If you've ever found yourself at a beach or lake and struggling to decide between paddleboarding and kayaking, the CruiserBoard might be for you. A nifty cross between a paddleboard and kayak, this contraption allows you to sit or stand, giving you more paddling versatility.
The CruiserBoard's sides are designed to help keep the deck dry, and its deck pad provides for stable footing. The board also has a concave deck that is claimed to provide enhanced stability by lowering paddlers' center of gravity. It also helps prevent the paddle from rolling off and dropping into the water should the rider place it down on the board.
The board has a handy folding chair that offers a high, sit-atop kayak ride. This design is directed at fishing enthusiasts, beginners and lazier paddlers.
The CruiserBoard is available for $2,590.
