Best All Around Stand Up Paddleboard?? | Body Glove Performer SUP Review

Inflatable SUPs have become hugely popular because they're light, affordable, and can get you on the water within minutes. In this review video, I'm reviewing the Body Glove Performer 11 stand up paddle board, which has been one of the best selling SUPs on the market for a couple of years. They've made some changes to the 2022 Body Glove Performer 11, and so the question I'm going to answer is whether or not this SUP deserves to be one of the best selling stand up paddle boards, and who it's designed for.

I got mine at Costco in Oregon for $399.99 with electric pump and everything. Best money I've ever spent.

I got mine at Costco and I must say I love it. I am a first time SUP'er and this board made it feel easy.

😂 the lower Meramec in flood stage, you sir are quite brave with all those strainers. Great video

What a nice board & package. I have the model from 2020 and now this one from 2022. The price remains the same at Costco at $399.99 but right now it’s on sale for $ 319.99 it has been for the last six weeks or so. You can’t beat this package and now it comes with a electric pump which is awesome and also the manual pump which is good. The Hyperlite board from Costco only comes with the electric. It’s nice to have the manual pump in case you end up hiking into a lake.
The new color is perfect. My 2020 model has a lot of white which is not easy to keep clean.
I love the new D ring placement. This board is very well thought out in design.

Found mine lightly used for $100. Love it!

I bought mine two months ago at Costco for $399

I would have loved to see how it goes back in the bag and how long it takes to both blow up and deflate.

I started out paddling on a fiberglass SUP. I just used my new Body Glove yesterday purchased at Costco and I felt it was harder to push through the water than the fiberglass ones Ive used.
It was inflated to 15 PSI but felt a drag when paddling.

I got the Bluefin Cruise Carbon 12’ for $700 and that package was the ultimate to include kayak seat and a 5yr warranty … I did a lot of research before purchasing and never saw Body Glove in the top ten on most review sites … but that’s not uncommon if that site is sponsored however at that price of edging almost $1000.00 in my ( opinion of course ) it lacks comparison to a lot at that price range.. great video 👍🏼

That “water bottle holder” is actually to hold the paddle! Just doubles as a water bottle holder I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

[ThisisEllyB]

Thank you ! This was such a great review . I’m buying one 👏👏

[vivaanghimire]

I bought it for 319 at US Costco yesterday .

[HeadwatersKayak]

Is this the same one Costco sells? Saw one just like this on sale for $319. Seemed to good to be true.

[yjjk]

I got excited when you said inflatable paddleboards have exploded... :P

[tleek]

These are on sale for 299 at Costco right now

[Jman]

That water looks nasty. Up here in the PNW the water is clear. I’m so thankful!

I recently purchased this board at Costco at a terrific price of $279.97. My only real issue with this board I have found is that it's sluggish and I really struggle to paddle straight. I constantly have to switch paddling from one side to the other to attempt to stay on track. So tracking is a pain. I wonder if that 34" makes all the difference in regards to it 😒🤣 Maybe I just don't know how to paddle properly. A nicer would be nice to perhaps get in the future. I use the D rings for my cooler with bungee cords which is great to have a seat on occasion. Just wish I could find a way to make the cooler more stable on the board. So I'm on the fence about returning for something else, Although to get that I'd have to spend a pretty penny more which I'm probably not willing to do since It's not my sole activity lol.

[CharliesadventuresYT]

What were you using to hold the board up?

[seviklingbiel]

I want to get this board. Would I be able to take it on a flight as a checked bag??

Heads up on this new 2022 model! They moved the D-rings (one on each side) farther back from the center making it difficult to attach a stadium seat. I have the 2018 and 2021 model year Performer's and the D-ring placement is much closer to the center handle. I don't know why BG did this as it makes no sense. Regarding the board: one of the absolute best for all around water types, very high build quality, and now for 2022 they include an electric pump and kept the price the same at Costco. Going back to stadium seats, it's a great option to have on those long paddle days or when in rough water since sitting is MUCH more stable than standing..night/day difference. The stadium seat I use on my boards is from WalMart and works well and I can flip it back to stand in the center or flip it down to sit. I usually carry a large DSLR camera with big zoom lens and I need the seat on those trips for stability. Lots of bargains on isup's so check Amazon, look at actual reviews (and not the shill vine reviews where people get free product for a fake review), more D-rings are better for lashing gear or a seat. Check warranty by trying to contact the seller/vendor and see if they are responsive to your questions. It's a hit/miss with these sellers. I do know DAMA sups are very good quality (friend has 2 and I paddled hers) and when her DAMA brand electric pump stopped working, they replaced it quickly. Btw, nice video!
