NIXY SUP Reviews | 2024 Paddle Boards Compared

NIXY SPORTS, headquartered in Irvine, California, is a company with a singular focus: designing and manufacturing their visions for the ideal inflatable paddle boards. Unlike many other brands, they don’t also sell hard boards or market multiple lines of SUPS at different price points. Instead, the founders are committed to designing a single “goldilocks” lineup of feature-packed boards, often incorporating advanced construction technologies, because they believe in selling “only the inflatable SUPs that we’d want to buy ourselves.”

Avid travelers with a background in design and engineering, NIXY founders Nicolas and Ale Szczedrin have built a SUP brand known for top-shelf build quality and good value. This husband and wife team fell in love with paddle boarding several years ago, and they’ve become extremely passionate about the sport due to the incredible convenience and portability of SUPs.

The new G5 series paddle boards continue the trend of quality and value with cross-woven drop stitch and welded construction to keep all of Nixy’s iSUPs lightweight and rigid.

Why We Recommend NIXY SUPs

One of the stand-out features we love about NIXY SPORTS is that they keep their lineup simple. Each board serves a distinct purpose and there isn’t a proliferation of models just to hit different price points. But, their design and color options still give you plenty of options to express yourself with a Nixy SUP.

Clearly their boards aren’t the cheapest, but they pack in a lot of value for the price. They also appeal to paddlers concerned about weight: NIXY’s already light boards shed additional weight with the incorporation of woven dropstitch and fusion PVC construction.

Like all of our top pick boards, their SUPs come with everything that you need to get out on the water including a pump, paddle, leash, repair kit, and SUP travel backpack to pack all of those items in. More importantly, the NIXY accessories are consistently some of the highest quality included accessories we’ve seen each of the past few seasons and they’ve only improved.

NIXY also provides a solid 2-year warranty on their boards and generous 30-day money-back guarantee (see more details below). All of our interactions with their customer service have been friendly and helpful; we’ve also not had any bad customer experiences reported to us. It’s clear that good service is important to NIXY.

What’s New with Generation 5 (G5)

NIXY has incorporated several changes across the G5 lineup. While you’ll want to check out our individual reviews for all of the details, here are the highlights:

• Construction: The woven drop stitch and fusion PVC construction now also features welded interior seams for additional longevity and heat resistance
• Fins: Nixy has swapped to using a single US fin box instead of a 2+1 setup while still maintaining great tracking and maneuverability performance
• Shape: Most of the G5 iSUPs have received small changes to their shape, particularly around the tail, to increase stability
• Fresh Designs and Colors: NIXY has given the whole G5 family a visual refresh with an eye-catching new set of designs and colors.

NIXY Warranty & Returns Policy: Our Thoughts

NIXY provides a 30-day risk-free return policy, which takes the worry out of your purchase should you find it’s not the right board for you. You only pay return shipping (we recommend keeping your packaging until you’re sure you’re keeping the board). We appreciate that they don’t charge a restocking fee like some brands.

They offer a 2-year limited warranty on all NIXY SUPs, which is pretty standard for mid-tier and premium paddle boards. Included accessories receive a 90-day warranty, which is a bit above average. The NIXY warranty page is also one of the most to-the-point warranties we’ve seen. See the NIXY warranty page on their site for more details.
