SipaBoards Tourer Aqua Electric

SipaBoards Tourer Aqua Electric — Overview

The SipaBoards Tourer Aqua Electric is the touring-focused eSUP in SipaBoards’ Aqua Collection — a 12’0″ / 3.65 m double-layer dropstitch hull built for long-distance exploration and confident all-day cruising. The sleek elongated shape cuts cleanly through chop and tracks straight at speed, while the integrated SipaDrive 2.0 jet motor delivers smooth, silent thrust up to 4 knots when you don’t feel like paddling.

Powered by the modular Dual+ Battery System (180-360 Wh), the Tourer Aqua delivers up to 7 hours of cruising autonomy. Bluetooth paddle remote and the SipaBoards companion app round out the spec. The complete set includes a carbon-fibre paddle, coiled leash, carry strap, travel backpack and quick-lock fin — everything you need to ride at a more accessible price than the GPS-equipped Silver Collection.

12’0″ Touring Hull — Distance Specialist

12’0″ / 3.65 m length, 32.3″ / 82 cm width, 6″ / 15 cm thickness, 320 L volume. Built from high-density double-layer dropstitch with double-rail reinforcements — stiff, stable and durable. 14.9 kg with motor / 10.9 kg without.

SipaDrive 2.0 Water-Jet Motor

The second-generation SipaDrive water-jet motor delivers zero-emission, silent thrust up to 4 knots. Anti-debris protection, IP68 watertight construction, and a Bluetooth paddle remote with auto-shut-off if the paddle falls in the water.

Dual+ Battery System (up to 7 h)

Modular Dual+ Battery System scales from 180 Wh standard (~3 h) to 360 Wh Expedition pack (up to 7 h electric jet-assist). Battery packs are upgradable and travel-friendly: the 90 Wh brick is IATA-approved for air travel.

Self-Inflating Compressor (~5 min)

Integrated SipaAir compressor inflates the board to working pressure in approximately 5 minutes — no manual pumping. Self-regulating pressure thermostat prevents over-heating.

Carbon-Fibre Paddle + Full Travel Kit

3-piece carbon-fibre paddle with integrated wireless Bluetooth remote ships with the board. 10″ coiled safety leash, carry strap, repair kit, Quick-lock fin and durable travel backpack also included — ready to ride from the first session.

Who is the Tourer Aqua Electric for?

FAQ — Drive, Battery & Touring

How fast is the SipaBoards Tourer Aqua?

Up to 4 knots under SipaDrive 2.0 motor power, depending on rider weight and conditions.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 7 hours on the upgraded Dual+ Expedition pack (360 Wh). The standard 180 Wh setup delivers approximately 3 hours of motor cruising.

What is the difference between Aqua and Silver?

The Silver Collection uses the third-generation SipaDrive 2.1 with integrated GPS tracking, a 5000 Lumen LED night-light and aerospace-grade X-Woven Dropstitch construction. The Aqua tier uses the proven SipaDrive 2.0, double-layer dropstitch and no GPS — same touring hull, same Dual+ Battery System, at a lower price point.

How quickly does the board inflate?

Approximately 5 minutes via the integrated SipaAir compressor. The self-regulating pressure thermostat prevents over-heating during inflation.

Can I use the Tourer Aqua in salt water?

Yes — all electronics are sealed against corrosion (IP68 watertight). Rinse with fresh water after each salt-water session and let everything dry before storage.

Is the paddle remote waterproof?

Yes — the Bluetooth paddle-mount remote is fully waterproof. The motor auto-shuts off if the paddle falls in the water.

Can I upgrade the battery later?

Yes — the Dual+ Battery System is fully modular. Add a second 90 Wh or 180 Wh brick at any time to extend autonomy.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

24-month standard warranty on inflatables, drive system and battery. Register on the SipaBoards website to extend coverage to 36 months at no extra cost.
