SereneLife XL Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board - Pet-Friendly SUP for Adults and Pets - Extra-Wide Stable Design with Non-Slip EVA Deck Pad, Premium SUP Accessories, 440/485 lbs

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.

Loving the paddleboard so far. I'm about 6ft 210lbs and the board feels sturdy inflated to 14.5psi. The included D rings make it easy to attach a kayak seat and other accessories. The included double action pump worked fine but I got an electric inflator to speed up the process. The board feels stable both standing up solo and sitting with a child.

I'm giving this 5 stars because the board is great--sturdy, light and easy to use and super inexpensive. I've been on the river 4 times in the last week enjoying the water and scenery! There are a couple of minor issues. The top of the paddle didn't fit tightly in its holder, so it can slide down. I ended up getting a different paddle, but it was a pretty decent paddle otherwise. There is probably a way to tighten the connection that I don't know about, so don't let that discourage you from getting it...and I could still use the paddle if I was careful. The pump worked, but it is QUITE the work out, especially getting it past 7 PSI. I was able, with effort, to get it to 10. The first time I used it I under inflated it (7 psi) and that was a mistake. Keep inflating and use those arm muscles! I have ordered an electric SUP pump. The only other issue I have had is one of the back pack straps on the bag broke, but I can still carry it with the other straps. If you are looking for an inexpensive SUP, or to try out paddle boarding, this is a great entry into the market.

Easy set up and use. Seems to be of good quality and make. We purchased two and both came with different accessories even though they were priced the same. Our mistake, we assumed the accessories were all the same.

Love this paddleboard - so much that we went out and bought a second one after trying it for a day. Very easy to use and inflate (I would recommend buying an electric pump to inflate). Very stable and glides easily through the water.Got to get up close to some dolphins who don't seem to mind it at all so that was an extra bonus!Ditching my heavy kayak from now on!

I’ve had my paddle boards for 5 years and they are still in great condition. They are sturdy! We have been very rough with them dragging them through rocks and exploring at least 30 lakes. I highly recommend! I would buy an air pump for quick inflation.
