The powerful paddler Jobe Duna Elite 11.6
Beginner ISUP holding you back? It might be time to take the next step in stand-up paddling. This next-gen tourer features a comfortably soft non-slip EVA deckpad. Two middle fins give extra grip and traction, and the package includes a carbon three-piece paddle, waterproof backpack, pump, 10ft coiled leash and more. It won't stop you falling in like Ed Davey, though.

BODYBOARDS
The lie-down legend
Morey Mach 7
Remember your foam boogleboard from childhood holidays? It was probably based on this. Refined since the '80s original, the Mach 7 is a classic bodyboard for kids big and small. Made for colder waters and reinforced with a fibreglass rod, its tail and rails are shaped for rapid manoeuvrability.

The belly barrelled
Dick Pearce Surfrider
Take a plank to la playa and you'll get some sideways glances. Take this timber instead and you'll be the envy of everyone. Made in Cornwall from sustainable wood, the Surfrider bellyboard is based on a design from the '50s. Cling to its nose and you can plane on just about any wave.

This is an electric trail bike designed with women in mind – not that you’d know that just by looking at it, because thankfully Scott hasn’t adopted the insulting ‘shrink it and pink it’ approach that many brands take.
Squareless whisper
This budget smartwatch sequel from the Nothing sub-brand no longer looks like an Apple Watch wannabe... but can it improve on the original?
