The SUP board Aqua Marina Atlas is designed for use in all conditions and is considered suitable for beginners and experienced riders. It is a reliable and high-quality inflatable SUP that offers flexibility and ease of use, while ensuring a pleasant SUP experience on the water. You can use it for relaxed rides in the sea, for exercise, or even for waves, depending on your preferences.
Stand-up paddling is suitable for everyone, regardless of weight, physical condition, experience, and does not require many hours of training.
Large Dimensions
Its large size (3.66 meters) makes it more stable, comfortable, and fast. It is better both for the beginner who will feel safer and more balanced on it, as well as for the advanced user who wants to develop speed and cover distance. And of course, it is the only choice for larger individuals and groups.
Drop Stitch
It incorporates the top-notch Drop Stitch technology, which allows the board to maintain its shape when inflated under high pressure, and an improved air valve for better airtightness.
Stainless Steel Rings
It features stainless steel rings for seat attachment, transforming it into a sit-on-top kayak.
Bungee Cord
Equipped with the latest bungee Cord system, with an adjustment mechanism, you can carry more weight with ease and safety under its excellent elasticity.
Comfortable transport and storage
It features a solid Neoprene handle, with strap padding for greater comfort and durability. It is also an excellent choice for trips or short excursions, as you can deflate it after use and put it in a backpack.
Non-slip material
The rhombus-patterned embossed anti-slip material EVA, reminiscent of sandy beaches, provides stability and comfort.
Slide-in Fin
The largesinglefin allows for good alignment, helping you maintain the correct position and balance. Additionally, it reduces friction, making it ideal for SUP in calm waters. The kick pad at the tail offers the ability for on-the-spot turns and maneuvers, providing an extra level of flexibility and fun.

Very stable and easily withstands 150-160 kilograms. Relatively slow, obviously. However, the quality of the fin (I have also reviewed the spare part) is unacceptable as it broke within a short time, along with what was inside it and the other spare part. I thought it was my friend who broke one of them by stepping on it and encountering resistance, but it turns out that they break easily even with light waves in the sea to keep it cool from the heat. I am considering selling the Atlas solely for this reason. I imagine all Aqua Marine products have this vulnerability since the fin is the same in many of them. If you buy it, make sure to get spare parts and never leave the fin underwater or remove it. The cord that ties to the foot broke when I used it in a small wave, about one meter high. It is of very low quality compared to the Spiral, which some others have, even cheaper ones. Additionally, during the first inflation, I noticed a small defect near the wing, so it is likely that I fell on a faulty one and it needs to be replaced.
Very good sup, I love it!!
Incredible stability and maneuverability, to the point that the very first time I tried sup in my life, I stood up in the first 5 minutes even though I hadn't inflated it to 15psi.
Great exercise and it's really nice to see the seabed while standing up, no matter how tiring it is... it's a sport after all!!
But..!!
If you're the type of person who gets bored easily, it's not for you!
It's relatively big and heavy and it needs a good rinse with fresh water and wiping afterwards, before storing it, like all sups (if you want it to last, of course)... it has a process... I don't just throw it in the sea and pick it up easily...
It also definitely needs an electric pump, because even though it already has a very good manual pump, if you're a beginner and not very fit, you won't be able to reach 15psi no matter what.
In short, if you want to seriously engage in the sport, it is highly recommended...
If you just want something for fun, go for something smaller and definitely more affordable...
I have it for 2 years. You can easily go for a ride with 2 people (92 kg me, 83 my brother) and it is very stable. Overall, I don't think it has anything negative.
It goes great with one person sitting upright, but it also works very well with someone lying down with their hands. I also added a small chair for fun and used it as a kayak for a bit. We went up with two adults and two teenagers, totaling 220 kilos, and it held up! It's worth it for the quality and the weight it can handle, especially for family fun and such. I don't know what the cheaper ones do, but you don't easily give away 550 either.
Finally, when inflating, after 7-8 psi, if you weigh 65-70 kilos, you have a problem. Eat a little to reach 80+ so you can inflate it more comfortably HAHA.
