Was about to post it and found that you beat me to it. Bought two of those after trying my friends at the lake last weekend. Loads of fun. We'll see how this one holds but but hey it's Costco so I can return if anything goes wrong.

Does anyone know how this brand compares to the Body Glove SUPs that Costco usually sells?

The Body Glove from Costo is a better board. The build quality of the Performer 11 and the handling on the water is solid. This Hyperlite 10'2' board is under the standard length of most every board made for adults at 10'6" with many mfg's going to 11' like the Body Glove's length.
Note the Body Glove Performer 11 is on sale again at Costco for $319. which is outstanding as it also includes an electric pump. By far, the best board and deal in the sub $800 level. Body Glove went all in on using high quality pump, bag, and especially the paddle.

True but what does Costco do with a used SUP?

Since I've already ordered Hyperlite I'll try those but I think I prefer longer removable fin to 3 short fins on Body Glove. As far as length difference I wonder about real world impact that less than a foot will make. Would be great to try those side by side and decide.

Had both paddleboards last weekend at Lake Tahoe, the body glove is heavier but more stable, when using the hyperlite, the wind easily moved it in comparison. The electric pump with the hyperlite was fast compared to an electric pump I had bought from Amazon (body glove paddleboards didn't come with an electric pump last year) appreciated the deflate option, but overheated when we tried to pump more than one paddleboard (was able to cool down and use it to deflate). Would recommend the Body Glove.

i think this board is thicker and more narrow that the body glove version. so it might maneuver and turn better. if it were my money i would get the body glove, i have the current one and have zero complaints. ill probably upgrade the pump and the paddle soon as they are adequate but leave much to be desired if you go out on the water often.

I can't detect any difference with the BG board vs my longer fin (and two small side fins) of the Skiffo or El Capitan board. The BG makes for a better river board when you get into more shallow water, submerged branches, etc. I was out on the water early this morning to escape the heat and met two new paddlers on the Hyperlite boards and it's a fine looking and tracking board. No wrong choices. There is a advantage difference in stability and speed with a longer board. My 11'6" is very forgiving and needed since I'm 6-2/230 which if smaller, that stability difference may be reduced. Enjoy that new board

Thanks. I have last year's Body Glove 11' Performer. It was great, until it burst from being left in the afternoon sun for a day. Costco told me they'll take it back and Body Glove offered to replace it under warranty. I think I'm going to return it to Costco and purchase their Body Glove Oasis 10' board instead. A smaller board would be easier for my kids to transport. While its three fins are not removable, I like that they are shorter than the HyperLite's single long fin. When using it at the beach I can envision the longer fin getting lodged in the sand in the surf. It says the Oasis is made for yoga, but the only functional difference I can see is that the entire top of the board has the soft grippy foot surface (like a yoga mat).

Thats a very good point for the river. I like a few things on BG one especially integrated gopro mount and them including both electric and manual pump. There could be times where it would be better to hike with the board in the backpack rather than pumping it at the car.

Gotta love Costco and Body Glove's c/s. The downside to a long fin is when you hit a rock or submerged branch/log or whatever, it's a jolt and will toss you off the board. Falling off the board in shallow water or where there is debris is not a good place to be baptized.
