We reviewed a range of inflatable and solid boards and found options for a variety of needs and budgets between $500 and $1,500 US dollars.

The BIC Sport Ace-Tec Cross-Fish Stand-Up Paddleboard was ranked as the “Best Fishing SUP Under $1,500” and in this article we will review the board in detail to talk about why.

BIC Sport are a world renowned company who need no introduction but we thought it was at least  worth to mention that the 12 foot BIC Sport Cross-Fish board reviewed here is the larger, fishing specific, version of the original and award winning 10 foot and 11 foot BIC Sport boards.

The BIC Sport Cross-Fish SUP is a solid board design which provides increased rigidity and, arguably, superior performance over the inflatable boards albeit at the price of increased weight and difficulty in transportation.

It has a massive 350 pounds weight capacity making this fishing SUP suitable for one or more persons and with ample storage space and capacity for all your fishing tackle and gear.

The BIC Sport has been designed with the following dimensions:

Length: measuring 12 foot in length, this was the longest board in our review.  This was definitely seen as a positive as it provides better stability, paddling performance and increased space for carrying extra people, fishing gear or even your dog!

Width: an ample 35 inches of width provides the stable platform you require to get comfortable when fishing from.

Thickness: we recommend a minimum board thickness of 6 inches for the ideal fishing SUP.  At 6.6” the BIC Sport provides additional buoyancy, rigidity and has the added bonus of keeping your feet dry while paddling or fishing.

Volume: overall, the board has a volume of 350 litres.

To achieve a top-ranked status amongst fishing SUPs, it is important and necessary that the board has been specifically designed for fishing and incorporates useful fishing features. 

We have already talked about how the BIC Sport 12 foot SUP has the right design and stability for fishing from in a variety of water conditions so let’s now take a look at what other fishing features have been incorporated.

The BIC Sport has three integrated tracks which have been carefully located on the boards deck for holding fishing accessories. 

It also has a full-length deck pad which not only provides excellent grip underfoot for the fisherman but also provides a grippy base upon which you can secure a cooler box, fishing box, fishing bag and any other items you wish to take onboard for your fishing trip.

The BIC Sport Cross-Fish is a fishing SUP which has deservedly earned its title of “Best Fishing SUP under $1500.”  It is a solidly built, high performing board which is suitable for novices and advance stand-up paddle board fishermen alike.

If you are looking instead for an inflatable board or feel that the BIC Sport 12 foot is outside your budget range then please take a look at our full article which provides an awesome range of fishing SUPs for all budgets and needs.
