<tc>Byron 10'6 - 2024</tc>

Fantastic board. It felt super stable underfoot from the first time I stood up on it. Plus, the red colour looks sweet in the water. Well done Team Honu!

Highly recommend the Byron boards. Why- Light weight, easy to carry, stable, maneuverable...

My wife and I recently purchased 2 Byron boards. 9'8" for her and 10'6" for me. She is 5'3" 110 and I'm 5'10" 170. Our 1st inflatable paddle boards. Had hesitancy about the purchase as these are narrower than other options. Spent 4 days paddling standing up ~4-5 miles each day and are very happy with their performance. The instructions say don't use in winds higher than 10 knots (about 11 MPH) we used in winds up to ~15 MPH. Going perpendicular to the wind was an adventure, but never fell off.

I used my wife's and it was more responsive and faster while a little less stable, but nothing terrible. I would be confident in using the 9'8" board on a regular basis. Very glad we didn't buy longer or wider boards. The weight of these boards is amazing. My wife could easily carry her board from the parking lot several blocks down a decent slope to the water and back with no issue. Given the light weight a person can easily carry 2 boards, paddle and jacket.

We did sit on the boards and tried kayaking (using the SUP paddle). Even with the SUP paddle could go at a decent rate of speed. Kayak paddle option was not available when we purchased. Will add a kayak paddle for when the winds are higher to sit and make it easier going into or perpendicular to the wind. We just sat directly on the board no seat.

We are happy with our purchase and see years of fun ahead. Thanks Honu for a great product.

We bought the electric pump and it's okay. Takes 12-15 minutes to pump up a board and as it states 2 boards is the max it can inflate before a recharge.

Great board! The board is both very maneuverable and stable. I haven't paddle boarded that much and I've had it out in very irregular and choppy waves on the south shore of Massachusetts and I can bop along playing around in the waves and not get thrown off it. And if you back-paddle you can flip the board around 180 degrees quickly and easily. I got this board because it sits lower in the water and I read online that that makes it better for catching some waves and surfing with it. So far I haven't been lucky enough to be at the beach when there are really good well spaced surfable waves yet but I've caught a few little ones here and there. Super fun! The board seems to tip a bit laterally... but then you hit like a stable point where it won't tip any further. And you learn to trust that the board will be there like a platform to brace against if you trust it. And that initial tipping seems to make it quicker to turn and I imagine will allow you to carve on a wave and steer it.

Excellent all around board. I do not consider it a beginner board. It’s light, nimble and tracks really well. I can even catch some speed. Customer service is great! The team will get back to you nearly immediately if you have any questions or concerns. I hope this board lasts me for a while, but I will definitely be looking at this company if I requiring another board..

The Byron 10'6" is lightweight, durable, & tracks well with the single fin. It's also more connected to the water than a 6" "pool toy" paddleboard. The resilient construction & portability make it the perfect companion for more adventurous explorations without having to constantly second guess the durability as would happen with cheaper boards.

As a petite woman (5'1") learning to paddleboard in the ocean, this board has been an absolute success! It is lightweight enough for me to carry easily, yet incredibly stable and balanced once I'm on the water.I bought it back in 2024 and have been out paddling in the Pacific Ocean as often as the waves and wind permit.
My partner, who is 5'11", has the exact same board and loves it just as much. It handles his height and weight just as smoothly as it handles mine. Highly recommend for both petite and taller humans!
And the customer service was just a good, fast response and great prices.

Fantastic build quality and a great riding board. Very happy with decision to buy a Honu and highly recommend it!

So good bought another. Love Honu boards!

The Byron has been a great board! This was my first paddle board and I love the stability but consistent tracking in the water. Plenty of straps for storage out and about and the carry bag is brilliant for storing not only the board but paddle and PFD! Everything is solid construction and i trust will be fun for years to come!

I recently bought the Honu Byron paddleboard after doing a lot of research. I wasn't initially looking to buy an inflatable, but I am very happy with my choice. I use it mostly in the Midwest on a large lake. The weather hasn't fully cooperated so I have been paddling in windy and higher wave conditions most of the time. The board has been more stable and easier to maneuver than I expected. Very happy with the Honu Byron!
