The SCHEELS 11 ft Seeker is a house board. It exists in SCHEELS stores and on the SCHEELS site, and nowhere else.

That is the whole reason this page exists. If you do not live near one of their stores, the board you have been reading about is not something you can simply order.

Below is what the Seeker actually is, at 299 dollars, followed by four boards that do the same job and ship anywhere.

Availability: the Seeker is a SCHEELS exclusive under SKU 817116-110ISK25LG. It is in stock as we write this, but it is not sold through any other retailer. More boards in this class are in our allround board ranking.

What SCHEELS sells today

SCHEELS runs the Seeker as its own paddle board line rather than stocking somebody else’s entry board, and in August 2026 the 11 ft version is the one on the site.

  • SCHEELS 11 ft Seeker, 299.00 dollars: 11 ft by 33 in by 6 in, rated to 275 lb, a 21 lb board, inflated to between 12 and 15 PSI. The package is a three piece paddle, a travel bag, an 8 in ankle leash, a hand pump, a removable fin and a repair kit.
  • Status: available to ship, with free delivery quoted at a few days out and a handful of customer reviews on the listing.
  • Where it comes from: one of the two SCHEELS product URLs for this SKU carries BOTE in the path, which points at a co-branded build rather than an anonymous factory board. The product page itself does not name a manufacturer.

What SCHEELS does not do is ship the Seeker through anyone else. There is no Amazon listing, no other retailer, and no way to compare prices, which is why the four boards below matter even when the Seeker is in stock.

Better alternatives to the SCHEELS Seeker

All four are complete packages around the Seeker’s 299 dollars, all four ship anywhere, and the first is the closest match to its 11 ft outline.

1. iTAOSTAR Lead L03D 11 ft

The Seeker is an 11 ft allround board with a 33 in waist, and this is the same shape from a seller you can order from tonight.

  • Size11 ft x 33 in
  • Capacity410 lb
  • Fins5 removable, 3 centre and 2 side
  • Warranty3 years

Best for: Paddlers who want one board for lake, river and light chop.

Eleven by thirty three inches is the middle ground most riders end up on: stable enough for a beginner, narrow enough to keep moving. iTAOSTAR adds a five fin set and a 100 L backpack.

Strengths

  • 410 lb capacity
  • Five fins to match conditions
  • Complete kit with 100 L backpack

Weaknesses

  • Five fins sound better than they paddle, most people use three

It gives up nothing in shape and it is not tied to a shop with a fixed footprint, which is the only real complaint anyone can level at the Seeker.

2. Roc 10 ft 6 Paddle Board

If the 299 dollars was the ceiling rather than the target, the shorter Roc does the beginner job for less and carries more.

  • Size10 ft 6 x 33 in
  • Capacity350 lb
  • In the boxPaddle, pump, leash, backpack
  • Warranty3 years

Best for: A first board for calm lakes and slow rivers.

Roc sells more boards on Amazon than any other budget brand, and the reason is visible in the package: board, paddle, pump, leash and backpack for the price other brands charge for the board alone. The 10 ft 6 by 33 in outline is the classic all round shape.

Strengths

  • Complete kit, nothing to buy twice
  • 350 lb capacity
  • Three year warranty from a US seller

Weaknesses

  • The aluminium paddle is the part most owners replace first

Ten foot six is shorter, so it turns more easily and glides less. For a first season on flat water that trade is usually the right way round.

3. SamaDally 11 ft x 34 in Paddle Board

The one number the Seeker is weak on is capacity. Two hundred and seventy five pounds covers a single adult and very little else.

  • 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 and 34 in of width is a different category of board: a family platform rather than a personal one, at roughly the same money.

4. Entroffy 11 ft 6 Paddle Board

And if you already suspect you will be paddling further than the bay, buy the length now rather than in year two.

  • 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 inches of extra length does not sound like much until you paddle into wind with it. It holds a line where an 11 ft board starts wandering.

How did the SCHEELS Seeker change over time?

The Seeker is a recent line rather than a board with a long history, and the SKU itself carries the year. There are two things worth knowing.

  • The SKU is dated: 817116-110ISK25LG reads as an 11 ft Seeker from the 25 model year, which means SCHEELS refreshes the line by season rather than carrying one permanent version.
  • Two product paths, one SKU: the same SKU resolves under a plain SCHEELS URL and under one containing BOTE, which suggests the co-branding was either added or dropped at some point in the line’s life.

