Fantastic paddle board
Brought this for the family and we love it fantastic strong board.No problem setting it up nice and easy we have been using it all summer big thumbs up from us.Just brought another one for myself.
This is a big paddle board but easy to use, pump works well and been inflated / deflated every day for the last 5 days with no issues or air loss. Can easilly fit 3 people and took me 2 goes to get standing having never done it before. Bag is a good size and everything fits in easily but due to size was my main hold luggage. Bag not a strong as i would have liked and with some additional clothes etc packed in there seeemed a bit weak, will be looking for a large wheeled bag for future trips. Bag would be fine for non flight use. Overall I cannot fault the paddle board, comes with all the extras you need (dont bother with a seat) and looking forward to another 7 days on the Med!
Brilliant fu
Good instructions, easy to use, everything included – even a waterproof phone holder. Very impressed by this board

BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!
I bought this when it was on sale, the board is so much fun I never write reviews but I had to with this product because it is such great value for money and amazing quality!
Great quality board
My first paddle board purchased on an amazing deal at 122 on Amazon Prime Day. I spent time reading Amazon reviews as well as independent reviews on Paddle Boarding websites and was reassured by the good reviews. Pumping up is straight forwards and took about 10 mins. One attached fin was slightly bent to the side, but I followed advice on other reviews and heated it slightly with a hair dryer until it moved into place. The board is excellent quality, solid and stable in the water, the paddle floats in the water so easy to grab if you tumble off the board. All accessories are good and it was nice to have the water proof phone case included. I would thoroughly recommend this SUP.
Disappointed pump damaged no instructions
Brilliant board but pump arrived damaged, there are no instructions. Sent email which has never been answered! Luckily I was able to borrow a pump so I could inflate, rather have my own!

Very happy with my purchase
Amazing! Ordered two boards on the prime day deal and when they arrived we immediately pumped up and left for half a day so we could check no leaks, all good. The pump is easy to use but hard work in the heat, worth it tho. They are really steady, well built and look great. Would recommend

Amazing board
Got this board yesterday and was away to a loch today on the board. Amazing board and super easy to inflate and use. Very sturdy and I wish I had bought 2 when the prime day was on. Will definitely purchase another very soon for my family as I don’t want to share it . Super good fun and would highly recommend this board.
Bought this in the prime sale and was nervous that the price was too good to be true and that the quality would be poor, but I was amazed at the quality of this paddle board! The pump is quality and easy to use with an accurate gauge, the board was so stable in the water, came with repair tool kit as well and the foot pads are durable not foam but softened rubber so won’t wear away easily! Can’t recommend enough

Happy with purchase
Had hours of fun today for the price of a family ticket to a theme park.
There is everything you need including a water proof phone case.
The pump felt great quality. Granted if felt like a age to pump up, don’t all inflatables. You can always buy a electric pump?
We used it in the sea and it was more stable than I had expected even with one adult and two children on it.
The oar is made of aluminium and feels sturdy.
All together it felt like a quality item. I hope I don’t have to eat my words
First attempt.....perfect 👌
First time EVER!!! Arrived yesterday and got straight out. First ever go. So I only sat on it to start until I build my confidence. Absolutely loved it. My 3 years old son sat on it with me and also absolutely loved it too. Can’t wait to get back out. Very sturdy.
Good value for money
The air valve tends to come loose easily so make sure you keep the valve wrench handy!

Great paddle board shame about the paddle!
I have been very pleased with this paddle board. It does take a bit of pumping up, but an electric pump certainly helps with that.
It’s sturdy enough to take myself and my son or daughter, is very stable and easy to manoeuvre, my 9 year old daughter uses it on her own without any problems.
My only issue is the paddle, please be aware this does not always float! It has sunk a couple of times and with it being black is hard to locate. Mine is actually at the bottom of the River Avon now, I was literally down the river without a paddle!!
