The Itiwit x100 is a surprisingly good entry-level touring SUP for beginners at an affordable price point.
The Itiwit x100 is a cheap option for beginner to intermediate paddlers. It is extremely lightweight but able to accommodate light to heavy build paddlers.
The board is easy to control over water and very responsive to turns. It is recommended to use the board on flat water and during calm to small wave water conditions.
It is best to take care of the board during transport and storage as it may not be as durable as others. Given concerns with leaks, there may be other options out there that offer more value for money.
Itiwit is a paddle sports brand by Decathlon that primarily aims to make more people enjoy paddle sports. They manufacture equipment for standup paddle boards and kayaks.
While the kayaks are their most popular product line, their SUPs are also a good and affordable option for beginner paddlers. They offer good stability and lightweight build ideal for both calm and wavy water conditions.
Fun fact: They initially used Itiwit as a name of the inflatable Tribord kayak but they have since made a name for themselves. The word Itiwit came from combining the words ‘Itinerary’ and ‘Inuit,’ the indigenous people living in the Arctic and subarctic regions of Greenland. It’s because of their amazing invention that we have kayaks today.
