Honu Sorrento 12'6'' Touring

Go far, go fast

Forget everything you think you know about inflatable SUP's. This award-winning touring SUP combines technology, materials, and advanced construction to deliver an inspired paddling experience. And it does so in a sleek, timeless style.

When the 2021 Sorrento won the award against the biggest SUP brands in the world, we were already deep into the 2022 redesign. We had some bold plans to take what we already knew to be a great board and make it an industry benchmark, and was in the early stage of prototyping our new rail construction.

We have taken a great board and made it even better! 

Designed for those wanting to paddle further, it has enough anchor points for your backpack, water bottle, snacks and extra clothing. At 12'6" long by 30" wide, the Sorrento paddles easily in a straight line while remaining stable enough for all but total beginner paddle boarders. This sweet spot of speed and stability makes it the perfect board for riders who want to go far, fast, on their morning SUP paddle or lead the way on a weekend camping adventure. 

So what is new in 2022?  The board keeps its 5.9" thickness crafted from our light & strong X-woven material and overall outline, but from here, we launch into a list of improvements, some of which are 100% unique to Honu. The welded rails is something we are very proud of, but as you will see, we have made improvements just about everywhere. 

Welded Carbon Rails 

The rail is now constructed using heat+pressure welding that mechanically fuses the inner rail with a 25mm wide strip. This process is complex and tedious but forms a highly durable join. Then a 50mm carbon rail is bonded into the rail for added stiffness and protection before the outer rail is finally applied. When taking a close look at the rails on the new Sorrento, you will see a series of parallel lines. It is this complexity of our construction that creates these. 

Stacked Carbon Stringers 

The carbon stringer is now reduced to 50mm top and bottom for 2022, but is bonded under a 150mm vinyl strip. This stacked construction has improved the board's stiffness while simplifying the styling of the board, something we are sure our paddlers will appreciate. 

Upgraded Accessories 

It is delivered with the all-new Sorrento SUP backpack with a larger front pocket and improved side storage areas. The wheeled backpack also gets improved shoulder straps that are more contoured and padded for longer hikes into remote paddling spots.

The Sorrento iSUP is backed by our 4-year total care warranty.
