The ABY Touring Series

The Performance Upgrade Every Serious Paddler Eventually Asks For

Roughly 30% of customers who buy an all-round SUP return within two seasons asking the same question: "Is there something faster?" The ABY Touring Series is that next board. A 11' displacement-hull inflatable SUP engineered for distance, glide, and fitness paddling β€” built for the rider who's outgrown a 10'6" all-round and isn't ready to commit to a specialized 14' race board. The fastest inflatable SUP in our lineup, with premium construction and full dealer support.

The Engineering Behind a Faster Inflatable SUP

Four design choices separate a touring board from a stretched-out all-round shape. This is where the speed actually comes from.

Displacement Hull, Not Planing Hull

Standard all-round boards use a planing hull β€” a flat, blunt-nose shape that sits on top of the water. The Touring Series uses a true displacement hull with a pointed, piercing nose that slices through water rather than pushing it. The result is up to 20% less drag per stroke and noticeably longer glide between paddle strokes β€” the single biggest performance gain at this length.

Reinforced Carbon Stringer

A 11' inflatable SUP needs more lengthwise rigidity than a 10'6" board, otherwise it flexes in the middle under load and loses glide. The Touring Series integrates a reinforced carbon stringer along the centerline, dramatically improving stiffness and energy transfer. Every paddle stroke moves the board forward β€” not into a board flex that wastes the energy.

Front Cargo Bungee System

The forward deck features a 6-point bungee tie-down system rated for a full-size dry bag, camping kit, or multi-day expedition load. This is the feature most touring buyers specifically ask for β€” and most budget "touring" boards skip. It turns the board from a fitness tool into an actual adventure vehicle.

Single Large Center Fin Setup

Touring boards run a single large center fin (no side fins) β€” the configuration with the lowest drag and the cleanest tracking line for long-distance paddling. The fin sits in a US Box mount, so dealers and end users can swap to specialized racing fins or shallower river fins depending on the water they're paddling.

Three Customers Who Walk Past the All-Round Section

The touring SUP shopper is a more advanced buyer β€” already knows what they want, already knows why an all-round won't satisfy them. Here are the three segments your storefront should be ready for.

SEGMENT 1

The Fitness Paddler

Treats paddling as cardio β€” wants to cover 5–10 km in a session and burn 400–700 calories doing it. An all-round board is too slow and too inefficient for this. They need a board where every stroke actually moves them forward. Repeat purchasers, predictable buying cycle, high lifetime value to the store.

SEGMENT 2

The Expedition Paddler

Plans multi-day trips along coastlines, lake chains, or slow rivers β€” often with a tent and dry bag strapped to the deck. The front cargo bungee system isn't a nice-to-have for these customers, it's the reason they choose a touring board over their existing all-round. High-margin sale, often pairs with accessory upsells.

SEGMENT 3

The Amateur Racer

Enters local SUP race events but isn't ready to commit to (or transport) a 14' rigid race board. The 12'6" touring length is the standard amateur racing class in most European events. Fast enough to compete, versatile enough to still use for weekend recreation. A growing segment in every European market.

Why Buy a Touring Inflatable SUP?
(Speed vs. Stability)

The Advantage of a Displacement Hull Unlike standard round-nose boards, an inflatable touring paddle board features a pointed nose, known as a displacement hull.
This design cuts through chop and flatwater effortlessly, making it the best paddle board for long distance adventures.
You will glide further with every stroke compared to an all-round board.

Our Touring Series focuses on the 12’6″ length, which is the gold standard for versatility.
It offers the speed needed for amateur racing while remaining maneuverable enough for coastal exploration.
It is significantly faster than a 10’6″ board but easier to handle than a 14′ pro racing board.

Best Inflatable SUP for Fitness and Cardio Looking for a workout? Fitness paddling burns serious calories.
The increased efficiency of our touring boards makes them ideal for high-intensity cardio sessions on lakes or rivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions touring SUP shoppers ask most often β€” and the answers your sales team should have ready.

Is a Touring SUP Hard to Balance On? +
The Touring Series is narrower than an all-round board (30" vs 32"), which means there's a real adjustment period for riders coming from a wider platform. Most intermediate paddlers adapt within their first 15–20 minutes on the water. Beginners with zero paddling experience will find this board challenging on day one and should start on an all-round SUP first.
Can a Complete Beginner Use a Touring Board? +
Honestly β€” not the ideal first board. A touring SUP rewards a paddler who already knows how to balance, stroke efficiently, and switch sides cleanly. We recommend beginners start with the ABY All-Round Series for their first season, then upgrade to touring once they want more speed and distance. Dealers who advise customers this way build long-term trust and double the customer lifetime value.
Why Is the Nose Pointed Instead of Round? +
The pointed nose is the signature of a displacement hull. A round-nose (planing hull) board sits on top of the water and pushes it aside β€” fine for short trips, inefficient for long ones. A pointed nose slices through water like a kayak, reducing drag and extending glide between strokes. Over 5 km of paddling, a displacement hull can save thousands of strokes of effort compared to a planing hull at the same speed.
How Much Faster Is a Touring SUP Than an All-Round? +
At sustainable cruising effort, an experienced paddler will move 25–35% faster on a 12'6" touring board than on a 10'6" all-round. More importantly, the touring board sustains that speed with significantly less effort β€” most riders describe it as "the board does more of the work." Top-end sprint speed isn't the main benefit; sustained efficient cruising is.
How Many Calories Does Touring SUP Paddling Burn? +
Steady touring-paced paddling burns approximately 400–500 calories per hour for an average adult. Faster fitness sessions and into-wind paddling push this to 600–700+ per hour. It's a full-body workout β€” core, shoulders, back, and legs β€” with significantly lower joint impact than running. This is why the fitness segment has become one of the fastest-growing SUP buyer categories in Europe.
Can I Strap Camping Gear or a Cooler to the Front? +
Yes β€” this is one of the primary reasons customers buy a touring board. The front 6-point bungee tie-down system handles a full-size dry bag, a small soft cooler, a tent and sleeping pad combo, or any standard expedition load. Riders regularly tour multi-day routes carrying 8–12 kg of gear on the deck without affecting performance noticeably.
Is This Board Allowed in Amateur SUP Races? +
Yes. The 12'6" length is the standard amateur racing class in most European SUP race series (ICF, ISA, and most national federation events). Customers can race competitively without needing to invest in or transport a dedicated 14' race board. For dealers in regions with an active local SUP race scene, this is a meaningful selling point.
What Dealer Support Comes With the Touring Series? +
Authorized ABYSUP dealers receive a 2-year manufacturer warranty backing every unit, high-resolution product photography, ready-to-use product copy, lifestyle video assets, territorial protection where applicable, fast shipping from European logistics hubs, and direct access to a dedicated brand account manager. Touring boards typically carry stronger margins than all-round boards β€” we'll walk you through the tier structure when you request a personalized quote.
