FBSPORT Premium Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board for Yoga & Surfing | Wide Stance SUP with Non-Slip Deck | Includes Paddle, Pump, Leash & Carry Bag | Perfect for Lakes, Oceans & Rivers | Youth & Adult Use

First of all, you are buying a $170 inflatable paddle board. It's not going to feel like a hard SUP - more like a hybrid surfboard. I honestly impulse bought this one because of the pretty colors, but I am pleasantly surprised at how well it holds up. To be clear, it's going to feel a little bit wobbly just because it's more buoyant than a hard board, but it's lightweight/easy to transport and super sturdy - stable enough to do yoga on, yet hurts less to faceplant on when curious marine life try to say hello while you're practicing arm balance tricks.Yes, there are plenty of things to complain about (see below) but for the most part, the negative reviews are user error.Examples:1. The pump valve on the board does not leak. It has an "open" and "closed" position. Turn it to "open" to let air in and out. Turn it to "closed" to seal it. This isn't rocket surgery.2. The PSI gauge works exactly how it's supposed to. You just have to keep pumping up enough for it to register. It can't register until the board is firm. (PS. You're a nut if you pump it up manually. An air compressor will make your life 100x easier.)3. The board is plenty sturdy if you correctly inflate it to the recommended PSI (see above). It will feel like you're going to pop it around ~5 PSI. Don't worry. You won't. Take it to at least ~10. I keep mine between 11-12 just to account for heat and sun exposure/air expansion. It'll work much better than assuming the pump gauge is broken and stopping as soon as you feel pushback.4. The fin is self-explanatory. Just look at the orientation of the other fins and put the single peg in the one hole? There's a clicky thing on the clip. Press it.5. The adjustable handle part of the paddle doesn't fall out if you tighten the screw. Use the little flappy thing on the latch to turn the screw until it's just right for easily locking and unlocking.6. The buckles/straps on the bag are also self-explanatory. Have you literally never seen a backpack before? Put the thing through the other thing. And then all of the other things clip together. Okay, I'm getting snarky. I'll stop.7. The reason the extra shoulder strap doesn't have anything to clip to on the bag itself is because it attaches to the little D-rings on your board.8. Everything (yes, everything!) fits perfectly neatly into the bag if you make sure to fold your board between the small fins and the large one (don't forget to detach it first). If it still doesn't fit, get better at Tetris.Okay? Now, here are the things you ought to actually be wary of: The accessories are cheap. The paddle DOES NOT FLOAT. You will lose it forever if you drop it in deep water. Pack an extra one or strap a floaty onto yours. Also, it comes in 3 pieces, 2 of which are held together by 1 single tiny button (like you would find on an adjustable cane). The adjustable handle part is actually pretty cool, though - once you figure out how to tighten the lock (see above). The velcro for the ankle leash is poorly sewn. The leash itself is kinda cheap and weird how it's attached. The storage bungee is held together with a giant wad of electrical tape. The seams on the board were a rush job and it shows. And the whole thing smells like rubber gloves/balloons.Conclusion: Is this a reasonable investment for the price? Absolutely! It's the exact same quality as my friend's $500 inflatable board. Are "real" boards nicer? Of course, but whether or not it's worth the difference is up to you. $170 is honestly a steal for those who don't have a car rack. 4/5 STARS!Product came as advertised.The board inflates and stays inflated.Works VERY Well and has a great carrying strap that clicks into the side rings. There are ONLY 2 side rings to help carry the board. Not 4 rings total on both sides to add a seat. That is needed to clarify. Other than that. It is great.The bag is a decent quality bag that should last a while, depending on care, so I can always use it to hold the board.The pump works well to pump it up. It is a SUP board and takes 10min to pump up correctly.The pump at least allows double pump action and then when it gets harder I can unscrew a cap and single pump action to get the higher needed pressure.The board and paddle work fantastic. I love going out on the water and the enjoyment this product brings. Thank you for the quality.Realize the paddle has clamps that seem too loose to hold the paddle together. You just have to spin the clamping part right a little more to tighten it and then you can use it to clamp down to desired holding strength. Not the nut on the other side. That stays secure so you can spin the clamping part on the other side to tighten.If the board is closer to 13lbs pressure then a little more stable to stand. It is a 31.5 inch board so not as stable as a 36 but stable enough to enjoy strengthening muscles as I stand and paddle. HINT: Micro bend in the knees.I have been having a lot of fun on this board. We are going to buy another board soon.This board is a lot of fun! BUT - the second time we inflated this paddleboard, three bumps appeared under the foam padding. I am certain that we did not overinflate it - we were using the handheld pump that came with it, and watching the gauge, and stopping the instant it reached 15 PSI because pumping it is strenuous work especially at the end.The third time we used it, the bumps were there again. The fourth time, no bumps appeared.To be honest this seemed like a weird flaw and it really concerned me. We contacted FB Sport and they said it didn't affect the performance of the board, not to worry. We were still within the return window, but we decided to keep the board instead of returning it and going directly to a landfill. I hope it lasts.Likes: they are as advertised, my sister-in-law said it was more sturdy than her slightly more narrow board, still in good shape after a year of use, I’ve made beautiful memories on mineMeh: center fin fell off (probably didn’t secure it properly) and the replacement was overpriced, design is just okay, paddle is okay quality, need a bigger board for bigger ridersTip: Het an electric pump. When it’s hot and humid, (Florida girl here) it’s kinda miserable hand pumping, especially if you have to do two! (I usually do when we have visitors).For the price you really can’t beat it. Somewhat easy to inflate I was expecting it to take longer. Little bit of an arm workout but not bad. At around 11 or 12 psi it’s pretty sturdy and rigid. It says max psi is 15 but that’s the absolute maximum. 10 to 12 Psi will do the job Just fine. The spring valve can be locked if you push it down and then twist it so make sure it’s unlocked when you go to pump it up so when you pull off the pump nozzle the air doesn’t release right away. It’ll take some time to figure out how to balance on it but I figured it out my first day it’s not to hard. Overall I’m very happy with it especially at the price that I got it for. Lots of fun! Can’t wait to get back out on the lake!Bonne qualité-prix pour ce paddle. Très contente de mon choix. Seul bémol, la couleur blanche sur le côté peut tâcher si elle n'est pas bien nettoyée
