The boards arrived in 5 days from order in perfect condition. Just had to put the fins on
We just bought two of these standup Paddle boards (SUPs) and if you are looking for lightweight and stable, look no further! The boards arrived in 5 days from order in perfect condition. Just had to put the fins on. My wife and I used them over the labor day weekend, and despite the waves from boats on a busy holiday weekend we found them to be extremely stable. The kids would paddle double, 2 on the same board and in the early AM I used the SUP to flyfish, and spinner rod fishing during the mid day. This morning we used them to explore several coves in Lake James NC- we went over 2 miles. The standing area is supersoft, place for gear up front, nice grip in center to carry. At under 25 pounds, I easily carried both at the same time down to the dock. Other boards I considered were more expensive, and heavier. Great product at a great price.Update 3/25/17: took these 2 SUPs 1500 miles round trip to Sanibel Island Florida- Handled the Ocean perfectly and were instrumental in looking for the famous shells!

If you want a soft-top, flat-water board, this may be the one.
Let me say right now that this is a critical review, but I recommend this board. It's cost, overall (albeit, initial) quality, and the company's reputation for customer service makes it a real contender.1) Excellent packaging (Does that matter? Well, it would tell you something about the vendor if its crappy packaging.)2) Overall quality: Very good - but time will tell.3) Rideability A little complicated, First off is these types of boards are called All Round'ers when clearly, by weight and shape, they aren't designed to or capable of surfing a wave. This board is 195 liters while my surfing paddleboard is about 135, I weigh about 195 lbs and plan to go down to about 120 liters. So these boards are flat water boards and not appropriate for surfing or open water.4) That's fine, it's a compromise. Real cruising boards are usually at least 12.5 ft to 15 ft plus long and longer and that's too big to conveniently haul around, for me anyway. So the target volume has to be incorporated into a shorter length which typically means a wider/thicker overall board, especially in the nose.5) In terms of flat-water cruising i find it stable but a little sluggish. Again, that's OK. I wanted a soft top because we carry our boards on our boat and the soft coating protects it and the decks and I'm sure that adds a couple of pounds. Plus I typically wear a backpack and carry a cooler and the board easily supports both.6) The overall shape is typical for an "All Rounder", but the Vee down the bottoms seems superfluous (although that may be a by-product of the manufacturing process), it should be more aggressively foiled especially in the nose area which also seems unnecessarily wide, and it needs to lose a few pounds (and above all else, this is why it only gets 4 stars).7) Customer Service: I don't know yet, but i was impressed with other reviewers' comments on the company.In summary, if you want a soft-top, cruise mainly on flat-water, this board should be near the top of your list.

This thing is awesome! Great price and a really solid board
This thing is awesome! Great price and a really solid board. A lot better that I expected. I didn't want to go with the inflatable but also wasn't willing to shell out over 1k. This baby got the bill and looks awesome doing it. Just make sure you buy a paddle as it's not included.

Soft top makes for a nice feel, just not sure if the dog will ...
Really big! My husband loves it and so does the dog! Soft top makes for a nice feel, just not sure if the dog will scratch that with her nails? She is a 90 lb lab that loves to be in the water or in this case on top of the water. We will see this summer.

Great overall board!
This order came with the board, board bag, leash, 3 fins, and paddle. Great value for the price. It was packaged so well upon arrival and I'm very happy with the quality and value. Took it out once and it's very stable and worked like a charm. Highly recommend.

Stable and lightweight paddleboard
Love my new SUP! Lightweight and very stable. I'm just over 5ft, in my 60's, in decent shape and can easily carry the board the quarter mile down my road to the beach on Lake Ontario. We have a rock beach and the foam does scratch relatively easily so I wonder how it will look after a few seasons, but it is so easy to maneuver and to climb back on when I want to cool down with a swim. I haven't fallen off yet and Lake Ontario can be a bit fickle with sudden winds and choppy surf.

maybe to pricey for the durablity
logo fell off after a week and I bumped the board on the rack I store it on (PVC pipe) and took a chip out of the edge. Probably not as durable as you would think paying the price they are

Really enjoy this paddleboard
Really enjoy this paddleboard. It's tough, easy to use and great excercise. BUT...after a few trips, the soft surface has begun to blister. This concerns me for the long-term durability of the product.
