Super high quality inflatable SUP with great accessories!
Don't let the name "Blue Water Toys" fool you, this is no toy, it's a serious SUP. I have been riding hardwood SUP's for years and had to give it up a few years ago when I moved into an apartment and didn't have a garage for storage. I was reluctant that an inflatable SUP could have the performance and features that I became accustomed to. The Blue Water Toys inflatable SUP is absolutely incredible, without the slightest hint of flex. The large deck pad is very comfortable and bungee straps allow me to bring along whatever I want for my journey. The other very pleasant surprise was the high quality of accessories that the SUP came with, most importantly, the adjustable paddle. Besides this, the air pump, pressure gauge, and back pack are top notch and it even comes with a repair kit (although I don't see needing to use it anytime soon as the construction and materials are very durable). My only issue is that it takes about 3 or 4 minutes to inflate and the last few pumps to get it up to full pressure are not easy. However, this would be true for any inflatable SUP. Deflating the board after use only takes a few seconds and the whole package fits easily into the back pack, which is also quite comfortable. The 2 + 1 triple fin system with removeable large main fin allows the SUP to track very straight with minimal effort in calm waters and removing the large central fin gives you the option to really attack any whitewater challenge. Although the "experienced" rider will get all the performance they desire, a beginner would also be very comfortable on this SUP and not be frustrated by having to paddle on both sides to track in a straight line. I would highly recommend the Blue Water Toys inflatable SUP to absolutely anyone, from a first time user all the way to a highly experienced rider, you won't be disappointed with anything!

Oregon plus-size paddle boarding!
These take forever to inflate! I know it's meant to hold 375, but I'm 393 and it held me without any issues. I love that the fin locks in, and the paddle is good quality no bending or floppyness. I would recommend that you check your state's requirements for these boards. Oregon requires anything over 10ft have a permit (10$ buy online) and you must have a PFD, or lifejacket on the board. 14 and younger have to wear the jacket.

Ok...not great...but can be loved
Ok so this is my first ever paddlebaord. It came today 1/10/20. Right out of the box i pickes up the backback and the buckle broke (see picture). I inflated the board and so far is really stable and firm. The padle is ok...not a fan of putting the top piece on but im not going to adust it any more.Pros: its big...so if you want a stable board that can hold this is your vessel. I named her Orca bc of her sizeIts firm so no sagging.Cons: the bag broke right out.of the box. Not cool...not sure how.i feel about itITS NOT A DUAL ACTION PUMP. ITS SINGLE...WHY THEY DIDNT INCLUDE ONE WITH THIS SIZE IS BEYOND ME.Overall im ok with not not in love.with it. I might return it and get another oneUpdate: I returned the item back. The PSI gauge was the issue for me. No sense of not having a gauge to tell me how much. I don't want to over to it. I was going to get an electic pump but I still want a working PSI gauge.

Great package and even better customer service!!
I bought two packages and was so pleased and excited when they arrived. The boards are super fun and very stable even with two 6 year olds riding with me. The accessories are fantastic! The pumps both work without any leaks, the paddles both floated as advertised, the leashes are nice and the patch kits seem very complete.We took the boards to the lake and I pumped one up as soon as we had camp set up. We all took it for a spin and really enjoyed it. I had pumped it up to the recommended maximum of 15psi because I am a big guy at 6' 3" and 225 pounds, and I was taking my kids out with me. When we returned to the beach I pulled the board up onto the sand so it wouldn't drift away and retreated to the shade for a beer. After about 10 minutes we heard the strange hissing sound followed by a loud BANG! I looked around wondering what the heck and realized that the board had popped. Upon inspection about 7 inches of the seam had blown out! I was super bummed as you can imagine but we were there for 4 days so I tried not to let it ruin the trip. I pumped up the second board the next day to 12psi took if for a spin and didn't notice any difference in performance and when left of the beach there was not loud BANG. I don't believe that it was an over pressurization issue but a manufacture defect in that one section on the seam.When we got home I contacted the seller and explained what had happened. He we very polite and requested that I send him some pictures of the blown seam as soon as I could. He received the pictures and replied within 30 minutes that he would be shipping out a new board the next day, free shipping! I asked if he would like me to send him the damaged one and he said it was not necessary. I was expecting to receive a new board but what I received was a brand new complete package! Now we have a spare pump, paddle, leash and patch kit!These boards are fantastic and the customer service is above and beyond spectacular!! Buy it you will love it!

Too Big
A good product, as described. Bought two of varied size, this was the largest. Sought big due to concerns of buoyancy, balance stability and max weight desire. Large size (length & width) and short length of two stabilizing fins drive excessive sway making forward tracking painful. Large surface area catches extra wind necessitating more forward thrust requirement. My 2nd board has less surface are and double length on 2 stabilizing fins. It also has pointed nose. All of which make it a more useable board.
