SUP NIXY Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Package for Touring and Advance. Ultra Light 12'6" Manhattan Paddle Board Built with Advanced Fusion Laminated Dropstitch Technology and 2 YR Warranty

I conducted extensive research before buying the Manhattan. Everything is as advertised. The previous review is spot on. I opted for the electric pump which easily completed the task of inflation after about 9 minutes of using the well built hand pump...total time 16 minutes. I have about 20 rides on my Manhattan which I kept inflated over a month’s time with temperatures ranging from freezing to 65 degrees and there was no loss of pressure over that time period. I compared overall performance in high winds and chop to perfect conditions and found no meaningful difference when compared to my 14 foot Downwinder. This board is stable and fast! The backpack is simply awesome. I now have the means to pack it in to the Alpine lakes where a much heavier and awkward damage prone straight board will never go. It stores neatly in the back of my Subaru allowing me that impulsive after work trip to the lake when I need an SUP fix. The company owner is highly responsive to emails and seemed invested in my satisfaction with his product. This is the best major purchase I’ve made on Amazon.

Impressed! The SUP was shipped quickly and arrived on time. Packaging was excellent (double-boxed) and protected the contents. The SUP itself was safe and secure in the backpack, with shrink wrap and foam offering extra protection. Instructions are simple and clear.The paddle is intuitive and of reasonably good quality for a kit paddle; minimal wiggle and not sloppy, not overly heavy and seems well made.The leash is much nicer than I expected for a kit. Thumbs up!The backpack is also well made and obviously well thought-out. Grab handles are well positioned, workmanship looks good, the wheels appear to be of good quality, zippers work well and seem fairly tough. I really like the large pocket on the front, and the pocket on each side. It's also oversized so you can easily stuff extra gear in.The pump is considerably better than anticipated. The hose attaches easily, the handle is comfortable, and the dual-action works well.Now...about the board...simply put, it's GREAT! Fit and finish is exceptional and everything is clean and well executed. The deck pad is straight and solid, and very grippy. D-Rings are very solid and well placed. The fin appears to be very durable, and fits snugly into the fin box. The attachment screw is simple and easy to use, and rock solid. I inflated the board to 10 psi in about 5 minutes, then about another 3 or 4 to get it to 15 psi. Getting it to 18 took another 4 minutes or so. Not bad for a hand pump! Max inflation is 20 psi but I didn't see any reason to pump it up that high at this point. The board was pretty darned solid at 15 psi, and very rigid at 18. Deflation and pack up takes less than 10 minutes (at least in the house :)Paddling/performance impressions to come when the weather turns. So far, for $600 this thing is pretty incredible.

This is my first iSUP board. I like almost everything about it. When paddling, where one stands on the board has a dramatic effect on how straight you go. I am inclined to think a larger fin might offer a slight improvement? (I don't use it unless required) Over all quality of everything is excellent. Pressuring the board up fully to 20lbs is a workout. The pack provided if very good quality, still it might be improved on by shortening it's length to easily fit into smaller trunk spaces from front to back too provide more space for other things. The paddle does not feel heavy and I have not felt strained by using it. One improvement might be to have a snap lock that allows pivot angle adjustment. The leg leash and pump are of high quality and the pump features a nice lever too switch between double and single stroke air flow. Every seam and surface is seemingly flawless with one exception, a little glue visible around the inflation valve plastics. That is not a problem.

We bought two of these and have really enjoyed the boards. Great bag and enjoy how easy it packs up. Cons: one of the air pumps broke to second time we used it. The base closure under the pump came completely unsealed and rendered it useless.

Absolutely love this board. It is very good quality and has d-rings along the side for added accessories. Wish it had a pull ring or something at the front of the board.
