Quick Answer: Costco’s paddle board selection isn’t just Wavestorm and Body Glove — those are simply the two brands independent reviews mention most. As of this review, Costco also carries the Jimmy Styks 11’ Puffer, the Tobin Sports Endeavor Elite 11’2” (353 lb capacity, the highest of any inflatable covered here), the California Board Company 10’6” Hydro (hard foam with a built-in storage compartment, about $529), and two Scott Burke composite hard boards (about $399.97-$499.97). Per Costco’s own product pages, availability rotates by warehouse and season — several of these listings show “Unavailable” online right now, which is normal inventory churn, not discontinuation.
Search “Costco paddle board” and most of what comes back centers on two names: the hard-foam Wavestorm and the inflatable Body Glove Performer. Both are real, both are covered in their own dedicated reviews on this site — but a direct WebFetch of costco.com’s paddle board category this month turned up four more distinct brands that almost never show up in “Costco SUP” roundups: Jimmy Styks, Tobin Sports, California Board Company, and Scott Burke. That’s the actual gap this review fills — not another Wavestorm-vs-Body-Glove writeup, but the full current lineup, sourced directly from Costco’s own listings.

1. Body Glove Performer 11’ — Most Consistently Restocked
Body Glove Performer 11' Inflatable Paddle Board Package
- ClearTek drop-stitch construction, 320 lb max capacity, per Costco's own product listing — the widest independent review footprint of any board in this lineup, with slickdeals price-tracking threads going back multiple seasons.
- Ships as a complete kit: electric pump, 3-piece paddle, and travel bag. The newer "GTS" version adds a redesigned fin setup Body Glove markets for improved tracking.
- Price swings hard with warehouse-club sale cycles — tracked as low as $199.99 and as high as $399.99 list, per multiple slickdeals postings. See our full Body Glove paddle board review for the Oasis 10' and Tandem 15' siblings.

The Performer 11’ is the board most “Costco paddle board” searches actually mean, and for good reason: it’s been in and out of Costco’s rotation for several seasons, which means it has more independent price history and owner feedback than anything else on this list. The catch, as with every board here, is that the price you see today isn’t the price you’ll see in a month — check the current listing before assuming last quarter’s deal price still applies.
2. Tobin Sports Endeavor Elite — Highest Capacity Inflatable Here
Tobin Sports Endeavor Elite 11'2" Inflatable Paddle Board Package
- 353 lb maximum capacity, per Tobin Sports' own Costco listing — the highest rating of any inflatable in this roundup, ahead of Body Glove's Performer (320 lb).
- Tritech triple-layer reinforcement stringer construction, a non-slip diamond traction pad with a kick pad, and a PowerGrip DC electric air pump, adjustable paddle, coiled leash, backpack, repair kit, and three removable fins all included.
- Tracked price history via warehouserunner and slickdeals shows a $339.99 list price discounted as low as $249.97 during sale windows — currently listed "Unavailable" on costco.com, which reflects warehouse rotation rather than discontinuation.
If capacity is your deciding factor and you want an inflatable rather than a hard board, the Endeavor Elite’s 353 lb rating is the highest in Costco’s current inflatable lineup — a real edge over the Performer 11’ for heavier paddlers or anyone carrying extra gear. The triple-layer stringer construction is also a genuine step up from the single-layer budget boards covered in our best budget paddle board guide.
3. Jimmy Styks 11’ Puffer — Widest Retailer Network
Jimmy Styks 11' Inflatable Puffer Stand Up Paddleboard
- Complete kit: adjustable paddle, dual-action high-pressure pump, coiled leash, click-n-go standard fin, premium board bag, and repair kit, per Costco's own listing.
- Unlike the other boards here, Jimmy Styks doesn't sell mainly through Costco — it's also stocked at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Walmart, and Al's Sporting Goods, with a documented $100 price gap on the identical board between two of those retailers. Full breakdown in our Jimmy Styks paddle board review.
- Backed by a 365-day manufacturing-defect warranty, longer than the standard 1-year coverage on several budget boards covered elsewhere on this site.
