The Endurance XL is a purpose-built large touring paddle board designed for paddlers who want distance, efficiency, and stability - without feeling limited by size or load. With extra length and volume, it delivers a smooth, efficient glide while remaining calm and predictable underfoot, even when carrying gear or supporting a larger rider.
Whether you’re paddling long stretches of flatwater, exploring coastline, or heading out on fitness and adventure-focused sessions, the Endurance XL is built to stay composed mile after mile. It’s ideal for bigger paddlers, heavier loads, or anyone who wants a touring SUP that feels powerful, stable, and comfortable - not twitchy or technical.

At Pau Hana Surf Supply, quality and sustainability is integral to our mission. We design our paddleboards for durability, ensuring they withstand the test of time and reduce environmental impact.
After your session, give the board a quick rinse with fresh water and let it dry before storing - especially if you’ve been in saltwater.
Store your board in a cool, shaded place, out of direct sunlight. If possible, keep it flat or on its side using proper board racks.
A little care goes a long way - treat it well and your board will stay solid, smooth, and ready for the next paddle.
Made with Ricochet™ Impact Resistance Technology - a tough, resilient build designed to handle real-world use. From dock bumps and rocky launches to the everyday wear that comes with fishing and exploring, the board is built to take hits without losing its shape or performance.
It’s a construction you don’t have to baby. Just load up, push off, and focus on the water ahead.
Performance Metrics
The Endurance XL feels steady and “locked in” the moment you step on - built to stay composed under load, and keep moving forward efficiently.
Glides smoothly and holds speed with less effort thanks to the displacement hull - perfect for long flatwater miles.
Best for mellow current and wide rivers - stable enough to stay confident while you focus on the route (and the gear).
Stays composed when conditions get textured - extra volume and stability help it feel predictable when loaded.
Tracks straight and efficiently for touring. Turning is steady and deliberate - built for control, not snap turns.
BUILT BIG
High capacity for big loads or larger paddlers with a stable platform that doesn’t feel maxed out.
A REAL TOURING + FISHING PLATFORM
Mount your setup, stake in shallow water, organize your deck, and keep essentials within reach.
GEAR-READY BY DESIGN
More payload, more attachment points, a deck that can accomodate a full sized bivy, and room to move around comfortably.
Ricochet™ Technology:
Ricochet™ is built for real-world impacts - rocks, paddles, docks, and the stuff that happens when you actually use your board. The membrane is integrated into the fiberglass construction to deliver exceptional durability without turning the board into a tank.
The Endurance XL was designed for paddlers who don’t fit into the “average” mold - whether that means a bigger body, more gear, or longer days on the water. From the start, the goal was to create a touring board that stays efficient without feeling fragile, and stable without feeling slow.
“This board was built for the days when you’re carrying more than just a paddle. Whether it’s camping gear, fishing equipment, or just the confidence to paddle farther, the Endurance XL is designed to stay solid when things get heavy.” - Todd Caranto, Pau Hana Founder

ENDURANCE & ENDURANCE XL
Same Endurance DNA. Very different capacity.
The Endurance range shares the same touring-focused shape and performance DNA, but volume and capacity increase as you move up the line.
If you’re near the upper weight limit of the standard Endurance, the XL will feel more stable and efficient.
The added volume helps the board sit higher in the water, improving stability, glide, and comfort under load. For larger paddlers, this means better efficiency and less drag compared to riding an undersized board.
No. When properly sized to the rider, the Endurance XL often paddles more efficiently than a smaller board overloaded beyond its ideal range. The goal isn’t maximum speed - it’s smooth, sustainable glide over distance.
Choose the Endurance XL if:
Yes - especially for larger beginners. The added width and volume make the board feel more confidence-inspiring while still delivering the benefits of a touring shape.
Compared to an all-around board, the Endurance XL:
If short turns or surf are the goal, an all-around board is better. If distance and efficiency matter, the Endurance XL wins.
If you’re on the fence, size up. Most paddlers are happier on a board with slightly more volume than one that feels under-supported - especially for touring and fitness paddling.
Unlikely. The Endurance XL is designed to support paddlers as they progress, offering stability early on and efficient glide as skills and fitness improve.
