I have been using the SUP for several years, and now I exactly know all advantages and disadvantages of the inflatable boards. I think that there are more advantages of using these boards. But I believe it is important to tell about positive and negative sides before buying a paddleboard.

I had Nash 12’6’’ board with a leaky seam (yeah, i’m out of luck), and so I bought this one as a replacement. I am really impressed with the inflatable boards lately. The pump is nice. I didn’t like the previous pump but this one is great. The board can be easily transported in my backpack. It is very convenient. Its straps are thick and nice. As to the track, I cant tell the difference if I compare it with my 3 fin design. Stability is good. I never felt the board unstable or low. I have been using this board for many times, and I am really happy with it. It still works great even if my wife and I stand on it, and it does not matter what water is: ocean with waves or still lake. If I want to use it both, I just inflate it to the maximal level. The board is rigid and stable due to three fins. When I was on the water, it was choppy due to skies, and some boats passing by, but I was still standing comfortably. The pump works well due to 2 rubber rings in the air socket. One of it will keep the valve fully sealed while you hit 10+ psi. Reaching 13 psi takes about 10 minutes. If I use the board alone, I don’t need 15 psi. It comes with a dry bag which is great. This construction is rather light, simple, and comfortable. You will quickly recover if you fall. It is black and I have added a bright color for a good visibility. The bag is really nice. But its shoulder straps as well as waist belt could be better because I get tired after carrying the board and the pump in 10 minutes. The bungee cords and leash are great. There are 6 cords instead of 4. To sum up, I am happy with this product. I spend a lot of time in search of appropriate and good paddle board. I read all reviews and watched videos. Cons: In general, this board is worth its cost. Within 2 years I got 3 inflatable boards. I like this sport, and I have tried different boards and I know what board is the best considering a price range (I bought mine at $319 before shipment). I’d like to share a list of reasons to choose this board: The inflatable quality brings safety. It means that you will not drop or break it. The material is rather thick, and it will stand any rocks on water
Finally, I can surely say that it is the best board I own (and I know what is what). It will be good for 2 or 1 person. It is rigid and floatable. It is equipped with additional things that are really pleasant (the leash and 2-way pump). The price of this SUP is fair, and the quality is great. I haven’t used this boards and I was wondering about its surface. I tried it several times, and I now really like this material. I put it on the straps on the roof, and then it had the dented spots on it. But it was not permanent. In water these spots disappeared. The board is really comfortable, not slippery. The paddle is of high quality. I really recommend this product at a reasonable cost. I got it in a well-packed box, without any damages. My wife bought 10.5′ PEAK by Isle and this board is larger – the width and its bag. We tested them and it was good. So we went to the lake the next day. The inflation at 15 psi was not very simple. It was rather firm at the 7, but I kept it till 15, and it was right to the point. We paddled in the lake within an hour, and we did not have any troubles. Its track was nice, and I even fell once but the things on the board were still there. I weigh 240lbs, and my height is 6’3’’, and the board is slightly shorter. My wife’s paddle was longer. The only trouble with the board is length but I am very tall. This board is very stable than my wife’s. It is wider, and so it helps to stay more rigid. My wife also rides it and likes it more. I rent an epoxy board before I bought this product. I have conducted a lot of researches and I found out that a high-quality inflatable board is more comfortable and corresponds to my needs (I don’t have enough space to store epoxy boards, I don’t have a big car to transport it), and dogs prefer them due to the softer surface. I got this one according to the reviews, and I was not disappointed. I also took my dog to try it, and she stayed on the board easily! She likes swimming. She jumped off the board and the back up, it did not do any damage to the surface. Some marks of claw may be found, but it is not a big deal. To me this surface is unusual and softer, and I just pumped it to 12 psi. I want to try 13 or 14 psi next time. But I don’t want to use the provided pump because it has been difficult to use it. An electric pump will perfectly do, if you can adjust the PSI. Also, it was not very simple to go back on the board again because there were no additional board weights. So you should practice well. On the whole, my dog and I really like this board and going to use it as often as we can! I had some concerns about the inflatable boards because I thought they were not so rigid as I wanted them to be. But I read some reviews and watched some videos, I made a decision to buy one. When I unboxed my parcel, I checked the pump. I read that there could be some issues with valve or pump. I didn’t have any with that. But I had problems with the pressure when it became harder. My weight is about 160, and it was difficult for me to push the pump at 10 psi! According to the instruction, it must be 10-15. Well, I managed it to 12 psi, and I attached it to the furniture and decided to try it out. I stood on it and it was just slightly bowing. But it felt rigid. I easily deflated it, folded it up, and put in the bag. Its bag is a good backpack with straps. It should not be a problem to carry it. There are also rings to secure things better. I didn’t get any leash, so I had to buy it separately for $14.Atoll 11′ – Best inflatable stand up paddle board
