Aqua Marina is one of the few paddle board makers with a full range rather than a single board in nine colours, and that is the main reason to shop the brand rather than the price.<\/p>\n

The line splits cleanly. The All-Around series covers the Vapor, Fusion and Monster and handles everything most people do. Above that sit the touring and race boards, and off to one side are the kayak hybrids and the junior boards.<\/p>\n

Construction runs from single layer drop-stitch on the entry boards to double layer with quad stringers on the Race, which is where the price differences actually come from.<\/p>\n

We compared nine Aqua Marina boards on length, construction, what they are built for and what comes in the package.<\/p>\n
