Roc Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Boards with Premium SUP Paddle Board Accessories, Wide Stable Design, Non-Slip Comfort Deck for Youth & Adults

I am not Denise, I am Ed, her husband.We have very nice sit on top kayaks that we have enjoyed, they are not the cheap light ones, but pretty heavy ones and they were getting a bit much to load, even though we had tugs to wheel them to the water, sand and slopes, etc, made that a challenge too as we are older and retired. This past week we were on vacation at a lake and saw all of these inflatable paddle boards that people were easily carrying and using and having fun, and they looked like fun. SO...... we decided to look into it, my wife purchased one from COSTCO, a Body Glove make, which has not arrived yet, while I researched on Amazon and saw all of the favorable comments on this brand. I ordered it on the 24th and received it today, the 27th, just 3 days later. I really didn't know what to expect, I opened the box and went to pumping it up. Its a very tight fitting where the pump hose connects, but doable with your hand and some grunt...... I began to pump, quickly it started to fill, and i thought what were those folks whining about pumping it up with the supplied pump......well, to get to those last 5 pounds of the recommended 15, yikes..... I know now, but goodness, this thing is as tight and firm to where I now see how folks look so stable on them. I wanted to pick it up to see what it would feel like to carry, a piece of cake, called my wife to grab it and she said this was perfect, she even said she might want this one instead of the one she ordered with is over 100 bucks more and doesn't have the kayak seat but it does have a electric pump.....So far everything else is still in the box, I just wanted to share my first impression with others as I know buying stuff online can be daunting......I will try it out on water later this week after hers arrives, but as of now, this one is a keeper, but I see they are selling quick...... so you might want to hurry.

My friends have had paddle boards for years and we've gone and played with them a few times and it was a lot of fun. I have a kayak so I would always go with that but got really frustrated by not being able to get into the water whenever I wanted like my friends on the paddle boards.For my birthday my husband said to do some research and pick one out for myself. After looking into solid vs inflatable I decided that was the route I wanted to go based on our lifestyle. ROC came up on a list of reviews and after looking into it more realized this was actually something in my budget! I was stoked. The website was basically sold out of everything since it's August, but had an option to win a free board. I decided to try my luck and noticed on their win entries page they had an Amazon page with a few still in stock. I immediately bought it and was so excited to try it out.Things I love:The bag fits everything so easily with room to spare so I'm not cramming it back in like a Christmas tree boxThe board is easy to inflate and has a pressure gauge that tells me when it's full enough.The kit came with a kayak paddle attachment, even though I didn't buy the one with seat, so I can still sit and paddle if I want.It's very lightweight to carry, both in and out of the bag.The board seems very durable and I am excited to get lots of use out of it. I have already taken it out a handful of times to our local lakes.Things I don't love:I waited this long to get a paddle board. Seriously, I waited too long.

Way back when I bought this, ROC wanted me to write a review. I had not used the product yet and I don’t give reviews until I use the product.Even if they offered me a T-shirt, which they did. I wouldn’t mind a t shirt now. 😀After owning this about a year, I have to say this is one of the best things I have ever bought.By that I mean the quality of every single item in the package.The paddleboard itself is made incredibly well. It was absolutely easy to assemble and figure everything out with the little pamphlet as well as all of the YouTube videos that are available.The paddle board itself just sails along the top of the water. You feel like you are flying.You can carry it with one arm along with everything you need from the truck to the water.Pump pumping it up to 15 psi is not that hard. It just takes a little time. I’m 63 years old. It is a good movement opportunity!I pumped mine up and I left it pumped up all summer long. I did have to give it a few PSI every time I went out because it sat unused for a few weeks between my floats.I appreciate it when a company makes something this well.

I like paddle boarding (mostly sitting lol) and decided to try an inflatable since my car cannot safely transport a solid board. I LOVE it with some conditions:* Lighter weight than a solid board, it is easier to carry some distance. I have a .25 mile walk to my favorite lake access and it doesn't weight more than a heavy grocery bag. I did fashion a shoulder sling to help since my shoulder is angry.* Durable - currently at the lake so I don't have to deflate it often. It's been in the garage for a month, inflated and on its side, without any leakage or troubles. I do have a towel over where it leans against the car because I'm not sure what that rubber will do to paint.* Sturdy - I'm not petite (over 200lbs) and it handles my weight with ease fully inflated. We did have to let out some air for my petite daughter because it was too "floaty" is the best word. Think driving on over-inflated car tires.* Setup was easy EXCEPT for the main rear fin. It seems to be a common issue since with a quick google search I found instructions on stretching the box & adding Vaseline for better slide. It took 5 minutes and worked perfectly.* Inflating took about15 min & a good deal of energy once you hit 10lbs air pressure. I'm definitely tracking down the electric pump as soon as I can!
