TWO BARE FEET PADDLE BOARD REVIEW | SPORT AIR 10’6


Verdict

The Two Bare Feet Sport Air 10’6 carbon-hybrid package sits at the top of their all-rounder range and before you pump it up its obvious that it has a strong construction with its durable Tough Fusion material. The Sport Air itself is loaded with all the features from extra handles to a decent amount of D-rings while the whole package is very generous including a dry-bag and kayak seat among the usual pump, leash etc…It’s a great example of how high inflatable technology has risen, and how low the price is now to the end user.

Overview

TWO BARE FEET PADDLE BOARD REVIEW | SPORT AIR 10’6

The Sport Air is a bright looking board available in ocean blue or aqua marine. Make a cup of tea before unboxing because there’s a lot to get through with the deluxe pack: 90 litre dry bag, substantial coil leash, removeable kayak style seat, pump, repair kit, one-year warranty card and the three piece Carbon-Hybrid paddle.

Pump it up and you will find four deck mounted accessory D-rings, one tail-mounted leash attachment plus one towing D-ring underneath the nose, one carry handle plus extra straps on the nose and tail, forward bungee storage and a ¾ EVA deck grip.

Underneath is the removable 9” centre fin and two short, wide fixed in side bites.

Brand Claim

The Sport Air 10’6” is a board designed for all-round use under the feet of small to medium sized adults and experienced and confident beginner paddlers alike. Using our premium materials, this is one of our most durable and high-performance SUPs. So, whether you’re looking to advance quickly on flat water and learn new techniques, or want a board that can help you navigate a lineup, catch waves and handle whitewater, the Sport Air should be your new go-to SUP.

Performance

The Sport Air presents convincingly as an all-rounder but rather than go for a standard planform with indistinguishable nose and tail shape, Two Bare Feet have front loaded the volume a bit to give a broad nose and a slightly drawn in tail. This makes sense since the cargo bungee is at the front and that’s also where all dogs end up. Having slightly less volume at the tail lightens the Sport Air up a bit for kick turns and hopping onto little swells.

At 10’6 x 33” the dimensions are practical enough yet light-medium weight paddlers won’t feel like they are paddling a raft around. That said, the Sport Air is plenty big enough for beginner paddlers up to 95kg and will float half that again.

The Sport Air package is already cracking value but what really sets it off is the lightweight, rigid, tough board itself. It will do anything you reasonably ask of it and is durable enough to stand up to bumping off of coastal rocks and even running down a bit of white water river.
