PEAK All Around 10’6″ SUP Review

PEAK 10'6

The PEAK 10’6″ All Around inflatable SUP is a board that’s designed to be versatile, affordable, and beginner-friendly. This iSUP comes bundled with everything needed to start paddling and it’s currently offered in two colors: blue/gray, and green/gray/white.

Today, the inflatable SUP market has gotten quite crowded as more companies are jumping on this growing segment of the sport. Because of the overwhelming number of options available to paddlers, it’s more important than ever to do your research before making a purchase. In this review, we’ll go over the PEAK All Around SUP’s construction and build quality, features, specs, included accessory bundle, warranty coverage, and were to buy it from.

PEAK 10’6″ All-Around SUP: Board Overview

Measuring 10’6″ x 31″ x 6″ with a weight of 23 pounds, the PEAK 10’6″ All Around iSUP feels very rigid under the feet and provides a fairly stable ride, although at 31″, this board obviously can’t compete with wider boards like the 35″ wide BLACKFIN Model X when it comes to overall stability. While the PEAK 10’6″offers good versatility, those who are just starting out and in need of maximum stability might want to opt for a wider design.

As mentioned, this board is available at the moment in two color options.  The blue looks much nicer than the military-inspired green in our opinion, and the blue/gray combo looks fantastic on the water.

Construction

The PEAK Paddle Board line has always focused on providing inflatable SUPs that are both affordable and durable, incorporating military-grade PVC materials and durable drop-stitch technology. Unfortunately, ISLE (the company behind the affordable PEAK SUP line) seems to have experienced some significant manufacturing issues recently as a large number of people have reported seam leaks and blowouts on PEAK’s new models — even on brand new boards.

Hopefully, the company can get a handle on these quality control issues, but at the moment we can’t recommend PEAK’s inflatables due to the fact that they’re experiencing such a high failure rate. A good alternative to PEAK’s models this season is the new iROCKER paddle board lineup — in addition to their incredibly durable quad-layer PVC construction, iROCKER’s boards come with a nicer bundle of accessories and a better warranty (2-year vs. PEAK’s 1-year).

Features

PEAK 10'6

The top deck of PEAK’s All Around SUP features a comfortable diamond grooved traction pad which provides great grip and is easy to stand on for long periods of time.

Just like the new PEAK Titan and 11′ Expedition, the nose of this board has a 6-point bungee storage system, giving you a super convenient place to secure your belongings when you’re on the water. Many all-around models these days include a 4-point bungee system, which means that the PEAK All Around board offers a bit of additional room for stashing gear. There’s also a grab handle at the nose, which makes it easy to pull the board in and out of the water.

PEAK 10'6

The tail of the PEAK 10’6″ SUP has a single Halkey Roberts valve which works perfectly with the included high-pressure pump. The tail also features a stainless D-ring, which is ideal for attaching the included safety leash.

The underside features a single removable fin, and we’d really love to see two side fins added in the future for increased tracking performance.

What’s Included

PEAK 10'6

PEAK boards come packaged with everything you need to start paddling. In the box you’ll find:

  • 3-piece travel paddle (adjustable)
  • Coiled leash
  • Removable fin
  • High-pressure pump with built-in pressure gauge
  • SUP backpack
  • Waterproof phone case

A nice added touch to this accessory bundle is the fact that several of the items have been color-matched to the board.

Warranty

PEAK boards are backed by a 30-day money back guarantee. If for some reason this board doesn’t meet your expectations, you can return it for a full refund, no questions asked.

PEAK’s inflatable paddle boards also include a 1-year warranty which covers all manufacturer defects.

Where to Buy it

Amazon currently has the PEAK All Around inflatable SUP in stock and they’re also offering free shipping.

Final Thoughts

PEAK 10'6

Overall, the PEAK 10’6″ All Around is a versatile and affordable board that is especially attractive to beginners. We like that it’s packaged with everything that you need to start paddling, as well as the fact that it is offered in two color schemes.

As far as downsides go, stability isn’t as good as it could be due to the board’s 31″ width (if that’s a top priority, a more stable option would be PEAK’s 10′ SUP yoga board). Tracking could also be improved with the addition of two side fins. Last but certainly not least, the high number of reported seam blowouts and leaks is a major concern and until ISLE gets these issues under control, we cannot recommend the PEAK iSUP line. Our favorite affordable all-arounders in the 10′ and 11′ range this season are the iROCKER ALL-AROUND 10′, ALL-AROUND 11′, and iROCKER CRUISER. All three of these boards are affordable, durable, and come with a much better 2-year warranty.
