Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board 11'×33''×6''(6'' Thick) Non-Slip Deck with Premium SUP Accessories | Wide Stance, Bottom Fins for Surfing Control | Youth Adults Beginner

I live in Southern California where the weather is geared for paddle boarding all year long. I own several hard-top epoxy boards, mostly 7-foot boards. I paddle at least 4 days a week in the harbor for several years now. I’m always inviting my friends to come out and paddle with me but strapping and hauling a couple of boards on my little compact car was getting frustrating. I looked at different options and my husband recommended that I investigate getting an inflatable. I wanted to get something that was reliable, easy to assemble, with a reasonable price point. Pretty much I wanted a bang for the buck!As a super fan of epoxy and carbon fiber boards, I was determined to find flaws and dislike the ISUP, but after launching it and taking it for a spin, I love it! First, it arrived quickly in a nice compact box. After unwrapping it, I read the instructions which were easy enough to understand and follow. I was so eager to pump it up with the hand pump which took me 20 minutes.I had a specific question after I had pumped it up and immediately sent an email to the seller and they replied immediately with an answer to rest assure that my concern was not a problem at all. I wanted to make sure that the ISUP did not leak so I left it inflated for 2 days underneath a patio (out of the sun). To my surprise, it lost only a little bit of air (5 psi) the day I decided to use it for the first time.I just threw it on top of my car and strapped it to my roof racks so that I did not have to deal with the pumping at the launch site since I already had it inflated. Just my luck, the day I went out it was windy. I parked a block away. Normally with the winds, my other hard boards would be slightly heavier and difficult to carry, but not with this ISUP. It was light enough to carry with no issues. I launched off on my knees and began to stand. Upon standing up I noticed it was not as stable side to side unlike my hard-top board (so those of you who are beginners will have to go through a learning curve to find your balance) but once I got my bearings, I stood up and took off quickly. It glided smoothly and stayed straight through the course. The turning radius on this ISUP was a lot more challenging due to the size and took a lot of effort on my part to crank it make a hard right or left turn. I was able to paddle at a fast speed and stop the board quickly to a halt. This was the first SUP I could lay down flat on my stomach and enjoy just floating. The board never submerged keeping me dry while laying on top of it. Then I flipped myself over and sat up with my legs fully extended out. I was highly impressed that I could keep paddling it like a kayak. It was easy to just continue to stay straight without veering to a particular side. Then I purposely fell off the board and practiced getting back onto the board. The first time was not as easy as I thought it would be because it is a wider and higher (thicker) board than I am used to. After a couple of practices by holding onto the latch in the middle of the board, then pulling myself back up without tipping over the board was simple. I followed a few boats that past by with lingering waves and the board handled it well and I did not feel unstable while rocking and rolling over the waves.When I paddled my board back to the launch site, I saw a father with two young (age 3-5) girls on a similar but different brand ISUP. After telling him it was my first ISUP, we agreed to switched boards so that I could compare. I noticed immediately that his ISUP was noticeably narrower, shorter, and heavier than mine. His daughters both liked the fact mine was wider and felt more stable for them. He admitted that he paid twice as much as mine with the same items in the kit. I could not help but felt like I had scored on my new board!Here are other highlights:It is lightweight – 25 lbs length of a medium-size car like a Nissan Versa. The toughest part of stand up paddle boarding for beginners is after a long paddle session is carrying a heavy hard top board back to the car, which this one is not an issue.You can easily convert it into a kayak after purchasing a separate seat.A bungee system to store gear or towels.Non-slip surface with thick grade material (not easily punctured from a dog with long nails).Durable material with hard use from excess amounts of the paddle scraping the sides of the board or children jumping on it or dinging it against hard surfaces.Comes with instruction and a carry bag that fits all the items (leash, pump, paddle, patch kit, board) for easy compact storage and travel (the length of it is comparable to my medium size 30lb dog).Inflates in less than 20 minutes, deflated in less than 5 minutes.Here are the cons:The hand pump is not for the unhealthy. It might kick your butt as it did mine (a workout before a workout) Just take your time, don’t rush, and you’ll be fine. The last 5 psi will be challenging but keep going until you reach 15 psi otherwise the board will not keep you stable and not recommended to pump higher than that. It took me 20 minutes to inflate (I’m in my mid 40’s) but other reviewers say it took them less time.Must dry everything off well before repacking it back into the carry bag to prevent mold.Helpful Hints:The paddle stick needs to be screwed tighter before 1st use to prevent the handle from moving or twisting while paddling. Also, make sure that the blade of the paddle is facing forward while paddling.When launching off stand on your knees in the middle of the board (where the handle is located) with your knees shoulder-width apart. Then slowly stand up with your feet hip-width apart. Just practice standing up and down a few times before taking off far. Looking straight forward versus downwards helps with your balance.Always rinse your ISUP and paddle with fresh water after each use. Pat dry completely before folding and repacking in case. Do not leave it sitting in the sun for long periods.Remove the grey foam that is covering the little fins and attach the large fin before launching. Then remember to remove the large fin before repacking the board.Watch some YouTube Videos to see proper techniques on paddling – it will truly save you from falling and paddling, especially paddling against the wind. Also understand that LARGE MOVING WATER VEHICLE has the right of way, not SUPs, please allow them to pass you before you continue your path.Conclusion:This ISUP is great for a beginner to start practicing in calm conditions before moving up to a shorter faster board. As far as taking it out into the ocean, you could if you have great balance not recommended as a true beginner for sure. It is definitely not for surfing waves but can ride very small ones.I’m so glad that I bought this ISUP. It will be a great addition to my SUP family for visiting friends and family. The price is so worth the value.

