I love this paddle board, I’ve had it for over a year and been out on it a number of times. It’s sturdy, easy to put away and you get lots of useful accessories. We have just bought another one for my husband.
This is such a good paddle board! It is very stable on water and it is very durable. I would highly recommend this for beginners and kids! It’s great fun and great value 100/100.
Great board very stable and easy to use and pack away would recommend.
Great beginners paddle board. Was bought for my husband as a birthday present and he always gets complimented on the design. Everything you need in the bag too!
This is my first SUP board, so I can’t compare this Airefina product to any other SUP boards. I took a chance on it, very much liking the idea of stand-up paddling at the coast in Scotland. Years ago I tried windsurfing (didn’t take to it) and bodyboarding (loved it – spent entire days on the waves in Oahu), so I hoped I would enjoy the reality of SUP boarding as much as I loved the idea of it. After I got used to balancing on the board and using the paddle correctly (I watched a bunch of tutorial videos on youtube), I gradually became less conscious of my technique. I was then able to increasingly enjoy the experience. It has become a Zen thing.
The board comes with a host of accessories, most of which are useful. The detonator-style pump does a decent job of inflating the board, but it’s nowhere near as efficient as the Joe Blow detonator pump I use to inflate my mountain bike’s tyres. I couldn’t find a SUP board adapter for my Joe Blow pump, though, so I ordered an OutdoorMaster electric SUP pump. That works a treat. It’s faster than the manual pump and requires zero effort, meaning all my energy is preserved for actual paddling.
In addition to board, pump and adapters, the Airefina box includes a storage backpack (for the SUP board in its deflated, rolled-up state), an adjustable paddle, a safety leash (for tethering one ankle to the board), a removable fin, a waterproof phone bag with attached lanyard, a small waterproof accessory bag and a puncture repair kit.
I’m getting really into SUP boarding. If I lived nearer the coast I’d do it a lot more often. Due to the crazy price of diesel and work demands on my time, I’m SUPing as an occasional treat to myself.
The board has a built-in GoPro mount at the front. I have a GoPro but haven’t yet filmed any footage of me paddling. I’m going to wait till I’m a bit more adept at it before I start filming myself.
Bought this board at the sale price, more than worth it.
Pump is not the best so replaced that with a dual pump, the sale price more than offset this cost though.
Been out on the board several times now in both loch and sea, and each on each outing had great fun, im 6 2 and 90 odd kg and have no probs with this board, sits well in the water and is very stable. Tried another adult on with me, whilst the board sat lower no issues with stability.
My husband and grandkids love it. We bought our son in law one as well. They highly recommend them
Easy to use, sturdy on the water. Thinking about buying another!
I’m loving this board!!
I got an amazing price and fantastic customer service.
As a newbie I had many hesitations regarding quality .. I don’t want it to sink me and my friend in the middle of the bay. The board has some flaws but contacting customer service has been wonderful.
As I’m on the board more, I recognize the quality. In fact, I was paddling next to someone who has bought 3 boards.. he said 2+3 times what a great looking board. AnOther person commented on The extra d rings, the camera option and the thick deck.
It’s a great board. I can paddle two people. The weight capacity is higher than most boards. It’s also heavier at 29lb compared to 20lb which to me shows quality.
I highly recommend. Just watch the price. It goes up and dow
I felt safe and and had a lot of fun.
Good size SUP and can be pumped up in 5 minutes.
Carry bag is huge, enough extra space for 2 life jackets and towels.
To preface this review, I will say this was my first forray into SUPs, so this is coming from a newbie!
This SUP is a great item; it has lots of accessories, some nice features,cans it inflates quickly and stays inflated during use. I can’t fault the actual SUP for how badly I did actually using it, but I’m sure a more competent individual would have appreciated all the bells and whistles! I had fun, and I got a good workout from it, and it did everything it was supposed to do :). Nice product!
Bought this board last month for my birthday and it has been a great board. It’s true to size 11ft. I’m 5’11 , 225lbs. And this board has no problem carrying me and all my fishing stuff. I even was able to paddle board carrying my girlfriend with me. It’s very durable and great for someone who’s trying to learn. I say that because I had never paddle boarded before I bought this board. It doesn’t have a lot of reviews but I can say that doesn’t really matter because this board is amazing.
Comperato all’ultimo momento prima di andare al mare, arrivato in tempi brevi utilizzato 5/6 volte al mare e devo dire che mi sono divertito parecchio, facile da utilizzare anche per un principiante, utilizzato con un adulto e 2 bambini senza problemi (seduti). Ho solo un paio di dubbi sulla qualit che verificher con il tempo..
