Tales of our obsessive attention to detail, ultra-high quality, "treat customers as we'd want to be treated", service, and "more for your money" value took off, and we are selling out, of our small batches of boards, way faster than expected.   If a board isn’t currently in stock please jump on the waitlist.  

As many of you know, Hydrus is dedicated to delivering the highest quality products directly to customers at outstanding prices, using more expensive materials and higher quality construction.  

We refuse to overspend on advertising, paid reviews, ridiculous chain store mark-ups, marketing gimmicks, or any other nonsense that ultimately costs our beloved customers and supporters time and money. Instead, we believe in delivering the best gear we can and letting our customers and supporters spread the word. 

Building better gear and relying on referrals means Hydrus grows naturally and organically -no high-cost marketing schemes necessary, just authentic gear we're all proud of!

We are still a small and efficient team, started by Jason and Nick Zawadzki and a few close friends in 2013. To this day, we are still much smaller than most folks assume.  We strive to be as honest and upfront as possible with no gimmicks, marketing jargon, or other typical high-volume sales tactics. We build small batches of the highest quality, most functional, hard-wearing, high-performing gear there is. We ride the boards we make, and we use the equipment we sell. We only recommend what we'd use ourselves, and we treat customers as we'd want to be treated!

JoyRide "All-Around" Inflatable Paddleboard. 11'x32"

Our most popular board. It's the perfect size and speed for most paddlers.

The length, width, brushed traction pad, and thick rails of this board make it ideal for All-Around paddling with family or friends, paddle-fitness, SUP yoga, fishing, rivers, or just about any other use most paddlers would dream of.

Extremely stable outline, fast parallel rails, and long waterlines make paddling smooth and enjoyable!   With a 350lb weight capacity, it's plenty stable for paddling with your pup, partner, kids, or extra gear. 

Deflates down to the size of a sleeping bag in less than two minutes and inflates in less than five! Perfect for anyone who wants an easy-to-use, high-end board that conveniently stows away into a backpack to travel with you by foot, plane, train, or automobile.

INFLATION PRESSURE:

Our boards are factory pressure tested at 31psi, so you are more than safe using your board at the maximum recommended 25psi. 

*Most riders choose between 12-18psi depending on the situation and personal preference.   Due to the high-end, composite reinforced materials and reinforced sidewalls, a Hydrus inflatable board will be stiffer at lower pressures than most others. 

All of the functionality you need without the gimmicks!  "We stand for building boards the right way, not the easy way."

• New 3-layer Composite reinforced outer shell, which means more durability, rigidity, and performance than any other inflatable board.
• New CR Welded interior seams.  Seams are the biggest issue with inflatables -Not with this board.
• High-Performance Rocker.  Lifts the front out of waves and choppy waters and allows smooth, clean, and efficient release out the back.
• Large All-Around Board Shape focused on maximum stability plus glide.
• 13!! D-Ring Rigging points. -fishing accessories, cooler, leash, and whatever else!
• Diamond Groove EVA Deck Pad (this year we used a higher-end, more durable foam, just not double layer like previous years). 
• New Click-in fin - perfect size and shape for this board!
• New Additional 4.5" Flexible River/Shallow water fin included.
• SUP Coil Leash
• Coil Leash - fits either around the upper calf or ankle
• Heavy Duty Hydrus Backpack.  -Yes, it's our Mothership board bag!
• Side and Center Handles.  Side handles have several great uses!
• Rear stomp pad plus raised arch support for rivers and pivot turning.
• Front bottom D-ring for towing behind a boat or another paddler.
• 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
• New Limited Lifetime Warranty - on 2019 models or newer.

*Paddles sold ala-carte. Here's why:  Paddles are hugely important. Manufacturers should not package high-quality boards with low-quality paddles.

We've found that, as a premium brand, approximately 35% of our customers are upgrading their old boards from other brands and already own paddles. The paddles generally included in other board packages are lower quality and undesirable.

If you need a paddle, choose the "add-on" paddle option to get the board + paddle package deal!  This way, you are getting a genuinely high-quality paddle and the best package pricing possible.   

Other FAQs answered:  Three fins versus a single fin. *A shapers perspective:   Three fins don't belong on flat-water inflatable boards. There is no functional advantage.  Three small fins are less stable and create more drag than a properly sized single fin. 

We have to assume that some brands commonly add three fins for these reasons (neither of which are beneficial to the paddler).  1. lower manufacturing costs because three, small cheap fins are less expensive than an appropriately sized, high-quality US fin box and fin.    2. To iSUP designers that don't know any better, they might look "cool." -that's not our style!

 SPECIFICATIONS

JoyRide All-around
Length: 11'
Fully Inflated Width: 33″
Thickness: 6″

WEIGHT LIMIT/ 350lbs

Board Weight: 27lbs *note: we do not skimp on materials to make what some brand marketers call "ultra-light" boards.  Although this is a lightweight board, the weight reflects the highest performance and hardest wearing inflatable construction possible. 

