During this review, you will see how it\u2019s extremely lightweight and small carrying bag makes it ideal for travel on planes or anywhere space is an issue. Again, like the standard compact, this board is fairly stable considering it\u2019s overall size and volume. Larger reviewers (225lbs) were able to comfortably paddle this board at length. Combine that with the Nixy Sports kit and you have a definitive winner for the price.

That being said, we really like Ultra Compact for its commitment to the ultra compact design philosophy. This board is truly our go to for travel for it\u2019s lightweight and minimal size. <\/p>\n<p>Thankfully this board also did great with larger paddlers as well (225lbs) which is something we wouldn\u2019t expect in such a purpose driven compact. Obviously Nixy Sports included their industry best kit components making this board even more of a great deal. <\/p>\n<h3>Stability Rating: 8.6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>The Nixy Sports Huntington G4 9\u20196&#8221; Ultra Compact is very stable. No falls this year, and even our larger reviewers had no problem maintaining their balance. This is really incredible considering the overall mass of the board itself. Being an ultra compact we usually expect their limits to be well under 200lbs. As always, stability is probably the most important factor when selecting a board for a beginner. Being stable up to 225 lbs makes this a very versatile board. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Weight Capacity:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tested Capacity: 225 lbs<\/p>\n<p>For us weight capacity is more than the measurement of what it takes to \u201csink\u201d a paddle board.<br \/>\nWeight capacity is an important characteristic of a paddle board that is especially important when selecting an iSUP for yourself or for a general group of people. Our tests go so far as to say what is the limit we can reach while still paddling relatively normally. <\/p>\n<p>The Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact did very well considering it\u2019s overall compact nature. Heavier paddlers (200+ lbs) will need to limit what they are taking with them, but with it\u2019s focus on compactness and travel, we don\u2019t think that\u2019s too big of a problem. This board is a great choice regardless of your size, to hike into and paddle some hidden gems of lakes. <\/p>\n<h3>Speed Test: 8.3\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image4.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Speed Test\" width=\"924\" height=\"1999\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10695\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/image14.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Speed Test\" width=\"924\" height=\"1999\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10694\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Hunting G4 Ultra Compact did reasonably well in our speed tests. It\u2019s overall light mass made it really easy to get up to speed (acceleration), but it\u2019s wider and shorter shape does make it slower than a touring supboard, which is to be expected. Our tests showed the board to be just VERY slightly slower than the single fin version, but over longer tests we think the improved tracking of the twin fin would make up for the lack of speed.<\/p>\n<h3>Tracking: 8.5\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Dual-Fins.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Dual Fins\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10695\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Dual-Fin-Setup.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Dual Fin Setup\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10694\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact tracked much better than we anticipated. We will credit the two fin setup for bringing this score up as high as it is. This is not the first time we have seen dual fin setup used before with positive results (we do think it\u2019s important to note that Red Paddle Co first adopted this with their Compact range, and our guess is that NIXY is following suit here and will update the post if we find out otherwise). <\/p>\n<p>We have a feeling this is going to be the  \u201cgo to\u201d fin setup for ultra compacts, as it allows the board to be folded along its centerline before being rolled or folded while still providing great tracking.<\/p>\n<h3>Maneuverability: 9.5\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Step-Back-Turn.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Step Back Turn\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10695\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Back-Step-Turn.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Back Step Turn\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10694\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The lightweight Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact is extremely maneuverable. It was easy to turn and guide in any way that we wanted. As we used more advanced turning techniques this board really shined as an agile platform. We would say this board is perfect for exploring never before paddled lakes, and creeks. It&#8217;s agile enough to get you out of most situations while being stable enough to allow you to enjoy the scenery. That is a must have feature for an adventure travel iSUP. <\/p>\n<h3>Construction Quality: 9.2\/10<\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Rear-Cargo.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Rear Cargo\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10697\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Glide-1.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Glide\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10696\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Nose-of-Board-1.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Nose of Board \" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10699\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Split-Deck-Pad.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Split Deck Pad\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10698\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This year&#8217;s lineup of iSUPs from Nixy Sports has been nothing less than excellent. The Huntington G4 Ultra Compact follows that same story using the dual layer woven drop stitch technology to its maximum benefit. All together the board appears very solid and well built with no real defects in any of the common areas. The mounting points and attachment pieces are all well made and sturdy so now worries about them either. We feel that the Nixy Sports lineup really exudes quality at all points of our testing process. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Board Stiffness:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\nStiffness Test: 1.0625 inches Bend (board on top of saw horses placed 7\u2019 apart, with 150 lbs of weight added right by handle in middle of the board)<\/p>\n<p>We use the stiffness test to efficiently and repeatedly measure the amount of flex a board has. In essence this gives us an idea of how well the board can respond when forces try to bend its shape. The Huntington G4 Ultra Compact did well in the test with a minimal bend. It lands squarely in the middle of the pack for the boards we\u2019ve tested in this manner and that\u2019s especially impressive because this is an ULTRA LIGHT compact style board. Usually flex and stability go out the window in an effort to preserve the light weightness and small packaging outline. Not so with this board. We are still on the fence about \u201ccarbon fiber\u201d being of any use to an iSUP, however we will say the additional layer it provides may have some effect on the stiffness of a board. