If family paddleboarding means everyone — including the dog and the cooler full of sandwiches — the Oahu Nui is your dream ride.

This 15' long, 4.5' wide inflatable paddleboard is basically a floating family room. Whether you're planning a floating picnic or a day of splashing around, there's plenty of space for the entire crew.

Inflating the Oahu Nui takes no longer than your standard SUP, thanks to twin valves and included pumps. When the adventure winds down, it rolls neatly into a travel-friendly bag that fits in your car trunk.

Hot Tip: Turn the Oahu Nui into a floating picnic base—just don't forget the snacks!

Stable, comfy, and confidence-inspiring, the Big EZ is perfect for paddling with your pint-sized co-captains.

The soft EVA deck pad is gentle on little knees, and the spacious platform makes it easy for kids to sit, stand, or play while you paddle. Built-in bungee cords at the front are perfect for stashing sun hats, water bottles, and extra layers.

Even better? The Big EZ comes in a hardboard, inflatable, or ultra-durable VFT construction, so you can pick the one that fits your family’s lifestyle.

Ready to level up your family adventures? Meet the Bimini Skiff.

This 15'0 inflatable is as versatile as it gets: use it as a floating dock, a fishing platform, or rig it up with a 5HP motor and zoom to that hidden offshore island.

Despite its size, it rolls up surprisingly small, making it easy to stash in your trunk for family vacations. Whether you're paddling, fishing, or powering across open water, the Bimini Skiff is built for big-time exploration.

Hot Tip: Use Pau Hana Cinch Straps to secure a chilly bin (cooler) to the Bimini. It doubles as a seat and keeps your drinks frosty!

If you’re looking for a tough, stable, easy-to-love paddleboard that won’t bust your budget, the Malibu Classic is your board.

The Malibu Classic is the ultimate go-to for families who want one board that everyone can share and use - without stressing over scratches or dings.

If your family is always on the move -  whether that's living in a van, cruising in an RV, or hopping between marinas - the Solo SUP™ Backcountry is a game-changer.

This inflatable paddleboard packs down to the size of a sleeping bag, including the pump and paddle! Yet on the water, it paddles like a dream thanks to its twin fin setup and streamlined shape, perfect for handling choppy conditions or peaceful lakes alike.

Hot Tip: This board stashes neatly under seats, into roof boxes, or in tiny RV closets - making sure space constraints never steal your stoke.

Before you pick your perfect match, here’s what to look for when shopping for the best paddleboards for family paddleboarding:

Stability

Wider boards with higher volume offer better balance, making them ideal for beginners, wiggly toddlers, and gear-heavy rides. Extra stability means you can load up without tipping the fun overboard.

Storage and Transportation

Inflatable paddleboards pack down small and are easier to haul - a major win if you’ve got a packed car or limited garage space. Hardboards offer performance perks but need roof racks and careful handling.

Durability

Kids, pets, and adventures tend to push paddleboards to the limit. Inflatables and VFT-construction boards are rugged enough to handle the knocks, bumps, and epic sandcastle landings that come with family outings.

Comfort

Soft EVA deck pads aren’t just about grip -  they’re about protecting knees (and little egos) when inevitable splashdowns happen. Plus, they’re way comfier for lounging or picnicking between paddles.
