There are some pieces of outdoor gear that quietly become essential. Not because they’re flashy. Not because they have the latest technology. But because they consistently do exactly what they’re supposed to do every single time. That’s been our experience with the Sea to Summit Big River Dry Bag.

Over the past decade, these sandals have been everywhere with me. Paddle boarding sessions on alpine lakes, rafting trips through desert canyons, campground mornings in the Rockies.

After three years of using this board across mountain lakes, calm reservoirs, campground shorelines, and road trip stops throughout the Rockies and the Mountain West, it has consistently proven itself as one of the easiest and most enjoyable pieces of outdoor gear we own.

The MYBOAT 11’6” extra wide inflatable paddle board has been our go to SUP across a wide range of locations, from calm lakes in Arkansas to alpine water in Colorado. It is stable, easy to use, and built for more than just paddling.
