Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a much needed review for the board. I have no idea about the bag yet. We took it out today. The hand pump works well, but oooh it's a work out as all hand pumps to 15 psi will be. No manuals or instructions made navigating the items a little scary. The electric pump works like a champ. It needs a 12v battery. I hoofed it around town until I finally realized I can use my car Doh! (Obviously keep the car on, dead batteries = no fun) It took about 8-10minutes to inflate, just when I was worried it was over inflating (this board is rock hard) the machine slowed to a stop at the preset 12 PSI. Since I was out in bright sun, it said not to go to full 15. The fin is very easy to secure. The carry bag is easy to carry; it's mesh so hopefully it will hold up. The board has good gripping, no feelings of slipping at all. I weight 140 and 5'4" it swayed a bit, but when I added my 70lb son it navigated perfectly. A cooler will fix that next time, or just some more experience/time. The board colors are nice, but the white gets dirty quick but is also easy to clean. The deflate was super quick. Rolling it was pretty easy as well. I'm not sure if the oar floats, I will try that next time in clearer water. The handle on the middle of the board is handy, very easy to carry. My suction cup cooler didn't stick the board's texture, I'm wondering if the heavy duty suction cups will be better. The tie down is spacious and held what I needed. You can see in the pictures that the board does not go beneath the surface much at all. I've tried a few others when renting, and so far this one seems just as good. I'm happy! I hope this review helps.
