Good value and quick delivery!

Good value and quick delivery! The only weak part is the hand pump. It seems too light weight to push much air into the board. I ended up purchasing a battery powered pump specifically for kayaks and paddle boards which makes is super easy to inflate. Definitely love the set up.

I am over the moon

I am over the moon happy with my Rising Flow paddle board! It's my first paddle board too!! It's very well constructed and designed, so pretty to look at! I am easily able to stand up on it and paddle without worry of falling, it has a nice balanced speed on the water!

I read a lot of

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this board. I was debating a hard vs inflatable board but didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't use it. This board came on sale during Prime Days and I'm so happy I purchased it.

This is our first paddle

This is our first paddle board. And absolutely love it simple, thick and durable. Love the backpack bag makes it easy to haul around. Our dog loves it also super easy to get her on it at the shore. It's a great addition to our camping and outdoor activities.

I was looking for a

I was looking for a stable and light board for me and the family. This one is perfect. Light enough that I can carry myself and stable enough for the roughest conditions on our near by lakes. The build quality is excellent and it offers a great top deck surface that provides really good traction without being rough. Highly recommend this board for any skill level.

I have 3 different brands

I have 3 different brands of inflatable SUP and I like this one the best. Of the 3, it is the most light-weight (18 lbs), easiest to stand up on and easiest to move and turn in the water. The pump is also easier to use than the ones that came with the other brand boards. It has D-rings at mid-point and towards the back of the board so I have tried a kayak seat on it and that works great too. I did have one issue: the decking was coming unglued a little bit from the board at the tips near the inflation valve. I contacted PyleSupport - they have been very responsive, called me to discuss and shipped me glue directly (the board comes with glue but the glue cannot be shipped thru Amazon without special procedures). It doesn't affect the performance of the board and I am confident the glue fixed the issue. I will update if it doesn't end up holding but my husband says it should be hold, no problem. I'd definitely recommend this board.

I got this paddle boarding

I got this paddle boarding at the beginning of this summer so I’ve had it about 6 months now and it was probably one of my best purchases. I was concerned with the quality because the price is a lot lower then most boards but I don’t have any complaints/problems with it and I use it every week. This is an amazing board blowing it up is a workout it normally takes me about 10 mins but it gets easier the more you do it, its also super light to carry, and packs up very well. It is still in amazing condition because I’m very good about taking care of it, I wash it after every use which I recommend doing if you want to get a lot of life out of it. The fin can be kinda stubborn to take off sometimes so be patient with it and I did end up putting some white duck tape (see pics) over the seams on the paddle because I did catch the plastic piece on my hand the wrong way a few times and scratched myself but nothing major. This is a great board for beginners to learn and start out with, there definitely are higher quality boards out there but this one is a great option for anyone who doesn’t have a big budget and wants a quality product.

I bought this from Amazon

I bought this from Amazon for my family to use on outings when renting is not convenient or possible. We prefer a fiberglass 12' board for our teen girls and a hard kayak for our son, but this will give us the ability to go out on smaller lakes without having to rent or put a large board on a roof rack. We typically use the SUPs as moving swim platforms wherever we go in the Fingerlakes and Lake Ontario region. Usually two people will ride on one board. So far I have only taken the board for a test paddle once in Onondaga Lake by myself. It was pretty windy with a 10 knot breeze and small 6" ripples. The board fared well for an inflatable. It was as stiff as any other inflatable I have used. It had good stability, nice padding under my feet, and a relatively high natural frequency (not too bouncy). I only inflated to 5 psi, so according to the label on the board I could have added 10 psi of air pressure if I wanted to increase the stiffness. The fins allowed excellent tracking in the wind. The paddle held up well and seemed to be well made. The board was surprisingly light. The handle seemed robust. The ankle strap was well made and included a rotating joint and nicely padded cuff. There are lots of well attached d-rings. Inflation and deflation were easy.

