SereneLife Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board (6 Inches Thick) with Premium SUP Accessories & Carry Bag | Wide Stance, Bottom Fin for Paddling, Surf Control, Non-Slip Deck | Youth & Adult Standing Boat

I've bought a total of 3 inflatable boards of my own over the last 2 years. I've ridden countless other boards, both hard and inflatable and I can easily say this is probably the best board you can buy at the price range ($319 before shipping when I purchased).Here's a list of the reasons I would highly recommend this board over other similarly priced ones:- The quality of the board and it's material is high and rivals that of boards in the $500 - $700 range.- 6 inch thickness means this board can easily hold 2 people. This is something anyone should be aware of when purchasing a board. I recently bought the highly rated 4-inch Pathfinder which is a nice, light board, but can definitely only hold 1 person.- Comes with a leash which most boards do not. And on that note...- The dual fins in the back make this a great board for surfing. A leash definitely comes in handy when out in the ocean because this thing will float back to shore if you're not holding onto it and a wave crashed over you.- Very easy to roll/fold up and store. This is probably the biggest selling point of inflatables. No roof racks needed, takes up minimal space.- Being inflatable means it's not an issue if you accidentally bump things or drop it. Have permanently scuffed or dinged hard boards even from the smallest taps, so this is a nice peace-of-mind thing with all inflatables. Material is thick enough with this (and most boards) that I've yet to puncture one, even having taken them into rock rivers or running into or over random branches or tree trunks.So to sum it up, as someone who owns 3 inflatables and has used countless others, I can easily say this is the best one I own. It's great for 1 or 2 people, is highly buoyant, very stable, and comes with a lot of great additional things that really sweeten the deal (2-way pump and leash).VERY IMPORTANT/MUST READ:I gotta update some things at the bottom of this review as the electric pump situation has kind of changed right now in late 2020. The pump I was previously recommending isn't even on Amazon anymore.First thing to be aware of when buying an ISUP pump is knowing the difference between 2-phase pumps and single-phase compressor pumps.- 2 phase is fast inflation until the thing you're trying to inflate hits a couple psi, then the compressor kicks in (pump gets much louder) to do get the board from 1-3 psi to 15psi or whatever you're trying to inflate to.- Single-phase is purely compressor, so it's not recommended to inflate your entire board from scratch because compressor pumps are meant for higher psi's and only shoot out air in smaller short bursts and will take a long time on inflating a board from scratch (around 25 minutes) and you risk burning out your pump. If you do buy a single-phase (compressor only) pump, just use the hand pump that came with your board to inflate the board until it takes shape, then plug in the compressor pump and let it do the rest of the work.Do some research if necessary but if you're buying a pump off Amazon, look at reviews and try to get pumps that come with a warranty. The cheaper pumps ($50 to $100 range) don't have the best reviews and don't have warranties because they tend to break or burnout pretty fast. My sister bought one of the cheaper pumps a few months ago and has only used it about 4 or 5 times and it burned out on us yesterday and we had to use our hand pumps to get the boards the rest of the way. The pump I linked below seems to be the sweet spot for price and quality and also comes with a 1-year warranty. In my personal opinion, if you're paying less than $100 for an ISUP pump, don't be expecting a whole lot.https://www.amazon.com/Swonder-Electric-Intelligent-Auto-Off-Inflatable/dp/B07TY9X6NF/ref=sr_1_12?dchild=1&keywords=isup+pump&qid=1606750545&sr=8-12

This board is great. I've used hard boards in the past and had a blast. This board feels almost identical and fits conveniently in the trunk of my Civic. It's just as stable, almost as fast, and turns much easier since it sits higher in the water. I've since bought a different iSUP so that I have one for friends to borrow but it was no where near the quality of this board.Pros:inexpensive but of excellent qualityvery stable (My kids ages 5, 7, and 9 can navigate the shore with it)turns tightlysurprisingly fastbungees are handyeverything you need included (including leash and pump)Cons:subjectively, there are cooler looking boardsthe aluminum paddle is heavy and unbalanced but there are lots of paddles that cost more than this whole board packageI had a bit of experience and did a substantial amount of research before I pulled the trigger on this board. I highly recommend this as an intro SUP. I also recommend getting a lighter paddle and an electric pump. I just use my cheap Ryobi air pump to get it 90% inflated and finish it quickly with the manual pump to get the required pressure.

