Outdoor Master Brand Review

Who is Outdoor Master?

Outdoor Master was launched in 2015 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts with origins in New York, Paris, and Shenzhen. They are most known for their excellent reputation in the ski and snowboard world. As of November 2021, they were named the official supplier of goggles and helmets to the US Ski and Snowboard Association. They claim their goal is to “provide quality and affordable outdoor products for all levels of outdoor sports lovers” and we think they are off to a great start entering the iSUP market with budget friendly boards that will fit most paddlers needs.

Outdoor Master SUP Reviews

Given Outdoor Master’s reputation, and the fact that we’ve been a big fan of their Shark Electric Pump, it comes as no surprise that we were stoked to try out their boards. Over the years, Outdoor Master has edited its lineup of inflatable paddle boards and now offers one all-around paddleboard – the Swordfish.

Overall Notes on Outdoor Master’s Stand Up Paddle Boards

Outdoor Master SUPs comes with the a 2+1 fin set-up with a slide-lock removable center fin. In general, we’ve found this fin set-up to be helpful when it comes to tracking and the slide-lock fin to be convenient and less complex than the US fin-box, while being sturdier than snap-lock fins. The one drawback to Outdoor Master’s fin set-up is that the molded flexi sidefins can get bent out of shape when the board is rolled up and occasionally need to be reshaped with some heat.

Also make sure to stick around for an overview of all of the included accessories with the purchase of any Outdoor Master board at the end of this post.

Swordfish 10’6 iSUP

The Swordfish is an all-around inflatable paddle board designed to work well for a wide variety of paddlers in all kinds of conditions. At 10’6″ long and 32″ wide with a 2+1 fin system, the Swordfish is setup for a good balance of maneuverability, tracking, and stability.

Outdoor Master includes a full kit of accessories with the Swordfish including a wheeled carrying bag, three-piece paddle, slide-in fin, leash, paddle leash, hand pump and three kinds of stick-on mounts for cameras, speakers, and other accessories.

Outdoor Master SUP Accessories

With the purchase of any Outdoor Master board, you are given:

  • Rolling travel bag
  • 3-piece paddle
  • Extra stick-on D-rings and action mounts
  • 10’ slide-lock center fin
  • Single chamber double action pump
  • Coiled leash
  • Repair kit
  • Water-proof phone case

We felt that this was a fairly comprehensive kit, given Outdoor Master’s affordable price point. We also liked the quality of the roller bag, specifically its wheels and inner insulation to keep the heat out, but we could have used an extra zipper pocket on the front or sides. Improvement could also be made on the quality of the leash (frankly, plan on buying your own leash with these SUPs), and we would have preferred either a fiberglass or fiberglass/carbon fiber blend paddle over the aluminum. We would have liked to see a double chamber pump as well, but that can be mitigated with the purchase of Outdoor Master’s electric pump. Overall, it’s a good kit for those just starting out in the SUP community that don’t want to break the bank on a new hobby.

Warranty/ Return Policy

Outdoor Master offers a 2-year warranty and will send a replacement if the board or any of the included accessories are broken within that time-frame. They also maintain a 30 day return policy, during which they will offer a full refund so long as the product is returned unused and undamaged in its original packaging.

While we cannot personally attest to their customer service for their iSUP line, we have worked with their customer service department regarding their Shark electric pump and were satisfied with the outcome.

Where to Buy

Outdoor Master sells directly to the consumer, so you can follow our links directly to their site when making your board purchase, which helps keep their costs down and their products affordable. They also offer free shipping to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other European countries.

Final Thoughts

As we mentioned at the start, we think Outdoor Master is off to a good start entering the iSUP market with the goal of creating affordable boards that meet most paddlers needs. Of course, there are some improvements to be made (especially with the Spirit Series SUPs), as we pointed out in the reviews, but none that are complete deal breakers.

We are excited to see how Outdoor Master progresses as they add new boards or newer models to their arsenal and can’t wait to try those out as well.
