The Aqua Spirit Barracuda 10'6 SUP is a 2-in-1 inflatable paddleboard that converts to a kayak in minutes. Clip on the cushioned seat, add the extra paddle blade and you have a sit-down kayak instead of a stand-up board. It measures 320cm x 79cm x 15cm and holds up to 150kg, so it works for solo paddlers or two adults sharing a trip.
Built from high-density PVC drop-stitch material, the board stays rigid whether you're standing to paddle or sitting to kayak. It has 8 D-rings, a bungee cord for gear and a Go-Pro mount for filming your session.
The kit includes a 4-piece aluminium paddle, kayak seat, double-action pump, fin, leash, shoulder strap, change mat, phone case, bottle holder and backpack. Everything packs away for storage in a cupboard or car boot. No roof rack needed.
Using the included double-action hand pump, most people reach the recommended 15 PSI in around 10 minutes. Inflation gets noticeably harder above 8 PSI, so expect the last few pumps to take more effort. An electric pump will speed this up if you plan to use the board often.
Yes. The board supports riders up to 150kg total, so two average-weight adults can paddle together. Several buyers report using it this way without stability problems, though it sits lower in the water with two people aboard.
Aqua Spirit offers a 2-year warranty on the Barracuda 10'6 SUP, covering manufacturing defects in the board itself.
The kit includes a 4-piece aluminium paddle with a kayak blade attachment, a cushioned kayak seat, a double-action hand pump, a central fin, an ankle leash, a shoulder strap, a change mat, a waterproof phone case, a bottle holder and a carry backpack.
Clip the cushioned kayak seat onto the D-rings positioned on the sides of the board. Then attach the additional blade to the paddle to create a double-sided kayak paddle. The whole process takes a few minutes and needs no tools.
The board itself weighs 2.6kg when deflated. Once rolled up it packs into the included backpack along with the paddle, pump and other accessories, making it manageable to carry to the water on the included shoulder straps.
Yes. The raised touring nose and grooved foot pad give a stable platform for people standing up for the first time. Reviewers with no prior experience report feeling confident within an hour of use on calm water.
The board holds riders up to 150kg. It is not suitable for children under 14 years old and should be used under direct adult supervision at all times, particularly by younger or less experienced paddlers.
