advertise their range of inflatable paddle boards. Tower has been on the market since 2010 and have developed their hard paddle boards into a range of lightweight, durable and maneuverable inflatable paddle boards.

Tower SUP Board Accessories

Tower Sup Baords Accessories

The Tower inflatable paddle board package is quite limited and only includes the bare essentials necessary for functionality. That said, some of these accessories are of good quality and should be considered in the medium range of the market. Specifically, Tower provides a 3 piece adjustable aluminium paddle and a manual high pressure pump.

  • Paddle: The 3 piece adjustable aluminium paddle provided by Tower is a pretty standard one for moving about on the water. It provides a flexible blade that is reinforced with metal ribs, in order to make powerful strokes easily manageable. This paddle is lightweight and durable. It does the job, but the carbon model is better.
  • Pump: The manual high pressure pump is great for blowing up the board in close to 10 minutes to the recommended 11 PSI. However, we would like to see a dual action version with future models of this board as it would make inflation faster and easier.
Further Optional Accessories from Tower
  • Tower 3 piece adjustable carbon kevlar paddle
  • Tower 12v electric paddleboard pump
  • Tower iSUP D-ring accessory

Tower Paddle Board Features

Tower inflatable SUPs are renowned for their durability and stability. The drop stitching construction on all their boards provide a very rigid frame for these boards. The boards are all also made of military grade PVC material called Hypalon, and this multi-layered fabric is what makes these boards so durable.

All the Tower paddle boards have a high-weight capacity, supporting up to two adults, making them ideal for recreational use. Although these boards are virtually indestructible the iSUP range are lightweight making them easily transportable to and from the water. They are also known for the softness of the fabric making them ideal for any yoga paddle boarders.

All Tower inflatable paddle boards come with a pump, paddle and repair kit. Although the package is not as comprehensive as other brands on the market, notably iRocker, this iSUP package is perfect to get you started.

A Tower paddle board is ideal for paddlers who want a recreational or touring board because the stability and maneuverability makes Tower boards perfect for all levels of paddle boarders. The rigid material allows for good tracking and the majority of their boards are fast on the water, ideal for lakes or coastal areas. The most noticeable downfall to the Tower iSUP range packages is that they often don’t include a travel backpack in which to store your board.

Why we recommend Tower SUP Boards

Tower boards and their iSUP range are undeniably durable and stable, making them ideal for paddle boarders of all levels. Their durability and stability make them easy to paddle on without compromising on speed, track or manoeuvrability. The Tower iSUP packages are comprehensive and include the basics required to start your paddle boarding experience.

Tower has a lot of experience in the industry and this shows through their manufacturing of their boards. The materials used ensure stability when on the water and do not compromise on durability. The high-weight capacity makes them ideal for lots of different activities including yoga and recreational paddle boarding.

The Tower iSUP range is comprehensive. It has everything from touring boards to boards made for sport. Put the all-around Adventurer board into the mix and they have successfully made a range which caters to the needs of a variety of levels.

Tower has a great reputation, their products are made out of the best quality and will last you a long time. We like this company quite a bit. They don’t sell through any retailers, ensuring that all their products are bought directly from them and that they can provide each customer with good quality customer care as well as offering a 2 year warranty for each board.
