Airlie Story
Airlie Beach is a hidden gem circled by azure waters and coral reefs. Tucked away in the tropical north, this beach is THE destination to snorkel amongst exotic marine life and relaxing in white sands. Like the beach, our Airlie board is the smallest of the range. Its versatile and solid construction will ensure that all activities can been taken on with confidence. Even the smallest paddlers deserve the beauty of an aquatic adventure.
The Airlie is an inflatable SUP for smaller paddle boarders. Designed for anyone under 60 Kg's, the Airlie is an all-rounder paddleboard best suited to flat water cruising through to small waves and runners. It's construction, materials, and shape produce a board that is ultralight and easy to manoeuvre in the water.
This inflatable SUP adopts the same shape as our larger 10'6 Byron. In addition to the outline and 4.7" thickness and lightweight, like it's bigger Byron Cousin, the Airlie is capable or performing in a range of conditions that will provide confidence and natural skill development for its riders.
The Airlie is constructed with our X-Woven & fused drop-stitch material found throughout the Honu range of inflatable paddleboards. The structure of this material is different from standard double-layer fusion boards and results in boards that are significantly lighter and more rigid. Honu boards are constructed to such a high standard that they now come with our market-leading 4-year total care warranty.

4 YEAR TOTAL CARE WARRANTY
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.
X-WOVEN & FUSED DROP STITCH
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.
UNIVERSAL FIN SYSTEM
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.
TEXTURED DIAMOND TRACTION
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.
Customer Reviews
Very good board for the price and there are not that much inflatable boards for the kids on the market, definitely like it! Very light and stable on flat water and 10y.o can easily manage all the turns and really happy to have her own SUP board.
The bag that comes with the package is superior quality. It’s a smart choice that the package does not include the paddle because our kid already had one and happy with that.
Works really well and super easy to maneuver for my 8yo
Only have been able to try once so far, but was great quality & also great service from Honu.
We purchased this board for my kids who are 9 and 12. My 9 year old loves it and prefers it to our other boards (so our 12 year old doesn’t get to use it much!). It’s light so it’s easy for her to maneuver both on and off the water. It’s well made and easy to inflate. I would recommend this board.
I purchased the Arlie for my now 9 yr old grandsons for their birthday. One of the twins claimed it and was paddling around all afternoon. Perfect fit for the twins!
