On this site, we mention certain factors that you should look for when looking to buy an iSUP. Our review here of the Solstice Bali iSUP is helpful, not just for the board itself, but what to look for if you’re looking at other budget boards. For instance, the thickness of this board is 4”. While more expensive boards come at 6” or 8”, the Bali is thick enough to get you around without any noticeable banding.