Bought 2, had £500 worth of fun already in the Lake Disrict on Ullswater and Derwentwater, good buy
Hired these boards in Wales, they were just right for my wife and I`s ability. Had looked at loads online but bought 2 Acoway boards, used them in Ullswater and Derwentwater in the Lake District. Unpacked them, blew them up and away we went. Deflating and packing away even easier. Highly recommend.
Brilliant.
This product is fab. We bought a speed one which is not in the same league as this one. The inflating part is the toughest part as we have 3 boards and do them by hand. I would strongly recommend this board. Good luck.
Works well
It was a present for my son who loves it.
Grea
My husband, myself and our two sprocker spaniels go on it together. Hard to believe it’s inflatable as it is so sturdy. We are beginners and it’s so easy. Highly recommend
Easy to inflate and pack away, bag is big enough to fit all equipment in too
Excellent quality, easy to inflate/deflate and pack away. The bag provided fits all kit in which is a bonus. This is our 1st SUP-Would definitely recommend.
Superb ki
eally loved using this so far. I have been out on it 4 times. The bag is really big and also fits my dry bag and two life jackets. All components are flawless. Use some WD40 on the fin when putting on as it’s a little stiff.
Good value for money
I bought two of these on a recommendation from a friend and have not regretted it. My family has been out on them several times and they have been great.
Had initially a problem with a broken fin on one on the second outing but the company were excellent in resolving the issue and have not had a problem since.
Would recommend to anyone, great value for the money.
Quality of SUP
For a budget board, exceeded expectations, easy to inflate and stable to use, took two adults 25st up and down the river with no issues. Very good board for the price
Great quality, super sturdy, fab purchase
This is brilliant, really sturdy, easy to inflate and perfect for beginners. Really happy with my purchase!
Really happy with this purchase
Very stable easy board – I’m a beginner and finding this absolutely brilliant. Bought an electric pump to make it a bit easier on the arms but totally manageable with the pump supplied too.
Great for beginners.
A great paddleboard – very stable, plenty of room and fun to use. Everything you need is in this kit apart from buoyancy vests (highly recommended for any water activities).
We’ve been out on the board several times and it’s always been very relaxing and enjoyable, to the point that we’ve now bought wetsuits so we can carry on in the colder weather.
There was a slight issue with the pump but we got in touch with the seller and it was solved extremely quickly and professionally – based on this, and their friendliness, I would recommend them.
Great paddle board.
Great sturdy board, really happy with it. Fantastic value for money.
I wanted a “beginners” paddleboard, to use at our holiday home. This looked great – a nice big size (so stable and buoyant to use), nice design and colours, and with a carry bag to hold all the gear (so can stay in our shed when not there). I wasn’t sure how long it would take to inflate, but it doesn’t take long at all – 5 minutes or so – and it deflates really quickly too. There’s one, bigger, removable fin and two fixed fins that come with protectors to use when it’s in storage. It folds back down with no issues and everything – the board, paddle, pump, etc. – fits into the carry bag. The bag has two strong zips and backpack-style straps, so you can put in on your shoulder and carry everything off the beach. It’s now sitting in our storage shed and I’m looking forward to getting down again soon to take it back out!
Great for beginners
Really great kit. Easy to inflate and get started. Had a great trip as a beginner – it’s wide and long making it stable for me at 187cm tall. Very useful rucksack to hold everything and easy to clip the paddle together.
Fantastic SUP
Bought this after only one try of paddle boarding – we used it today for our second attempt at paddle boarding and it was excellent. Very easy to use, felt very safe and was great on deflation. Perfect to pack away again.
AMAZING 💗💗💗
This paddle board is amazing, I’ve always wanted one!! I definitely recommended
Pump broken when it arrived
This company were fantastic to deal with. The pump was broken when it arrived and they solved the issue within hours. I would thoroughly recommend this SUP and the company. Great item
Worth the money
We are very happy with this paddle board, it is very sturdy in the water, my 9 yo twins can stand on it with ease! Fits easily back into the bag
A great board for a beginne
Seems a good sturdy board.
We are beginner paddle boarders and have found this to be a great board.
