Great product. Excellent value and build quality seems great. Comparable or even better than some of the more established brands. Delivery and packaging all fantastic. Very happy so far

About Bluefin SUP

Written by the company

About Bluefin SUP
Bluefin is a family-run business based in Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. The team has grown up around the sea. Holidaying on the coast of Scotland, their love of the ocean has grown from a hobby to a successful company, now providing SUPs to people all over the World.

Our Product Range
We offer a wide and diverse range of SUP boards to suit everybody, whether you’re an avid paddle boarder or just starting out. If you’re looking for an all-rounder we recommend our Cruise range which comes in 4 different sizes ranging from 8ft to 15ft. If you’re a more advanced paddle-boarder then take a look at our Cruise Carbon range.

For the explorer and adventurer, take a look at our Sprint range, our Sprint paddle-boards benefit from a long profile & angled nose that cuts through the water with each stroke. Choose between the 10’8 & 12′ depending on your height & weight or the 15′ for longer distance paddling & tandem use.

If you’ve fancied doing Yoga on the water then we have our wider range of paddleboards starting with the Aqua Fit, the perfect balance & space. It also paddles perfectly as an all-around board. If you have a large group of friends but can only take 1 paddleboard then the 18ft Mammoth board is one to look at, great for group activities and can fit 10 people on deck at once for some serious paddling teamwork.

Buyer Beware

I bought a Bluefin Cruise Carbon 12' board last September and have used it only a few times. Recently, when I went to use it again, I discovered that nearly all the mounting points for the bungee tie-downs are either falling off or on the verge of detaching. Bluefin's customer support offered me a link to buy glue on Amazon or an option to ship the board back to them for repairs at my expense. I am very disappointed in the quality of this board, especially considering I paid $800.00 USD for it. In contrast, I have Isle boards that are over six years old and have never experienced any issues with them.
**Update 10-22-24** Regarding the reply from Bluefin to my review. I did contact help@bluefintrading on 10-15-24. My support ticket 85311 was handled by Kenzie. If you read my original review you will see what options I was given. Considering this board was purchased on September 17th, 2023 and just over 1 year it is falling apart is extremely surprising. What is even more surprising is that Bluefin is not standing behind their product. Whomever is replying to your reviews should actually "read" the review. Your reply asks me to contact your support when I in fact already had. Extremely poor customer service.

Although more expensive than most other brands Blue fin is worth every penny. I had no experience SUP’s and am really enjoying the Bluefin 12’ cruise, advertised as perfect for beginners and intermediate level it does everything you want and more. The only thing I regret is that I only bought 1, having to wait for my family to give it back is boring. The board is easy to inflate and easily carries 2 adults, the accessories are very good and the customer service is excellent, fast and friendly. I will definitely be buying another one soon 👍👍

Broken Sprint Carbon, quick replacement

I had a Sprint Carbon SUP which broke after a little more than ywo years. Hence the five year warranty covered this. As the Sprint Carbon had been discontinued, the Bluefin support gave me a new Nitro SUP. The support was quick and really helpful. Thanks guys!

Please do not use this company!

Please do not use this company!

I bought a brand new (ex demo) Paddle board from them, which I was assured would be completely defect free.

Lo and behold it came with cracks to the fin boxes, and missing attachments to the pump (no foot stand and snapped deflate nozzle).

I arranged a return through bluefin. The return took over 2 weeks to process.

I was then issued with a tracking number for my replacement.

This item never showed up. I contacted bluefin numerous times to chase this up and was told every day they were “looking into it”. 2 weeks later they finally agreed to send another paddle board to me.

This finally arrived, 5 weeks after purchasing an expensive board in good faith! I was utterly amazed to find they had sent me an older model, that had been refurbished, in place of my original latest model that was new!

I have asked Bluefin numerous times for contact details to discuss this outrageous experience with someone but they will not supply this.

This is the worst customer service experience I have experienced.

I have sent back the old version, refurbished paddle board and have requested a full refund.

Please don’t be fooled by their strong marketing techniques, they are completely scamming you and supply the most inept, frustrating customer service department you will ever deal with!

Great products, amazing customer service

I have tried 4-5 different SUP board manufacturers so far. Out of all of them the boards from Bluefin were by far the best. Bit more expensive but definitely worth the price. The customer support replies astonishingly quick. Even on a Sunday I once got an answer within minutes. Everyone on the team was very helpful so far. No. 1 recommondation for my friends and family.

Good and easy service.

I had a problem with the handle and the centre section of a paddle. Unfortunately, the warranty for the accessories had expired. Support took my order and I was able to buy the damaged parts very easy.
Thanks to Khareen and Sophie. Good and easy service.

Tore the SUP bag badly

Tore the SUP bag badly, which I felt was a manufacturing fault, so I returned it to the company. They asked for some pictures to evaluate the issue and then immediately arranged for a replacement bag. They were very efficient and top notch service. NB. I really love my BlueFin SUP but I do still think the bag should be a whisker larger (10' 8" Cruise Carbon).

Problem with the order form from Bluefin…

The initial order form from Bluefin accepted missing data of my Adress and automatically filled in wrong numbers. So the package could not be delivered to me. All the following problems had to be solved "by hand" and took weeks. Joe from Bluefin did a great Job on that.
