Sorrento 12'6

Excellent choice my New Sorrento 12’6 which we have been enjoying the last 10 during our summer break. Although it is a bit windy (>5BF) it drives very smoothly, well controlled and manoeuvrable. Thank you for the assistance during transportation, very much appreciated. Panos

The Sorrento is made of high quality robust materials and therefore you are fast in the water and lightweight when carrying the board to the water. I love taking care of it and I can see how this board is going to last me many years to come.

I firmly believe there is no better brand than HONU when it comes to quality standup paddle boards. They have only elevated the highest of standards for performance and quality of construction. Northern Explorer Supply is extremely proud to be a key partner in getting people on these boards, matched up with everything—including HONU’s superior accessories—and engaged with the brand for life. Mark is, in particular, on the ball with everything. Our trust could not be better placed in any other SUP brand. Thank you for everything.

I bought the Sorrento after using an entry level all around board for a few years and have noticed a HUGE difference! The Honu is so much faster and smoother and I haven't had any issues balancing even though it's narrower than my first board. One of the selling points was the rear cargo area since I'm often out all day with a bunch of gear and a cooler. The white elastics look kind of odd and unfinished so I'll probably replace it with a regular crisscross bungee at some point. Other than that, no notes! It's a visually pleasing board that paddles like a dream.

The board is of exceptional quality.

It's a pleasure to use this board. Even from the setup you can tell you've purchased quality. It's fun to take on the water. For me this board is a little shaky in the open ocean. Definitely erforms better on the lake. If I'm being picky, it's hard to clean the dirt off of the footpad, and I wish the screws held a little tighter on the three-piece paddle. They need to be re-tightened after every ride. Having said all that. I have no regrets, an exceptional purchase and a lot of fun to use.

Very stiff, glides nicely across the water, Lightweight Fast and great tracking. Handles waves and chop fine. It is made for paddling. Stability is good for a 30 inch wide board, it is more stable when moving vs standing still. The Board looks nice and is very well built. Plenty of tie down areas for gear, you could easily pack enough for a camping trip. Customer service was great when updating me on my order status. Shipped exactly when they said it would free shipping. Would be cool if you could put a sail on it Mark?

This is my first higher end isup and worth every penny. The shape and quality is top notch. The board handles very well but definitely requires a bit of skill so better for intermediates at least or a beginner who is fit and comfortable balancing. Mark and team are great. I cant recommend this board highly enough. Buy it!!

This board is so fucking cool. I started supping on a fibreglass 10ft board but recently had to uphaul my life from a pristine tiny coastal town to the city and i didn't want to have to not SUP board anymore. I'm more of a tourer on the SUP than a surfer or anything else, I like to get kms in. This board is so hard its not even funny, I couldn't believe that part considering it is inflatable. Unfortunately for me though I'm a 59kg woman who does if I'm being completely honest struggle to get that last little bit of air into it to reach 18psi, pretty exhausting for me and then folding it back up was a little funny at first but you get the hang of it, I don't think the pump quite fits in the bag either (the bag with wheels is so fucking good too, not knocking it!) So you'll need to carry that separately somehow. On the bag, i am so stoked it came with the board! I should've provably got a better paddle though. I started at bottom range there, its kind of small (the actual surface area of the paddle that strikes the water) compared to the one I had on my other board but I mean I can always swap. Beautiful work by Honu, stoked it went ahead with this. And with a pretty insane weight rating I can pop my nieces and nephews on there with me, potentially a dog, I can carry a mate so long as their not over 75kg 😂🙌 fantastic work guys. Appreciate it.

The ease of cutting through the water, the rigidity of the board, the peace this things brings is worth its weight in gold

I bought a board before the honu and its tracking was terrible which led me into a search for a better tracking board that was also faster and this board does it all. I even bought another board for my husband who also loves it. if you’re questioning whether to buy it, I would say yes.
