SereneLife Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board - Wide Stable Design, Non-Slip Deck for Adults & Youth with Premium Paddle Board Accessories, Carry Bag, Dual Action Pump, Paddle, Ankle Leash

Purchased as an alternative to my hard SUP, primarily for easier transport to my destination and between parking and the water. I read a lot of reviews before buying which were overall positive, but also many contradictory, so I wasn't sure what to expect regarding inflating the board and stability. I have now inflated the board four times and used it twice on the water.The first time I inflated it at home to practice and test. No problems. The second time I took it to a lake, inflated it, but couldn't find the screw that holds the center fin. It was a bit windy and I'd read comments about the board being hard to control without the fin, so I opted to use another craft I'd brought along. I'm not sure when or how the screw came out of the fin. I emailed Pyle Customer Support directly and without issue they kindly sent me a replacement no charge. The screw in the new fin has a piece that prevents it from unscrewing all the way out. The original either didn't have this or it didn't work. I'll eventually get around to finding the correct size screw for a backup.The two times I've used the inflatable SUP have been excellent! It is so nice to be able to just put the bag in the car and go. Inflating is simple, taking me about 9 minutes with the hand pump. It's obviously significantly lighter than a hard board, and the handle makes it easy to carry to the water. I found the board to be surprisingly stable when standing, and easier on my back (than the hard board) when sitting. I do not have the optional seat back and I don't feel that I need it. Deflating is also simple, again taking me less than 10 minutes, including drying the board completely, rolling it up, putting it back in the bag and car.I love it. My pros are easy transport, time and effort saving, great experience on the water, great customer service, definitely worth the price. My only con is that it comes with a single-bladed paddle. I already had an adjustable double-bladed paddle, which is a must for me when sitting. I'm hopeful I'll get many more uses out of this inflatable board.Best practices for me: I use the dual-action setting on the manual pump to inflate the board until psi begins to register, which takes me 4-5 minutes, then I switch to single-action. 0-10 psi takes me 3-4 minutes, and 10-13 or 14 psi takes another minute. Use body weight, not arms. So far I've only inflated to 13-14 psi, which worked well for me. For deflation, I remove the plug and as it deflates I wipe to dry completely. Then I just roll remaining air out. Done. It comes with a strap to hold it together rolled, which I find helpful, but not necessary.

Excellent board. Stable and glides well. The detachable fin is a nice feature. It packs up nicely and with an electric pump it is very quick to inflate.

I am 6'6, 200 lbs in early 50's. Setting up the board was not the easiest. Actually, it is pretty simple but time consuming with the enclosed pump. I am a total beginner. Did SUP maybe 3 times in my life. I was able to get up right away and enjoy my time. The board moves nicely and it feels stable. I used it at the sea of Cortez. It wasn't too still but good enough for SUPing. And, yes, the board is really cheap! We will see about the longevity.

Overall good product, the quality of the paddle board seems great, the package comes with everything you need to hit the water.The customer service of the seller is really good and the associates are very prompt and offer constant updates. One thing that could be improved is the fin quality and design of connecting it with paddle-board with a screw.I bought this paddle board in July but didn't get an opportunity to use it due to a missing fin. Upon informing the seller, they promptly sent us another one and finally we were able to use the paddle board yesterday. It took us less than 10 mins to inflate the paddle board with the air pump that came with it and hit the water after connecting the fin by tightening the screw to the paddle.The first 20 mins or so the paddle board worked very well, and the maneuvering was super easy but after around 20mins we were struggling to turn the paddle so came back shore and realized the fin was broken. The screw that connected the fin with the paddle was intact however the rest of the fin was missing. I'm bummed that we couldn't enjoy the paddle board on a perfect day due to the broken fin. I would be reaching out to the seller for replacement.Qualitywise everything else looks good. The paddle board comes with a bag which is decent and makes carrying the paddle board easy.