*This inflatable model was completely designed, shaped, engineered and the construction was controlled and approved by our small Hydrus team in Boise, Idaho, USA.
Due to certain limitations, 2020 and 2021 inflatable models are assembled overseas. If you are in need of a 100% USA-made paddleboard, please check out our hardboard line. We are seeking out ways to get inflatable board production in the USA -however, due to certain material acquisition restrictions and high pricing concerns, we don't quite have the answer, yet. Rest assured, our designs, shapes, accessories, certain materials, and so many other fine details are completely our own innovations and we completely back up the quality of our products.
Just like our hardboards, we consider every little detail we can think of to give you the best experience we can! ~Thanks for the support! Sincerely, your crew at Hydrus

We take the extra time and effort to build our boards better.  From the materials we use, and the unique features and accessories that come with each board.  

With our 2019 iSUP's you can see and feel the difference right away. 

It's a bold statement but these are the most rigid and durable inflatable construction on the market.  

• New Composite reinforced "Low E" 2000D PVC shell.

• Double welded interior seams.

• A hand applied, inter-layer abrasion resistant coating that adds 3x more durability.

Started in 2013, by two brothers a few close friends, and the dream to build small batches of premium boards with fresh ideas, responsible manufacturing, and a customer-friendly approach.  

 We are a local co. just outside of Boise, Idaho, a city surrounded by beautiful lakes and rivers. Hydrus is quickly becoming known for personal service, extreme durability, new ideas, clean looks and our premium products.  

 “Great boards, great service, good pricing and a company with a conscience!" -Tim M.  Owner of a JoyRide XL Inflatable.   

“Hydrus is the best! Amazing quality! I have 3 boards now and wouldn't even consider buying anything else! Hydrus rocks!!!” - Greg H.  -Owner of two Hydrus iSUP’s and an Armalight Board.             

“River surfing is hard on equipment, and this board has hit rocks a ton of times. Its durability is unmatched...” -Derek D.  Owner of a Revo SUP and ToughBlade Paddle

In typical Hydrus fashion, we take a new approach to sales.  A Community Direct approach. We promote all that make our sport and community stronger. Referrals are the most authentic sales.   We spend very little on marketing but instead rely on word-of-mouth and the quality of our products.  Then, we give back to those who support us by way of the best service possible.

Over the last few years, we've invented Armalight Construction, CrossBoards, composite re-inforced iSUP’s, Tough Blade Paddles and boards with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

From the beginning we’ve had a different mission for Hydrus.   We are all about supporting the sports we love and our community!  Our boards may be some of the most expensive to build in the world but we find ways to make sure our prices are more than reasonable.   Straight forward with no gimmicks, no overblown marketing budget, responsible manufacturing with almost zero waste, nearly everything done in-house and our main source of sales is referrals then we pass the savings on to you.We do a lot of R&D, design 100% of every product ourselves, and we maintain quality that’s far superior.

Thank you for the support!!!

*Custom boards and other products may not apply.  *See terms or contact us for full details.  

A good quality inflatable board can be relatively easy to care for and a little care can extend the life of your board by many years.   We build Hydrus boards to ideally last a lifetime.

Deflate to less than 10psi before leaving in the hot sun for extended periods of time.  We have tested this and found that leaving a board in the hot sun can inflate by an extra 7psi which could be dangerous if the board was already close to the maximum recomended pressure.

Over time UV rays will naturally discolor and slowly deteriorate most substrates like foam traction pads, bungee cords and PVC materials.   Normal use in the sun is obviously fine but avoid uneccasarily storing a board in direct sunlight for long periods of time such as all day or several days at a time.    We use a product called 303 Aerospace UV Protectant.  Spay and wipe a little all over your board once or twice a year for maximum protection.  -We have found this to be especially helpful for keeping your traction pad looking brand new for years to come. 

Winterizing: We recomend a light coat of 303 Protectant Spray before putting your board to bed for winter, then store partially inflated or loosly rolled or folded.   You can simply remove the belt from around your board then use the pump to inflate until you no longer can see hard creases or folds.   It doesn't take much to get the hard creases out maybe 5-10 full pumps or so. 

Repairs: The shell material of a high quality iSUP can be really durable but punctures can happen from hitting really sharp rocks, nails in docks, or even those obnoxius puncture vines aka: goatheads and other really sharp thorns.   There is a chance that eventually you will need to perform a repair.   We include a repair kit with every board along with simple instructions.   For your first repair please feel more than welcome to contact us and we'll guide you through the process.  

The toughest, most functional boards on water - all back by our Limited Lifetime warranty on materials and construction.
