The inspiration behind the El Capitan Bomber Edition stems from our desire to honor the bold heritage of the P-51 Mustang. A symbol of courage and dominance in the air, the Mustang carried an aura that demanded respect — and this board channels that same energy on the water.
The striped markings echo its iconic wing patterns, while the oversized tail number references the board’s own dimensions, just as planes displayed their unique identifiers. The artwork isn’t decoration — it’s homage.
Designed with boaters in mind, this board takes everything a step further — from reinforced handles and bungees to ROVER MARINE mounts that let you load up and launch fast. Moving from boat to boat or shore to vessel has never been smoother. The 11'0" Yacht Hopper keeps you gliding in style on any waterway.
When we say Weekend Warrior, we mean the rider chasing early-morning sunrise fishing sessions, paddling out to the kelp beds to slip into the water for spearfishing, or heading off on long-distance expeditions. The El Capitain is the board you load up with weight, gear, and confidence — then get after it.
Take it to the ocean, lake, or river — this all-around inflatable board makes every trip easy. The accessories are spot-on, and the materials and construction meet the highest standards in the industry. You really can’t make it any better. We’ve done the hard part so you can enjoy the water with a board you can trust.
