Side by Side Comparison of: Bullet Proof Surf vs Isle Surf and SUP vs Tower Paddle Boards

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.

If you are looking for a well built/stable board that can easily handle 2 people this is the board you want.We bought a couple of these boards and didn't want to write a review until we had a chance to use them in several environments.We have paddle boarded on a pond, lake, ocean and the board performed great on all 3. We actually paddled on the ocean fighting through waves to get beyond the break which on these boards was a breeze! They a re nice and light and popped right over the waves to get beyond them. Found it easiest to sit like on a kayak and paddle right into the waves. At one point I went out there with 2 kids on it with me all sitting to get beyond the waves and than the kids would stand up behind me while I remained sitting. This was very challenging but great fun. Anyways point is they are tough stable and a whole lot of fun.Also what I really like is not worrying about damaging them under any conditions, we just go out and have fun. When we show up to a lake I just lay them in an empty parking space next to our car right on the concrete, pump them up and go, when we are done we just lay them next to the car again, deflate both in probably under 2 minutes pack them away and off we go. Only thing that ever slows us down when trying to deflate and pack up is that so far every single time people walk up and ask about the boards :)The only thing I would change about this board is I would put the valve in the front which would make deflation/rolling up a bit easier. This is very minor and would not prevent me from buying more of these boards.So to sum up quickly if you want a board that is built tough, very stable, a whole lot of fun and one you don't have to worry about damaging get this board!

I did a lot of research for an inflatable SUP before I pulled the trigger. I was worried I would sink; I was worried that the inflatable-ness would mean flimsiness; I was worried about weight of hauling it around. Bought this one, and at this point, the only thing this SUP is missing is a cup holder :)FYI: I am a 5'9" woman who weighs about 200 lbs. This SUP took me about 10 minutes to inflate (it did get a little difficult at the end, but I got it done). I inflated to about 12-13PSI, and this thing is solid. The casual observer would never know it's inflatable.I took it out on the lake, and it stayed afloat great. My brother was on a solid SUP, and he sank more than I did on this one, which was barely at all. I sat on it, kneeled on it, tried standing on it once before sitting down (it was early May and I wasn't ready to be fall into the chilly water yet if I fell off). I paddled around the lake and it was great. Like I said, the only think missing is a cup holder, but that's a trade-off I'll take for an easily portable, lightweight SUP. Once I take more trips standing up and with more than one person on it, I'll post an update.

This is my second Tower board and I couldn't be happier about it. The boards are solidly constructed with tough materials, and feels like it could really take a beating against rocks or barnacles.I really like the plain white/grey/black design, with no loud colors, crazy patterns or excessive details. Just very elegant.I had an issue with the second board, where the center fin was missing from the original box. It took me just 2 emails and less than 10 minutes to let them know and ship a replacement one, with a kind apology.I'm a fan.

I love this thing!!! I live in Hawaii and I caught the SUP fever :). This board lives up to all the Tower company's promises. It really is as rigid as they claim it to be. Seriously! And it weighs next to nothing! It is very well constructed and durable. I took it to a tidal flat with rocky bottom (the place that you should never, ever take your rigid board to) and there's not a scratch on it! There were people on the beach looking at me like I was a fool, and then they stood around me shocked when I took my board out of the water and got the air out. They couldn't believe it was an inflatable! I bet Tower got a few orders from the Aloha state after that day :)Bottom line, if you are searching through reviews, forums, online chat rooms etc. for the answer what is the best iSUP your money can buy, stop your search now! You can spend almost $2K on the Red Paddle of the same size, and maybe it's design will speak more to your inner surfer and you will be okay dealing with the steel batons you have to insert into the side channels, and will believe that the flex of the board is only due to those extra pounds you are trying to lose... And maybe after all this work it'll even ride nicer (I was considering Red Paddle if you can't tell :) ) but will it ride $1300 nicer? Nope. Will you be able to take your child and his friend along for the ride? Nope! Well, yes, if you are really, really petite :) This board is fantastic! Save yourself hours of unnecessary research and spend them on the water instead paddling your new Adventurer 2!

