ISLE’s Inflatable SUP Warranty
Previously, ISLE offered a great 2-year warranty but they’ve recently downgraded that to only 1-year with a 60-day money back guarantee. That’s obviously a big negative, especially when competing companies like iROCKER SUP are offering much more affordable pricing and a better 2-year warranty.
Included Accessories
ISLE includes a nice accessory bundle with their boards. We really like the fact that everything you need to start paddling is right there in the box — something which is obviously a big selling point for beginners who don’t already have a paddle, leash, etc.
Included with all ISLE inflatable paddle boards are the following:
- SUP backpack
- Adjustable 3-piece travel paddle
- Dual-action pump
- Coiled safety leash
- Repair kit
