Sorrento Highlights

An award-winning design that has been Independently tested as one of the most rigid paddleboards on the market, while being the lightest. The X-woven material combines carbon stringers and rails that are now welded for ultimate strength & durability. Get all this category-leading performance with a board that still weighs less than 10 Kg
Product Highlight Image

Welded Carbon Rails

The rail construction combines a heat/pressure welded inner rail with a 3K carbon band. This unique construction increases the board's durability and rigidity, and is exclusive to Honu.

Product Highlight Image

Woven & Fused Drop-stitch

X-woven drop-stitch produces the strongest & lightest boards possible. The PVC nylon threads are woven together in a carbon fiber style instead of the usual knitted pattern that results in a stiffer, lighter PVC.

Product Highlight Image

Stacked Carbon Stringers

The top & bottom stringers on the Sorrento combine a 50mm 3K carbon layer with an outer 150mm vinyl stringer that runs nose to tail. This combination provides rigidity and the classic minimal aesthetic Honu boards are known for.

4 Year Total Care Warrenty

Every Honu SUP is covered by our 2+2 warranty. That is 2 years of warranty replacement & 4 years of repair. And that's repair for any damage, not just manufacturing faults.

When the 2021 Sorrento won the award against the biggest SUP brands in the world, we were already deep into the 2022 redesign. We had some bold plans to take what we already knew to be a great board and make it an industry benchmark, and was in the early stage of prototyping our new rail construction.

We have taken a great board and made it even better! 

Designed for those wanting to paddle further, it has enough anchor points for your backpack, water bottle, snacks and extra clothing. At 12'6" long by 30" wide, the Sorrento paddles easily in a straight line while remaining stable enough for all but total beginner paddle boarders. This sweet spot of speed and stability makes it the perfect board for riders who want to go far, fast, on their morning SUP paddle or lead the way on a weekend camping adventure. 

So what is new in 2022?  The board keeps its 5.9" thickness crafted from our light & strong X-woven material and overall outline, but from here, we launch into a list of improvements, some of which are 100% unique to Honu. The welded rails is something we are very proud of, but as you will see, we have made improvements just about everywhere. 

Welded Carbon Rails 

The rail is now constructed using heat+pressure welding that mechanically fuses the inner rail with a 25mm wide strip. This process is complex and tedious but forms a highly durable join. Then a 50mm carbon rail is bonded into the rail for added stiffness and protection before the outer rail is finally applied. When taking a close look at the rails on the new Sorrento, you will see a series of parallel lines. It is this complexity of our construction that creates these. 

Stacked Carbon Stringers 

The carbon stringer is now reduced to 50mm top and bottom for 2022, but is bonded under a 150mm vinyl strip. This stacked construction has improved the board's stiffness while simplifying the styling of the board, something we are sure our paddlers will appreciate. 

Upgraded Accessories 

It is delivered with the all-new Sorrento SUP backpack with a larger front pocket and improved side storage areas. The wheeled backpack also gets improved shoulder straps that are more contoured and padded for longer hikes into remote paddling spots.

The Sorrento iSUP is backed by our 4-year total care warranty.

Board Story

There is a famous ferry that will take you from Melbourne's outskirts and drop you into the port of Sorrento. This little sea village is just as well known for fine dining as it is for long walks on its rugged coastline. Whether you take the Sorrento exploring remote harbors and islands for an afternoon or on a multi-day adventure, this board will be your partner in adventure. It can take you just about anywhere while remaining relaxed and unencumbered throughout the journey.

In The Media

One of the stiffest boards we have ever used. The Sorrento is a standout stiff and light board. Tourers or fast cruisers will love it

LEARN MORE

The Sorrento impressed us in every aspect of our testing, from speed and tracking to overall construction, and even surprised us in the maneuverability category. To be honest, it was pretty difficult to write the ‘cons’ list on the chart at the top of this page.

LEARN MORE

This was a really popular board with everybody and that has shown in the test results. It was a test winner. It's fast, relatively stable and It was a favourite to paddle. And on the deflection test, it was stiff at just 10mm which is great considering its weight. It is stiff & light!

Wife is very happy!

I bought Honu Sorrento for my wife – she is very very happy with it. The board is really well made, and honesty in reality it looks far better than on the photos – it is really beautiful. We've tested the board thoroughly on a 7-days 130km sup-trip along beautiful Polish river Brda. The board did great – it gives possibility to put on reasonable amount of gear, but at the same time it is light and very fast. I am convinced that it is the best board I could have bought for my wife!

The only thing that could be improved in future versions are the handles which could be a bit softer – currently carrying the board for longer while may be uncomfortable.

From nice small things we found the valve on the nose to be very convenient – it makes folding the board so much easier.

I also want to thank the Honu Team and Mark with whom I exchanged a number of emails, for giving me opportunity to realize my crazy idea to purchase the board from US (as the Sea Turtle color was not available in UK). Thank you very much guys!

Having fun

I've had my Sorrento for a few months now, and have had the opportunity to explore ocean, mountain and river. It's sturdy, I find it very stable, it tracks great, and I look forward to doing some multi day trips soon with all the space for gear. It's also classic style and very well made.

Sorrento 12’6”

Fantastic board! Fast, tracks straight even into a breeze, plenty of buoyancy with a couple of kids on board.

Great board and excellent customer service

It’s a great portable touring board with little flex, Tracks well and has glide a little better then you’d expect from an inflatable board. The fin supplied is pretty basic and just molded plastic and swapping out with a G10 or carbon fin adds better tracking performance. The pump is a smaller volume then I’d expect to be provided with a board that requires such a large amount of air but adequate. My first board delivered had some manufacturing faults that were addressed immediately upon notification, A new board was sent immediately without question with the team at Honu going above and beyond to ensure I was happy. The construction has some minor manufacturing cosmetic imperfections but that said it’s backed by a outstanding warranty to give you peace of mind and based on experience they received stand behind it 100%.

Thanks Mark and the Honu Team, I look forward to many hours on the water.

Jay.
