iSup Review Body Glove Performer

Welcome back to Inflatable SUP Review! Today we’re reviewing the Body Glove Performer, which retails for $399.99. Watch the video to learn more about this board and hear our thoughts on it.
- 11 feet in length.
- Narrow profile and doesn't carry its width very far to the back and front.
- If you buy from Costco, this board will have a warranty and they are typically very good about honoring that if you have any issues. We’ll be using the warranty in the case of our ripped bag.
- Aluminum 3-piece paddle with a unique oval shape.
- Bag has a very large buckle, and backpack straps were not done upon arrival. Additionally, it came with a small tear, causing the stitching to easily come undone.
- When it comes to accessories, this board does well. An electric pump is included and comes in a mesh bag. Also included are a leash, manual pump, cell phone bag, and repair kit. The board itself has a set of tie downs for a cooler, a triple tie down in the front, a GoPro mount, a tow mount, and a handle to hold a water bottle or paddle. However, the three fixed fins are not removable, which makes it a little difficult to get the board zipped back into the bag.
- Inflation took 8 minutes and 41 seconds with the Hyperlite pump, then 12 minutes and 11 seconds with the included Body Glove pump.
- Weighs 22 pounds, 14 ounces.
- The board is pretty flexible with the most deflection of any board we’ve reviewed so far.
- This board is a great price, but less accessories and more focus on a nicer pump with a deflation valve and a higher quality bag would have given this board more value.
- This board has a nice set of accessories; the GoPro and tow mounts are unique touches. However, it would have been nice to have soft touch loops on the handle and the back of the board.
Thanks for watching! We’ll be back soon with more boards to review. If you’re interested in purchasing the Body Glove Performer, visit the link below.

Terrific review. I love the torture test. I have this board, and it's o.k., but I wish I had the hyperlite watching your review of it. Less flex, better removable fin, and better pump. Thanks!

Great review

The time difference between the HyperLite vs BG board fill time was 2 minutes..non issue. What the BG single stage pump does better is it will fill 3 boards in a row, non stop. The HL pump gets HOT with one board fill. Fins: as one who has 4 isups, my long single fine boards are a pain in shallow water. If I hit a rock or submerged tree limb with my long fin boards, I will get tossed over the front. Did it twice. The fixed 3 fins on the BG board is great, especially when on the ocean and riding waves. That's not the place to use a long fin board like the HL or on a river that has shallows or when you need to make a quick turn. Finally the extra length of the BG board at 11' vs HyperLite at 10'2" makes a difference as the BG board gives me a faster touring speed vs the HL I returned.

Great comments, I agree! 2min extra time to inflate versus a motor that may burn out prematurely (the HL).
