Side by Side Comparison of: Isle Surf and SUP vs Seattle Sports

This was a gift for my girls birthday a year and a half ago. We were initially concerned about the material but it turned out to be a non-issue. It did dent a small amount on the side where we had it resting on two hanging brackets in the garage for a year but not that badly. It's our first paddle board but we have a plethora of other water toys. Everyone can use it from our 75# 9-year old to my 230# self. We travel with it in our boat. We're careful with it but expect it to hold up for years to come.Picture of Mom giving guidance

Love my paddle board! exactly what I expected. great size and light weight. this is not a blow up which is what i wanted!

Very nice stable board , great beginner board

This is a quality SUP, especially for the price. I was concerned about how the soft top would work since I've been on many SUPs, but never one like this, and after taking it out several times, I can say that I actually prefer this material. Like others have mentioned, I did notice that the material dented slightly from the straps after I put it on my roof, but the indentations were not permanent. In fact, by the time I got the board off of my car and to the water, the indentations were gone. This board is comfortable to ride, the no slip surface is a really nice feature, and the paddle is high quality. If you're looking for a really nice SUP at a great price, I highly recommend this one!

This thing is awesome. A little to cold to hit the water yet in Cleveland but can't wait to paddle to the bars on it. It is huge. Seems to be very stable and the no slip grip is nice. The color and wood grain are amazing and everybody is amazed at the quality. This board will help me continue my quest to live the good life.

The new board arrived in a jiffy and it is just like the one I bought last year (different logo- California Board). Just need to attach the rudder and wait for "ice out" to give it a try. It is great to have to so we can paddle side by side with a friend and enjoy nature and conversation. This is the most popular lake toy with the kids and grandkids. Great for the young and not so young.

Great product! Will float an elephant. I purchased it for the family for use on a lake. It was easy to use for all skill sets. The adjustable paddle worked well and was easy to adjust. I used the free shipping, which was helpful getting it to Northern Wisconsin. A fun product at a reasonable price.

Very nice, but no directions on how to insert the fin. I have looked at as well as others. Seems like a mystery to everyone.

It's a great board but the only thing I didn't like is that it is a little slippery. Recommend buying a grip pad with the purchase of the board but other then that great buy.

Paddle got stuck after 4th use, now it doesn't extend. Lost fin in shallow rivers, looking for replacement.

Very stable and light. Makes a good first time board. Likely it will not last more than three years due to the nature of the materials used in its construction.

Foam scuffs easily! I live on a river with rocky shores. The foam this board is made of seems to score very easily on the top and sides... Would probably work better for sandy surfaces....otherwise handles well. Wish I would have gotten one with better protection on the sides and top!

Only had it out for about twenty minutes. Hope to find time to do more then I can evaluate it properly.

Probably getting what you pay for, but even at that, this should be more like a $300 SUP board, all in. Took forever to get here and when it did, it was the WRONG one, didn't even get the correct one until months later and missed some really important trips because of it. This is basically spray painted styrofoam. sigh.

got the 10'8 light wood board.Likes: comfortable, light weight whichs makes it easier to carry, pretty quick in flat water, pretty stable.Dislikes: VERY VERY easy to "dent" or ding and easy to tear the soft top coating. Rudder is flimsy and not retractable so you HAVE to lay the board on its top to keep from damaging it. All together not durable.conclusion: for the same price i could have gotten a more durable hard plastic board. It may be a little heaver but it will hold up over time. I'm so nervous to use this Isle board on the lake thinking it will break. The nose already is dented in where i fell off and hit it with my paddle the first time i took it out.also be careful when using your paddle mine has dings in the side from paddling???

I would say it's a good board for beginners. I used it 3 times over the weekend in a busy lake and that was the first time I've ever SUP'd, never once fell off. Board seems stable once you find your spot and get used to it. Kinda lags in speed though. My main complaint is quality. There is already a deep indention on the underside and on top are indentions from strapping the board down. For the price there are better boards out there.

The board itself was beautiful but it came dented in more than one place. You would expect better quality out of something that expensive. It also really stunk that they wouldn't handle the return of the product. My husband had to drive an hour there and an hour back because we received a damaged product. That is crappy if you ask me! Thankfully we were within driving distance. I only gave 3 stars because the board itself was pretty. I think it would have gotten beaten up real quickly though.

It is not as stable as flatter boards. comfortable surface, but no way to install a cargo net. Pricey for the quality.

Easily dents. Not as high quality as i thought it would be

Not made for heavier riders. Very soft and dents easily.

Let's start by reading the product description. "ISLE 10'8 Wood Finish Soft Top Stand Up Paddle." It is NOT a wood top. Let me save you the mistake of paying a RIDICULOUS amount of money on this product.This is a Styrofoam board. Same stuff that you drink disposable coffee out of. It is the bigger version of the Styrofoam boogie board you get for little kids. You know the ones - Styrofoam interior, cloth on top with a pattern of fish or a rainbow design on one side, usually blue cloth on the bottom. You pay about $10 at the local discount store for the boogie board.Meet the boogie boards big brother. Only instead of cloth on top they shrink wrap plastic. The plastic has a cartoon like print that looks like wood from a distance. Styrofoam. You can dent it with your finger. Easily. It got dented by my fingers on the first time out on it. A run-in in with a rock would destroy it.Two stars really belong with UPS who brought it to the door - easier than having to pick it up and bring it home on the top of my car.It's worth significantly less than what a paid for it. Do NOT waste your time.

the fin doesn't fit , no instructions , not durable

Absolute garbage, poorly made.

Received it damaged 2 months ago and still no replacement :(

Damaged upon receipt.

The first time I planned to use my board I took the fin out of the package and when trying to install it to board I quickly realized it is not the correct fin. It will not fit. I can't use my board without it, it won't steer.

It is a great board for starters but the quality and material seemed to be less than ideal. It is more of a styrofoam material than a hard board. Strapping it in my truck left indentations in the board and the sides where the seams are and they have already started to tear after one use. Spend the extra money and get a polyurethane board.

now that I have had this board for a little while, not quite a year yet, sad to say not very pleased that it is coming apart.We did use it regularly during summer last year and just started to use it again this summer. the back end is coming apart and it is taking on water.For the money I would think it would last longer then one season.Will not be purchasing a board like this again and will not recommend it.
