Diablo Paddlesports – Hybrid Stand-up Paddle Kayaks
Diablo Paddlesports carries three models of their hybrid stand-up paddleboard (SUP) kayaks: The Amigo, The Adios, and The Chupacabra. These SUP-yaks were designed by Texans to float and manuever in the shallowest water, while still being comfortable and stable enough to stand up and paddle.
The SUP-yak is a hybrid of two great traditions: stand-up paddleboard surfing, and kayaking. Diablo believes its unique design offers the best of both worlds without sacrificing the joys of either. Diablo kayaks are thinner and wider, like a SUP board, but still has all the features of a kayak, like dry storage, wet storage, paddle, rod and drink holders, plus a comfortable seat.
The Adios
The Adios combines the best characteristics of a kayak and a stand-up paddleboard, plus unique features like a wider body for easier balance and more stability when sitting and standing. A custom designed pull-leash for easy standing, and a larger cockpit than traditional kayaks and plenty of added room. The wider design and tri-hull make this model great for paddling or stand-up fishing on rivers, streams, lakes or open water.

The Amigo
The Amigo is the twin of the Adios, just slightly bigger and roto-molded. It has molded-in tracks to secure the Larry chair, and includes a pull-up leash for easier standing. Plus a larger cockpit than traditional kayaks and plenty of added room. The tri-hull and wider design make this model a true “one of a kind” on the water. Perfect for paddling or stand up fishing on lakes, rivers, streams or open bodies of water.

The custom pull-up leash makes it easy to transition from sitting to standing, and there’s plenty of room for comfort and storage.