The board: This is my

The board: This is my first paddle board and my first time paddle boarding so I probably don’t know everything there is to know. BUT, I would think that if it’s something you are supposed to stand on and feel stable, the board should be level, right?? When I look at my board while in the water and facing the front of it, the right side of the board (left side when looking at it straight on) sticks higher out of the water than the other side. Even while sitting on it (because I’m not comfortable standing), I feel like I’m lopsided or not sitting in the middle of the board (but I am). We’ve taken it to the lake a few times and have had fun regardless. I think I’ll just use it more as a SDP (sit down paddle board) lol. Overall though, it seems to be made of a pretty durable material and the colors are nice. I like that it has 4 D rings (2 on each side) so that I can attach a kayak seat to it ;)The pump: I am glad this board came with the double action pump because it definitely helps inflate it a little faster. It doesn’t start registering psi until it gets to about 5 (so don’t think the gauge is busted). When you get to about 7 or 8 psi, you’ll want to switch it to single action pumping by flipping the little dial on the pump. It took me about 7-8 minutes (resting a few times) to get it to 13psi.Also, make sure you turn the inner part of the valve on the board counter clockwise before pumping, otherwise when you remove the pump from the valve, all of your hard work will come spewing out and you’ll have to do it all over again. When deflating, you turn the little valve clockwise to leave it open so while you’re rolling it up, you don’t need someone holding the valve down. Just remember to turn it back counterclockwise when done so that you don’t lose all the air the next time you pump it up.The bag: The bag seems durable (material wise) and the size is okay. It could use a few more inches. You have to get your board rolled pretty tight if you want all of the other s.

I purchased 2 of these

I purchased 2 of these Inflatable Stand-Up Paddleboards just over a year ago. So far, we've used them about 10 times each in a variety of bodies of water. Thus far, they have performed excellent and have honestly exceeded my expectations. I'm not sure what I can add that others haven't added but here are a few key points:- When you are finished inflating and are about to disconnect the inflator valve from the board, it is CRITICAL (IT IS CRITICAL) to twist it and remove it quickly. Otherwise, the valve sticks open and you will lose air very quickly. For those that just finished breaking a sweat using the included manual pump, it is extremely discouraging to lose all that air so quickly.- The storage bag is great. It can be difficult to fit everything in it when packing up, so I suggest placing the rolled up board in first, then positioning the other parts (air pump, paddle, etc) around it.- Like others, it becomes tiring and difficult to get to 10-15 psi. After just using the pump, you may feel tired enough to not want to even go out on the paddleboard any longer. After several times of using the pump (and having to pump up 2 since my girlfriend wasn't able to get it to 15 psi), we've purchased a car tire inflator that uses an automobile 12V socket and the adapter for the SUP valve. We typically pump it to 5 psi then use the portable inflator. This allows us to relax and get our packs together while the boards are finished pumping. I'd estimate that it takes about 15-20 min for 2 board to get from 5 to 15 psi, but it is worth the $$$ and saving your strength for paddling.- My detachable fin broke when I accidently sat on my board in shallow water and it sheared off on a rock. Customer support was understanding and after some back-and-forth verification of my board model and fin type, they sent a new one out to me. Awesome customer support!All-in-all, I'm very happy with this board and would definitely purchase it again!

Purchased two of these SUPs

Purchased two of these SUPs in December 2018 and started using them in earnest summer of 2019 continuing through to date. Riding around the bays of Ocean City, MD and Fenwick Island, DE for the most part, but we've also taken them on road trips around the US.The boards are fun and dependable, almost two years later they show a bit of wear as to be expected, but no leaks or other issues to impair use of the boards. Inflating is simple and a reasonably good warm up for the paddling that follows. Deflating is easy as well, and if you take about 10 mins to wipe them down as you roll them up they fit into the storage backpack, along with all accessories, cleanly & easily.I wouldn't want to hike miles with the backpack, but for a couple hundred yards it's not bad at all and the onboard straps mean you can tie down the backpack, pump, and everything else with you as you board.These are fun and stable boards, good to learn how to board on and fun in calm water or small waves. The boards are stable enough for yoga, pushups, and similar exercises as well which are that much more satisfying when done on the water.I'm writing this review 19 months later though for one main purpose -- had my first issue a few weeks ago, one of the pumps that came with the board broke. I contacted SereneLife customer support, explained the issue, and despite being past the one yer warranty they shipped me a new pump free of charge and without any hassle.If you are in the market for a beginner inflatable SUP or a very stable board for exercise I'd strongly recommend this board. Even stronger recommendation for SereneLife's outstanding customer service.

