Paddleboards

I have a great stretch of calm river near my house so I was able to paddle a couple times a week through the spring & summer. It has been an amazing escape for me and I had no idea how much I'd love doing it. The board is high quality and very comparable in shape, weight, and materials used to most other name brand inflatables I've encountered (NRS, High Society, etc.). It holds air very well, losing less than a pound of air pressure when left strapped to the roof of my car for a week, I inflate it to 15 psi every time. It is very stable and easy to stand on in calm water. The fins are solid and do their job, I've had the big one removed for the last month to navigate shallow water and its been no problem, it just turns more when you paddle. I did go out on a big, wind-chopped lake once and the board became a wet noodle, had to paddle from my knees. This is not a criticism, just the reality of the conditions and me being a large guy (6'1'', 190 lbs.) on a standard sized inflatable. If I buy a second board, I'll probably get one that's a little larger for stability on rougher water. I'll reiterate though that this one is excellent for calm water, even for larger people. As for the accessories, I would say overall they met expectations at this price point. The pump is great and I'm able to inflate / deflate with about 5-10 minutes of pumping, easy. One quick note: be sure the little springy button on the air valve is in the UP position when you attach the pump, otherwise all the air will rush out when you remove it. Serene Life makes an electric pump for $60 if you want that option. The oar is fine too, though a plug on one of the sections fell out and disappeared at some point. Not sure what it was for and not worried about it. The buckle strap I received that holds the rolled up board together is useless, the buckle doesn't hold. I recommend getting NRS tie-down straps for that and for your roof anyway, they're very inexpensive and work amazingly well. The ankle leash is really nice and comfortable to wear. The backpack bag is solid but just barely big enough to hold everything if you get it packed perfectly, I wish they would have put a little more room in it. I did hike for about 30 minutes each way to an alpine lake with it and it was comfortable to wear for that period of time. There are starting to be more options in the <$400 price range as SUP gets more popular so certainly do your research. However, for right now I think this model is excellent and every bit as good as far more expensive ones. I knew I was going with one of the cheapest options so wasn't expecting perfection, but was hugely impressed after working the board hard for a few months. I think the company takes the product seriously and has improved it steadily over a few models. Get this one or something similar, you won't regret it.

Great product! Yes. You have to use some muscle to inflate by hand, we inflated to 10psi. But I have three teen boys to help. Everything you need comes with it in a huge backpack for easy carry, again, teen boys to help. Back fin is easy to put on and has a lock on the he screw so you don’t loose it in the sand, because I have kids, what’ could happen? After the second use, we figured out that if you depress the plunge thingy when pumping air, it won’t leak when you put the cap on! Yeah, that was a mom mistake the first go. We got two on the board so they (kids) could play chicken… well worth it. When rolling up, it has a strap to keep it rolled so you can put everything back in the bag… and I mean everything, including the sand you don’t want. Luckily it has holes to get the sand out! Overall, we love this board.

This board is great. Large enough to have someone else on with you. I like that it is wide for stability. Sturdy and stable. Only thing is that the outer plastic pocket on the bag is extremely cheaply made and sounds like crinkly plastic. They would have been better off with a mesh pocket!

Updated Review: After reaching out to support through Pyle (parent company), I was able to receive a replacement fin clip and strap. The process was entirely online (no phone number to call) and took roughly 4 weeks. Upping from 1 to 4 stars for now. We'll see how next summer goes... Original Review: We were initially pleased with the paddle board. We had tempered our expectations based on the low price, but still expected a few seasons of trouble-free use. The board itself has held up well so far, but the strap used to keep the board rolled up while deflated broke after the second use. While deflating the board today (3rd use), I noticed that the retaining clip used to keep the fin in place was missing. The clip had been tied to the fin with a short piece of string. I cannot say whether the string broke or simply came untied as both it and the clip are gone. I went back and searched for it to no avail. The broken strap was an inconvenience I could live with, but the board is now essentially useless without what was probably a 10-cent piece of plastic that keeps the fin in place. I reached out to Pyle (parent company who provides support for Serene Life products) and will see if I get a response. I will update this review accordingly should they offer a solution.

