Sorrento Highlights

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: 

  • Heavy duty bag-pack made from 1680D Ballistic Nylon
  • 9" Touring ClickFin from Air 7
  • Valve tool & repair kit
  • Safety Leash

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.

WELDED 3K CARBON RAILS

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.

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.

3K CARBON STRINGERS

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.

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.

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!

I'm loving my Sorrento!

I was in the market for a new board after my old SUP finally died and after reading many reviews and researching the myriad options I settled on the Honu Sorrento. The dimensions, weight, price, and company values all fit my goals so I made the purchase. I'm so glad I chose the Sorrento! It's incredibly light and rigid as all the reviews stated, but I truly was surprised at how much I appreciated these features. It's so easy to carry to the water and it handles like a dream. It's the best tracking board I've paddled, and easily holds all my gear for touring. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and the excellent personal customer service is the icing on the cake. I can't say enough good about this board, I love it! Thanks Mark and the whole Honu team for making such a great product.

Sorrento - absolute beginner

This is my first SUP. And my only experience was about 10 years ago on a rigid one.

I was worried I should have ordered something wider and more suitable for beginners, like Byron or Fairlight... In the meantime I thought I'd eventually like to go long distances, so I didn't want to buy something I'll grow out of quickly. Maybe )

Received 2 weeks ago, looking great! I did have a problem with the fin box though, I could hardly secure that screw into the square nut, it had to be pushed all the way down and still I could only manage to fit the screw in the nut when the nut was specifically oriented... And it was still a squeeze. I wrote to Honu support at 11 PM and Mark answered at 01 AM which was surprising. He said I got "old" fin and they would send me a new one with easy insertion, which I received 2 days later. Free.

This new fin uses polyurethane inserts and I believe, manufactured by these guys https://www.clickfins.com/

No need to screw bolt in the nut now. you just need to push fin in place and after pull it out.

The board: Again I was worried about instability. and it did feel a bit wobbly)

First run was for about 30 minutes, felt once,

Second run 1 hour, didn't fall, but I didn't try to make any maneuvers like pivot turn, was very careful. I also watched these videos about how to brace and increase stability

Another one I liked is about how to walk on…

An excellent board!

I have been a Red Paddle user for 12 years. I wanted to add a touring board to my collection but didn't need another pump or paddle; just sell me a board. My fellow SUP instructors recommended Honu, which is a rare company that will sell boards alone. As an American, Honu was new to me, but its free return policy and four-year warranty convinced me to give the company a try. I am so glad I did. This board is impressive! It is smooth, fast, and stable. I am amazed that at only 4.7" thick it is nearly as stiff as a hard board. These folks know how to make a SUP!

Wonderful Board

Ive had the Sorrento for a few weeks now and really love this boards. The first think i noticed as soon as i started paddling with it was the speed, as well as the smoothness of the glide. It just wants to go. Its definitely a little less stable than my other 3 boards, but for all the right reasons. The board glides and maneuvers beautifully. The shaping that makes it a little quicker on tippiness is also what makes it so responsive and fun. This biard will make me a better paddler.