Let me get the "bad" out of the way first... The only real negative I can attribute to the board itself and nothing else (manufacturing/shipping/human error, etc) is that while this is pretty good for a beginner board, it's probably also not the best option for a beginner. I have one of the Adventurer 2's, and a BicSup 11'6 and the BicSup is by FAR more stable. It's not to say the Adventurer 2 isn't stable, it's just that it does a fair amount of wobbles and that may discourage a beginner. It's not going to flip or anything it just rocks quite a bit it's just when compared to other "novice boards" it's not quite as stable is all. I do suggest you purposely rock it almost as soon as you get your bearings though, simply so you can start to get a feel for how far it'll go.Now for the good.- If you didn't know this was an inflatable you'd never be able to tell the difference. Yes, it's THAT rigid! I had this up on two saw horses and stood on it just like in their videos! The only thing that gives it away as an inflatable is if you're approaching 200lbs it'll start to sag ever so slightly in the middle.- It's also made extremely well, this really feels like something that is truly "military grade". That being said it IS an inflatable so don't be dumb with it. A really sharp rock or other underwater obstacles like metal will certainly damage or puncture the craft...but then again anything that would do that damage to this would surely also damage an non-inflatable.- The board itself is extremely fast and maneuverable in the water. When my Wife and I went on our first longer trip (about 3mi round trip) it was really windy going out and so I gave her the BicSup thinking the stability would benefit her. We switched half way through though as she found this MUCH easier to maneuver in the higher winds.- Company is really cool, they even send out postcards thanking people for the purchase!- Fin attaches easily and seems fairly sturdy...the fins permanently attached to the board are great as well!The mixed/meh- The pressure gauge flew off when pumping it up the first time and wouldn't go back on because the threads were stripped... I fixed it with some hot glue and it's held since but figured it was worth noting.- The paddle is passable, but overall it's heavy and the paddle surface is fairly small. Upgraded almost immediately to some paddles that were on sale elsewhere and never looked back.

I bought this when it went on a "deal of the day" last week for a very affordable price. It is a nice package especially, for first timers, as it has a nice fiberglass (2lb) adjustable paddle, the pump and gauge, a "repair kit consisting of a valve wrench, some patch material and a wide strap for rolling it down. The board has been holding air for the last week without losing any air. The outfitting is awesome as it has 3 handles, a large non skid area, a bungie tie down system w 4 attached d rings and and stern d ring to attach a leash. This is my first SUP, but I have been rafting, kayaking and canoeing for 40 years, have been a professional raft guide and canoe/kayak instructor and own a fleet of rafts, canoes, kayaks and inflatable kayaks for personal use. When the SUP boards first came out, they were modeled after the ocean boards and I did not like the narrow (tippy) and thin designs as I wanted to have a more stable, higher flotation sup that would work for rivers and also for my dog and a dry bag w food and beverages. I like this design w the width (33" on my board at the widest point) and 6" thickness compared to most w 4". The large removable center fin has the same quality system NRS sells, so it will be easy to upgrade the fin for river use. The pump looks better than I was expecting and I plan to remove the 2 screws and take it apart soon to add some silicone grease to the rubber gasket as it does seem to be a bit dry. Any SUP design is a compromise and the Adventure 2 favors stability and high flotation at the expense of speed and quick maneuverability, perfect for what I want for my first board. For racing or high level ocean surfing, there are better and more expensive options. For class III/IV whitewater river surfing, there are some more specialized options, like the Badfish designs. The build quality looks very good w nice seam work and no obvious blems, time will tell how long it will last as I know the cheaper china made PVC rafts have delamination problems after 5-15 years due to the cheaper welding process they use to make the boats affordable. The first thing I did after inflating was to apply a thick coat of formula 303 protectant as a sunscreen/PVC protectant and i recommend other consider using this to protect your board, http://www.amazon.com/303-30440-Protectant-Trigger-Sprayer/dp/B0015X95M0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462324738&sr=8-3&keywords=303+uv+protectant I think for longevity, it would be best to store the board party inflated instead of rolled down if you have the space. Rolling the board will put some stress on the fabric and seams, but will work if you are tight on space, loose roll rather than tight would be better. Some reviewers had complained how easy the board will collect stains w the white color, mine is about to become mud red from the dirty colorado river but I read the magic erasers do good job removing stains. I am fine with just the wide strap over a carry bag as I can always find an old duffle if I want a bag and it helped to keep the cost down. Lastly, the Towercompany seems to be very responsive to any issues people are having and what a great deal it is to know I can get good customer service in the future if I have any issues. I have no vested interest in this company or their boards and bought this package with my own hard earned money. Enjoy!!!

