Lidl regularly offers attractive inflatable SUP boards and other water sports products at favourable prices - ideal for beginners, families or recreational athletes who want to try out stand-up paddling this summer. Special eye-catchers are the complete sets from Mistral or F2, which have a long history in the water sports sector.

This board is a versatile all-rounder and, with a size of approx. 320 x 84 x 15 cm, a fairly wide board with a higher tipping stability. The three fins provide additional stability. When seated, the board can also be used as a kayak, as both a paddle that can be converted into a double paddle and a seat are included. A double lift pump, a dry bag, a leash, a repair kit and a rucksack are also included. This complete set is available online at Lidl for 199 euros instead of 249 euros.
The Mistral SUP board also impresses with a size of approx. 305 × 81 × 15 cm, a wide shape for high tipping stability and a wide range of uses. This iSUP can also be used as a kayak with a seat. The paddle is adjustable in length and the set includes the fin, a double lift pump, a leash, a repair kit and a rucksack. This set is currently available at Lidl for 199 euros instead of 249 euros.
This F2 SUP is designed for touring with its slightly narrower, sporty design. It includes a length-adjustable paddle, a double lift pump, a leash, a repair kit, a rucksack and, of course, the fin. However, due to its touring characteristics, this SUP cannot be converted into a kayak. This 351 x 77 x 15 cm board is available at Lidl for just 279 euros instead of 369 euros.
There is also a board for the kids, which is perfect for the smaller members of the family thanks to its smaller dimensions (280 x 67 x 10 cm). The iSUP stands out due to its compactness and lightness and is for 229 euros instead of the usual 499 euros.
With a length of 381 cm and a width of 76 cm, the Race 12'6" is the sportiest board in the range. The narrow design and single fin ensure higher speed, but also less stability. Once again, the necessary accessories are included. The Mistral Race 12'6" is not part of the water sports programme at Lidl, but is still attractive with a price of 399 euros.
To ensure complete safety on the water, Lidl offers the Slider Water Helmet from F2 in sizes S/M and L/XL. This is also currently reduced to 34,99 Euro.
If the paddles supplied are not enough for you, you can also order a Mistral paddle separately for 59.99 euros (>> available here). This is a three-part carbon SUP paddle, which is adjustable to sizes 170 cm-210 cm. If you would like to opt for a cheaper version, you can also purchase the Aquamarine Paddle for 46 Euro. In comparison, however, this paddle is only adjustable to sizes 175cm-200cm and is made of aluminium (>> available here).
For many paddlers it can get too cold in Germany, even in summer, which is why Mistral offers a selection of different wetsuits. The wetsuits vary in thickness from 2.2mm and 2.5mm and are all shorties. The price is the same for all wetsuits at 44.99 euros.
Also a selection of buoyancy waistcoats from Mistral and the company Spinera is available. The Mistral waistcoat is made of neoprene and is adjustable in size. The choice of material ensures a little more comfort and increased mobility. There are three different models from Spinera, which differ mainly in size. The Deluxe Youth is designed for children between 30-40kg and the Universal Vest for teenagers. The Aquapark Vest is available in sizes S-XXL for adults. All three models are made of lightweight PE foam and nylon fabric. This is said to be very hard-wearing, but is not as comfortable as the neoprene fabric. There is not much difference in price between the different waistcoats. The Mistral waistcoat is available for as little as 39.99 euros (>> available here) and the Spinera Waistcoats vary between 29.99 euros* and 49.99 euros >> available here.
Lidl offers a relatively large selection of SUP boards and everything that goes with them, with something for almost everyone, whether beginners, families who just want to have some fun or someone who would like to be a little more sporty on holiday. Many buyers praise the price-performance ratio of Lidl SUPs, especially for occasional trips on summer holidays. The sets usually contain everything you need and are ideal for spontaneous paddling trips. However, watch out for availability. Customer reports show that the SUP boards often sell out quickly in the shops. Some shops only receive a few of them, so anyone interested should order online early or enquire at the shop.
