My husband and I bought each other these paddle boards for Christmas and we couldn't be happier. The board came with all it's components, including a adjustable paddle that can be used as either a SUP paddle or a kayak paddle. The case is sturdy and everything fits in it really well. It's easy to take to and from your car to your paddling destination and inflates well. Very satisfied!

The sheer amount you get with this kit is amazing. However the seat is a take it or leave it feature. Let me explain.

This paddle board is pretty solid in construction, design and looks. The portability of it is great. Especially when you have to haul it back to you vehicle. The kit is extr light weight. The board itself is light but awkward to carry when inflated. I suspect every paddle is like this. But handle in the middle helps.

The pump is sturdy and the gauge on it is a great feature. The extra fin clicks in nicely and removes just as easy. The ankle strap is comfortable and easy install. The paddles are simple to assemble and work great in the double configuration.

Now my one gripe. The seat. It's kinda pointless but not. The bottom of it is extra padding but the back is useless. It is not something you can rest on.

Now I am 6'2 255lbs and it is snug so that could be the reason for my gripe. However it is does make for some good points for tie downs if you get it taut enough.

All in all I prefer a SUP over a kayak any day especially on some calm waters. We plan to travel with these to the beach and some great watering holes. The portability is something that can't be matched with a kayak.

Set is so easy. It pumps well and you will get a nice little warm up pumping it. Nothing to exhausting, I am fat and out of shape, I handled it just fine.

One last thing the dry bag is a great bonus. If you don't want to spend thousands on a board, I would totally recommend this. For the money it's great

I've had this paddleboard for 1 month now and taken it out twice in different conditions.

Overall I am extremely pleased. This baby is solid and thick. The pump time is quick. You really do have to trust and wait for it to get super inflated before you start to see the needle move on the PSI gauge. It seems like the board will pop if you add anymore air but keep going - it will make the difference between feeling stable and solid or not under your feet. When the needle does start moving, that's when the pumping gets tough. You'll need a bit of stamina and muscle to get it into the green range.

The foot strap was easy to install on the back ring and the front bungee straps perfectly and tightly secure my items.

I love that everything fits seamlessly into the backpack bag. It actually feels pretty light to carry.

The board deflates easily in the time it takes me to return from my car with the bag. A quick hose down and towel wipe down and it's ready to roll and pack away with ease. I paid attention when unraveling it the first time to know the most optimal way for it to roll back up (with the fins exposed on top). The extra fin also installs and removes easily with a little clip - we'll see how long that little piece of plastic to secure it in place lasts... But I also left it out on my first trip out and the fin didn't budge.

The first time I took it out on a bright sunny Florida day with strong winds in an ocean (salt water) bay and mangrove channels. On this occasion, I don't think I put enough air in it because it was a little less stable than I would have liked. I pumped it just into the green PSI reading (to about 11) and possibly due to being in direct sun and my own newness to the board, it took me a bit to feel sturdy and it never quite felt solid.

The next time I took it out on an inland ocean connected river with a serious strong current coming in from the coast. I pumped it to 13 and this time it felt very stable. I even ran pretty hard into oyster rocks at one point, jolted forward from the force and the board was intact and I was still standing. The board handled the current remarkably well. Strong, consistent paddling helped me move pretty quickly against it. My friend even used it for a while before I did AND fit her medium sized pup on it with ease. They had a great time seeing dolphins and manatees swimming all around them.

Overall, I love it's ease of use and convenience. Time and wear will tell how far the pricetag takes me and if patching will be needed and effective if leaks spring.

Happy adventuring!

I purchased this stand-up paddleboard (SUP) a couple of weeks ago after my friends invited me to join them for some paddleboarding adventures. Given my passion for kayaking, I often noticed many paddleboard enthusiasts using this particular brand, and upon inquiring, they consistently shared glowing reviews. With a price tag of under $300, it seemed like a practical choice compared to renting one from the local lake shop at a rate of $40 per hour. As it turns out, my decision to invest in this SUP was absolutely spot on.
When it arrived, everything required to kick-start my paddleboarding journey was neatly tucked inside the package. A sturdy bag, which I found incredibly convenient for storage and transportation, was included. An adjustable paddle, versatile enough to be used both for stand-up paddleboarding and sit-down kayaking, gave me added peace of mind as a newbie to this sport. Along with the leash, which offered an extra layer of comfort as I fully expected to fall off at some point, these accessories truly enhanced my experience. To my surprise, they even thoughtfully provided a waterproof bag to safeguard my personal belongings while out on the water.
Navigating the setup process was a breeze, thanks to the clear and easily understandable instructions provided. In the event that I encountered any hiccups along the way, they provided various ways to reach out for assistance, ensuring I was well-supported throughout the process.
Now, I'll admit that inflating the board initially required a bit more effort than I had anticipated. However, the payoff was well worth it. Once fully inflated, the board proved to be surprisingly rigid, offering a stable and smooth ride on the water. This stability greatly boosted my confidence and allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.
In summary, this is a great baord at a great value. We are ordering one for each member of our family.

Last week we spent three days on an alpine lake with 1) a new Sea Eagle 370 Pro 3-person inflatable kayak and 2) a new ROC stand up paddleboard. We had other toys too, but these were by far the most highly sought-after items. With 9 kids in two families, there weren't very many moments when both craft weren't on the water, but in the few hours that there was one on the beach, it was the kayak left behind, not the SUP. The kids would take out the ROC SUP, with a kayak seat hooked onto the D rings, and either sit, kneel, or stand, or sometimes all three. Parents had to wake up pretty early to get any SUP time at all.

Some of the best features:
1. We inflated it once to 14 PSI, and it stayed exactly at 14 PSI until we let the air out four days later.
2. It only has one inflation valve, vs five different valves for the floor, sides, and bow and stern covers for the kayak.
3. It was widly stable. Now, this was a lake and at most we had some mild chop from the powerboats and afternoon wind, but the SUP never felt unstable to anyone. Your experience on the open ocean may be entirely different; we haven't tried it.
4. It stood up to being dragged along rocks and gravelly sand with just a few marks. I tried, really tried, to get the kids to be careful putting it into the water and pulling it onto the beach, but my version of careful and their version of careful is pretty different. For three days of heavy use, and dozens of water-to-shore-transitions, it still looks pretty darn good.
5. It was super easy to fill and even easier to deflate. The littler kids wanted to fill it first, so we let them try the included hand pump, but they got tired. My 13-year-old did the major pumping in about ten minutes.
6. It fits in the bag with plenty of space. I'm not so sure the bag will hold up for years--it's pretty lightweight--but wipe off the SUP, roll it up, and pop it into the bag with the paddles and it's easy to carry without any cramming.

During our three days, the kids probably spent more time sitting on it than standing, but in the second half they did a lot of standing as well. I'm glad we have both the Sea Eagle kayak and the ROC SUP, but for our uses, if we make another purchase, it will be another of these SUPs, not another kayak.
