The ISLE Switch is one of the most versatile SUPs we’ve ever tested. With its 2 in 1 SUP/Kayak capabilities, impressive stability, advanced construction, and inclusive kit, the Switch has easily marched (paddled?) its way toward the top of our lists, and in this video review, we’ll tell you why.
Accolades aside, we did initially have our doubts about the Switch. We thought that its 2-in-1 design meant that it would perform poorly as a kayak or a SUP but definitely wouldn’t excel in either - and we could not have been more wrong.
The Switch performs exceptionally well as a SUP. Its 35.5” width makes it supremely stable and its exaggerated rocker has given it an impressive gliding feeling on the water. As a kayak, the Switch also does well. The included inflatable footrest and seat make the experience a lot more comfortable and give it a more natural kayaking feel.
However, one thing that impressed us the most with the Switch is that it is also 19 lbs - which is incredibly light for a board of this size. ISLE did this by building the Switch with a cross-woven drop stitch encased in a single layer of custom-thickness PVC. Despite being a single layer, the Switch is still shockingly rigid due to its 3 stringers that span the deck of the board.
Lastly, we love that the Switch comes with all necessary, 2-in-1 components included in its accessory kit. This is not a board that requires you to purchase add-ons, making it extremely versatile right out of the box.
For more information about the extremely versatile ISLE Switch and our testing processes, stick with us through our video, and don’t hesitate to reach out in the comments with your thoughts and questions.

only way to go, the ONLY way to go. Sick of watching expert SUPer's review a product not for them. We have kids, and friends and are owners of a Macgregor yacht. we are not serious about anything. Ours has the seat and step on it all the time it is used. If you want to stand up you stand between the step and seat, the paddle blade stays on the back ready for access all the time, easy. It just sits on the beach ready to go for which ever way you want to. no one can be bothered taking the seat off, and nothing gets lost. Some of the kids are too scared to stand up, same with learner adults, no shame either, already set up for it, you do not have to ask someone to put the training wheels on for you(the seat). Sometimes on longer turns I sit down and give my calves a rest, We put a lifejacket under the seat so the seat is higher up, extra comfy. we put a longer lease on it so you can dive off.This setup gets hammered, all the time, the most popular sup on the beach, everywhere we go, and that is what we wanted. Cannot recommend this type of set up enough for the cruiser/Family board
I purchased this for the versatility of using the SUP as a board and kayak and absolutely love how it handles and the way you can have multiple people kayak on the board comfortably. Great for my grandson to go with me and the seats are extremely comfortable especially with the foot rest. I love this board! 5 plus stars!!! Excellent purchase for my family.
Yesss❤❤❤❤ just ordered mine on Wednesday, arrived today on Friday! Most importantly, the customer service at Isle is AWESOME 🎉 and this video sold me on it. Researched for months, so glad to know I've made a great decision!
Finally. Thanks for doing this. I just bought mine. I get it tomorrow. Super excited!

Try putting an old school life jacket under the seat for extra height when kayaking, extra comfy

put another 3 m of cord on the lease, way easier
I'd like to know how well it handle in the ocean. I see several comments on other videos reviewing this board who like me would love a comparison with the Tahe Hybrid.
Thanks for the review.
Great review. I used your link to purchase 😊
Good review. Note to Jimmy at Isle: Your seat & foot rest are really cheesy as part of a “kit”…maybe take them off the “kit” & offer as a separate accessory. Bag really needs wheels to save our backs. Aluminum paddle is a fail point, especially for saltwater, much prefer a carbon paddle like light boards by your competitors. Can’t sell it as as a cross over “Switch” without D Rings & action mounts…they can’t weigh that much either. Single layer is a Hard No. Nope nope nope.
Can you review the 2022 Goosehill sup
What is the difference between the isle switch, and the switch 2 that is on their site now?
how does this compare to the irocker cruise ultra with kayak seat?
Would you recommend this or blackfish xl?

Do you mean Blackfin XL? If so, then I would say that depends on what you want. If you want a SUP/Kayak combo, then the Switch is the way to go.
Can you buy the seat separately?

You can, but the kit comes with the seat.