I was waffling between this paddle board and an Intex inflatable kayak which was a quarter of the price. I bought the kayak first and found that it didn't blow up to be stiff and I found it awkward to carry and impossible to carry alone. I returned it for this paddle board and I'm glad I did. I chose this board because it was about half the cost of most boards I could find, so I was skeptical, but hopeful. I recommend getting Serene Life's electric pump and it blew up in about 5 minutes and it stopped automatically when it reached my desired PSI, which was 11, lower than the 15 max. It was sturdy and stable, even with my 16lb dog on board. I'm pretty impressed and glad I spent the extra money to go with this, it seems like it will hold up longer than the kayak and I enjoyed paddling for much longer because you aren't stuck in one position. I was kneeling, sitting on my legs, laying down, standing up and I never fell off -- keep in mind, I'm new to this sport, so I expected to fall. We even had a threat of a thunderstorm and had to paddle across the lake as fast as possible against a headwind and the board was easier to maneuver than expected and while my arms burned, it never seemed unstable. The flexibility of different positions kept my back from hurting, something I hadn't thought of before purchasing. I'm really happy with it, especially for the price. It does not seem cheap, like the kayak did. A friend of mine had one she bought from Costco and this seemed identical in quality, and we both agreed mine was cuter!

This paddleboard saved me from a boring summer quarantine! I took this paddleboard to lakes and the ocean. Inflating takes some strength and determination if you want to pump it up fast, otherwise pumping it up is not difficult. Once inflated, it looks and feels like a hard plastic paddleboard! After paddling, its quick to deflate and then I just folded it into thirds and shoved it in the backseat of my subaru legacy, where it stayed for the entire summer. It comes in a backpack-type bag, which I used when I went to the beach with it. My dog loved going out for a paddle too! Two people and a dog can easily fit. My family bought one more of these as well.

I recently purchased this paddle board. I got it because it says it holds over 400 pounds. I weigh 220 pounds and the board was bowling in the middle very unstable.

Paddle board is great! However their customer service is sub-par. I bought 2 separate boards and both came with codes to get a free seat for each. I followed the online prompts to claim them and the automated response was to expect a day to get an email confirming my submission. A week passed with nothing, so I reached out to their customer service several times over the next week and still have yet to hear anything. It’s not so much about the free product as it is about the customer service response, and this lets me know that if I have an issue in the future to expect little to no help. I will try another brand next time! On a side note the boards are very easy to blow up and get going, the bag for one board opens all the way allowing easy pack up, my other boards bag only opens halfway so you have to make sure it’s folded good or it won’t fit. They appear to be made pretty durable but I’ve only taken them out twice so time will tell.

Ottimo prodotto sono molto soddisfatta non l’ho ancora provato ma sembra molto resistente

These are fantastic Boards, they take less than 10 minutes to blow up, they come with very clear instructions, and all the gear needed to get started. They are very stable on the water and an Absolute blast for the whole family. so much fun that we have now purchased 3 Boards. Absolutely worth it...Enjoy playing in the water!!!

Très impressionné par ce produit dès la réception ! La qualité semble excellente, les matériaux paraissent solides et bien finis, et tout correspond exactement à la description. L’emballage était soigné et la livraison rapide, ce qui donne déjà une très bonne première impression. Je ne l’ai pas encore utilisé parce que j’attends simplement le retour du beau temps, mais j’ai vraiment hâte de pouvoir en profiter pleinement. Jusqu’à présent, tout inspire confiance et qualité. On voit que le produit a été conçu avec attention et sérieux. Le rapport qualité-prix semble très intéressant et je suis convaincu que ce sera un excellent achat sur le long terme. Très satisfait pour le moment et je recommande sans hésitation !

Pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get it blown up. While i could not get it to 15 psi, it was still pretty solid at 5 psi. All seams were good, I like the carry case - I will probably need a bit of practice to fit it nicely, but seems to be a good size. I did not receive the bungee cord tie down - perhaps not included as a general rule. All in all, I can hardly wait to get it on the water!

Richtig gute Qualität, super Pumpe, lässt sich leicht aufbauen und abbauen. Wir sind super zufrieden...