Pro & Con

Pros

  • Complete package at 299 dollars, nothing else to buy
  • Light at 21 lb, easy to carry to the water alone
  • 11 ft by 33 in is a sensible allround shape
  • Six inch thickness, the stiffer of the two common builds
  • Sold by a retailer with physical stores and returns counters

Cons

  • 275 lb capacity is low for an 11 ft board
  • Available from one retailer only, so no price comparison
  • Hand pump rather than an electric one
  • The manufacturer is not named on the product page
  • Only a handful of customer reviews to go on

Built & Material

The Seeker is a 6 in thick inflatable running between 12 and 15 PSI, which puts it in the standard modern class rather than the thin 4 in boards that sag under a heavier paddler.

SCHEELS does not specify the laminate on the product page, so how many layers of PVC sit over the drop stitch core is not stated. At 21 lb for an 11 ft board, the weight points at a single layer construction rather than a double layer one, because double layer boards of this size usually land nearer 25 lb.

That is not a fault at this price. It does mean the board will feel softer under a heavy load than a Cressi or a Bluefin, and it lines up with the modest 275 lb rating.

Weight Limit

Two hundred and seventy five pounds (125 kg) is the rated maximum, and on an 11 ft board that is the number that most limits what the Seeker can be used for.

  • Comfortable paddler weight: up to about 200 lb (90 kg)
  • Paddler plus a dog or a cool box: workable up to roughly 230 lb (105 kg) combined
  • Two adults: not what this board is for

Boards of the same length from other brands routinely rate 400 to 450 lb, so if you expect a passenger, the SamaDally further up this page is the more honest buy.

Intended Use & Riding Characteristics

Eleven feet by thirty three inches is the middle of the allround class. It is long enough to track reasonably across a lake and narrow enough to move at a sensible pace, without being either a beginner raft or a touring board.

A single removable fin sits underneath. That is enough for flat water and light chop, and less directional than the three fin setups on most boards at this price, so expect to correct your line slightly more often.

At 21 lb it is one of the lighter 11 ft boards, which matters more than most specs. A board that can be carried inflated from the car to the water gets used; one that has to be deflated every time does not.

Design

The Seeker looks like what it is: a retailer’s own board, styled to sit quietly next to the branded boards on the same shop floor rather than to shout at them.

The layout is conventional and none the worse for it. A central carry handle, a deck pad across the standing area, bungee storage at the nose and a leash D-ring at the tail.

Features

  • 6 in thickness at 12 to 15 PSI, the stiffer of the two common inflatable builds
  • Removable fin, so the board packs flat
  • 21 lb board weight, light for 11 ft
  • Travel bag included rather than sold separately
  • Retail backing: a physical returns counter, which no marketplace board offers

Accessory

The package covers everything needed for a first day out, with one omission worth planning for.

  • Three piece adjustable paddle
  • Hand pump
  • Travel bag
  • 8 in ankle leash
  • Removable centre fin
  • Repair kit

The pump is a hand pump. Getting an 11 ft board to 15 PSI by hand takes real effort, and an electric pump is the first accessory most owners of a board like this end up buying.

FAQ

Who makes the SCHEELS Seeker paddle board?

SCHEELS sells it as its own brand and does not name a manufacturer on the product page. One of the two product URLs for the same SKU contains BOTE, which points at a co-branded build, but SCHEELS does not state this in the listing itself.

How much is the SCHEELS Seeker paddle board?

It is 299.00 dollars for the complete package: board, three piece paddle, hand pump, travel bag, ankle leash, removable fin and repair kit. That is the price on the SCHEELS site as of August 2026.

Can I buy the SCHEELS Seeker anywhere else?

No. It is a SCHEELS exclusive under SKU 817116-110ISK25LG, with no Amazon listing and no other retailer carrying it. If you are not near a SCHEELS store or willing to order from their site, one of the alternatives above is the practical route.

Is the SCHEELS Seeker good for a bigger paddler?

Only up to a point. The rated capacity is 275 lb, which is low for an 11 ft board, and we would keep the paddler under roughly 200 lb for comfortable paddling. Boards of the same length from other brands rate 400 to 450 lb.

Conclusion

The Seeker is a decent, honest allround board at a fair price. Eleven feet by thirty three inches, 6 in thick, 21 lb, complete kit, 299 dollars. Nothing about it is a mistake.

Its two real weaknesses are the 275 lb rating, which is thin for the length, and the fact that one retailer controls whether you can buy it at all. If you live near a SCHEELS and the capacity suits you, buy it. If either of those is a problem, the iTAOSTAR covers the same shape and the SamaDally covers the capacity, both at the same money.