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!

I like the portability. When inflated to proper pressure, the board looks and feels solid. The only thing I don't like is that I've had to request a new pump hose adapter and pressure gauge directly from Tower because the glue doesn't hold the components together.

Initial impression.We bought the board for family uses, Kids, multiple users, recreational use/fun.The board easily holds 2 adults + 2 kids Paddling under this condition, is entertaining, but non functional.Easily usable with two people.The price was incredible. The value exceptionalThe board works as intended, tracks no better or worse than expected.The paddle is a "kit" paddle, do not have high expectations, however it is adequate.The pump is a "kit" pump, and again is adequate, nothing above adequateI do not expect the pump or paddle to remain adequate for long.The pump hose, is CHEEP, and the connection to the valve is poor. (needs to be held in place to prevent leaking)The accessories, are not covered by the warranty. I have little faith, and low expectations.All said and done, if the board does not split apart at the seems, It will have met expectations.The board is great fun, and feels solid. I have seen them used as rentals (3 seasons old)Only Time will tellUntil it fails, 4 star, mostly for value

Great board, once it's inflated. I would give the board a 5 star rating, but the experience of having to use the hand pump would get a 1 star. That shouldn't really be a reflection on the quality of the board, which is what matters most. I highly highly highly recommend buying an electric pump (i bought and recommend the Goodyear i8000 120-Volt Direct Drive Tire Inflator). It doesn't have an automatic shut off at the desired PSI, so you have to keep an eye on it, but it is a little more commercial than some of the others on the market.Once the board is inflated, its great.

Nice board. Great Price and happy with purchase.Pros - easy to use/inflate. Great board to start SUP -ing with. Very stable - and didn't seem a problem to have to people on it in regards to weight.Cons - not a fast board - sometimes felt a little bit of a drag when compared to other models I've used/tried. Board is all white, so gets dirty really quickly (not a huge deal as it should be easy to clean - just saying).Pump is on the large size - great for pumping up the board - not so great to carry around.Overall - happy so far.

Love the board so far. It is great to use, easy to carry and performs well in the water. You can not really tell it apart from the other types of boards. I love it because I am a small person who cannot lift an 11 foot board onto the top of my minivan alone and my husband is gone with the military all the time. One issue we cannot avoid is that the pump makes an awful whistling noise with every pump. It draws a lot of unwanted, unnecessary attention to the fact that you are blowing up your SUP. People stare. It could also be a lot more powerful for a pump. The board is great but the pump is wimpy and screams every time it blows air into the board. I wish they would send us a new one. It is embarrassing.

I'm a beginner. I only rode a sup Naish in HI. One time. But that was all that was needed to get into this.Now I have paddled 5 times in total. 4 of those being on the Adventuer 2. I have only paddled on inland lakes. I have dealt with fast currents, killer wind , and the wakes from boats.I like that I can transport the board in me jeep, then inflate it when I get to my destination. People are surprised when I deflate it. They thought it was a hard board. Crazy reactions. I kind of like that.So far, there's no issues.Inflating the board is a little challenging. It takes awhile for the pressure to build up on the gauge. (It's a work out, the first couple of times. About 3-10 minutes depending on your physical endurance).But all in all, remember that I have only rode 2 boards, I think this is a awesome product. Everything is what they said it would be.

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.

