Switch It Up! SUP or Kayak? Both!

Today I have a cool opportunity to try out the Switch by ISLE. It’s a 2 in 1 - Inflatable Kayak & Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP). The marketing company for ISLE reached out to me and offered to let me try the Switch for two weeks. I jumped at the chance as I have been wanting to try this boat out (especially for yoga). Nothing was required of me for getting this sample kayak. All thoughts are truly my experience!
*It does come with a hand pump but I used my power pump to inflate everything. I did not try the hand pump but it does look well made and I brought it as a backup to my pump.
ISLE has a great getting started video on setting up the Switch: • ISLE 11'6 SWITCH Users...

So glad you're enjoying the Switch! Quick tip for easier turning is to place the seat slightly further back on the board 🙂

Great tip, thanks!

So glad I saw this. I just got my Switch and I can’t wait to try it out. It really nice hearing your moms comments because I’m close to her age and was worried that the Switch might not work out for me. Hoping to get the kids and grandkids on it also!

Nice review of the SUP. Hopefully Isle will gift it to you. The company should send you a Solo Stove and ask you to be a brand ambassador for all their products.

I actually own a Solo Stove and love it!

Great review Steph. My family has been considering buying the switch for RVing. It was great to hear that it was stable and comfortable.

Nice review. The kayak seem very sturdy while you did yoga. Very cool!🧘‍♀️

It was!

I have hard shell and inflatable kayaks. We are looking for another tandem inflatable. I found an Isle video in another search. Then came across your video. This would be my perfect SupYak if they had a longer version. As my plan would be for my wife and I to use it tandem nearly 100% of the time

Would the extra length be for cargo, or just more legroom?
I’ve been considering the Switch as a lightweight tandem kayak for two adults (in addition to SUP duties), but the 14’ Explorer Pro has also caught my eye.
Unfortunately, the Explorer Pro is also 40% heavier with lower capacity, but it is apparently noticeably more rigid and probably tracks better and is faster.

Thanks for sharing

Please tell me the brand & model # of your little air pump.

Just something I got on amazon. It has worked pretty well. Sometimes we have to restart it but it hasn't failed yet: amzn.to/3FVVfSO

Could this conversation be used on a different brand?
