San Diego, CA (May 2nd, 2023) — ISLE, the original surf and SUP manufacturer out of San Diego, CA, is excited to
announce the creation of an entirely new inflatable watercraft category dubbed Inflatable Hardboards. The new
category will debut under the PRO series collection, which will be offered in two models and five sizes of their iconic,
best-selling Pioneer and Explorer models.

The PRO series, a breath of fresh air in the SUP and kayak categories, now offers consumers the best of both
worlds: the performance of a rigid board with the convenience of an inflatable package. Inflatable Harboards utilize
InfinityFiber, a patented, ISLE-exclusive material innovation that makes Inflatable Hardboards 200-300% more rigid
than typical inflatables. The PRO models also incorporate PowerFuse technology, a mechanically fused rail structure
in the outer board circumference that decreases potential air leakage, improves maneuverability, and prolongs the
board’s lifespan. The solution eliminates common pain points within the inflatable watercraft categories by drastically
improving stability, glide, performance, and durability.

This unique construction eliminates the commonly experienced ‘taco’ effect of inflatable boards once on the water. By
increasing the stability and rigidity, users will notice greater efficiency in paddle strokes, increased glide and speed,
and less ‘wobble’ when paddling in choppy water. By drastically improving these performance areas, users will
appreciate spending more time on the water with friends and family without fatigue.

Jimmy Blakeney, VP of Product, mentioned, “One of the most common questions we get from customers is “Should I
get a hardboard or an inflatable?” Our team has worked tirelessly to develop a product that offers the stability and
performance of a traditional hardboard with the convenience and portability of inflatable watercraft. The PRO series delivers the best of both worlds, and we’re excited to see how this innovation transforms the industry in the years
ahead.”

In line with ISLE’s innovative design considerations, the PRO Series encompasses intuitive, user-centric features
across the PRO models and accessories. All boards will feature ISLE’s patent-pending ISLE-LinkTM Ecosystem, a
nose-to-tail connection system allowing users to customize their paddle setup to their preference. Easily attach
accessories like ergonomically designed kayak seats and footrests to transition from SUP to kayak in mere minutes
on the water, or strap down layers, dry packs, and paddle accessories to a preferred location with the gear
management system that replaces typical bungee tie-downs. Other features include a ‘click-and-go’ fin system for
easy installation and removal, a 2-part folding fin box for more compact storage, a camera mount on the front of the
board, and a premium wheelie backpack for effortless transport.

All PRO models, offered in various lengths and widths for preferred stability, performance, speed, and distances on
the water, will be sold in bundle options on ISLE’s website, allowing customers to create customized packages for
their specific paddling style and needs.

The Pro Series will be available to purchase directly at ISLE today. To learn more, you can visit: islesurfandsup.com.
