SOLsombrero Inflatable Paddle Board
Description
The SOLsombrero Inflatable Paddle Board is SOL's most expansive and capable SUP, built for paddlers who demand stability, capacity, and versatility in one commanding package. At 39 inches wide and 8 inches thick - the first-ever SUP board of its kind - this board is practically impossible to flip, even in strong currents or whitewater. It comfortably holds up to two adults or four children, making it the go-to choice for multi-person adventures, family outings, adaptive paddling, and serious fishing expeditions.
Loaded with 18 secured tie-down attachment points, dual fishing mount plates, a printed fish ruler, and kayak seat compatibility, the SOLsombrero is equal parts fishing vessel, adventure platform, and recreational powerhouse. The patent-pending Switchblade Retractable Fin System adds a layer of innovation that no other board on the market can match, automatically retracting when it encounters rocks or obstacles to protect the fin and keep your ride smooth. Whether you're navigating rapids, casting a line, or exploring open water with the whole family, the SOLsombrero delivers the confidence and capability to do it all.

FAQ
Is the SOLsombrero good for beginners?
Absolutely. The SOLsombrero's 39-inch width and 8-inch thickness give it a stability rating of 10/10, making it one of the most beginner-friendly boards on the market. New paddlers, children, and those with balance concerns will feel secure and comfortable right from the start.
Can this board really hold two adults?
Yes - the SOLsombrero has a weight capacity of 675 lbs and is specifically designed to hold two full-size adults or up to four children. It's a great choice for couples, parents paddling with kids, caregivers with wheelchair users, or fishing guides carrying clients and gear.
How does the Switchblade Retractable Fin System work?
The patent-pending Switchblade Retractable Fin System uses a racquetball as a retention device. In normal use, gravity keeps the fins fully extended for optimal tracking and control. When a fin strikes a rock or obstacle, it automatically retracts to prevent damage - then returns to the extended position. This also allows the deflated board to roll up smaller than boards with fixed fins.
How do I inflate the SOLsombrero?
The board comes with the SOL DoubleShot Hand Pump, which features double-action pumping - meaning it pushes air into the board on both the up and down strokes. This significantly reduces inflation time. The included additional pump tube also increases total air volume per stroke for faster inflation.
Can I use the SOLsombrero as a kayak?
Yes! The SOLsombrero is compatible with SOL Kayak Seats and includes a kayak seat conversion option. Simply attach four heavy-duty galvanized metal clips to the board's attachment points to transform it into a sit-on-top kayak in seconds.
Is this board good for fishing?
The SOLsombrero is one of the most fishing-capable SUP boards available. It features two mount attachment plates that accept rod holders, speakers, cameras, and cup holders, plus a printed fish measuring ruler built right into the board. Its 18 tie-down attachment points let you bring a full cooler, tackle boxes, and all your gear without breaking a sweat.
How does the SOLsombrero ship, and does it require assembly?
The SOLsombrero ships deflated and rolled up in the included SOL Eco Rolling Sport Backpack, so it can be delivered as a standard package - no freight or pallet required. Setup involves inflating the board with the included hand pump and attaching the fins, which takes most paddlers around 10-15 minutes.