I bought my paddle board about a month ago and have used it in lakes and a bayou. The paddle board works great and is everything I was hoping for. I even recommended this board to my SIL and she purchased one as well last week.The reason I gave 3 stars is because I was out on a lake with my 2 year old this weekend. She was playing around and paddling and dropped the paddle in the water. It may have been in the water a maximum of 10 seconds before it sunk and I couldn't find it. I called the company and expected a new paddle free of charge a) because the description says it floats, and b) because I have had this board for 1 month. They did take half off the price of the paddle but I was still disappointed in that.

Material isnt as durable as I'd like it to be. We used in a rocky area and wasn't quite impressed, though it may get damaged. I'll probably invest in non-inflatable sup board next time

It's nice.. easy to turn, no problem inflating, except that it has bubble skin all over the board. So I return it.

The Tower Paddle Board is a decent board don't get me wrong. There is a lot to like with this iSup, but in the end it does not work for my body type. Others might find it to be an exceptional option.The positive aspects are pretty great:The materials are decent quality.The deck pad is nice feeling under foot.The carry handles are nice quality and feeling. Generally well placed on the board.The bungie storage is nice addition to the original version.The fin is nicely made and is easy to connect.The paddle is serviceable... works for a good first paddle.The pump is okay. I had a very hard time pumping it up past 15psi.The reason this did not work was because of my height/weight. I am a bigger guy at 6ft1in and 250lbs. I found that for me the the springy nature of the board distracted too much to enjoy the ride. Pumped up between 10-15PSI the board was very very bouncy feeling. Even at 15+psi I found that the board could feel like a trampoline. There were times the bouncy nature of the inflatable settled down, but generally the undulating feeling was disconcerting. It was not as stiff as some of the other iSups I have tried and not nearly as smooth of a ride as my hard board.It was stable side to side, but I found the up and down bouncy feeling of the board to be kind of a bummer. I thought this board would work for me as a good spare board, but at my current height and weight it is not that enjoyable to ride. If your shorter and thinner then I am you will probably have a very smooth ride. Bigger guys should be aware that it might take some getting used to the way this iSup rides.I contacted tower about the board, a short conversation on the phone. Basically they said the 14ft Xplorer would be a better option for me then the Adventurer 2 because of my height and weight. Others might want to keep that in mind. I decided to go with another iSup.

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

Summary - initially awesome but failed the test of time. (Broken pump, hole developed quickly on light use, incomplete patch kit)I love that these can be compressed and made more portable. We have a mini van and bought two and we can still fit in all the other supplies we need and the 5 kids.We were surprised at how hard they become when they are inflated, it was impressive.The only under-whelming thing was the pumps/hoses/connectors seem very cheap but they got the job done.The whole family loved them, they worked well for all but there was definitely a difference between me, at 6'4, 200 lbs, and the kids, when we used them. I think the longer/thicker one would be better for someone my size.While we have loved them we have been disappointed in several aspects.We had only used them 6 times when the pump became unusable for one of them. The hose stopped sealing to the pump and if you tried to tighten it more it would fall off.This wasn't too big of a deal since we purchased 2 of them and we had the second pump but I would have been pretty upset had I only had the one.A few uses later and a hole developed along the seam. It was the beginning of the season and we didn't stress too much because a patch kit was sent with it. I was still super disappointed though that a hole had developed after just a handful of uses on an open lake.So finally we went to seal the hole and we opened up the patch kit and there were 2 patches but no glue. I thought it wasn't a big deal, again, because we had two of them, but when we opened up the second tube there was no glue/cement either.So overall it has been pretty disappointing from a quality perspective but if you're just in it for a couple goes then this is the board for you.

Felt a little lunch dirty and got dirty really fast as it is white

The board is great! This got two stores because the paddle sank in under a minute. My son was paddle boarding and fell off. the paddle went with him. In the moment it took him to get his bearings grab and grab the board the paddle was gone. Given the expense of this set - I am disappointed I now have to go spend even more to replace the paddle. I read the reviews and looked at the companies website. All said the paddle would float. This was not the case for us. I recommend the board not the set.

The board has been great, but the pump fell apart on the third use. For the price tag, the pump should be better.