4. California Board Company 10’6” Hydro — Hard Board With Built-In Storage
California Board Company 10'6" Hydro Foam Stand Up Paddle Board
- EPS foam core with a built-in water-resistant storage compartment — a feature none of the other hard boards in this review (Wavestorm, Scott Burke) include, per Costco's own product page.
- Ships with an adjustable aluminum floating paddle with a Blade Shield, a center tracking fin, and a double-swivel ankle leash. Bungee straps and a center carry handle round out the deck layout.
- At about $529, it's priced meaningfully above the Wavestorm's $350-$499.99 range for a smaller size (10'6" vs Wavestorm's available up to larger sizes) — the storage compartment is the feature you're paying the premium for, not extra capacity or a stiffer build.
5. Scott Burke Composite & Pioneer Foam — Costco’s Only Fiberglass Option
Scott Burke 10'6" Composite / Atlantic Composite Stand-Up Paddle Board
- The only fiberglass-composite hard board in Costco's current lineup — an EPS foam core wrapped in two layers of fiberglass, compressed under epoxy resin, versus the bare EPS foam of the Wavestorm or California Board Company boards.
- Includes an adjustable hybrid carbon-fiber paddle with a blade shield, a universal camera mount, and a board bag with the Scott Burke logo.
- Costco also lists a budget Scott Burke SUP-10' Pioneer foam package at roughly $399.97 — a lower-cost, foam-core alternative under the same brand name if the composite model's about $499.97 price is out of range.
Fiberglass composite construction is a genuine step up in stiffness over EPS foam alone, and Scott Burke is the only brand in Costco’s current lineup building that way — worth the premium if you want hard-board performance closer to a surf shop’s epoxy longboards than to a Wavestorm.
Costco paddle boards by the numbers
- 353 lb — the Tobin Sports Endeavor Elite’s stated weight capacity, the highest of any inflatable in Costco’s current lineup, per Tobin Sports’ own Costco listing.
- 6 — the number of distinct paddle board brands found across Costco’s warehouse and online listings in this review: Wavestorm, Body Glove, Jimmy Styks, Tobin Sports, California Board Company, and Scott Burke.
- $199.99-$529 — the full price spread across Costco’s current SUP lineup, from the Body Glove Performer 11’ at its lowest tracked sale price up to the California Board Company Hydro’s list price.
Who should buy which Costco paddle board
- Want the most-reviewed, most-restocked option: Body Glove Performer 11’ — the widest independent review base and price history of anything on this list.
- Need the highest weight capacity in an inflatable: Tobin Sports Endeavor Elite (353 lb) beats the Performer’s 320 lb rating.
- Want a hard board with built-in storage: California Board Company 10’6” Hydro.
- Want the stiffest hard-board ride Costco sells: Scott Burke’s fiberglass composite model, the only non-foam hard board in the lineup.
- Cheapest entry point overall, have roof-rack storage: see our full Wavestorm paddle board review — Costco’s own house-brand foam board.
- Want a name not tied to warehouse-club rotation at all: our best paddle board brands roundup covers eight direct-to-consumer SUP makers with fixed, year-round pricing.
- Curious how Walmart’s selection compares: our Walmart paddle board roundup covers a very different mix — a couple of directly-stocked names plus a long tail of marketplace-only brands, unlike Costco’s rotating full-line selection.
- Want touring-grade construction over warehouse-club value: our REI paddle board roundup covers a pricier, specialty-brand lineup (NRS, TAHE, POP Board Co.) that starts around $699 — nothing Costco stocks gets that specialized.
The bottom line
Costco’s paddle board shelf is bigger than the Wavestorm-and-Body-Glove shorthand most reviews use — this month alone it spans six brands, from budget foam boards to a 353 lb-rated inflatable to Costco’s only fiberglass composite hard board. The real thing to plan around isn’t which brand is “best” in the abstract, it’s that Costco’s SUP catalog rotates by warehouse and season: a board that’s “Unavailable” on costco.com today may be back next month, and a board you love today may not restock at all. Cross-check the current listing before you drive to a warehouse, and don’t assume last season’s price still holds.
