OUT OF BUSINESS!
Unfortunately Jimmy Styks has gone out of business and their paddle boards are no longer for sale. However, we still get a surprising amount of search traffic looking for them and we’d like to help out.
There are a lot of great boards and brands out there these days – whatever your budget or style. So here are a couple of resources to get you started:

Since coming onto the SUP scene in 2009, Jimmy Styks has become a popular choice for adventure seekers. With a diverse range of both inflatable SUPs and rigid boards, Jimmy Styks has built a brand that appeals to a wide range of paddlers.
The 2018 Jimmy Styks inflatable paddle board line consists of five models, ranging in size from 10’4″ to 14′ in length. They also have two inflatable surfboards in their lineup, a 6′ shortboard and an 8′ longboard.
All Jimmy Styks inflatable SUPs are backed by a 365-day warranty which covers manufacturing defects. Their 2018 boards also come bundled with everything you need to start paddling — in the box is a nice travel backpack, 3-piece adjustable SUP paddle (either aluminum or carbon fiber), coiled leash, dual-action pump, and iSUP repair kit.
Major Improvements for 2018
This season, the Jimmy Styks brand has been relaunched with a reworked logo and a completely new lineup of inflatable paddle boards. Last year, the company offered just one iSUP model (the 11′ Drifter) which was sold at Costco. The entry level Jimmy Styks Drifter model has been discontinued and the higher-end 2018 line will not be sold through Costco.
In addition to their new range of inflatable SUPs for the 2018 season, Jimmy Styks has also made big changes to their SUP accessory bundle. The company is now including an upgraded SUP backpack, brand new patented fin system (it’s called Click ‘N Go — no tools required), improved pump, coiled SUP leash, brand new 3-piece travel paddle.

14′ Jimmy Styks Pug
The Jimmy Styks Pug is a large 14′ multi-paddler model that is built for family and small group fun. With a maximum weight capacity of 900 pounds, the Pug is the perfect board for bringing along the kids, dogs, friends, and a cooler.

Measuring 6′ long, 20″ wide, and 3.2″ thick, the Jimmy Styks airSurf6 is a super fun inflatable surfboard that you can pack up and bring along with you wherever you go.
Like most of the company’s inflatable paddle boards this season, the Jimmy Styks AirSurf 6 features dual layer fusion construction which dramatically reduces weight while still delivering high marks when it comes to overall rigidity and durability. If you’re looking for a fun and convenient shortboard, this is one to consider.
8′ Jimmy Styks AirSurf
The second inflatable surfboard in the company’s 2018 lineup, the Jimmy Styks airSurf8 is a longboard that measures 8′ x 22.5″ x 3.2″. If you like the idea of an inflatable surfboard but want something a bit longer than the company’s 6′ shortboard, the AirSurf 8 is an excellent option. Like the smaller AirSurf 6′, this board is made with fusion construction which results in a much lighter board. The AirSurf 8′ weighs in at only 15 pounds and includes a roll top carrying bag, leash, dual-action pump, and repair kit.
