With a combination of stability, speed, and style, Fbsport's latest SUP gives its paddlers ultimate portability for easy packing wherever the next adventure awaits. Suitable for any water conditions, the Fire Series weighs less than twenty-seven pounds and comes in bold colors of bright red and green. The deck of the board is spacious and wide enough to bring a furry friend, backpack, or picnic basket along your travels. For an additional fee, you can even purchase a detachable seat on Fbsport’s website to transform the board into a kayak. It provides engaging and exciting experiences for paddlers young and old for a variety of activities like fishing, yoga, and exploring uncharted waters. In the process, it even makes a creative workout for the core helping to build healthy habits for the future.

The paddleboard can be used right out of the box after completing a few straightforward steps. Simply take the board out of the black backpack, attach the hose to the valve located at the nose of the board, and begin pumping with Fbsports dual-action hand pump to the recommended 15 PSI. From start to finish, it took only ten minutes for me to get out on the water. Deflating is just as easy, although I wish the backpack would have been slightly bigger to easily fit the board in without having it fold so precisely. It took a few tries to eventually get it right.

I tested the Fire Series in a wide variety of water environments and was left dazzled by its performance. Thanks to the traction grip on either side of the deck indicating where my feet should be stationary, the fire series made it a seamless and safe transition from sitting to standing. The extendable aluminum paddle and multi-fin setup made the board easy to maneuver and steer as I glided across the water. At an affordable price point under $400, the Fire Series provides unbeatable value. 9.4/10

The Fire Series is available for purchase on Fbsport's website.
