Inflatable paddle boards come in to there own when space is at a premium, designed to stow away they take the minimum of space and inflate to a high pressure to give the feel of a ridged fiberglass board.

The Airhead inflatable SUP measures 10 ft. 6 in. and weighs 38.5 lbs. The extra rugged drop stitch construction allows a much higher air pressure than other inflatable technologies. Thousands of tiny threads connect the top and bottom layers. Consequently, it can hold 15 pounds of air pressure, more than the working pressure of other technologies. When you’re out on the water, Na Pali is rigid and will perform like a fiberglass board. A large anti-skid EVA pad provides secure footing. Strap your gear to the 4 D-rings up front. Three removable fins ensure straight tracking and precise maneuvering.

So what are you waiting for the Airhead inflatable is perfect for the whole family… time to get on the water.

Nah Skwell was born and is growing-up at the tip of Brittany, in Finistère.
Deeply rooted in several years of standing-it up, this young brand found its true colours following hours spent practicing the different Stand-Up-Paddling disciplines, and even more hours of discussion in the shaping room.

The Nah Swkell team explored any design option, to try and offer to beginners and top riders alike: innovative and refined shapes, duly proved after hours on the water. Thinner, less voluminous and less cumbersome, those shapes are, nevertheless, more stable and offer beginners true « surfing » sensations from day one, without neglecting accessibility. Competition-proved, the latest Nah-Skwell shapes have allowed brand-manager Bruno Andre to get in the top 3 of Wave-contests and win most long-distance races, in France.

Nah-Skwell shapes are approved for production after hours of free-session in France’s most stunning waves or in the longest distance races! Nah-Skwell shape and development is run by Pascal Gerber & Bruno André, both with 20+ years of experience in the industry. They have learned enough to concentrate on true innovations, those which open the door to new sensations and allow your board to please and surprise you ever more in each new session. At Tridenn, they know that the only is to have one goal: maximise your exhilaration!
