THURSO SURFExpedition Touring Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board SUP 11'6 | 12'6 Woven Drop-stitch Carbon Hybrid Paddle/US Touring Fin/Pump/Backpack/Leash

Excellent inflatable board, though not for a beginner. Fabulous design: strong, well made, and wonderful features. Love the extra D-rings and bungee cords at the back of the board. Also useful to have the paddle holder. Quick-lock fins are a breeze and the envy of my bf who has to fiddle with screws to put the fins on his board. The paddle is pretty good as well (naturally, because it's in three parts it's a little heavier than a fixed length or two-part paddle but the carbon fibre definitely keeps the weight down. I've paddled consistently every summer for a few years and this is my first inflatable - got this touring (slightly narrow) board to be faster in the water and to ideally be able to keep up with my bf better when we paddle together. Well, this board is faster than many of the universal inflatables out there. It did take some getting used to as it's fairly tippy. First couple times out I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep the board, but didn't take long until I was very comfortable on it and gliding through the water. Highly recommend if you've had a little experience paddling and are looking for something faster than your average board. First couple of times I needed help inflating the board, but after a few weeks of owning it I've gotten stronger and can inflate it to 15psi in about 10-12 min. Great pump too, better than what comes with other inflatables. Wheeled bag isn't quite as handy and I'd hoped (wheels make the bag super heavy when not wheeled and wheeling around is a little awkward). But this is a small thing. When I'm on the board and paddling through our lakes and rivers, it's an absolute delight! All around a great board.

I've never been on an inflatable but after doing some research, EVERYONE loved this iSUP, so since I needed two I decided on this one. BEAUTIFUL board. I loved the look of the (feaux) grain and the foot pads stay dryer with the channels built in. I love the bungees in the front where I can put the bag it comes with and also my shoes. It took a trip to get used to the inflatable vs a hardboard, but it didn't take long. Super stable as others say, when inflated to full psi. It did take a while to inflate by hand but I wound up getting an electric pump that plugs into my lighter and I'm pleased with that. We actually left it inflated for weeks and just strapped it to the bed of my truck for transport and it rode GREAT, never lost air either. This board is a wonderful deal. NOW, for customer service!...THESE GUYS WERE GREAT. I had a couple items missing from my shipment (didnt keep us from using the boards right away tho), I contacted them through email and they responded and shipped it right away. Then had an issue with a faulty paddle (the paddles are very good by the way) which they sent a replacement for as well. VERY HAPPY WITH THESE BOARDS AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They are really high quality and very attractive, customer service is great, and my daughter and I love going out on the lake on these. THANK YOU THURSO SURF!! :)

Very pleased with the board, it is significantly less stable than the ones I got in the past, but that gives it more manoeuvrability and more of a satisfying core work out. Once loaded for touring, it instantly gets way more stable even in choppy waters. I was going for another brand more known and almost double price that I know and decided to give it a try, and I am extremely happy with my decision. Also it looks stunning, and inflates in only 7 minutes. Also the bag is significantly better than many I have seen, it can fully open and has great padding. I take it on thje pacific ocean coast and ocean arms.

I’m going to begin with the good. It comes with everything you need to get started. You get a lot for the price. The pump included is double action and can be used to deflate. The coiled leash appears to be good quality. The snack/drink case attaches securely to the board. I found out the hard way that the paddle does float. The backpack could have more pockets, but can’t complain too much for something thrown in this package. This board is faster than my Tower and cuts through the water easier.Now to the bad. The board is warped in a slight corkscrew manner. I left it aired up overnight to see if it would relax. Nada. I took it out on the water and it doesn’t seem to affect performance, but it’s annoying to spend $600 on a board that’s going to be warped. I took it out on day 2 and it’s still the same. So now I’m going to see if it will straighten up if I counter balance some weights on it. I’ll check in a few days.3 stars for the board itself. It’s good looking, but don’t let the fancy graphic fool you. It doesn’t seem to have the build quality as my Tower. And I wouldn’t compare this with a high end isup like Red Paddle Co. I want to give his a better review, but it’s a warped...4 stars for the whole package. $600 and you have a nice bundled package to get you started.

Good, easy to inflate. Fast but unstable