I love this board! I

I love this board! I saw all the great reviews and of course get skeptical, but it truly lives up to it. It takes about 5-10 minutes to pump up and the pump has a nice pressure gauge on it. You'll def get strong arms! Then carrying it is simple with the handle. Everything you need is included (pump, phone holder, leg strap, collapsible paddle, repair kit, etc. I threw on some battery powered lights to make mine easily usable at night as well. Stability is not bad at all and it feels solid once blown up. I've only been on a foam board a few times compared to this but I picked it up pretty quick. I think the three fin design helps with that. Deflating is also pretty easy with the valve and the pump having a deflate option. Another nice feature is the gopro mount up front! The only thing I would like to do next is get a seat for it so I can try it out in a kayak style mode. It has anchors built in for that too.

My husband paid twice as

My husband paid twice as much for a "higher quality" board. Guess what? It is about the same with the exception that his paddle is carbon and mine is some type of light weight aluminum, and I honestly can't tell the difference. Also, his bag is a little nicer and easier to fit everything in (the bag for this SUP is very tight). They both maneuver about the same. He recently admitted that this looked too "girly" for him and that's why he spent twice as much. So, if you are a guy and can get over the mildly pastel color scheme, this is a great buy. We recently paddled in Tahoe and it was spectacular. You can see so much on a paddle board and they are more fun to ride and definitely more versatile than kayaking. You can sit, kneel or stand, and I usually do all three when I'm on the board. I am are really happy with my purchase!

So far the value for

So far the value for the price has surpassed my expectations! I bought it for $347 and it's my first iSUP, so I figured I didn't want to spend much off the bat in case I didn't like it, and this one got good reviews. So far so good, and the kit is great! It's nice having everything all at once. As mentioned by other reviewers, the bag feels a bit cheap (mostly the zipper), but so far it's done its job.The iSUP itself is really pretty (and somewhat as important, it also floats and has held air for 3 days). The material and D rings feel pretty sturdy and the foot grip is definitely grippy. It's a bit less steady overall than I hoped for, but I'm also 5'8", so maybe if you're shorter it wouldn't be as bad. It could also just be me. However, it's definitely not stopping me from using it and I haven't fallen off...yet.The paddle seems good and is a better quality than I expected after some reviews. It feels strong enough and I don't envision it breaking anytime soon. It's also adjustable, so it's good for any height.The ankle leash is actually pretty heavy, but once on you don't really notice it.The repair kit is just an orange tube with a few patches. I suppose we purchase our own adhesive, if needed.The one thing I wish it came with is better instructions for blowing it up and deflating it. I consider myself to be fairly fit, so it surprised me that it took around 20 minutes to inflate it when most said it could be done in 10. A quick internet search was a huge help, but only after I worked twice as hard at pumping it up. I've included some tips below to help others along. As for the pump quality, it seems pretty average. Felt sturdy enough, gets the job done, and I honestly wasn't expecting much more than what it is.***Tips for Pumping Up and Deflating***-The pump has two settings controlled by a tear-shaped swivel thingy near the top of the pump body. When pumping up your iSUP, swivel the tear-shaped setting to the right. This is the double action pump setting; mean.

I bought this on my

I bought this on my own, was not compensated in any way for my review. My sister and I both got these for some social distancing this summer and I can say, I AM IN LOVE. For the price, it feels so surprisingly stable and includes everything you need (except for a personal floatation device, swimsuit, and whistle!). When you fill it up to 15 psi with the pump it comes with, it is super solid. I've only taken it out once but filled it and deflated/packed it up twice. Easy to toss in the trunk of my car. The backpack is handy, though I can't really see fitting the pump in it easily with the SUP and paddle, I just leave the pump in my car. I wouldn't carry it super long distances like on a big hike, but getting to the water is easy enough. I had no problems inflating, though the last bit is tiring! The trick here is to lean into it and let your weight do the work.A note: the customer service has been great too, I was missing the adhesive glue in the repair kit that it comes with and emailed them, and they replied back right away and sent me 2 missing tubes of adhesive using 2-day shipping. They were some of the most responsive customer service folks I've ever worked with!One more thing: I fell off and it wasn't scary, it was pretty soft to hit the board and roll awkwardly into the water. The only thing damaged was my ego. :-) If you've never done this before, DO IT! It's so fun and peaceful. If you have trouble standing up, try looking at the horizon and not at your feet.Can't wait to get back on the water again!