I can't say enough good things about our experience with this inflatable stand-up paddle board! From the moment we unboxed it, we were impressed by its quality and ease of setup. My partner and I were able to fit comfortably on it together, and it was such a joy to sail out towards the sunset. The stability and buoyancy made our adventure not just relaxing but also exciting.What really stood out to us was how versatile this paddle board is. It’s perfect for those long summer days when you want to get out on the water and soak up the sun. The fact that it’s inflatable means it’s super easy to transport and store, which is a huge plus for us. Plus, if you’re fortunate enough to live in California, you’ll find yourself using it all year round. There’s nothing like paddling on calm waters with a view of the coastline and the sun setting in the distance.Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, a fun day out with friends, or just a peaceful solo paddle, this board is ideal. It’s sturdy, reliable, and has quickly become one of our favorite summer activities. If you’ve been on the fence about getting a paddle board, I wholeheartedly recommend this one. It’s a fantastic investment for anyone looking to add a little more adventure and fun to their life on the water.

I ordered a paddle board because I wanted a fun, new active way to enjoy the outdoors during the hot summer months. After ordering this paddle board, it arrived within two days. It is pretty, lightweight, comes with a great storage/transport backpack and paddle, and has everything needed for my first foray into paddle boarding. It easily fits in my small car so the hassle factor is very low. Inflation is straightforward/easy.I recommend this board as it comes with everything you need for a good price.

We bought this last year and used it twice before summer was over. Took it out today on the river like normal, pumped it up to the correct PSI to 13.5. Took it out for a paddle. Brought it back to shore for a break. It literally exploded! We had kids with us and thank God they weren't in the direct way when it exploded. The pressure from the explosion broke a camping chair. It was literally that strong! Do not purchase this item, it is not safe as it is obviously made very cheap.

I have to say, this was a great value for the money. If you're looking for a high-quality SUP board without spending over $400, look no further.I recently joined a local outdoor water activity group and, having used an inflatable kayak, decided to try an SUP like many of my groupmates. Although I considered a more expensive self-inflating SUP, I chose this one because I liked the blue color and the fact that it's designed for beginners like me. The included pump works well, took me 6 mins to pump it full, probably would've took my husband less time. Once inflated, it looked just as good as the more expensive boards used by my groupmates. No leaks or signs of leak. Board is lightweight, making it easy for me to lift it into the water. It’s very sturdy and remains stable on the water, provided you follow the instructions and ensure it is fully inflated. It features an anti-slip deck and a wide body, which makes it very user-friendly for beginners like me. Deflating took less than 5 minutes, and the bag is relatively larger than the folded board, makes it easy to pack away. I was even able to fit two life jackets inside the bag alongside the paddle, footleash and repair kit. Everything's working, nothing arrived broken. I'm happy with the buy:)

È una tavola da favola, per iniziare è perfetta perché è stabile.Realizzata con materiali di buona qualità, l’abbiamo potata sugli scogli in giro per le isole siciliane e NON si è bucata, super resistente e leggera da portare. Ci siamo divertiti molto e una volta gonfiata bene, non ha bisogno di essere rigonfiata.Pompa di buona qualità, si gonfia velocemente ma tenete a mente che non è una pompa elettrica quindi ci vuole un minimo di sforzo fisico.E’ bello andare in piedi Ida soli ma noi ci siamo andati anche in due, mio marito pagaiava e io mi godevo il sole e il panorama.Starci in piedi è facile, è grande abbastanza quindi stare in equilibrio è facile.La suggerisco a tutti coloro che vogliono divertirsi a mare. Noi ne compreremo un altra.

De momento todo perfecto nos la hemos llevado a la playa y no podemos estarmas contentos.

Resistente e non ho trovato difetti. Lo uso in barca e siamo saliti anche in 4 adulti ridendo e giocando.

I bought this for business and it's in quite harsh use few times a day every day, so far has been great, sturdy and good balance, good width, can accommodate up to 3 people, and good looking too :) can't complain so far, hope it will be like this for long time.
