For paddleboarding enthusiasts, SipaBoards offers the world’s first electric stand-up paddleboard. Not only does the SipaBoard fill with air completely on its own in a few minutes, the specially designed SipaDrive gives you a gentle push in the water, allowing you to paddle further distances without tiring out. The SipaDrive’s jet-propulsion system easily works against strong currents or winds and is designed to eliminate drag when paddling. The drive powers LED lights on the bottom of the board, for nighttime paddling.

 

The SipaBoard with SipaDrive capabilities comes in three varieties. The All-Rounder Drive is created with paddleboarders of every skill level in mind, and the sturdy design makes it useful as a portable diving board. The Cruiser Drive is created for longer distances, and is built more like a classic paddleboard. The Fisherman Drive is outfitted with space for all your tools, so you can bring a cooler and tackle box along with you. The SipaDrive is extra quiet for stealthy fishing and attachments allow you to easily drop anchor wherever you want.

 

 

For those who don’t feel their paddleboarding habits require a powerful jet-propulsion system, but would still enjoy avoiding the annoying manual pumping process, SipaBoards also produces a line of self-inflating, motor-free boards. The Neo Air is popular for its more affordable price and entry-level ease of use. The All-Rounder Air is the motor-less version of the All-Rounder Drive, as the Cruiser Air is the motor-less version of the Cruiser Drive. The Balance Air is created for paddleboard yoga.

 

All SipaBoards products are available online, where they start at $640.
