Honu Sorrento 12'6" Inflatable SUP (Sea Turtle)

Honu have taken a great board and made it even better, giving us the Sorrento Touring SUP!

Experience the ultimate adventure on the water with the Sorrento, meticulously designed for those seeking to explore vast distances. This exceptional paddle board offers ample anchor points to securely store your backpack, water bottle, snacks, and additional clothing. With dimensions of 12'6" in length and 30" in width, the Sorrento effortlessly glides in a straight line while maintaining remarkable stability, catering to paddle boarders of all skill levels. Its perfect blend of speed and stability positions it as the go-to board for riders craving extensive, swift journeys during their morning SUP paddle or leading the way on exciting weekend camping expeditions.

So, what's new? While retaining its 5.9" thickness crafted from our lightweight and durable X-woven material, the Sorrento has undergone a series of remarkable improvements, many of which are exclusively offered by Honu. Our welded rails, a source of immense pride, set a new standard in board construction. However, the enhancements don't stop there. We have meticulously enhanced every aspect of the board to elevate your experience to unprecedented levels.

Embark on your next waterborne adventure with the Sorrento, the epitome of innovation and excellence, proudly brought to you by Honu.

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.

FEATURES

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.
