While Sea Eagle has been making some of the best inflatable boats and kayaks since the 1960’s, in recent years that they’ve expanded their product lineup to include inflatable stand up paddle boards as well.
Recently, Sea Eagle as downsized their SUP board lineup to focus on their most popular designs: The Needlenose, Longboard, and FishSUPs.
Sea Eagle is a family-owned company that provides top-shelf, personal customer service, and we absolutely love the fact that they stand behind their boards with a 3-year warranty against manufacturer defects. They also offer a full 180-day risk-free trial period, which is unheard of.
Rather than chasing the latest and lightest materials, all Sea Eagle inflatable stand up paddle boards are made with time-tested materials and construction techniques that Sea Eagle stands by whole-heartedly.

Sea Eagle Inflatable SUP Reviews
Sea Eagle NeedleNose 126
The NN126 is the mid-sized board in Sea Eagle’s NeedleNose line. The NeedleNose 126 is Sea Eagle’s most popular touring-style SUP that is both stable and fast.
One of the defining characteristics of the Needlenose is its plastic nose cone. This permanently-fixed nose cone is designed to sit in the water for smooth and efficient entry as you paddle.

Sea Eagle NeedleNose 14
The longest board in the NeedleNose line, the Sea Eagle NN14 is great for larger paddlers or traveling longer distances with more equipment.
Rather than making their longer board narrower like many brands do, Sea Eagle has kept the Needlenose 14′ at 30″ wide. The extra length of the board gives it better speed and glide, and you don’t have to sacrifice stability or capacity for that bump in performance. This makes it easier to carry more equipment for a longer trip, bring a passenger, and as a great touring board for larger paddlers.

Sea Eagle LongBoard 11
The Sea Eagle LongBoard 11 is an all-purpose SUP that is super fun in flat water and surf conditions. The LB11 is extremely stable, and easy to use.
The Longboard 11′ is designed for optimum performance with a paddler under 200 pounds, but with its 34″ width and wide tail, it can easily support a larger paddler or an adult with a small child or pet.

Sea Eagle FishSUP 126 and FishSUP 1210
The Sea Eagle FishSUP 126 and FishSUP 1210 are specially designed inflatable fishing SUPs that measures 12’6″ x 6″ x 40″ and 12’10” x 6″ x 40″ respectively. These incredibly stable boards are built for heavy use, and can be paired with a seat, small motor, and other accessories. With a large number of D-rings for securing a cooler, tackle box, and other fishing items, the FS126 and FS1210 are boards that can comfortably accommodate a lot of additional gear.
The FishSUP 1210 adds a little extra length over the FS126, but has four major differences. First, it uses a dual air chamber design. Second, the FS1210 features a wider shape in the front for more stability and capcity. Third, it’s compatible with Sea Eagles’s casting bar for additional support while fishing. And fourth, the FS1210 is compatible with both stern- and bow-mounted motor setups.

Sea Eagle Warranty Information
What really stands out about Sea Eagle is their 120-day risk-free trial which beats what anyone else offers for trying out stand up paddle boards. Not happy with your iSUP… just return in it good condition (which Sea Eagle says means a cleaned, undamaged, resaleable board that is complete with all the original accessories). You pay return shipping, which is common with most companies. If you return something without an RMA ticket there is a 15% restocking fee. Otherwise we didn’t see restocking fees in their return policy.
Their warranty terms are exhausting to read but they offer an above-industry average 3-year warranty on their inflatables and accessories (with the exception of motors).
Another highly unique feature from Sea Eagle is that you can extend the 3-year warranty coverage to 6 full years for a nominal fee — but it has to be done at the time of purchase.
When a company has been in business for more than 50 years, you expect that they know their product and their customers pretty well. This is certainly one of the best returns policies and warranties out there. Click here to read their warranty.
