About Honu
Honu, a renowned Australian brand, designs premium SUPs that combine lightness, rigidity, and durability. With a minimalist design and cutting-edge technology, each board is engineered for performance and enjoyment.
A versatile board designed for smaller riders
The Honu Byron 9'8 is a premium inflatable paddle board specially designed for smaller adults and lighter paddlers. Shorter and narrower than the Byron 10'6, it offers excellent maneuverability while retaining the stability and versatility that have made this range so well-regarded.
Its longboard-inspired profile makes it equally enjoyable for lake cruises and small waves. At just 4.7 inches thick, it keeps you closer to the water for better balance and a more natural feel.
Thanks to its X-Woven & Fused construction and heat-welded rails, it combines remarkable rigidity with a weight of just 7.6 kg. A board that is easy to transport, maneuver, and enjoy from the very first outing.

Why choose the Honu Byron 9'8?
Because a larger board isn't necessarily a better board!
The Byron 9'8 was designed for people who find traditional 10'6 or 11-foot SUPs too bulky or difficult to maneuver. Its compact size makes it easier to transport, turn, and control on the water without sacrificing glide quality.
It's an excellent choice for smaller adults looking for a lightweight, stable, and high-performance inflatable paddle board, whether they're just starting out or looking to improve.
A true premium board, suited to your size rather than a large board you have to adapt to!
