The STX iSUP Hybrid Cruiser Junior is an inflatable paddle board aimed at younger riders who want to explore both stand-up paddling and light windsurfing. Its design brings together the ease of a cruiser board with compatibility for a small windsurfing rig, making it a flexible option for kids getting started on lakes, calm rivers or sheltered coastal waters.
The board’s dimensions—8 feet long, 28 inches wide and 4 inches thick—provide a stable platform that helps build confidence on the water. Its double-layer construction adds stiffness and ruggedness without adding excessive weight, so it holds its shape under pressure and stands up to bumps and scrapes during play.
Double-layer (also called laminat-of-layers) construction means the inflatable core is sandwiched between two PVC layers and heat-pressed together. This gives the board extra rigidity at high air pressures, so it performs more like a hard board but still packs down into a carry bag for easy transport and storage.