No doubt the same as others for inflating, easy enough to start with but when it’s getting full it gets harder to pump!
Great Board for Begginers.
After the usual research I chose this SUP. The kit has everything and it does deflate to fit in the bag comfortably. For the price we are pleased. We bought an extra paddle and that also goes in the bag. We’ve used the Board now 3 times and no issues. Its a sturdy board which as beginner you will need. 10’6 is fine for length. You could go for a 34 wide to give a little more stability. But once you get use to this board (32 wide) you will get a little more ‘speed’ and a nice glide on the water. The Bag is a little on the flimsy side but that could be replaced if you had an issue with it. I’ve seen bags with small wheels for pulling along. Good idea! Also the valve doesn’t have the stay open when deflating so you have to keep the valve pressed in’ to deflate. Not an issue really. Finally, make sure you always wash hose the board down with clean water to remove sea water/salt otherwise it can penetrate seals on the board. Practise by making yourself fall into the water a few times and get back on the board. Then it’s no surprise when you fall for real and that gives you more confidence. Just have fun and respect the sea!
Good quality sturdy board
Good quality board, easy to inflate with duel action pump, great to be able to change pump pressure when board gets near to fully inflated makes it easier to get to full inflation.
Good that pump sucks as well as blows, means you can suck all the air out when deflating making it easier to fold up
Board is very stable when in the water.
Carry bag is a good size, I can get my wetsuit wet shoes, and lifejacket all in the bag with the board which makes it easier to carry and straps are suitable so you can carry like a rucksack.
Good value for money
Only a couple of small niggles, the repair kit supplied does not include adhesive or repair instructions, and the straps have a bit that is supposed to clip across your waist on mine I think it has been sown in the wrong place as when I do it up it’s around my neck.
Contacted the company by e-mail regarding the adhesive and they replied very promptly informing me it’s a health and safety issue with transportation!!
Very stable board. Easily takes two people
Great stable board. Easily can take two people and remain stable.
Perfect for beginners to build confidence
Great value board package
Having hired paddle boards a few times we bought one to use in the Scottish lochs this summer, couldn’t fault this board really for what we wanted. Stable, easy paddle, easy to inflate and deflate.
When we came back from Scotland we bought another (the second one was much cheaper than the first?!!) and have a used them a few more times since.
Very happy. For casual beginners like us they are ideal without breaking the bank.
Great quality, well made, easy to inflate and use
I have been very impressed with this paddle board. As a complete beginner I was unsure what to expect, but this set had everthing I needed to get started – board, paddly, carry bag, air pump and a range of accessories including a waterproof tear seal (so far not needed, touch wood!).
In terms of the board itself, its wasvery easy to inflate and once inflated stayed up the whole time. I found I used a combnation of electric air pump and the hand pump included and It was fully inflated in around 3 min. In use, it was very impressive as it was very sturdy and stable on the water and the paddle was a good length too allowing for a very rewarding experience. It looked great with the aqua blue trim too. Afterwards, it was easy to deflate and pack away in to the carry case meaning this is very good for storing too.
Overall, as a beginner I cannot recommend this paddle board set high enough – its very well made, comes with everything you need to get started, its easy to use, easy to store and gave me great confidence on the water. Highly recommended!
Sturdy board
Bought this board as it seemed good value. I was not disappointed. I was swayed by the weight it can take due to the grandchildren and dog wanting to come onboard. It is a good workout when inflating especially when it is near to optimum pressure but we’ll worth it. When engaging the pump make sure the tube clicks in place to make sure the valve is open otherwise you could be pumping without a result. We have used it a number of times and we are over the moon with the purchase to date.
Good and sturdy
Not happy that I ordered blue and received green but hey ho what’s in a colour – the board is excellent spent 2 hrs on it stood up so really nice and sturdy / had a 4 inch one that I kept falling off so this was lush – easy to inflate but tough going as you get to the 12-15 but all in all value for money and we had such today
great kit for value
We found the board to be easy to inflate, despite some previous reviews. And after just a few times on the one, we bought a second! Really sturdy for beginners, you can even have two adults on one – one paddling, one just sitting, or also paddling!
