Body Glove Paddle Board Review and Better Alternatives

The Body Glove Performer 11 ft was a Costco board, and Costco is where it has spent the last few years quietly running out.

Five different item numbers have carried the Performer name. Every one of them is now sold out or down to single digit warehouses.

Body Glove itself does not sell it. There is no listing on the brand’s own site, none on Walmart, and none on Amazon.

So this page covers what the Performer actually was, and four boards you can order today that do the same job.

What happened to the Body Glove Performer

Body Glove is a licensed name on paddle boards rather than a manufacturer of them, and the Performer reached buyers almost entirely through Costco. Warehouse tracking as of August 2026 shows five separate item numbers under that name, which is what several model years of the same package look like from the outside.

• Item 1900829, Performer 11 ft: zero of 66 tracked warehouses. Out of stock.
• Item 1654626, Performer iSUP, marked down: three of 597 warehouses.
• Item 1819433, Performer GTS Touring package, marked down: 22 of 599 warehouses, and the only one with meaningful stock left.
• Item 1654473, Performer package: zero of 128 warehouses.
• Item 2622052, Performer 11 ft: one of 346 warehouses.

Outside Costco there is nothing. A search of Walmart returns no Performer listing, Body Glove’s own site has no paddle board product page for it, and there is no Amazon listing under the name. When a board is a licensed product sold through one warehouse club, the end of the club deal is the end of the board.

Better alternatives to the Body Glove Performer

All four are complete packages at or under what the Performer listed for, all four are in stock, and the first matches its 11 by 34 inch shape almost exactly.

1. SamaDally 11 ft x 34 in Paddle Board

Same length, same width, and the number the Performer was weakest on is the number this board is strongest on.

#1

SamaDally 11 ft x 34 in Paddle Board

Closest match

Check price

• Size11 ft x 34 in
• Capacity450 lb
• Fins3 removable
• In the boxPaddle, pump, coiled leash, phone pouch, 100 L backpack

Best for: Two people, or one paddler with a dog and gear.

Thirty four inches of width with 450 lb of capacity, which is the family board formula: room for two, and enough float that nobody sinks the tail.

Strengths

• 34 in wide
• 450 lb capacity
• Everything in one box

Weaknesses

• Wide boards are slow boards

Four hundred and fifty pounds against the Performer’s 320 is a real difference: it is the gap between one adult with gear and two adults, or an adult and a large dog.

2. MYBOAT 11 ft 6 Paddle Board

If what you liked about the Performer was that it was a big stable platform, this is the version that leans into that rather than apologising for it.

#2

MYBOAT 11 ft 6 Paddle Board

Check price

• Size11 ft 6 x 35 in
• Capacity450 lb
• Fins3, 9 in centre fin
• Extras10 point bungee, 4 D rings

Best for: Two or three people on one board, or SUP yoga.

Thirty five inches is exceptional width even among family boards, and it is the simplest way to buy stability. MYBOAT pairs it with a 450 lb limit and a bungee area at each end.

Strengths

• A full 35 in wide
• 450 lb capacity
• Three carry handles

Weaknesses

• Too wide to be quick

It is slower than the Performer was and it is far harder to tip. For SUP yoga or for a board that gets shared around a family, that is the correct trade.

3. Roc 10 ft 6 Paddle Board

If the Performer’s list price was more than you wanted to pay, the shorter Roc does the beginner job for considerably less and still carries more.

Ten foot six turns more easily and glides less, which is exactly right for a first season on flat water and exactly wrong for covering distance.

4. Entroffy 11 ft 6 Paddle Board

And if the Performer appealed because of the touring package rather than the standard one, length is the spec that was actually doing that work.

#4

Entroffy 11 ft 6 Paddle Board

Check price

• Size11 ft 6 x 33 in x 6 in
• Capacity450 lb
• Pressure15 PSI in 5 to 10 minutes
• In the box2 in 1 paddle, 3 fins, leash, pump

Best for: Paddlers who outgrew a 10 footer within one season.

