I just got mine.
Need a re-do of this stay-dry vid showing how you leash up since a stern anchored leash does not reach all the way to dry land. Thanks.
Will you guys be selling the motor to go with this??
Could they make a hard board that folds or slots together to save transport space.
Kind of like this idea as a casual tbh. I'd only go out when it's sunny/warm enough to not mind when getting wet in the first place so this really does seem like a nice option
Looks great. I just got my NRS Pike though. Its very similar to your boat and also extremely over protected in the material. Stood up fishing in the Pike today and it was actually easy. Its only 900 bucks, how much is your boat?
Thank you. Super clear and useful information.
This may kill Kayaks and especially Peddle Kayaks and give Motor Kayaks a Run for their Money
This helped a lot when combined with other YT reviews of the Isle SUPs. I just ordered a pro 12" bundle and plan to use the stand/sit option on long, slow-current river trips. The only issue left is vehicle transport between entry/exit points, but some places have that, and in others, I might get creative and drop an eBike locked up at the exit location, which will allow me to take the air out and strap the equipment on my back/bike to eBike it back to the car. This is of course when I do not have someone else with a second car. I truly hope the new rigid system makes it feel like a hard board = this is the main reason I never purchased or used an inflatable SUP. To me, nothing beats the true feel of a SUP hard material board, so let's see if the Pro series gets close enough to a hard board.
stock update?
Met you at the ICast, thanks for the overview. A definite consideration for my kayak business.
I can’t wait to get mine tomorrow night and get away from aurora ave and pine and 3rd 😂. IYKYK
How much weight can it hold
Do you sell the motor and accessories directly from your website? I own the 15’ Megalodon
Can you do a demo video of how to rig up an anchor?
We will try to get that up sometime soon - there a lots of way to set up an anchor on the Flywater!
@@Islesurfboards awesome that and a stick steer mechanism for the larger 3hp electric motors would be amazing!!
This is awesome.
I have a 15' Meg3 and I can't find a travel bag anywhere.
We have been sold out but more are on the way!
I want one!
where is it?
Is there any reason we can't use both at the same time for redundancy?
You can, however the click disc makes it more difficult to align the bolt, and if you use the bolt there's no possibility it can come off. So if you prefer the security of the superbolt, we recommend removing the discs.
No info on motor or Bixpy on your site. Is this a legit option or not?
We have links to the motor page in several spots on the site, apologies if not easy to find. Here is the link: islesurfandsup.com/pages/e-assist-motors
I love this playlist. Another pro for me: When on the water just for relaxing and having fun, swimming and splashing in the water, you can get on and off easily in the middle of a lake 🙂
Will the new Flywater or the SUP's still be able to be deflated and stowed with the Isle motorplate remaining on the craft? I assume we would obviously need to remove the Torqueedo mount itself.
Yes, you can leave it on, however it won't pack up as compact as it will by removing it.
I'm very interested in your new boat...any idea when it will be available?...where can I see it in person?
We have a small quantity arriving in the Fall, then full production arrives next Spring. www.islesurfandsup.com
@@Islesurfboards thank you for the reply...looking forward to the release
Where can you buy them?
On our website: www.islesurfandsup.com
@@Islesurfboards I can't seem to find them anywhere on the website and would really love to buy the bigger motor mount for a megaldon 3.
Can I install my 40lbs thrust Minn Kota Endura C2 trolling motor on this boat or does this unit work only with an Isle-specific motor? PS I have had ISLE paddle boards for a long time now and they still perform perfectly! Happy Customer.
Great to hear about your paddle boards, thank you! We don't make motors, just the mounting system to install them at the transom. You can definitely add that motor, our recommendation is up to 5HP which is waaaay more than your 40lb thrust Minn Kota!
@@IslesurfboardsAwesome. Can’t wait to see it available. I tried to sign up for the waitlist on your website but it errors out.
thanks for letting us know, we'll alert our team, definitely try again!
"...for turning it into a little boat". You mean a fully operational cruise ship.
Haha, I guess that depends on your creativity 🙂
Price and availability da???? When and where???? Common man we're chompin at the bit out here. Patience my foot, where's the info Joe?
Pricing is on the website here: islesurfandsup.com/products/flywater-micro-skiff-kayak $1695 and we have a very limited quantity arriving in September, then more in spring 2025
Good tip. Appreciate you.
You cannot drag an inflatable paddleboard against rocks. Don't even try it. I don't know why this company would even show such a thing - that is one of the stupidest and worst things you can do with your inflatable. You will instantly regret it.
I just bought the Megalodon 2 12” for a fishing trip! Super excited to get it out in the water!!
Great choice! It's super versatile and customizable, either tricked out or super simple and minimalist.
What if the rails become unbounded from the sides of the deck? I’ve experienced separation around the edges of the rail on really hot days.
music is too loud
I'm interested in this too. I live here on the pacific coast. I typically can take my hobie revo 13 out a few miles out to fish in 120ft or so of water. Often we get hit with nominal wind up to 20 knots or seas going 4-8ft. Is this safe as a kayak as an inshore option? Are there any drawbacks on having an inflatable vs plastic kayak on the ocean such as being swept out in currents more easily perhaps?
We wouldn't recommend taking this or any kayak a few miles offshore, however if you did do that definitely have a motor at least for back up! It won't be any more easily swept up in currents, etc. vs plastic boats, but wind will definitely affect your ability to paddle, as with any high profile boat. 3HP Torqueedo or Newport Vessels motor is a GREAT option to add.
What would you call those 1/4-20 threaded rods with black knobs? Looking to purchase them.
bixpy.com/Bixpy-watercraft-adapters-1-4-20-power-pole-deck-thumb-nut-and-bolt/
@@Islesurfboards thanks!
