Living in a one-bedroom apartment in the city means every square inch matters. I’ve always wanted to own a paddleboard—but where was I going to store a 10-foot hardboard? My closet’s barely big enough for winter coats.
So for the longest time, I just wrote it off. Renting at the lake was fine, but I missed the spontaneity of just going when I wanted. Then I discovered the SOLSTICE Inflatable SUP, and everything changed.
Here’s what surprised me:
- It packs down small: The whole board fits in a bag that slides neatly into my closet or trunk. No roof rack. No hauling. Just grab, go, and inflate.
- It performs like a hardboard: Honestly, I expected some wobble. But at 15 PSI with its thick drop-stitch build, this thing is solid. I get the glide, stability, and control of a traditional board—without the bulk.
- It made paddleboarding part of my life: I don’t have to plan around rentals or storage anymore. If the sun’s out and I’ve got a free hour, I’m on the water.
For anyone living in a small space but dreaming of big water adventures—this board is your answer. It’s proof that you don’t need a garage to own a high-performance paddleboard.
