From ISLE:Explore your local waterways standing up or sitting down with ISLE’s newest release, the Switch. The new model brings together thoughtful design and innovation with a focus on versatility on the water. Users can effortlessly convert the board from SUP to kayak thanks to the patent-pending IsleLink™ connection system; a series of rugged webbing loops that run the length of the board rails matched with stainless steel G-hooks on all IsleLink™ accessories. Using this system, The Switch can be easily configured for solo or tandem kayak use and a wide range of other fun and functional set-ups in both kayak and paddleboard modes, including connecting two boards together!
“When designing the Switch we wanted to maximize versatility without sacrificing stability or performance for both sit-on-top kayak and stand-up paddleboard use,” mentioned VP of Product Jimmy Blakeney. “The Switch is an absolutely terrific paddleboard, but we spent just as much time designing the seat and foot brace for all-day comfort, support, and adjustability. Best of all it gives paddlers the freedom to customize and configure their set-up to match how they choose to spend time on the water on any particular day.”
The Switch features user-centric design across every detail. A full-length soft and grippy traction pad supports yoga, pets, kids, and lounging across the entire deck. Using G-Hooks and IsleLink™ technology, users can easily secure multiple accessories to the board wherever desired. And in kayak mode, The Switch features thoughtfully designed seats with a 4-inch inflatable seat cushion and fiberglass-reinforced seat backs for all-day comfort and control on the water.
Since 2004, ISLE has developed a reputation for high-quality, lightweight, inflatable paddleboards and The Switch is no exception. At just 19lbs, The Switch is the lightest weight hybrid paddleboard and kayak in its class. By utilizing ISLE’s proprietary Air-Tech™ Fusion Lite Technology, The Switch achieves a 25% weight savings over its competition, making it easier to transport and store. The light weight is even more impressive considering the 425-pound capacity and ability to use it as a solo or tandem kayak.
