Carsten K – Munich, Germany

First Time I saw the 14′ Sprinter carbon, I had to call it “black beauty”. The first thing I noticed is that it is much more stabile than the one from the year before. Just a few strokes, and the … More

Mark S – Ottawa Canada

The Chopper is a confidence inspiring board. It is steady and predictable so you can focus on the next move. It is a great board for first time wave riders but answers the call when you want to carve. Not … More

Mo F – Haleiwa, Hawaii

I first surfed the Push at the World Tour on the Big Island of Hawaii during the trials and advanced to the main event. It goes easy from rail to rail, and it’s super good on all kinds of waves. I … More

Aaron K – Ocoee, Tennessee

I’ve been using the Rapidfire for over a year and Its new name is the Enabler.  It enables you to run class 3 -4 with the confidence that an inflatable lacks. For medium to hard whitewater this is my board of choice.  The … More

Anthony D – San Diego California

The Imagine Spitfire takes whitewater SUP to the next level. While the Rapidfire drives through the river, the Spitfire dances on top of the whitewater. However, with this agility you lose stability. The sensation of SUPing the Spitfire is much … More

Chris T – Blue Ridge Georgia

I am excited about the new Angler. It’s the perfect platform for fishing in our mountain region of Georgia. I love the perspective by standing  sighting fish and cover, watching strikes and stealth on water. Stability is amazing. Fly casting … More

Shaan M – Christchurch, New Zealand

When paddling this board, the over-riding feeling is safety and stability. You don’t get the side-to-side wobbliness inherent in most SUP’s because of the width to length ratio. The standing position is well inboard, with substantial gunwales between you and … More

The Surfer is very stable and Easy for all. We have had over 35 people demo the wave and no one has fallen in the water, from a 6 year old to a 285 lb man. We have had multiple … More

Tim R – Dana Point California

While the Adventure might not be a “race board,” it sure competes with them. When I rolled up for the Dana Point Ocean Challenge and spotted the Imagine sales rep sporting a massive plastic board I figured that it would … More

Donnie – San Diego, California

The Imagine Cutback is the highest performance SUP I’ve ridden. Paddling this board is difficult even for seasoned SUPers, but the rewards are gratifying once you catch a wave. It’s super nimble on a wave, and you’ll be pulling short … More

Aaron L – Honolulu, Hawaii

The enigma is fast on the waves,  able to hit the critical spots with precision and crazy fun.  The flat deck and thin rails make it very comfortable for such a short narrow SUP.  If you want an aggressive board … More

Donica S – Kona, Hawaii

Four months ago I got an 8’6″ Enigma and my surfing has shifted gears. I turn harder with ease. Every session is the best ever – especially low tide morning glass… but seriously even on high tide, windy days. I … More

Tim R – Dana Point, California

I have ridden the Enigma in one foot wind chopped slop and six to eight foot low tide dredging barrels. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the dredging barrels were more fun, but riding crappy chop slop on … More
