Sea Eagle FS126 12’6” Inflatable FishSUP Fishing Stand-Up Paddleboard w/Paddle(s), Pump, Removable Transom, Backpack/Optional Seat - Sit, Stand, Fish, Motor, or Troll

I have been using the FishSUP over the summer and in to the fall this year, and I wanted to give it a few months of use before giving it a review. I gotta say I am very happy with my purchase.You will likely want to go ahead and get an electric pump for inflation. The included pump will absolutely get it done in 10-15 minutes depending on how fit you are, but you are gonna be getting a sweat on. In the heat of a 100 degree summer day, that 12 or so minutes of inflation was a little brutal (dripping sweat). This isn't a negative really (all inflatables gotta be inflated), but I find with a 40 dollar pump set to 12-14 psi it takes about the same amount of time, but I can be preparing the seat, packing gear, etc while it inflates. Now that I have a process, it takes probably 20-25 minutes to fully set up and get out on the water when I arrive somewhere. The first few times following the instruction book will take you a bit longer, but that is to be expected.Once inflated the thing is a rock and you would be hard pressed to tell it is an inflatable. Standing while fishing is no issue, I notice absolutely no bend or give in the board when fully inflated. Holds me at 190lbs, my trolling motor and battery, three rods, anchor, and all my gear very comfortably without feeling crowded.I found that with a newport vessels 36lb trolling motor, the motor mount was not thick enough for the mount to clamp down on. There was a few mm of space still. I added a piece of wood a few mm thick to close the gap and allow the motor to clamp down. I don't have any other trolling motors to test, so I could not say if this is the case for Minn Kota or other brands.I did have one issue that customer service helped me with, and they went the extra mile. While rolling the SUP up on a very hot day after a trip, the skeg base got hot enough from the sun to melt the glue that attached it to the inflatable. About a half inch pulled away from the surface. This only happened on one of the three skeg bases, so it may have just been that one skeg got a little less glue than the others, or maybe just a little more direct heat from the sun. I reached out the SeaEagle via email and asked about how to properly reattach the skeg. They said they would check with technical support and get back to me. 10 days later I got a response that said they had put together a package containing everything I would need to do the repair properly and shipped it out to me. It arrived and I was able to make the rather easy repair following the instructions included. Things happen and it's all about how the company supports their product after the fact, and SeaEagle definitely stands behind their products. I would happily purchase from them again if I was looking for another inflatable.

The media could not be loaded. This is my first inflatable boat and wow,when it is ready it is hard to say it is inflatable boat,it is very sturdy, extremely well balanced ,set up is easy right out of the box ,it does take little over 11 min to pump it up ,this was me being in a decent shape and I m 33 years old ,so if you are gonna get on the water more than couple times a week I highly recommend buying electric pump,which I ordered few days after kayak arrived.because I live in a apartment and I will need to inflate 4 ,5 times a week .first day I didnt put the seat on it and just went for a paddleboarding,and this kayak can move even though I have never done paddleboarding before .it took couple minutes to adjust after that it was a breeze.Deflating was super easy too,took about 12 min to deflate and put in the bag and I was ready to leave the lake ,@45 pounds give or take it wasn't that heavy to carry it around in a backpack,everything u need fits in well to the bag.bag is not small it has a long zipper and pretty much opens all the way around so it was very easy to fit this kayak into it,board has nonslip surface and a ruler ,little wood board goes in to back for trolling motor ,fishing seat is very comfortable and scotty rod holders are very useful, little bag comes with it and has 2 rod holders up front ,I put my plano boxes in it and it is set,so u can easily take 4 rods with you ,and even go for troll fishing with the 2 holders on your seat when u hook up your trollin motor.Overall well executed idea ,I will definetly be doing more business with sea eagle in the future.

Boats have side walls, this is a paddle board. Pictures were deceptive; and with a no return policy unless damaged, little or no recorse. Fool me once, never again.

A friend took me out on her sea eagle and I was stunned by the stability of this sup! I've been looking for a small fishing boat and this boat fit my needs. I love it! Just bought an extra seat for my friends too!

Poorly made boards, first one lasted me 6 outings then began to leak air at the seams, got a replacement one in the mail since. This new replacement only lasted 3 outings. Customer service not much help, claiming that because the board is “improperly stored” (in my garage as opposed to in my house). Additionally, expect the setup of the board to take much longer than sea eagle advertises.