Excellent! Brilliant for beginners
This is an absolutely amazing paddle board. My friends and I have really started getting into it and this board is so sturdy and wide enough that I felt confident standing up. Have been using it nonstop. An excellent piece of kit and the aftercare has been amazing. I’m thinking of buying a second one as my 13 year old and I share this and whilst we can comfortably sit on it together we would love another one. Cannot recommend enough.
Great family fu
I read through loads of reviews and so happy with this sup board. Easy to inflate until the last 5 mins but that is the same as any sup for the sturdiness. Comes with a fantastic carry bag which everything fits in great. It was an expensive purchase for me but so worth it as we have had loads of family out door fu
Great Product and Great Aftercare
Had some issues with the board valve but after contacting Acoway they provided me with solutions to fix the problems. Now ive been enjoying my board in some great locations with stunning veiws!!
Excellent value
Brilliant board, great stability and an ideal all rounder. Nice and light too, only thing it’s missing in my opinion is a pull handle on the fun end which would make it easier to pull out of the water, it for the money I’m really pleased with i
Excellent board
Really great board and lighter than most. Comes with everything really. Just watch which color you buy, this colour is cheaper than the rest from this company! And these colours are fantastic so buy cheaper one
Great paddleboard
Easy to set up and looks good! Brought this as a birthday present, did lots of research before hand and this came out too.
I wanted something that could support two adults, which it does easily, had a combined weight of over 180kgs on it. Was easy to inflate took a couple of mins using the pump to get to the lowest recommend psi, getting to the top was a bit more effort. Would recommend!
Great for the price
Sturdy board, kids and I are having great fun with it. Good sized carry bag. Received the package and the pump was cracked from transit. The support team were great promptly responding and giving a partial refund to replace the pump rather than ship a separate one great and easiest solution for all parties. Would definitely buy again.
Perfect family day ou
Ordered 2 paddle boards they are very easy to inflate and sturdy my husband and son and grandaughters had a great time on the lake at fell foot park easy to deflate and pack away into bag
Great produc
A very sturdy paddleboard. Used both in the sea and on rivers. Kids love it. We had an issue with the lack of an inflating hose but this was solved quickly and reasonably by the US supplier.
Customer service second to none
Never paddle boarded before but my wife and I found this so easy to set up and use.
We love the Acoway board. Just wish the activity itself was as easy as it appeared from afar!!!
We had an issue with the paddle which was down to our inexperience and naivety, but Acoway’s customer service not only explained the cause of the problem but replaced it as well.
Thank you Acoway.
Beginners highly recommend this voard
Love the board, but sceptical of the low price, but such a great board for a beginner, great with electric pump
Good value package.
Overall good package to get started. The board itself looks good and all the accessories fit nicely into the carry bag supplied. Not to heavy to carry.
Only issue I found was with the inflation pump, it does not display the correct amount of psi on inflation making it difficult to be certain of correct inflation level. (won’t display more than 5psi)
I bought this inflatable paddle board to use out on the water in the local loch’s here in Scotland as we have been really lucky with the lovely warm weather here of late and I’ve been looking for an excuse to get out more with my teenage kids during the summer holidays.
The board was well package in a heavy duty box with a heavy duty branded carry bag and on seeing the parts I was immediately pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials. It is made of an ultra-light but thick double-layered PVC, with a rough textured rubber top section for grip and a mesh web on the front to provide storage. As for the paddle it is made of three sections of strong light weight alloy and assembles quickly.
There is a pump included but frankly so far I’ve been using my mains / car powered mini electric pump to inflate or deflate the board as its much quicker at roughly one and half minutes either way and obviously much easier than pumping manually by hand which can be a real chore lol. Furthermore, once deflated it can be folded up flat into a travel bag, allowing it to be easily stored and carried about easily.
All in all you have a very rigid stable base when inflated and a maximum load capacity of 400 pounds. It is 10’6″ long, 32″ wide and 6″ thick and weighs around 10kgs.