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.

This SUP doesn't support the weight specified in the discription. Gave it to my kids, it does hold 170 lbs. I exchanged emails with the manufacturer about the issue, they replied with tips on how to hold a paddle.

Thankfully. Seller was responsive to our issue. The sup is a little less stable than we would have liked and a real workout to inflate. But the portability is a definite plus.

Overall, a disappointing experience. I live on the Chattahoochee River and bought this paddle board, along with the electric pump months ago, and have only been able to use it 5-6 times (LOVED IT WHILE FUNCTIONAL). I am dying to get out there more, but keep encountering issues that prohibit it.I bought the electric pump because I am not strong enough to inflate the board to the appropriate PSI with the manual pump. Unfortunately, the pump broke after 2 uses, AND seems to have shorted out every 12 volt outlet (4 of them) in my SUV. Additionally, found the inflated paddle board deflated by 50% overnight, so I assumed I was dealing with a leak (again, TWO uses) as well, but wasn't sure as I didn't have a working pump.Tower replaced the pump quickly (thank you). I had a rental car, so I was able to use a 12 volt outlet to inflate the board. However, the PSI never registered beyond zero despite numerous attempts to re-inflate (letting the pump rest, etc). This could be due to the leak (I found one pinhole size one thus far on the top of the board), but the board stays inflated enough I was able to sit on it and paddle for a couple of hours last weekend without noticeable issues.So, I after 5 uses, I have a leaking paddle board (and of course can't locate the patch kit, so I'll have to order another - my fault), I have a second air pump that may or may not already be malfunctioning after 3 uses, and I now have a car with 4 non-working 12 volt outlets that will have to go to the dealership and probably cost me lots of money (I no longer have the rental) :-((I'll need to take the paddle board to a car wash, I guess, to locate the leak(s) - (as I don't have access to a hose in the complex), but have no way of inflating it to locate leak (s) once I get there.So I am pretty much stuck with $1400 in equipment I planned to use all summer (and into the fall) - and it has fallen completely short of reasonable expectations.Boo!

my paddle board came with a hole in it. I will update my review if and when this problem gets resolved

****PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE BUYING THIS PRODUCT IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE****So here it goes.... I bought this for mother day for my wife. She was looking for a board that could fit in her trunk of here car. I read all the amazing reviews on this product and figured this is a home run. The $800 price tag is steep but again I read everyone amazing reviews and figured its worth it. I have used stand up paddle boards for year this is not my first experience.Product came nice and quick. I unpacked it my first impression was I was very impressed seems like a great product as everyone else has stated. The only thing I didn't like was the hand pump cheesy hard plastic hose looks like It could last a week or two before cracking....Filled up it was easy pretty quick and again I was very impressed on how everything worked and looked. Put it in the water and it very stable handles great and tons of fun to use!.....until 5 minutes later....*****THE BAD*****After paddling about a mile away from the dock I started circling a little island while going around the shore line the board bumped in to something and it ruptured! with in 15 seconds all the air was out of the board and I was in 52 degree water. Thankfully I was close to the island and swam to it. Freezing cold I dragged the deflated board back up on the shore still wondering what happened. I waited on the shore line for what felt like hour till a boat passed I waved them down but they refused to pick me up because it was very shallow in the area I was in. They phoned 911 for me and minutes later the marine police picked me up.Long story short these boards are a silly novelty and actually pretty dangerous if you plan on going any distance from where you launched from. Lets not forget the $800 price tag??? for the boarding I do ill stick with a conventional paddle board...All I hope is if someone is reading this hopefully this saves there life.See attached picture's

Timely delivery and super packaging however when I finally opened it either I'm confused or misread the description. I was in receipt of a pump with no hose or gauge as pictured, nor was there a center fin.i guess these are extra?? Though the package and product were securely packaged, I can't help but wonder if this is one that slipped through quality control or I totally missed something. So for now, review is one star until I get my missing pieces issue resolved. Kinda bummed because I was looking forward to getting out on the lake this weekend with friends. :-(
