The Mistral brand has been synonymous with windsurfing since the very early days. ‘Mr Windsurf’ himself, Robby Naish, was sponsored by them for many years; lending considerable weight to their watersports pedigree.

In 2012 the ‘big M’ adopted SUP as their next big thing and produced a line of great looking SUP sticks inlcuding the M1 iSUP range.

It’s no secret that inflatable boards have been slowing gaining popularity and in true Mistral style the company decided to adapt their popular ‘one design’ class and produced the M1 inflatable race SUP.

I managed to get hold of the 14ft version and Adventure Sports published the M1 review. Check it out to see how it fared.
