Bestway Hydro-Force Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

Great value. When inflated, it’s as hard as a rock. Love it. I’m a 72 year old female and took it to the lake (AZ) last week for the first time. Our shorelines are extremely rocky and it held up well. It was amazing and so much fun!! Grandkids loved it, grown kids loved it and after they were finished, I tried it. Knelt on it and toured the cove. I will stand next time!! Packs up in 2 minutes, and fits easily into its duffle bag, ready to be put in the back of my Jeep for next time. I might be able to pump it up myself, but the last 20 pumps are hard and my son did those. I’m buying a sturdy duffle bag with wheels, smaller than the one it comes with, so I can check it for my trip to CT next week on SWA, bags fly free! I can’t wait to master it!! I’d buy it again in a heart beat!

Took this out for several hours on the lake. Worked excellently. It took quite a bit of energy to inflate to the proper PSI level but doable. I am not a particularly strong person in my upper body so if I can do it, most people could if they are at least a slightly fit adult.Excellent value for the money. Seems pretty durable thick rubber. I did encounter some large rocks in a shallow area and it didn't even leave a scratch. The only critique I could leave is that I wish I had something to attach to paddle to so it doesn't sink if I were to fall in the water, but I can easily purchase that separately. Also loved that it is only 9 feet and I was able to fit it inside of a small Subaru Crosstrek if I put the seats down. It fits perfectly from my front windshield all the way to back window on the passenger side when inflated, and I can easily close the back hatch.

I bought this for the price, I wanted to try paddle boarding, we were going to rent one on vacation but it cost almost as much to rent one for the week. So I bought this. The day we got it I put it together, it blew up in minutes just like the ad claims. We took it to the swimming pond around the corner and the life guards let us try it out. I felt very sturdy, paddling was easy, getting on was a breeze and falling off was fun. Since our maiden voyage we have been out a few times, mostly on calm lakes. I think this was a great investment, I love that I can pop it in the car and go where ever I want. Thinking I need to purchase one for the kid now.

I’m very happy with this board thus far. I’ve been renting or borrowing a board on and off for 2yrs now so I decided to get one as a “tester board” before buying a higher grade one (see if I use it enough to warrant a more expensive board haha). Overall I’m pleased with it. The board comes with all the standard equipment of a startup; board, paddle, ankle strap, manual pump, repair patch. Has 3 NON-removable fins, all equal length. Downside, it does NOT come with a cargo net or bungee to tie down equipment on the nose. And it only has 2 attached D-rings; one at the nose (on the tip, not on the deck of the board) and one behind the back handle to attach your ankle strap to. I was able to use carabiners to strap down my sandals and dry bag to the back D-ring but will consider buying a kit to attach a net at the nose of my board one day.It took me about 15mins (breaks included) to manually pump the board to the 15psi max recommendation. I do not have the most upper body strength so if you have more muscle up top, it probably won’t take as long. The pump has a dual chamber so remember to unscrew the black valve when you’re around 1-2psi!To start, I’m used to flat rivers or inlet paddling and using a minimum of a 11’, wider board. So this board was an adjustment since it is not as wide, only 9’, and I live on the bay, at the mouth of the ocean. Tidal waters made it more difficult with this board (particularly going against the tides), it was less stable and didn’t cut through the water as smoothly as I’m used to. But, again, I was on different waters now and I knew a smaller board would be a different feel. I’m still adjusting to it but I feel like this board performed as well as expected for the waters I was on and as I get more comfortable, I’m sure it’ll get easier!At one point I looked down and realized I was about to ground on top of an unmarked oyster reservoir...only thought in my head was “oh sh*t oh sh*t oh sh*t, I’m gonna tear up my board on the first ride!” Couldn’t step off obviously or I’d cut up my feet so I wiggled the board off the oyster patch and am very pleased to report that the board is still in tact! So 5-stars on durability haha!I would have liked to consider teaching my dog to ride on this board with me but it probably won’t happen. I couldn’t conceptualize a 9’ board and once I saw it I seriously doubt it’d work with my 70lb lab/pit mix. A smaller dog should be fine, but a dog his size probably wouldn’t work. The equipment bag does seem a bit cheap. I could see it breaking eventually. I also use a bungee cord to keep my board rolled up when in the bag. It’s large enough though that I can store the board, paddle, and pump in the bag!Overall, very happy with this purchase. I believe the quality of it is nicer than what I was expecting for the price.

Easy to pump up and works great on our slow moving river. Recommend!

We just opened the box for a test run of set up and the pump requires 2 LR44 batteries, available on amazon 15 count for $5 plus change in a day's time. The pump seems like a nice one, hoping all works well with it when the batteries are installed. The air tube end that screws into the pump was a little stiff to get started on the thread but seems to to be installed fine now. There is a small black piece that seems to come out of the pump, is this for deflation? I couldn't find an explanation in the manual. I'll update when I get it blown up and take a test run but I just wanted to post about the batteries in case anyone has an event or vacation and finding these batteries on the fly may not be so easy.

I’ll begin by saying, I’m not a serious paddleboarder. My kids and I use ours mostly on calm lakes and just to play on. At first, I felt that this paddleboard seemed a little cheaply made (compared to my other two), but it has been great. I really liked that it came with a paddleboard attachment for my high pressure inflator. We’ve had a lot of fun with it.

This is a quality item however, it did not work for what I needed it to. I purchased this to mainly use in the bay and was unable to keep it steady enough to go a distance. My 60 lb nephew navigated and balanced well but once any adults attempted it was much more shaky than any paddle board I’ve ever been on.The pump was great and blow the paddle board up quickly and with little effort and it did all easily fit in the bag. This made transport very simple. I am sad that this didn’t work out for me.

After lots of research looking for the right SUP at the budget I wanted, I ordered this one as it would be smaller and more light weight. I go paddle boarding at least twice a week and it’s proven to be much better than I anticipated! It’s sturdy, easy to inflate, and durable. I have used it more than 20 times now and it still works well! Very happy with this purchase.

Relación calidad - precio todo excelente !!

Excelente calidad de Paddle Board

Love this board! I was concerned the cheap price would reflect in quality but not so. This thing is sturdy and durable. I used it at least a dozen times over the summer...it’s been banged around in transport and lugging (and bumping) it’s long dimensions around corners in my house and it’s held up well! It is a bit smaller then some boards so stability is compromised on rougher water but doesn’t bother me at all. I enjoy alternating from standing to sitting anyway while paddling as it works out different muscles. Great board tho! I can fit it in my Pontiac vibe fully inflated with the back hatch glass just open a touch. Haven’t had to deflate it once. Loads up into my car in 60 seconds and away i go!

El paddle es de buena calidad, es ideal para niños y jóvenes, en mi opinión no recomendable para adulto ya que con un mayor peso no es tan estable, el remo no flota y es un poco pesado. En general un buen producto.
