The Alpha One by SipaBoards is redefining what an electric paddleboard can be. Just like e-bikes transformed cycling, this allrounder model brings power, control, and confidence to the water.
When electric bikes first entered the market, many skeptics raised an eyebrow. A motor on a bicycle seemed unnecessary — until it didn’t. A decade later, e-bikes have reshaped mobility and leisure, empowering users of all ages and fitness levels to ride further, faster, and more often. On the water, a similar shift is happening. And leading that evolution is SipaBoards, the company behind the world’s first electric stand-up paddleboard.
With a decade of innovation behind them, SipaBoards is celebrating its 10th anniversary by launching its most refined and versatile model to date: the Alpha One. Compact, intelligent, and remarkably easy to use, the Alpha One is to paddleboarding what the e-bike is to cycling — a meaningful step forward in how people move, explore, and enjoy the outdoors.
The Alpha One Allrounder Electric is the result of this journey. Its form factor is tuned for a wide range of riders and conditions. The integrated jet system offers up to 6 hours of assisted cruising, helping paddlers maintain speed against wind or fatigue. And the auto-inflation feature removes the barrier of manual pumping entirely — a seemingly simple innovation that dramatically improves the first experience on the water.
Solving the SUP Struggles
Stand-up paddling looks easy in the photos: calm waters, smiling faces, and a scenic horizon. But for many beginners — and even some seasoned users — the actual experience can feel very different. SUP has its share of friction points that too often go unspoken.
The first obstacle is manual inflation. Pumping up a high-volume board can take 10–15 minutes of physically demanding effort — not the most inviting start to a relaxing outing. Then comes the physical challenge of paddling, which might be underestimated by newcomers. Against wind, currents, or fatigue, even a short distance can feel overwhelming, especially without proper technique.
There’s also the uncertainty factor: how far can I go? Will I be able to get back if I get tired? These doubts can quickly turn excitement into anxiety, and can discourage casual users from returning to the sport. In rental or resort settings, where first impressions matter most, this can be a real issue.
The Alpha One addresses all of these barriers in one elegant solution. With its self-inflating system, setup becomes effortless — no sweat, no strain. The board is ready in minutes with just a press of a button. Once on the water, the integrated electric jet drive helps users cruise with confidence, compensating for wind and fatigue, and making return trips less daunting.
By eliminating the common pain points of SUP — effortful pumping, exhausting paddling, and navigational doubt — SipaBoards has not just improved the experience. They’ve fundamentally expanded who can enjoy it. From families and older users to complete beginners, the Alpha One makes stand-up paddling more accessible, more enjoyable, and more inclusive than ever.

A Smart Choice for Rentals and Resorts
Where the Alpha One also truly shines is in shared and commercial environments. The board’s intuitive operation, durable materials, and all-rounder shape make it a favourite among rental providers, resorts, tour operators, and camps. Its internal tech is fully protected and water-cooled, requiring no external cables or controls — making it a low-maintenance, high-impact solution for busy summer operations.
Moreover, SipaBoards offers a digital control platform that allows fleet operators to manage usage and performance more efficiently. Combined with a rugged design and sleek aesthetic, the Alpha One presents itself as a professional-grade e-SUP for both personal and business use.
A New Era of Propulsion
To mark its 10-year milestone, SipaBoards also introduced a completely redesigned electric propulsion system, known as the Sipa Prop. After years of R&D, this new motor boasts a 15% increase in thrust, improved energy efficiency, and better torque control — all packaged in a more compact and serviceable unit.
The Alpha One is the first SipaBoards model to go into regular production with this new prop, making it not only the company’s most user-friendly board, but also the most technologically advanced. It’s a platform built for the next decade of electric paddling.
Built to Last — and Built to Lead
With thousands of electric SUPs already delivered in more than 40 countries, SipaBoards continues to pioneer the category it helped create. The Alpha One is a testament to the team’s vision — offering freedom on the water to more people, in more places, with less effort.
Whether you’re a solo explorer, a first-timer, or a resort looking to upgrade your water fleet, the Alpha One promises the same thing: less hassle, more horizon.