Will the motor mount be available when the flywater becomes available? I’m buying both, sure would be nice to get them at the same time. Is the end of August still a realistic release? Can’t get here soon enough.
@@bigguyinalittleboat7927 I'm also wondering when it will be available.
Does this thing have pressure relief valves? It would be nice to know it can’t over inflate
It does not. We don't use them as they can leak. This is a 5-chamber inflatable and we're confident that at recommended pressures it won't over-inflate under typical operating conditions.
When will the motor bracket be available?
We expect them to arrive in September.
Sweet! Motors ftw!
This looks so badass. I was considering the iatak 110 but may have to rethink this
Get the NRS Pike, it's the best on the market imo.
The 1/4-20 threads on the board say "Ensure fasteners are proper length". Could you specify the minimum and maximum screw length ignoring the thickness of the item I'm attaching? Meg3 doesn't have an action camera mount so I want to make use of those 1/4-20 threads.
The depth that the screw can go into the mount plate is about 1/4" - you can go a bit tighter without hurting the board, but that is the depth of the part itself, so you don't want to go below that as you'll start to hit the board itself with the screw.
@Islesurfboards thanks for your quick reply but that doesn't sound correct. If the screw is too long it will puncture the board. If the screw is too short it either won't grab any threads or worse it will grab too few and strip it out. That's why I'm asking for the minimum and maximum screw length ignoring the thickness of any plate that's being fastened. My rough measurements with my calipers right now show that the threaded portion is about 0.2" below the surface so surely 1/4" is not a suitable length. I could guess and check different lengths but I'm hoping Isle will give me firm info.
@@AB-bu8ti There's not a maximum length because washers can be used to ensure the screw doesn't go more than 1/4" into the mount plate. The minimum will depend on the thickness of the adapter plate you are installing - you can calculate the minimum by adding 0.25" depth + thickness of the adapter plate material = minimum length screw. If you are using longer screws you can add washers to adjust the screw depth to avoid it going too deep into the mount plate. 0.25" is fine, even though depth of the treaded portion is slightly less, as you can tighten one extra turn to get to 0.25" and it won't harm the board (and we add a layer of plastic underneath the nut to add a layer of protection). However, we do recommend the type of screws shown in this video as the best solution. For an action camera we'd recommend purchasing an after market camera mount with 3M VHB super strong backing adhesive and add that at the nose of the board in front of the EVA pad.
@@Islesurfboards Thanks. Good to know there's a plastic stop at the bottom. Further measuring shows that the 1/4-20 threads are recessed about 0.175"-0.20" so I'm still worried about your recommendation that 0.25" screw length is enough. That would mean you might only be getting 0.05" of thread engagement. But I appreciate the quick replies.
@@AB-bu8ti sorry if not clear. We didn't recommend 0.25" length screw - "you can calculate minimum by adding 0.25" depth + thickness of the adapter plate material" - so minimum is likely 0.5" screw.
If you had a puncture bad enough in the tube that the baffle shot to the other side as it’s designed, is that repairable? Can you get it back to center on your own or does it have to be sent back? I can repair a puncture, but can I get the baffle back in place? Love this design and I’m very interested.
The baffle "floats" in between the two air chambers, you wouldn't have to do anything to put it back in place as it's just floating there, if that makes sense. It's the "wall" between the two chambers, just not a flat piece of material, instead cone shaped.
@@Islesurfboardsahhhh I gotcha
It is welded like the new 3.0 paddleboards? or glued?
The pontoons are all welded, but we do use some adhesives for certain sections to assemble. It does feature the same 5-year warranty as all 2024 models with powerfuse welded rails.
I really like that you have some good hybrid designs, and that they are symmetrical! For the Remix alloy & carbon, what are the min & max lengths, in both SUP & kayak modes?
nice id get this as an upgrade... just not a fan of the silly name stamp on it like that looks tacky to me 🤮🤮🤮
I’m afraid you will need to add a holder on the tubes for a transom
Check out this video to learn more about how the motor mount system works, including adding a vertical transom! kzread.info/dash/bejne/onqjr7OzhbTZpqw.html
@@Islesurfboards I was thinking on more support from side tubes, because you will be pulling all forces from the floor and that will damage the tubes joint. Better push from 3 points. Two tubes with floor.
Our InfinityFiber material on the transom is incredibly strong. It's the reason we can have a 3" thick dropstitch floor and it remains rigid even under the torque/weight of the motors. We've stood on the motor mount adapter plate that extends off the back of the transom and at 160lbs it doesn't even bend.
Looks great. I’d love to see two options- thicker pvc to protect from fish fins and sharp objects and an option for bow mounting an anchor or anchor pole.
We use a 0.9mm PVC in the pontoons, plus the 1.1mm PVC non-skid on the sides and bottom of pontoons, and we then add the layer of InfinityFiber on the bottom of pontoons as well, where it could hit something while under power. Our inflatable paddleboards use 0.7mm PVC, so it's more heavy duty than those and it's extremely rare for them to be punctured. From our experience fish hooks don't really stick into the inflatables very easily - they kinda bounce off it because of the angle of the hook - you definitely could get it to stick in, but it's not something we've experienced. If it does, it's usually very superficial (unless you yanked on the rod) and doesn't penetrate.
@@Islesurfboards what about fish fins? Much risk of a fish flopping puncturing this thing?
eat at beach
I wish I watch this first. I just watched a 15 minute video on the difference of paddle boards and I’m so confused.
what is the price in canada, if there's any dealer here in toronto?
No retailers in Canada and likely won't be available there until Spring 2025 for purchase on our website
Great videos! Can this be done with an inflatable board? I would love to see a video. Thank you!
Absolutely! You can check that out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2GE0ZOvkZO_prw.htmlsi=_8NGT-VtlnOdcljg&t=62