On the underside there are three bottom panel fins which help to maintain your balance, stability and direction while paddle boarding. Two of the fins are non-removable and very short whilst the third large fin is removable for packing and transportation.
It includes an essential non-slip traction rope with a good level of cushioning and so far its not caused any chaffing on my ankle or drift away when I fall off which I still do at times though not very often these days as the water in the highland lochs are quite calm.
Once inflated it looks really awesome with the modern design features and is actually much larger and wider than I expected which is great as I found it more stable on the water than previous boards I’ve used.
It has helped my confidence and encouraged me now to get out more often exploring the waters of the local lochs which fortunately are very close and has got my kids interested in the sport which if it gets them out the door being active is not a bad thing. It looks like I will may need to buy a couple more boards for the kids now.
Overall, this board is great value for money and comparable to leading brands I’ve seen at twice the price and provides hours of fun in the water.
Read the reviews of many SUP’s, decided to go with this one due to price, package and reviews.
I was going to get one from Decathlon but their prices are nuts!
We’ve not been disappointed, I have found the quality of the product is very high. Personally, I think all SUP’s are overpriced but managed to get this for 315 with a 25 discount on the listing & a 10 amazon voucher from my Amazon CC, we went for the orange one as it was also cheaper, I really like the design! So the price compared to others wasn’t too bad.
We have used the SUP once so far having inflated it before going to the beach and again at the beach.
I found it relatively easy to inflate all be it being worried about it going pop!
I needn’t have worried, no issues on that front, the paddle is of good quality and no issues with the additional fin as per other reviews.
Time will tell if it lasts or not, will update if needs be but so far so good 🙂
Great board, poor quality bag
Great paddle board. Used a couple of times and had great fun. All seems to work well.
The main gripe is the bag it comes with. After two uses it already has holes in it. Shame after the quality feel of the other items.
Awesome!
Great product. Best investment I’ve made all year. Making the most use it in the Lake District during this nice weather. Great fun!
Great board. Relatively new to paddle boarding and first time owner. Sturdy, stable on the water and easy to turn and balance ok waves. Bag pack could be a little more comfortable as we have quite a way to carry it to the beach but still ok. Takes a while to pump up as volume is high but it’s to be expected with a board this size. Even managed to catch some surf on it! Awesome board. Highly recommended.
Purchased as I am on the large frame size and was guided by reviews. I wasn’t disappointed its been used on holiday 3 times both myself and teenage daughters have had a lot of fun. They found the board very stable however I thought it was a little challenging due to my weight, Shall I say XXL. Bit of a workout to inflate perhaps if I was do it more often my frame would reduce. Overall very pleased.
A great beginner’s SUP. Inflated really quickly (less than 5 mins) with the pump supplied and packs away into the bag easily. It’s well made, stable and sturdy and will take my husband and 14-year-old son on it at the same time. The paddle and bag seem strong too. We’ve taken it out on the sea, so eldest son can sort-of-surf, and on a lake, where it performed well. We have a kayak paddle left over from another purchase, so my favourite activity is to sit on the SUP and kayak it – it will go reasonable fast like this!
We’re into our second year now with these paddle boards and they are still as good as new and proving to be hardwearing and durable. We absolutely love them and the whole family now regularly paddle board having used these to learn on.
Happiness
Excellent product, robust and solid. Good purchase.
Getting plenty of use.
This is an EXCELLENT board.
Well packaged, quick to inflate, carry & launch.
Very sturdy deck (I’m 20 stone’ish, possibly a little more) and it carried me with no bowing or sagging of the deck at all.
A responsive board but also quite forgiving and stable, even for a newbie like me.
I found it easy to paddle whether standing or kneeling. The adjustable floating paddle was simple to lengthen and shorten with minimal fuss.
Deflating the board is also very simple and after a quick dry, it folds effortlessly and stows away in the good quality bag it comes with.
All in all, this is a great value, entry point to the fun that is ISUP.
I highly recommend this package.
