Paddle Board Highlights

Who is it for?

If you’re looking for an affordable yet stylish inflatable paddle board that is good for a mix of touring and all-around paddling, check out the Super Nova from Aztron. This standup paddle board is lightweight and stable so beginner paddlers should be able to handle and paddle the board without issue. This board comes with a complete package and everything you need to get started and on the water. The package includes: a leash, a four piece paddle, a dual action pump, a highlighter yellow square backpack, as well as a bungee to go on the nose. This paddle board is best suited for short range paddling and in calm, flatwater conditions. Priced at $429 USD, the Super Nova sits in the low price point tier and is among the most affordable ones you can find.

First Impressions

The Super Nova measures at 11 feet long, 32 inches wide, and 6 inches thick. At first glance, its vibrant colors and graphics make it really pop in a crowd. It showcases a beautiful combination of teal blue, with pops of highlighter yellow, and lime green throughout. The white deckpad and the matching yellow carry bag further complement the color scheme. What sets this board apart, especially considering its price range, is the utilization of double chamber technology, which adds an invaluable safety element to the package. Typically found in more expensive inflatables, this feature deserves special attention. On another note, one thing to point out is that when we pumped the board to the recommended 15 PSI, we noticed that the nose of the board didn’t look fully inflated with the indentations there. Something to keep in mind. Aside from that, the board is lightweight making it effortless to transport to the water's edge. Once on the water, the board exhibits moderate stability but provides a smooth glide. One thing that we think could be improved here would be to extend the deck pad down to the tail of the board so there’s more grip there. Having that added grip is really helpful when doing pivot turns and without it can get slippery. Overall, the Aztron Super Nova represents a nice choice for budget-conscious families or individuals looking to start paddleboarding.

Benefits

  • Primary Use

    All Around

    Paddle Boards fall into two broad categories, All-Around and Specialty boards, with all-around designed primarily for recreation while speciality boards for top performance in specific disciplines

  • Durability

    Durable

    Durability is largely a result of the board construction and shape, with more durable boards typically carrying more materials (added layers, PVC, etc) and as such adding to the weight.

  • Carrying

    Very Easy

    Carrying ease is determined by board weight and handle type, where a board weighing under 20lbs with a Liftsup handle is extremely easy to carry while a 35+lbs board quite difficult.

  • Stability

    Average

    Stability is a product of construction and shape, where boards w/ 30”+ wide and 200+ liters in volume offer plenty of stability for your AVG adult while a board under 26” wide is a challenge.

  • Glide

    Average

    Glide is a result of board shape and construction, w/ boards weighing under 30lbs and designed for racing offering best glide while recreational boards normally being on the slow side.

    18.11 lbs

    Standup paddle boards tend to fall into 4 different weight classes: extremely lightweight (under 20 lbs), lightweight (20-28 lbs), average weight (28-35 lbs), heavy (above 35 lbs).

  • Volume

    285 L

    Volume is a key metric to determine how much weight a board can carry. Boards w/ 200+ liters offer most floatation with boards under 150 liters typically for high-performance surf.

    Add-on’s include bungee cords, a minimalist way to haul things; connexsup, which allows for all sorts of attachments, even fishing rods; and FCS II/Connect, for easy fin instal.

  • Handle

    Strap

    Handles directly affect carrying ease, with external grip handles (Liftsup & EZgrab) offering most comfort, Internal Ergo Grip the mid-tier comfort, and box handles as least comfortable.

  • Holders

    No

    Fishing rod holders and/or paddle holders can make paddling that much more pleasant, esp. when needing holders for the rod or having a safe place for the paddle during yoga.

Previous Models 2021

The colors of the Super Nova really make the board stand out at first glance. It features a beautiful teal blue with a highlighter yellow and accents of gray, with a white deckpad and a matching yellow carry bag that the board comes with. The color coordination here is great. What’s somewhat rare for a board at this price point is the utilization of the double chamber technology, which adds a great safety element to the package. We typically only see this feature in higher-end inflatables so this is definitely something to take note of. The Super Nova is nice and lightweight making it really easy to carry down to the water. Once on the water, the board had an average stability, but had a very nice glide when going through the water. The board also had good maneuverability and turns were very easy. The paddle was nice in that it was lightweight, but it being a four-piece paddle, you could tell that it wasn’t as sturdy compared to a two-piece paddle. Overall, the Aztron Super Nova would be a great budget-friendly starter board for any family or individual.