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/NIXY-Ultra-Compact\" class=\"large radius otw-button\" style=\"background-color: #3b5998;\" target=\"_blank\">Check Prices<\/a>\n<h3>Features\/Accessory Review: 9.6\/10<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Accessories.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Accessories\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10689\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Front-Cargo.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Front Cargo\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10688\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-D-Rings.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 D Rings\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10687\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Features:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact shares almost all of the features of it\u2019s sibling. The defining difference is that the Ultra Compact is designed to be folded on its centerline before being rolled up for storage. That means you lose anything that would otherwise be set centered on the board. Dual fins replace a single piece, as well as the handle, D-ring mounts, and accessory mounts also move to accommodate this additional fold. <\/p>\n<p>So what does this fold give you in return? Glad you asked. This iSUP can be condensed to a bag 26\u201d high, 20\u201d wide and 11.5\u201d thick. That includes the paddle, and pump! You should have no problem transporting this anywhere your adventure takes you. In addition to this stand out feature the Hunting G4 Ultra Compact also comes with 14 D-rings, 3 action mounts, 3 handles, and a removable front and rear bungee system. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Included Accessories:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Nixy Sports \u201ckit\u201d package is still our favorite on the market today. Without going into detail on specific pieces of equipment, see below, this setup is sure to impress. The Nixy Huntington G4 Ultra Compact come with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nixy G4 carbon fiber hybrid paddle<\/li>\n<li>Nixy G4 typhoon hand pump<\/li>\n<li>Nixy G4 backpack<\/li>\n<li>Nixy hybrid leash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Again, we will dive into most of those pieces separately below. The takeaway should be that it\u2019s an impressive kit for a paddleboard in this price range. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Paddle:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Carbon-Paddle-1.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Carbon-Paddle\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10688\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Paddling.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Paddling\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10687\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Nixy Sports G4 Carbon fiber hybrid FOUR piece paddle is just amazing. It has everything we love about the rest of the Nixy G4 paddles and adds an additional removable section to make fitting into the smaller bag possible. The same quality and firm connection are still present and again, if we didn\u2019t know any better, we would think they sent us an upgraded paddle to test with the kit. Our only point of concern is that the handle is made of plastic and it feels slightly out of place with the rest of the paddles&#8217; fine craftsmanship. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Pump:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Dual-Chamber-Pump.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra Compact G4 Dual Chamber Pump\" width=\"850\" height=\"579\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10706\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The two chamber, 3 stage pump is a great addition to the kit. We really like these pumps as they tend to eliminate the hassle of trying to get the last few PSI into a board if your a smaller or lighter paddler. Like gears on a bicycle, this pump makes it easy to fully inflate your iSUP regardless of your size.<\/p>\n<p>Another unique feature of this pump is that it is somewhat collapsible. The feet fold up and the handles are removable giving it a more cylindrical storage shape. This is good for when you&#8217;re packing it all up. The pump serves as the center of the paddle board as it\u2019s rolled up.<\/p>\n<p>As always we will never not recommend getting an electric pump. Nixy Sports sells one and it\u2019s fairly good. Once you have the benefit of not pumping up a board manually, you will see why we always recommend them. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Bag:<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Nixy-Huntington-Ultra-Compact-G4-Ultra-Compact-Bag.jpg\" alt=\"Nixy Huntington Ultra-Compact G4 Ultra Compact Bag\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10705\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most standard iSUP bags are quite bulky, and while not necessarily heavy, they are just awkward to move around. The Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact comes with a much smaller bag and is designed to fit and go places where most other iSUP\u2019s can\u2019t. To be honest that\u2019s a huge feature when compared to most other kits. It\u2019s easy to carry and much more comfortable than larger iSUP backpacks. <\/p>\n<p>In terms of bag features, besides it\u2019s size, it has the standard padded shoulder pads and back pad, as well as the waist belt for additional stability and comfort. Molly loops on either side make attaching additional gear via carabiner a breeze. While two side mesh pockets can hold some small water bottles. The rear of the pack has a zippered pocket good for the fins or other necessities, as well as a Bungee system for anything else that may not fit inside. <\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h4>Optional Accessories<\/h4>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nixy Sports has some great accessories. As much as we love the kit paddles they make carbon fiber paddles that are even more amazing. That combined with their electric pump and portable battery, you are guaranteed to find something that will add significant value to your paddling experience. Here are some of our favorites:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nixy Pro Carbon Paddle(s)<\/li>\n<li>Nixy Ventus Paddle Board Electric Pump<\/li>\n<li>Nixy Premium SUP Kayak Seat<\/li>\n<li>Nixy SUP carry sling<\/li>\n<li>Nixy Navigation Lights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Summary Review of the Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact (2021 model)<\/h2>\n<p>We are really impressed with the Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact. They really took the \u201ccompact\u201d idea to the next level with their board design and the bag. The only other brands and boards we see with this dedication cost twice as much. We are again impressed with the overall quality of the board itself as well as Nixy Sports amazing kit pieces. This board is not only a great value but it should be at the top of your list if you plan on traveling far and wide with your iSUP. <\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed this review of the Nixy Sports Huntington G4 Ultra Compact.