I've used the SUP three times, and along side a hard SUP. I am very happy with the board. It is plenty stuff enough. I'm 185 lbs and it does not flex when properly inflated. It is a little less stable than the hard SUP I tried. I think that is the nature of inflatables because they are so much lighter (higher CG), but storage is so much easier.Here are a couple of tips:1. I thought the pressure Gage was broken. It wasn't, you just have to put a lot more air in than you expect.2. The fill valve leaked initially. Turns out you can simply tighten it down with the included valve wrench.

So, I am a total beginner to this. Took the board out today to a lake nearby. Last week I tried out my daughter’s Peak inflatable board. Inflating these thing are a workout in itself. I must say the pump that came with this board is far superior to the pump that came with the Peak. In contrast, the backpack that came with the Peak was much better. Had an outside pocket to slide the paddle into. This backpack is not real comfortable, you need to make sure everything is just so, so nothing is poking you in the back. Anyway, I am 62 years old, pretty damn fit, it takes me about 15 minutes to manually inflate this. Board did not seem as sturdy as the Peak (which is a couple hundred bucks more). This was only my second time out, I noticed a bit more core maneuvering to stay balanced on this board. Went across the lake, had a great time. I really like this board for the price. The biggest drawback was when the wind picked up I had a real hard time trying to carry my board back to my car. I got the inflatable because I have no way to transport a hard board. Anyway, I’m pleased with my purchase.

We looked for a while before purchasing this board because we were skeptical about a paddle board that you pump up, but we like it better than traditional boards. It takes maybe 10 minutes to pump up with the pump that comes with it. This was a perfect fit for our family because the SereneLife Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board (6 Inches Thick) Universal SUP Wide Stance w/ Bottom Fin for Paddling and Surf Control | Non-Slip Deck comes in it’s own bag with a pump, paddle and leash. Regular boards don’t come with the leash, you have to buy a rack for your vehicle and a paddle. You also have to have somewhere to store your board when not in use. My children, 6 and 7, liked this board because of the non-slip deck. It held at highest @ 360 pounds with no problems. It’s sturdy and not heavy or awkward to carry. It’s easy to deflate and roll up to put back in the bag. It’s easy to store. I highly recommend this board!!

We were looking for an iSUP for our 10 year old daughter to ride with her mom. We were looking for a reasonably priced 10ft iSUP and took a bit of a chance on this one as there are several in this price point. We are very happy with our purchase as this iSUP matches up very well with our older more expensive model in terms of stability in the water and quality of the deck. Delivery was incredibly quick and everything was in perfect order. An extra bonus with this board is that it is very packable so we took it with us on our vacation and there are no extra airline fees as its below 50lbs and fits within its duffel bag which is within the checked baggage specs. If you are looking for a stable, fun, play around iSUP then I would highly recommend this one.

Great paddle board very well made. Impressive how hard and stiff board is when inflated/ hard to believe it's inflatable. Reviews all say very stable board . This is our first board and we are beginners but find it somewhat tippy but that might just be usVery happy with the quality.

The board inflates easily and looks great too - the colours and design are quite nice. The attachable fin makes the board very sturdy and not very sensitive to changes in direction while paddling. So it’s nice for beginners that way but a more experienced boarder might find it a bit too rigid. I also wish it came with a few more written instructions (about how to inflate, how to attach the ankle leash and the water proof pouch, what height to have the paddle at, etc.) but it’s fairly self-explanatory and what is missing can all be found online I suppose :)

The caveat to this review is that this was purchased in October and has not been out on the water but the first impressions are very positive. The board was well packaged, the parts seem to be made of solid materials and the instructions were clear enough for us to pump it up and then bring it back down. Everything fits easily in the provided bag with minimal fuss. Above all, the fully inflated product feels sturdy. We can't wait to take it out when the weather warms.

I'm quite disappointed with the quality when I opened the package. I just received it two days ago and i already noticed the bend on one of the fins. I pumped it up to see if it wil straighten itself but it didn't correct itself. You can also see the craftsmanship is poorly put together during assembly.I haven't tested it out on the water to see how sturdy it is and if the bent fin will affect my paddling.
