Bestway Hydro-Force White Cap 10' Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Kayak Water Set with Aluminum Oar, Hand Pump, and Travel Bag, White

You won't regret getting this board! I got it a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to wait until I used it to leave a review. First, I'll admit it took me a minute to figure out all the parts and pieces, since this was my first inflatable paddle board (I have another solid board). Included in the box are the following: 1 board with attached fins (they don't come off), a handle and 2 attachable paddles for switching between either SUP or kayaking, a kayak seat and footrest, a leash, a carrying pack, and a pump with a PSI gauge.Here are some important things to note:1. the PSI gauge is in a tiny styrofoam box from shipping. I couldn't find it at first because when I pulled the board out of the box, some styrofoam slipped off of the fins and fell to the bottom of the box. The gauge was mixed in with the fallen styrofoam. Don't accidentally throw it out.2. It takes about 10-15 minutes to pump up. I'm a 5'1, 22 y/o, and I didn't have a problem.3. Deflating the board is a bit challenging at first. You have to press the spring and turn it clockwise to let out a burst of air. I laid on my board to expel as much air as possible before starting at the front end and rolling it as tightly as I could so it would fit into the carrying pack.4. The backpack carrying pack doesn't fit everything. Once I deflated the board, I fit the board, the handle and one paddle, the leash, and the gauge into the backpack. That means the pump would need to be carried separately. Also, if I wanted to kayak, I would have to carry the seat and the other paddle in a different bag. This is definitely not a problem, just something to note. Someone more creative than me might be able to get everything in there, but it wasn't worth the hassle to me.5. The backpack (filled as I described above) was not hard to carry AT ALL. It has a lot of comfortable straps and fit on my back nicely. I could take a short hike to a cool, remote lake with this thing on my back, while carrying the pump in a separate bag, and with my dog on a leash - all at the same time.As for how it rides, you would never know this board was inflatable. It glides over the water, and the kayaking feature is really nice for longer rides. The grip on the board is great for anyone who might not be comfortable on the board. You could teach someone how to SUP on this easily. I have a tiny car and the carrying pack makes everything easy to transport so the normally cumbersome process of strapping a board to racks on the top of a vehicle is eliminated. The whole process (including the fun of actually using the board) is a total win. Great job, HydroForce. You definitely have a happy customer, and I would buy this again if anything happened to it.I would be happy to post photos as well!

First, let me just say that I am PETITE. I am 5'1" and 97 lbs. I am also a 53 year old athletic woman. I own a kayak and purchased this because it has become difficult getting the kayak in the water alone. So I was hoping this paddle board would become the ticket I needed to fill the need for me being able to get this in my car and the water ALONE. I am happy to report, it did the trick. I can now sell my Kayak.I received this 3 days earlier than expected. Which was good because I was upset I wasn't going to have it for the weekend, but I did. Although it was Prime, for some reason, after I purchased it, it said I would not have it until 5 days later. However, I did receive it two days after I ordered it. It was a good sign of things to come.Everything arrived in perfect condition. The box is big and pretty heavy. FedEx did a great job with delivery. Once I removed everything, I was delighted to see the quality of the paddle board. I saw some little bumps as another reviewer stated, but once inflated, they are gone. Even if they stayed, I would not have cared as the quality is exceptional regardless. As others stated, it was easy to pump up until the last 5 psi. It took about 20 minutes total. I suggest that in the end stretch, lock your arms and use the weight of your body to pump it. The pump is fine. It worked wonderfully. Nothing wrong with it. As I said, I'm 97 lbs. if I can handle it, an average size adult should not have a problem. Just lock your arms and use the weight of your body on the pump, not arm strength.Once inflated, I was blown away at the quality of this board. Keep in mind, this paddle board is 10 ft. It's a normal size paddle board. If your looking for a shorter board, this is not the one to purchase. It may be a bit lighter to carry, but it's a standard size board. Again, this board is SOLID!On the water today (I live in Fort Lauderdale so I took it out in the intercoastal which leads to the Atlantic Ocean). I was blown away at its performance. It was steady as can be. It maneuvered amazingly. The paddle was fine. It's not heavy (coming from a 97 lb woman). I used it both as Kayak style (without the seat) and standup. This board is buoyant as can be. It performed and maneuvered perfectly.This board is lighter than a normal board but it is still cumbersome. If you are my size and not in good shape, this board will be a handful. I say that because it's a regular size paddle board. It's not shorter. It's only a bit lighter. The only difference in this board and a non inflatable SUP is the weight. Other than that, you are getting a lighter paddle board of incredible quality. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.
