Inflatables like Niphean’s 10’ 6” Clovis Point have been a game changer for those looking to dip a toe into the standup paddleboard waters, add a water toy to the family cabin, or just lack the space — at home or while transporting — to make a rigid board a viable option. Built with drop-stitch construction and a military-grade PVC skin, it’s durable, puncture-resistant and stable enough to satisfy a wide variety of riders.

Toss in a few extras — like a choice of fins, kayak-conversion seat, convertible paddle, pump, and a stability-enhancing extra dubbed the Balance Wing — and you’ve got a package that, at less than $270, just may be the epitome of bang for the buck.

Finding your way through a city can be complicated enough on foot. Navigating the waterways of a metropolis in a paddling vessel is a far greater challenge. Paddling in urban environments can pose some real safety risks, but as long as you are properly prepared, it can also be incredibly rewarding.
