Key Features
  • Premium Accessories Included: Every Malibu G5 comes with a carbon-hybrid adjustable paddle, coiled leash, dual-chamber pump, repair kit, and wheeled bag—everything you need to hit the water the same day.
  • Ultra-stiff performance construction: Woven drop-stitch PVC creates a lighter, stronger core that improves glide and responsiveness. Welded seams add long-term durability and help prevent air leaks through intense use.
  • Carbon stringers + carbon rails: Reinforced carbon fiber stringers run along the top and bottom for maximum rigidity. Carbon rails boost side-to-side stiffness and improve turning control, especially during sprint starts and buoy turns.
  • Built for speed and efficiency: The 14′ × 28″ outline gives paddlers a narrow, fast platform that cuts through water with minimal resistance. Ideal for racing, distance touring, and fitness paddling.
  • Race-tuned deck features: A raised kick pad increases control during step-back turns, while the non-slip EVA deck pad provides comfort and grip during long sessions.
  • High-pressure performance: Inflates up to 15 PSI for optimal rigidity, helping the Malibu feel closer to a hardboard than a traditional inflatable SUP.
  • Travel-ready portability: Despite its race construction, the Malibu packs easily into a compact wheeled bag. Fast to inflate, easy to carry, and simple to store—perfect for racers and fitness paddlers on the go.

Good to know

What is the Malibu G5 designed for?

The Malibu G5 is NIXY's race and performance board, 14' long and 28" wide with a streamlined profile built for speed, glide, and tracking. It's designed for racers, fitness paddlers training for speed, distance paddling, and experienced paddlers who want maximum efficiency per stroke. It's not built for beginners.

Is the Malibu G5 good for beginners?

No. The Malibu is the most technical board in our lineup. The 28" beam is narrower than our all-around boards, making it faster but less forgiving for new paddlers. Beginners should start with the Newport (33") or Venice (34") to build paddle technique, then upgrade to the Malibu once you're comfortable balancing.

How fast can the Malibu G5 go?

The Malibu's 14' length, 28" beam, and reinforced carbon fiber rails and stringers minimize drag. Each stroke covers more distance than on an all-around shape. Real speed depends on paddler fitness, conditions, and technique, but the Malibu is engineered to outpace any other NIXY board.

What is the weight capacity of the Malibu G5?

The Malibu G5 supports up to 330 lbs (150 kg) total. The race-shape hull is optimized for performance, not gear hauling, so the practical sweet spot is a paddler with minimal gear. For heavy loads, tandem paddling, or touring, the Monterey G5 (400 lb capacity) is a better choice.

Can the Malibu G5 enter SUP races?

Yes. The Malibu meets standard 14' class race specifications for most amateur SUP race events. The board is built for speed in flat water and light chop. Check your specific race's class rules (board length, beam, weight limits) before registering to confirm fit.

How is the Malibu G5 constructed?

The Malibu uses advanced welded seams, dual-layer FusionTech construction, carbon fiber reinforced rails and stringers, and a laminated woven drop-stitch core. The carbon fiber stiffens the hull (less flex means more energy transfer to forward motion), and the raised kick pad helps with sharper race-style turns. Inflates to 15 PSI.
