An award-winning design that has been Independently tested as one of the most rigid paddleboards on the market. The X-woven material combines 3K carbon stringers and rails that are now welded for ultimate strength & durability. Get all this category-leading performance with a board that still weighs just 10 Kg.
When the 2021 Sorrento won the "Best SUP" award against the biggest SUP brands in the world, we were already deep into the redesign process. We had bold plans to take what we knew was a great board and make it an industry benchmark. We were in the early stages of prototyping our completely new rail construction.
Designed for those wanting to paddle further. The Sorrento paddles easily in a straight line while remaining stable enough for all but total beginner paddlers and has enough anchor points for weekend camping tips. This sweet spot of speed and stability makes it the perfect board for riders who want to go far, fast, on their morning paddle, leading a local SUP event or weekend camping adventure.
Crafted from our 5.9" thick X-woven & fused material which is then enhanced by stacked carbon stringers & carbon/ welded rails. The rails are made by using heat+pressure welding to mechanically fuse the inner rail with a 25mm wide strip. Then a 50mm 3K carbon rail is bonded into the rail for added stiffness and protection before the outer rail is finally applied.

From 2023, the Sorrento board no longer comes with a pump or paddle by default, but rather gives you the choice to bundle them in if wanted. This keep our prices sharp and unwanted products (waste) down.
Out of the box, the Sorrento includes:
We will repair or replace your board, new-for-old, if there are any manufacturing issues within the first four years, including loose seams, faulty valves, or traction pad delamination.
Exclusive to Honu, this complex construction uses heat+pressure welding to fuse the inner rail with a 25mm strip. Then a 50mm 3K carbon rail is bonded under the outer rail layer for ultimate stiffness & durability.
Multiple layers of woven drop stitch are fused during the manufacturing process, where the polyester threads running through the vinyl are crisscrossed, similar to carbon fibre, making it light & stiff.
The Carbon II construction uses a 50mm 3K carbon strip under a 150mm viny panel top and bottom. This stacked construction improves the board's stiffness while keeping the design sleek and minimal.
A universal fin system allows the paddler to try different fins to fine-tune the board's performance across various conditions. It also allows for quick replacement should the need arise.
Combining the tactile feel of a diamond grove with the grip of an alligator pattern provides the paddler with a confidence-inspiring platform that feels soft yet solid underfoot.
Last year the 2021 Honu Sorrento was a test winning board in our Touring board. But that didn’t stop Honu from working hard on their 2022 board to make it even better. With its new rail construction the 2022 Honu Sorrento is, for its weight, the stiffest board we have ever tested!
Early days, but this board feels like a gift that will keep on giving.
Definitely looking to accessorize for longer day and multi-day adventures!
Only didn’t get 5 stars because the wrong screw plate was sent. I did get a quick response from Mark though, and the right one arrived in a little over a week.
As for the board, I decided to upgrade from my 10’6, 33” Body Glove Raptor because I wanted to be able to cover more lake in the same amount of time. I’ve taken it out a couple times so far and it seems a little faster but not by much. Stability is good. I was worried with this being a thinner, longer board that I wouldn’t be able to balance on it well. But just after a few seconds, I got use to it and was off! It tracks pretty well too. But most of all, and the main reason that tipped my decision towards getting this board after looking at countless other boards and reading tons of reviews , was that I thought this board was super cute! I’ve already gotten compliments on how cute it is! Overall, I’m happy with my purchase! Next upgrade, is a paddle to go with it!
I have been paddling a Honu Sorrento for almost two years. It's quick, stable, rigid, easy to transport, light to carry in its bag or on my roof racks and it even goes surprisingly well catching waist high waves/runners. If you're looking for a versatile iSUP that's excellent value, I'd recommend checking out the Sorrento.
I bought a Honu Sorrento about 3 weeks ago and am loving it. It is fast for an ISUP and tracks really well. I took it on a camping trip last weekend. It proved even more stable with my dry bags loaded.
Super nice, light weight and rigid SUP. A little more twitchy than the Byron, however after a couple of paddles it becomes very comfortable to paddle. Would highly recommend for advanced beginner/intermediate paddler.
