Looking for one paddle board that can do a bit of everything? The MOAI SUP & Surf 9’5 Paddle Board Package has been designed for paddlers who want a lightweight, agile board that’s just as happy cruising calm lakes as it is catching small waves at the beach.
As one of the smallest boards in the MOAI range, the 9’5 is ideal for smaller and medium sized paddlers who want a board that’s easy to handle, incredibly responsive and packed with performance. Stable enough for beginners yet playful enough for more experienced riders, it’s a fantastic choice if you’re looking for an inflatable paddle board that’s ready for almost any adventure.
Complete with a premium trolley backpack, adjustable fibreglass paddle, double-action pump, leash, and repair kit, this package has everything you need to get out on the water from day one.
Built for All-Round Paddleboarding & Small Wave Surfing
Some paddle boards are designed purely for flat water, while others focus solely on surfing.
The MOAI SUP & Surf 9’5 Paddle Board bridges the gap beautifully.
Its compact length and responsive shape make it incredibly easy to turn, making it perfect for recreational paddling, exploring rivers, family beach days, and even surfing smaller waves when the conditions are right.
Whether you’re practising step-back turns on a lake or catching your first wave on holiday, this board is designed to put a smile on your face.
Ideal for:
- Recreational paddleboarding
- Small wave surfing
- Coastal adventures
- Lakes and reservoirs
- Calm rivers and canals
- Beach holidays
- Beginner to intermediate paddlers
Lightweight Without Compromising Stability
At just 7.7 kg, the MOAI SUP & Surf 9’5 Paddle Board is one of the lightest paddle boards in the MOAI range.
That makes it easier to:
- Carry to the water
- Lift onto a roof rack
- Transport on holiday
- Pack away after your paddle
Despite its lightweight construction, the board remains reassuringly stable thanks to its well-balanced outline and generous 76 cm width.
It’s particularly well suited to lighter paddlers who want confidence without sacrificing manoeuvrability.
Premium Fusion Construction for a Stronger, Lighter Board
The MOAI SUP & Surf 9’5 is built using premium Fusion Technology, combining two layers of high-quality PVC with advanced drop-stitch construction to create a paddle board that’s both lightweight and incredibly durable.
Inside the board, thousands of high-tensile polyester threads connect the deck and hull. When inflated, these threads hold the board’s shape while the dual-layer PVC construction provides outstanding rigidity, strength, and long-term durability.
Inflated to up to 18 PSI, the result is a board that feels reassuringly solid under your feet, helping improve stability, glide, and overall paddling performance whether you’re cruising flat water or catching small waves.
Why Dual-Layer Fusion Technology Matters
- Two layers of premium PVC for increased strength and durability
- Advanced drop-stitch core delivers excellent rigidity
- Lightweight construction makes the board easier to carry and transport
- Improved stiffness creates a more efficient and responsive ride
- Built to withstand years of adventures on lakes, rivers, canals, and the coast
It’s this combination of premium materials and modern construction that gives the MOAI 9’5 the feel of a much more expensive paddle board while remaining lightweight enough to carry with ease.
Easy to Transport, Easy to Store
One of the biggest advantages of an inflatable paddle board is the freedom to take it almost anywhere.
When your adventure is over, simply deflate the board, roll it up, and pack everything into the included premium trolley backpack.
The built-in wheels make it easy to transport through car parks, campsites, airports, or down to the beach, while the compact packed size means it won’t take over your garage or spare room.

Yes. Fibreglass paddles are lighter than aluminium paddles, making them more comfortable to use over longer distances. They also offer a smoother flex, which can help reduce fatigue and improve paddling efficiency.

How should I care for my inflatable paddle board?
To help maximise its lifespan:
- Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use
- Allow the board to dry before storing
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when fully inflated
- Inflate to the recommended pressure. On hot sunny days we always recommend under inflating paddleboard by a 1-2 PSI due to internal air expansion when hot.
Looking after your board properly will help keep it performing at its best for years to come.
