What Happened to Gili Sports Paddle Boards? An Update for Fans (February 2026)

If you have been searching for Gili Sports inflatable paddle boards lately or noticed stock issues and limited updates, you are not alone. Here is a clear, factual summary of the current status based on public information.

Ownership and Operations

Gili Sports, an American-based brand specializing in inflatable stand up paddle boards, accessories, and related gear, has ceased operations. The company is officially out of business as of 2025. The website (gilisports.com) remained partially active for a time with some closeout, pre-owned, and accessory items listed, but full product lines have been unavailable, and customer support appears unresponsive based on community reports.

Current Status

No new products, pre-orders, or restocks are available. The brand did not publicly post an announcement about the closure on their website or social channels at the time.

Customer Notes

Review sites and community forums (including iSUPWorld and SUP-related Reddit/Facebook groups) have noted the shutdown in 2025 updates, with users reporting long-term out-of-stock situations since 2024 and challenges obtaining parts, warranties, or replacements.

If you were hoping to buy, service, or find accessories for a Gili Sports board, unfortunately no official channels remain active. Check second-hand marketplaces (e.g., Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji in Canada) for used items, but verify condition and authenticity.

Sorry if this is disappointing news. Paddle boarding remains an incredible way to enjoy Alberta’s lakes and rivers. For Calgary-area paddlers looking for dependable inflatable SUP rentals, fresh boards every season, or affordable purchases, check out our local options here.

Happy paddling!