Fit for purpose, one use so far, sturdy, stable, not all that hard to pump up. Seems well built.
Paddle seems a bit clunky but don’t know what other makes are like.
Excelle
This is the second sup and very pleased with it. Sturdy and stable. Will buy another. Don’t join the brand buying double cost brigade
A great beginner paddle board
Really impressed with this as an entry level paddle board. I’m a big guy and it paddles nice .
Great board. Very stable. All the components seem to be of a very high quality which was pleasing. Plenty of room in bag too for me to add a few other items – buoyancy aid, fins, shoes etc as shown in pic. Really pleased with purchase and excellent customer service resolved a very minor issue with zero fuss. Would recommend to anyone wanting to buy a SUP.
An awesome piece of kit.
A great piece of kit. We are kayaker and bought this for a bit of fun. It’s strong, well made, really easy to set up and dismantle, and Great quality. Total Value for money. Its been used every day and I’m impressed every day.
Fit for purpose
First paddle board, very easy to inflate and deflate. Only used it a couple of times so far very pleased.
Seems well made
Ticks all the boxes so far. Seems sturdy and well made. Just have to learn not to fall off!
Great paddle board, very good quality. Everything in one bag all equipment tidy and space for wetsuit ect.
Faulty paddle
The paddle board itself is great. The paddle however is faulty and adjusts up and down even when the latch is fully closed. I would appreciate information on receiving another one.
A picture is worth a 1000 words so heres 2! Me and my friend bought one and they are the best thing we’ve bought in 2021! Perfect for summer! Easy to put up and take down! They are sturdy and great value for money with everything included! They are really comfortable to be on and great for doing yoga on! Would definitely recommend to anyone!
Quality
Daughter’s birthday present she loves it thank you delivered on time
Really nice board
Very sturdy even in the Cornish waves
Three of us on it didn’t sink it and it blew up by hand really quick
Great value and quality
Great quality – love the bag, all the extras like the phone case etc
Definitely recommend
Really good product for the money. My daughter loves it.
I read all the feedback on lots of paddle boards. This one is a bit wider and a bit longer than most within this pricerange. I decided on this one as I am quite big and wanted a board that would take my wife and me if wanted. I haven’t stood on it yet but the OH stood first time out. But it’s great fun. Can’t wait for the next calm day
Loved this so much! We spent ages deliberating because we were complete novices and going paddle boarding with pros. Someone said best to go for a more rounded end so I picked this one… couldn’t have been more pleased. The families who knew what they were talking about were very impressed. It was thick and didn’t sag in the middle unlike 2 other paddle boards that folks had in our group. One of the rubbish ones was purchased on wowcher and one was another Amazon purchase. We couldn’t have been more impressed with ours, and the adults & kids alike had a ball on it! I was so relieved -it’s been a big hit!
Used once so far and I have to say I was impressed. This is my second board so not a complete novice. The paddle is not great so I am going to replace it. Thing is I saved 85 by buying the green one and it’s not even that hideous so I will use that to buy myself a decent paddle.
This arrived yesterday and I took it out in the evening. I bought this as a spare for the other half. Our main board is a 11’6 STX tourer. I shall be comparing to this though the STX is twice the price.
Build quality.
Not bad at all. Very compact when stowed. I underinflated it first use to around 10psi. It still coped well with my rather heavy stature. Its better than I expected though I will re review at the end of the season or if I have problems. The STX is better as you would expect.
Accessories.
Bag serviceable, better than budget.
Pump.
Two stage standard.
Fin.
Standard well fitting.
Paddle.
As noted, probably worth replacing as its not a patch on the included STX part.
On the water.
Very stable. Not slow at all for a small board. Coped with my weight and I spent over an hour paddling around without issue covering a couple of KM just looking at the boats in the harbor. Confidence inspiring compared to the STX. Though they are different types of board. The speed difference was not as marked as I thought it would be, at least not on small journeys.
Conclusion I wish I bought this board 4 years ago.
