Before I decided on a my own SUP, I researched and compared prices on SUP's on not only Amazon, but also on other shopping sites for a few months. I couldn't decide if I wanted a solid hull or an inflatable. Since this was my first SUP, I decided to go with an inflatable.
An entry level package was the way to go for me, but I didn't want to compromise on quality that I would end up with something that would sink on me in the middle of a lake!
After comparing quality and prices, this particular SUP package caught my eye. The day it was delivered, I took it out of the box and inflated it in my living room. Once I had the pump fixture figured out, it worked perfectly. I was able to inflate the board in about five minutes with moderate effort. The board was rigid and sturdy. The material looks well put together, and it's much like a pool liner only much thicker. I was able to attach the fins easily and take them off. They seemed to be sturdy as well.
I also appreciated that this SUP came with a waterproof phone case, a leash, a backpack to carry the board in and a repair kit. It's the perfect entry level package.
For its maiden voyage, I took it out to a large pond with my 8 year old son sitting cross-legged near the bow. Although it felt tippy at first once I found my balance, it was perfect! We never tipped the entire time I took my son for a ride. I was able to maneuver the board easily. We loved it from our first ride!
