Investing in a paddleboard is like opening a treasure trove of new water hobbies. You can take up the challenge of stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga, or grab a pair of waterproof binoculars and try your hand at birdwatching. You could even bring your lifejacket-wearing pooch along for a bonding float on the lake. And owning your own paddleboard means you can partake in these activities as often as you want, circumventing the trials and tribulations of renting one each time.
For most prospective paddle boarders, the biggest barrier to an adventurous summer on the water is the upfront cost, followed closely by the obstacle of schlepping big, cumbersome equipment from the corner of your garage down to the dock. Luckily, we've found an inflatable paddleboard at Amazon that eliminates both of those problems.
Bifanuo Inflatable Stand-up Paddleboard
Amazon
This Bifanuo best-selling paddleboard kit is under $100 on Amazon and has racked up hundreds of five-star ratings and more than 1,000 purchases just since June. It includes an inflatable paddleboard, a lightweight and collapsible aluminum paddle, a removable stabilizer fin, a safety leash, a hand pump, a patch kit, and a backpack carrier. The board is a little over 10.5 feet long and can hold up to 350 pounds; reviewers said that's large enough to comfortably fit two adults, plus a large dog, making it an affordable option for tandem paddle boarding. Plus, the 32-inch width helps with stability, making this a good pick for beginners since it's easier to balance on in choppy water.
This Amazon-loved paddleboard deflates and packs easily into the trunk of your car, so you don't have to worry about awkwardly strapping it down to your roof racks, only for it to accidentally take flight while driving. Once you've arrived at the lake or beach, simply pull the paddleboard out of its carrying case and use the included hand pump to inflate it. Some shoppers noted this process takes as little as five minutes, while other reviewers have taken all the work out of setting it up by purchasing a separate electric pump that plugs into the DC socket of their car.
'At this price point, I was expecting good but not perfect,' one five-star reviewer wrote. 'Well, I was pleasantly surprised,' they continued, noting that the quality is comparable to more expensive inflatable paddleboards they've used. They add that the included pump—which tells you when you've reached the appropriate pressure—was an added bonus. 'I'll be buying a few more for our lakehouse,' they said.

Other shoppers said they were impressed by the durability at such a low price point, with one five-star reviewer noting that this inflatable paddleboard can endure scraping against rocks while paddling up to the shore. Some shoppers have even flown with them to beachy getaways: 'We took them as checked bags on a trip to the Bahamas, and it was an amazing experience.'
The Bifuano inflatable paddleboard comes in a range of color options, including a vibrant bright pink and yellow version and one covered in black and grey. Surprisingly, reviewers said the latter doesn't get unbearably hot, even during 100-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Prices range from $94 to $120, with the lowest-cost option being a random color chosen by the brand.