UPDATE Went to buy

UPDATE Went to buy another one.. NOW they are double the price. The owner has doubled the price!!! SHAME. Wait, make them come down. That is rediculous. They will be available again for $300 just WAIT. The price gouging is HORRIFICI gave this a five star for easy to inflate, but that being said it does take some physical elbow grease. You will be pumping for a while a good solid 15 minutes and it is exhausting but that is not a difficult thing it is just physically difficult. Overall these boards, we bought two of them, worked out amazing! They ride as if they are hard boards in fact my girlfriend was carrying one and didn't even realize it was inflatable They are that convincing. They track great, very little squirrelliness depends on how skilled you are. We are still technically beginners, only been a handful of times and we were using hard boards prior. I am completely sold on these and could not recommend going back to hardboards after using these they are wonderful and so much easier to carry and track around ! In fact, they pack up so nicely I think we are going to take them to Maui with us instead of renting next year. The paddles do float but just the very handle, the rest of the pedal tends to sink so keep an eye out when you fall or when you drop them.

This SUP is wonderful.

This SUP is wonderful. We bought two last summer for our new lake house because we wanted to have something easy to use in order to get out on the lake right away and this seemed like a great option for all. They come in a backpack with everything you need to begin using immediately. Once inflated they are extremely rigid and durable and have the sturdy steady feel of a solid board. They are great to use for what they are designed for with the included paddle but I love to take one out on the lake with a kayak paddle and a book and just lay out in the sun and read. At the end of the season I deflated both boards and removed the removable middle fin. This summer I must have done something wrong when I reinflated the boards and attached the middle fin. Maybe I was in such a rush that I didn't make sure they were secured properly. Within two weeks both middle fins broke off. I was so upset because I went online and searched high and low to find a replacement fin when the first one broke and couldn't find the exact one for this model. I found a surf shop that *might* have one - for $75! A plastic fin! Finally it occured to me to just ask the company directly. After a quick conversation and proof of purchase they were more than happy to send me a replacement fin complerely free of charge. When does that happen?? Days later when the next one broke I asked again and offered to pay at least even for shipping and they wouldn't hear of it. So far I got one and I expect the other any day now. I couldn't be more pleased with everyting about this purchase!

We needed an extra board

We needed an extra board for our boys. We have two of the IRocker SUP currently. This seemed like a good fit and a great price. The design is cool you can tell its on the less expensive side as far as paddleboards go but it doesn't feel cheap if that makes sense. Its lightweight. My 12 year old could carry this with not too much difficulty. It rolls up fairly compact. The pump is a typical pump you would find with a SUP but definitely still spend the money for an electric pump. It will get exhausting trying to hand inflate any SUP. This was a perfect purchase for what we needed....an extra board for the occasional use. Would be a good starter board for anyone looking to try out SUP.

The board I received had

The board I received had a defect, but I’m giving it 5 stars because I was extremely impressed and satisfied with their customer service!!Upon inflating the board, I noticed it had a twist/warp to it, which is wasn’t too happy with. So I contacted the company (Pyle) and expressed my frustration. They were very quick to respond, and after a few exchanges of questions, pictures, & documents, they offered to send me a new one free of charge since I wasn’t happy with the one I had (& even gave me multiple options to pick from).Just received the new one, and it’s perfect with no issues. Extremely impressed and satisfied, I’ll definitely buy their Products again since they stand behind them and their customer service is outstanding.Definitely recommend!!!!!

I ordered this product because

I ordered this product because it has a large deck with a grippy surface and it also has the optional kayak seat. I inflated it in my living room and it was pretty easy. Only concern I had was that the instructions said to inflate it to 15 PSI but we could not get it more than about 8-10 PSI according to the pump that was included. To ensure it had no leaks I left it inflated for several days and it was still rock hard. When I deflated it, simply unscrewed the cap and pushed in the valve then rolled it up - super easy. I will update once I get it on the water hopefully soon. Thanks!
