Great iSup - Likely exactly what you're looking for
This board is great. I've used hard boards in the past and had a blast. This board feels almost identical and fits conveniently in the trunk of my Civic. It's just as stable, almost as fast, and turns much easier since it sits higher in the water. I've since bought a different iSUP so that I have one for friends to borrow but it was no where near the quality of this board.
Pros:
inexpensive but of excellent quality
very stable (My kids ages 5, 7, and 9 can navigate the shore with it)
turns tightly
surprisingly fast
bungees are handy
everything you need included (including leash and pump)
Cons:
subjectively, there are cooler looking boards
the aluminum paddle is heavy and unbalanced but there are lots of paddles that cost more than this whole board package
I had a bit of experience and did a substantial amount of research before I pulled the trigger on this board. I highly recommend this as an intro SUP. I also recommend getting a lighter paddle and an electric pump. I just use my cheap Ryobi air pump to get it 90% inflated and finish it quickly with the manual pump to get the required pressure.
