If you’re searching for a high performance inflatable paddle board built for distance, adventure and efficiency, the NRS Clipper SUP Board is in a class of its own. Designed specifically for touring, this board blends speed, tracking and stability giving you the confidence to paddle further, explore more and carry everything you need along the way.
Whether you’re taking on long flat water routes, battling headwinds, or loading up for multi-day trips, the NRS Clipper paddle board is built to handle it all and amongst the best inflatable touring boards available.
Designed for Distance & Efficiency
The Clipper is purpose built for paddlers who value efficient forward motion and reduced fatigue.
Its standout feature is the V-Hull nose, which cuts through the water rather than pushing it. This creates a noticeably smoother and faster ride especially over longer distances.
You’ll benefit from:
Improved glide with less resistance
Better tracking in flat water and light chop
More efficient paddling over time
Reduced need to constantly switch paddle sides
It’s the kind of board that rewards good technique and makes long paddles feel easier.
Advanced Construction That Sets It Apart
This isn’t your average inflatable SUP. NRS has packed the Clipper with technology that genuinely improves performance.
Z/Blend Core™ construction delivers a lighter feel while increasing stiffness
Multi-chamber IST™ shaping refines the board’s profile for touring
True Balance design system enhances durability and overall ride quality
Main chamber inflates up to 20 PSI for maximum rigidity
Together, these features create a paddle board that feels closer to a hardboard than a traditional inflatable.
Stability Where It Matters Most
Touring boards often sacrifice stability but not here. The DropDeck™ design lowers your stance while maintaining volume through the rails, giving you a more planted and controlled feel.
This is especially noticeable when:
Carrying extra gear
Paddling in wind or chop
Spending long periods on the water
Stepping back for turns or adjustments
Building confidence as a progressing paddler
It’s stable without feeling slow, exactly what you want in an adventure touring SUP.
Smarter Hydrodynamics = Less Effort
The IST Concave rail system is one of those features you don’t notice visually but you feel instantly on the water. It works by channelling water cleanly along the rails toward the fin, which results in:
A quieter, smoother glide
Improved efficiency with every stroke
Better momentum between strokes
Over distance, this translates into less fatigue and more enjoyment.
Built for Real Adventures
The NRS inflatable Clipper paddle board is designed to carry more than just you.
With multiple rigging points and a thoughtful layout, it’s ready for proper touring:
Front and rear deck rigging systems for dry bags and gear
Three carry handles for easy transport (solo or tandem)
Comfortable EVA deck pad with excellent grip in wet conditions
Durable construction built for repeated use in varied environments
Whether it’s a day mission or an overnight trip, you’ve got the space and support you need.
Fin Setup That Adapts to You
Included with the board is a versatile fin setup that lets you paddle in different environments without compromise.
Touring fin for maximum tracking and distance paddling
Grass fin for shallow or weedy conditions
QuickClick™ system for fast, tool-free changes
Impact-resistant construction to handle real world use
This flexibility makes the NRS Clipper far more adaptable than most touring boards.
Four Sizes to Match Your Paddling Style and Physique
The NRS Clipper range includes two standard and two wide models, so you can choose between speed or added stability and get the best board for your physique.
11’0” (110): Lightweight and responsive. Best suited for smaller paddlers or those prioritising manoeuvrability.
11’0” Wide (110w): Adds extra width for increased stability, ideal for newer paddlers or carrying light gear.
12’6” (126): Longer and faster, built for covering distance efficiently and improving glide.
12’6” Wide (126w): Maximum stability and load capacity. Perfect for larger paddlers or fully loaded touring setups.
There are plenty of inflatable SUPs on the market but very few are genuinely designed with touring performance as the priority, not just as a secondary feature. The NRS Clipper SUP Board is different because every element of its design works together to help you paddle further, more efficiently and with greater confidence.
The NRS Clipper offers:
A genuine performance focused shape with the shaped V-Hull
Advanced construction that makes a real difference with Z/Blend Core™, Multi-chamber IST™ shaping and True Balance design technologies
Stability that doesn’t compromise speed
The ability to carry gear and go further without compromising performance
NRS Clipper one the best SUPs on the market
If you’re serious about paddle boarding beyond short sessions and want to explore, travel and push your distance, the NRS Clipper SUP Board is one of the best touring inflatables available.
Here at SUP Funk this is now our premium board of choice and the one you will see us regular out on the water using.
This is not just an inflatable paddle board, it’s your gateway to bigger adventures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NRS Clipper SUP Board designed for?
The NRS Clipper SUP Board is built specifically for touring and long distance paddling. It’s ideal for paddlers who want better tracking, more speed and the ability to carry gear for day trips or overnight adventures.
Is the NRS Clipper good for beginners?
Yes, with the right size. The wide versions (110w & 126w) are especially beginner friendly, offering extra stability. If you’re new but want a board you can grow into, the Clipper is a great long term investment.
What size NRS Clipper should I choose?
It depends on your weight, height and paddling style:
110 → lighter paddlers, more manoeuvrable
110w → added stability for beginners or light gear
126 → longer distance paddling and better glide
126w → maximum stability and load capacity
If you’re planning touring or carrying heavy gear, the 12’6” models are usually the best choice.

The Clipper is a true touring board, not an all-rounder. Key differences include:
V-Hull nose for better speed and tracking
DropDeck™ design for improved stability

My heart wanted a narrow board however my head directed me to the wide board as I planned to be doing some long trips which will involve up to grade 3 at times.
The board arrived really quickly after ordering and packaged well.
Just had my first outing on this SUP……..wow! So stiff and stable. It’s fast with great glide, the rocker front and rear really livens up the board making it responsive and fun.
It’s not designed as a white water board however I found it very good on my first outing on some easy moving water today.
As a family both my daughters and wife had a go and all were very impressed with how well it tracked yet was also easy to turn and they liked how stable it was.
The quality of the NRS clipper is outstanding. I’m delighted and impressed at my purchase and the service I received.
Thank you SUP Funk.