At 11 ft 6 by 33 in this is the long end of the all round class: it still forgives a wobble, but it holds a line across open water instead of drifting.

Strengths

• Longer hull tracks noticeably better
• 450 lb capacity
• Convertible paddle included

Weaknesses

• Bulkier to pack than a 10 ft 6 board

Six extra inches of length is what stops a board wandering when you paddle into wind, and it is the reason a touring board feels calmer than an allround one over an hour.

Data & Facts

How did the Body Glove Performer change over time?

Five item numbers is the clearest record of this board’s history, because each one is a package Costco bought and then stopped buying.

• Thickness moved: item 1900829 is a 6 in board, while other Performer items are specified at 5.4 in. That is a real difference in stiffness under load, not a rounding.
• The pump was upgraded: the base package ships a hand pump quoted at eight to twelve minutes of work, later items include an electric pump.
• A construction name appeared: later packages are described with AirFrame XT, which the earlier item numbers do not mention.
• A touring version was added: the GTS Touring package under item 1819433 sat alongside the standard Performer at a lower list price.

Pro & Con

Built & Material

The current specification is a 6 in thick inflatable at 24 lb, which is a sensible weight for 11 ft by 34 in and points at a single layer drop stitch build with a reinforced rail.

Earlier item numbers are specified at 5.4 in rather than 6 in. That two thirds of an inch matters more than it sounds: a thinner board of the same length flexes sooner, which is usually why a wide board feels soft in the middle under an adult.

Later packages carry the AirFrame XT name, which Body Glove uses for its stiffer construction. Since the item numbers are mixed across the range and all of them are nearly gone, checking which version a specific listing is describing matters more here than with a board still in production.

Weight Limit

Three hundred and twenty pounds (145 kg) is the rating, and it is the specification that most limits what the Performer can do.

• Comfortable paddler weight: up to about 230 lb (105 kg)
• Paddler with a dog or a cooler: workable up to roughly 280 lb (127 kg)
• Two adults: outside the rating

That is the odd thing about this board. Thirty four inches of width is a family shape, but 320 lb is a solo rating. The SamaDally further up this page is the same size and rates 450 lb, which is the specification the shape actually implies.

Intended Use & Riding Characteristics

Eleven feet by thirty four inches is a wide allround board. It is built to be hard to fall off, and it succeeds at that: for a first outing, for a nervous paddler, or for anyone who wants to fish or take photographs from it, the width is the point.

The cost is speed. A 34 in board pushes a lot of water, and the paddle has to reach further out to clear the rail, so an hour on it is more tiring than an hour on a 32 in board covering the same distance.

Three fixed fins hold a line well and remove any risk of losing a fin box, at the cost of a bulkier packed board. For a board that lives in a garage rather than a suitcase, that is a fair trade.

Design

Body Glove is a surf brand licensing its name, and the Performer is styled accordingly: bolder graphics than the average warehouse club board, in a shape that has nothing to do with surfing.

The deck layout is conventional. An EVA pad through the standing area, a central carry handle, and bungee storage at the nose with six attachment points.

Features

• 34 in width, one of the widest boards at this price
• Three fixed rubber fins, nothing to lose or install
• 24 lb board weight, light for the size
• Six point bungee storage at the nose
• Dry bag included, which most packages leave out

Accessory

The package was one of the more complete ones at this price, which is part of why the board sold as well as it did.

• Three piece adjustable aluminium paddle
• Backpack with padded straps
• Hand pump, quoted at eight to twelve minutes
• Leash
• Waterproof dry bag
• Repair kit

The hand pump is the part worth replacing. Eight to twelve minutes is an honest estimate rather than a marketing one, and it is the reason later Performer packages shipped with an electric pump instead.

FAQ

Conclusion

The Performer was a good board for what it was: wide, light for its size, and sold complete at a warehouse club price. If you own one, nothing here suggests you should replace it.

What you cannot do is buy one. Five item numbers, all at or near zero, no listing anywhere else, and no manufacturer to go back to. The SamaDally is the same shape with a far better capacity rating, and it is the board to buy instead.