Pump to the recommend number, takes a while but worth i
Came the next day after we ordered and we went out for a paddle, they are perfec
My first inflatable board. I was a little concerned by the one-star reviews but mine seems to be complete and maintaining pressure.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to try it yet, following surgery. The whole kit seems good quality, though, and the bag to keep it all in is very welcome. The bag’s about 90 x 40 x 30 and the board weighs 10 kgs.
Inflating it is inevitably hard work. Use an electric pump if you can, one designed for high volume, low(ish) pressure inflation, i.e. not a car tyre pump. If yours won’t reach the required 12-15 psi, you can still use it, then finish the job by hand. Without an electric pump, be prepared to spend 15- 20 minutes with the hand pump. In fact, I’d recommend allowing rather longer than that — do it in stages. Or, ideally, have someone help, taking it in turns. When it comes to deflation, the hand pump does most pf the work.
You get a comprehensive kit, with this, including some thoughtful touches such as a waterproof bag for your phone. It isn’t cheap, at 305, but that does seem a fair price for the quality on offer.
This was bought for me as a new board and I love it so far…. the size is fantastic and 6inch thick is perfect
It’s nice and sturdy and colourful…well worth it x
Unable to comment as I have not had the opportunity to try out yet. Every thing looks good so far.
We bought this for our family to use. My 8 year old son loves it. Very sturdy on the water. Was a little more expensive than others after the sup craze saw prices go up. Happy with it though. Easy to put up… even easier watching my husband put up. He used an electric pump at first then a hand pump to finish it off. Make sure you put enough air in so that it doesn’t flex. We thought it was brilliant. Lots of fun for the whole family. Very tempted to now invest in a second one!
I bought this last minute (as we were going away to Cornwall for half-term) and meeting a couple of other families who wanted to go paddleboarding! I’d tried one out last year that was a bit narrower and shorter, but I just couldn’t transition from crouching to standing without my legs taking on some jelly-like consistency… and me immediately falling off! Took this to Crantock Beach and quite quickly got the hang of it! Maybe it was just psychological that it was a bit bigger and sturdier.
I’d not opened the bag before arriving at the beach, but its dead easy and straightforward to pump up (and subsequently deflate) and seems to function just fine! Spoke with two other ‘owners’ at Crantock who’d clearly also bought them Prime – last minute – to take away, and they seemed happy with theirs too. Its only been up twice. Time will tell as to the durability. If I can edit this, I’ll update it if things change! The other good thing is that it does actually easily fit back in the carry bag again!
The product is great quality
The bag is big enough to fit everything and 2 wet suits
Arrived on time
Great in the water, takes about 10 mins to inflate and plenty elbow grease
Folds away nicely, although takes a little practice to fold correctly
Nice Iphone waterproof carry case and arm strap
All in all happy with this first time paddle board
Great board for starting comes with a few extras which i wasnt expecting would reccomend thats why i gave 5 stars
This is a great product.
It comes with its own bag/rucksack and incredibly it’s easy to fold.
Everything fits in the bag, including the pump and other accessories.
The full bag weights 15kg, so not too harsh on your back.
The only suggestion I give is to carry a low pressure electric pump with you, the ones that can be plugged in the cigarette lighter socket in the car.
Then fully inflate with the supplied pump.
Failing that, it will take you about 20 minutes to fully inflate the board and you’ll be too knackered top use it.
LOL
It’s a professional board 3 metre long, so keep that in mind.
Wow this is a great bit of kit.
The only unfortunate thing is due to lock-down and the unseasonably cold weather I have been unable to take it to the water. So my review is based on the quality of the materials design and equipment provided.
The board arrived in a strong box and when I unpacked it I could see a lot of care had got into protecting all the parts provided. It is a substantial kit I’ll not want for anything save perhaps a life jacket for deeper water
The build quality is very good. The three piece paddle is black anodised alloy with an adjustable latch closer at the top and a ball and socket closer at the paddle end. There are adjustment marks for height and I particularly liked the polished edge finish where the joints meet, it looks quality.
