Fanatic Ripper Air SLT iSUP Package

The Fanatic Ripper Air SLT is a properly thought-through inflatable paddleboard package for kids who are ready for more than a toy board. It is light, stable and easy to handle, which makes it a brilliant choice for juniors learning on flat water, playing in sheltered bays, or catching their first small waves.

What makes this board stand out is that it has been sized around younger riders rather than simply shrinking an adult board and hoping for the best. At just 5kg, it is far easier for a child to carry, set up and manage confidently, and that makes a massive difference to how often it actually gets used.

Where It Sits in the Fanatic Range

The Ripper Air SLT is Fanatic’s dedicated kids’ inflatable SUP. Choose this if the rider is lighter, younger, or would struggle with the weight and size of a full-size adult all-round board.

If your paddler is growing fast, wants more glide, or is moving into teenage/adult sizing, the next step in the range is the Fanatic Fly Air SLT iSUP Package. If you want a crossover board that can also be used for beginner windsurfing, look at the Fanatic iSUP Package Viper Air SLT.

Why Choose the Ripper Air SLT

• Proper kids sizing – easier to carry, easier to paddle, and far less intimidating than a full-size board.
• Stable and confidence-building – ideal for first sessions on rivers, lakes and calm coastal days.
• Lightweight SLT construction – less hassle on land and a much smaller pack size for transport and storage.
• Soft, forgiving feel – inflatable comfort underfoot with plenty of grip for younger paddlers.
• Ready-to-go package – includes the essentials so you are not chasing bits separately.
• Good fun beyond day one – not just for absolute beginners; it is playful enough for more confident kids too.
