TOWER Classic
PREMIUM Series Paddle Boards
The ORIGINAL invention by Tower in 2011 that disrupted the entire SUP industry, the world’s first 6” thick inflatable paddle boards. We increased iSUP thickness by 50%, which increased rigidity by 325%. Suddenly, you could enjoy the convenience and portability of an inflatable SUP with the stability and speed of a hard board. The SUP industry went from less than 1% inflatable paddle boards to over 90% today as every brand eventually copied our innovation.
We’re still one of the few brands who uses hand glued double layer construction, the gold standard of quality, which is critical when you want maximum rigidity and durability in a 6” inflatable SUP.
Tower iSUPs have received accolades all over the internet for well over a decade. The luxury magazine Robb Report titled one of our Premium Series iSUPs as the #1 SUP worldwide.

Inflatable Paddle Board FAQ
iSUP packages come with a high-pressure hand pump with a special H3 valve and a PSI gauge. It takes about 5-7 minutes to fully inflate your iSUP to the 10-12 PSI we recommend. They are safe to inflate up to about 20 PSI as a safety precaution so you don’t overinflate, but 10-12 PSI is all that’s necessary. Optionally, you can buy an electric pump where you set the desired inflation PSI level, hit start and it does the rest.
Yes, you can use a special high-pressure electric pump suitable for inflatable paddle boards. It will have the required H3 valve. You simply set the desired PSI, hit start, and it will auto-inflate the board. Note, most “inflatable” product pumps won’t cut it as they are not specialized high-pressure pumps, so you will need to buy a pump specifically for high-pressure inflatable SUPs. Additionally, while many people will try to use an air compressor jimmy rigged with an H3 valve, it is extremely easy to overinflate your iSUP this way and blow apart the seams. You board will be ruined. Obviously, use of any compressors voids your warranty.
Our most popular accessory is an electric pump as not everyone enjoys the pre-workout that inflating your paddle board represents. Once people get into the paddle boarding regularly, a carbon fiber paddle is a nice upgrade over the 3-piece fiberglass travel paddles that are included in our iSUP packages. iSUP backpacks are always a handy accessory if you travel a lot. And lastly, if you paddle in shallow water like rivers frequently, a 6” deep river fin is a nice alternative to have over the standard 9” SUP fin.
Extended Product Information
The Yachtsman by Tower is a beautiful inflatable paddle board made with a design eye towards the boating world. In the early days of Tower, we were a regular at fine boat shows all over the world. We learned that boaters loved our inflatable paddle boards, but they had very discriminating tastes when it came to design. This guided our design-centric focus at Tower and our Yachtsman inflatable paddle board was designed just for boaters.
The Yachtsman by Tower Inflatable SUP is made from extremely rugged materials like those you would find on the highly regarded Zodiac boats and extreme river rafts. The amazing rigidity in the Yachtsman is created by thousands of vertically oriented strands of identical length that connect the top deck to the bottom. When inflated, they form a structure that has the rigidity of a piece of plywood, and the thicker you go the exponentially more rigid it gets.
You'll be amazed. We can literally put the front tip of the 10'4" x 6" Yachtsman inflatable paddle board on one chair and the rear tip on another chair and a 200 lb person can stand in the middle and you can barely see the thing flex. Do this with most 4" inflatable SUPs and they will taco almost to the floor. Even 3/4" plywood flooring would probably break over this almost 10' span.
Traditionally, inflatable SUPs were only a consideration for traveling - store one in the cuddy cabin on your yacht, take it with you on the plane, or haul it into that secret mountain lake or river and you can stand up paddle board in the farthest corners of the earth. With the rigidity of the Yachtsman paddle board, an inflatable SUP is now also a viable EPS/Epoxy board alternative for anyone who isn't a die-hard surfer. And it still enjoys all the storage and transportation advantages because it's an inflatable paddle board.
- Easier to store - When rolled up, it's 1 foot in diameter and 33" wide.
- Indestructible - Never worry again about dings and board cracks. I've literally thrown these things off a 2nd story deck and I frequently set it down anywhere (gravel, a parking lot, even on cement stairs).
- Easier to transport - No need for roof racks. About the size of a rolled sleeping bag, it easily fits in any car or boat, can be checked on a plane, and can even be strapped onto a bicycle or motorcycle.
- Softer - You can literally play bumper boats with these. Kids can jump from one board to the other like they're jumping on an inner tube. You won't get knocked out in the waves either.
- Easy on the feet - While very rigid, the air does cushion your feet a lot more than a hard board, no matter how good the deck pad is.
The Reviews Are In!
Love it
We decided to purchase this board after trying our cousins. Best purchase! The board is so stable and feels like a hard board even though it’s SUP. It just glides in the water and is stable!
I purchased a Tower Adventure 1 board 10 years ago and had many wonderful paddles. When that board ran it's course I knew I wanted to replace it with another Tower board. Tower has incredible customer service and their boards are great quality. My new yachtsman board had some unexpected upgrades that I really appreciate. The handle on my old board had hardened, making it dig into my hand when carrying it. The new board has extra padding on the handle - very appreciated. It seems like the new board inflates more quickly than my old board, getting me on the water faster. The paddle also seems to be a higher quality. Plus, the yachtsman is so much more stylish than my Adventure 1. Tower just keeps making better and better products.
Just purchased the board only option and did a 10 mile river trip. I have been paddleboarding for 5 years. This tower is a fairly small and light. Great for fairly calm water, and people that arn't oversized. It has an elevated pointy tip so it's good for turning, maybe too good at times. Without the third fin it requires switching hands every paddle or two. Its a fun fast board and stable enough. For larger folks, fisherman, or those who take their dogs, a larger board would be a more stable option. I enjoyed my first ten miles, but since I normally take the dog, or a fishing pole, I think I'll use this one less than my other board. I would recommend for many, but not for all.
Absolutely love this board! I take my dog out on it. So stylish and sturdy.
Great board. Rides like a hard board. Sturdy but light. Rugged. Great product.
I was a bit weary of buying an inflatable board, but these are fantastic ! I cannot say enough good things about their durability and quality. I will definitely be purchasing more !
My expectations were surpassed once I used the automatic pump and got on the water. Items were exactly as described and shipping was quick. Highly recommend!

Board is a decent board, but I don't love how they pretend this is a $1000+ board that they are 'discounting' to $499. Paddle is pretty standard for $350-400 Amazon type board. I don't have a problem with the board, just with how they are trying to make this sound like a high-end board when it's clearly an intro level board.
