We at ISUPcenter test Paddle Boards that can be found in our webshop. For example, we have also made a review of the Red Paddle 10’6 Ride. For these reviews, we test a board on all relevant points. The 9’5 is just new to the market. In this extensive test of the new Moai SUP we looked at several factors including stability and stiffness.
What is the Moai 9’5 for Paddle Board?
The Moai 9’5 Paddle Board is a new SUP from Moai. The board is intended for the smaller suppers. Moai is relatively new in the SUP market but that is not noticeable, they offer quality and complete products for a competitive price. You have 5 different Moai boards, namely the 9’5″ allround, the 10’6″ allround, the 11″ allround, the 12’4″ allround family (2-person) and finally the 12’6″ touring. Almost every Moai Paddle Board has the same design, only the qualities differ. Would you like to know which Moai supboard suits you best? Then view our Moai advice guide. We have tested the complete Moai 9,5 package in this review, although this review is mainly about the board itself.Contents of the Moai 9’5 package
The package includes almost everything you need for supping straight away. For example, there is a leash to safely hold on to your board if you fall and thanks to the supplied bag you do not have to search endlessly for a suitable way to transport the SUP. The complete package includes the following accessories:- The Moai 9’5 board
- NEW: Adjustable fiberglass/aluminium paddle
- NEW: Reinforced trolley backpack (with wheels)
- NEW: US vin box
- Moai leash
- Repair kit
- Moai double action pump

Test Factors
We test the same factors for every Paddle board review. In this way we guarantee the quality and we make it possible to compare the reviews with each other. We test the following 4 standard factors with every review:- How qualitative the board is
- The stiffness of the SUP
- How stable the board is on the water
- And finally, we test the maneuverability of the SUP