The ankle tether, waterproof phone bag are both decent too. The canvass shoulder bag looks to be made of. canvas material, has two rucksack style shoulder straps and a side carrying handle. The repair patch and valve tool are very handy too.
The provided instructions are helpful and have some useful precautionary advice when using it as well.
The board itself was neatly folded , I just need to remember how it goes for folding it back up when deflated as the first time I tried I got it wrong and it wasn’t flat enough.
The inflation pump is very large and is two-way for double pumping plus it will also help deflate it. It also has a pressure gauge on the top. When using it I found it very sturdy I just needed to keep my feet on the pump stand to keep it stable .
Pumping it up took quite A LOT of effort especially once I got passed 8 psi ( it should be inflated to 12psi ) it gave me a really good workout it took about 10-15 minutes so I needed to have a few minutes afterwards. In future I’ll pump it up in stages.
Once inflated I had a closer inspection. The board has really sturdy the seams, lashing and inflation points looked strong. The material thickness was thicker than I expected so a good thing for me as it hopefully will last.
The deck has an additional rubberised material stuck to it which is textured and when I stood on it the grip with bare feet was good. It also is a wide deck so would be ideal for beginners as it should be very stable in the water. The nose of the board is lifted so should stop any stalling when paddling also.
There are two moulded fins plus and extra larger installable fin for the centre to aid steering. I was able to slot the large fin into its slot and secure it with the peg very easily.
After I inflated the board I left it for two days to make sure there were no leaks. It was fine but I know that sometimes it is possible to have an air leak around the inflation valve but a tool is provided with the kit to tighten up the valve in case that does happen.
The boards carrying handle worked ok, I always find it best to stand the board on its side and then pick up. It seemed centrally balanced when I lifted it so I found no problem there.
I found using the pump to suck all the air out made deflating the board really easy, again it gave me a good workout but it did make folding it up much easier.
The provided bag worked well , everything I would need to take with me fitted in the bag although I must say its fairly heavy I weighed it on the scales and it weighed just under 28 lbs (12.7 kgs) . So it’s not light.
If the water is a fair distance I personally think I’ll opt for inflating the board on a soft area near the car then use a shoulder strap to carry it to the water rather than trying to carry the whole lot in the kit bag.
So in summary
Pros:
Everything you need to paddle board is in the kit
Build quality looks really good
Thickness of the material is better than I expected
The wide dimension makes it more stable
It would be good for beginners
I can chuck it in the car boot no roof rack required
Repair Kit & Valve tool are included
Pump is very efficient
Can be stored away in the bag so not a lot of room required
Cons:
When everything is in the kit bag it’s heavy to carry for a distance
Inflating it is quite hard. Be prepared for a good workout . I found it best doing a bit at a time.
Would I recommend it? Most definitely it is great value at the price, almost half the price of leading brands with similar material and design (349 at time of the review) and is an excellent alternative.
I was a little bit unsure of which SUP board to choose as I didn’t want to spend a fortune but I also didn’t want to buy something that was poor quality either. There wasn’t many review on this board when I purchased it but the reviews that had been done were all 5*. I needn’t have worried! I took it out on the water for the first time yesterday and it was absolutely brilliant! Didn’t take too long to inflate, easy to set everything up and carry and equally easy to deflate and pack away. The board feels very strong and I was surprised at how fast I could go on it. Delighted with my purchase and would highly recommend!
Very prompt delivery. Everything you need to get on the water. My initial impression is great value for the money. On inflating for the first time I could not get the gauge to show a reading, even though the board felt rigid. I contacted Acoway and they replied that I had not inflated it enough, so 2nd attempt and “Eureka” kept pumping and after 8 minutes the gauge started registering, it gets harder to pump, then open the orange valve on the pump and it becomes easier to pump to get to the correct psi…. So thank you Acoway and now for the real test the water….All in all very pleased with my purchase…..
Lovely big board very sturdy. Everything you need included great bag for it all to pack away in I am really pleased with this purchase
Exceptionally pleased with the prompt delivery. Very well packed and excellent quality. I really enjoyed my first outing and are looking forward to many more.