Will likely buy one more for next season ! Extremely good value for the price poi
Good size, and that gives extra space for a child. It’s a good-quality paddle board. I spend many hours in the sea on it, and it’s a real value for money. Just one thing – next year I’ll buy an electric pump! 😀
I didn’t want to spend close to $500 on a paddle board I wasn’t sure I’d use much or maybe not like. I bought this one and I’m so glad I did! Photo is hubby and pupster riding it. We have thoroughly loved this board! Get one!!
I love all the items it came with. Having a backpack for ALL OF IT really helps!
Ich war sehr skeptisch ob ich um diesen Preis etwas ordentliches geliefert bekomme. Ich wurde nicht entuscht! Zubehr sowie Reparatur Set, alles vorhanden. Als Anfnger kann ich dieses Board sehr empfehlen!
I’m 6’4″ 208, this board is great. I love it. Very sturdy!
Everything you need for a great water adventure! Perfect for families. There were 3 of us on it at the same time. All seated. 1 adult and 2 small children.
Pack includes all you need.
The pump is pretty effective. ( the last few minutes of pumping is harder, but if you use your body weight to help you it’s a breeze)
Seems well built and strong. We took it out on the local river and had great fun!
Highly recommend it.
Ps. If you have young children, make sure you buy them buoyancy jackets too.
Can’t wait for next summer!
Sehr schnes Board. Wrde ich wieder kaufen. Preis- Leistungsverhltnis super!
I ordered this board when I was looking for fast delivery in late July. It was on sale for about $179 and it’s a really high-quality board so I feel fortunate to have received such a great deal. It’s wide and long, has a dry bag that comes with it along with hardware to mount a GoPro and kayak seat if you want. It’s very stable because it’s pretty wide and easy to maneuver with the three fins. Definitely worth the money. I bought several other boards which all perform differently and this is one of my favorites.
First off, bought on offer at 170..
So I’m a beginner to paddle boarding but am comfortable with a lot of water sports. All the equipment arrived as expected apart from the paddle* but will explain on that later.
The board – Is huge, which is great for stability and you can add a passenger 🙂
Pump – Takes around 3-5 mins to fully inflate, I had a few breaks and it is a great work out to warm you up before getting out on the water.
Equipment – comes with storage bag, waterproof phone cover and a repair kit, just remember to buy the SUP PVC glue.
*Paddle – was loose which is a rare fault, however the customer service team (Kody) resolved the issue swiftly and professionally!
Overall – Would 100% recommend, great price, board, quality and service.
Gute Qualitt, schnelle Lieferung, aufpumpen ca.8 min, abblasen ca. 6 min. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhltnis
Kann nur sagen dass ich viel Spa habe,und das man auch als Anfnger gut damit klar kommen tut.
Bought for my 10yr old, he gets on very well with it, would also be ok for adults
Ich verfasse eigentlich keine Rezessionen, aber hier mchte ich zuknftige Kufer darauf vorbereiten was sie erwartet.
Das SUP ist sehr wertig gebaut, allerdings riecht es am Anfang sehr nach Kleber. Nach mehrmaliger Benutzung lste sich im vorderen Bereich die Verklebung um die Kamerahalterung und der PVC Streifen. Leider gestaltete sich der Kontakt zum Hndler als etwas schwierig, so dass ich das SUP schweren Herzens zurck schickte.
Denn das Board liegt so gut und stabil im Wasser, dass selbst Anfnger nicht ins Wasser fielen. Trotz der runden Nase war das Board doch recht schnell. Das Paddel empfand ich als leicht und schwimmfhig.und kam damit gut zurecht. Es lie sich auch sehr schnell nach Benutzung wieder zusammenrollen und verstauen. Alles in Allem ein super Board und hoffe fr zuknftige Kufer, dass ich einfach nur Pech hatte mit der Verklebung.
Bought for 154 with various offers available and cannot argue for that price. Used everyday for a week on holiday both in the sea and a lake. Takes a bit of work to pump up with supplied pump, and the hose had a small hole in it (fortunately I had one for my tent which fitted so wasn’t an issue). Probably took about 8-10 mins to fully inflate with the supplied pump.
Quite heavy when carrying the inflated board, but fine when deflated and in the backpack.
Excellent in calm conditions but affected by the wind (as most will be to be fair). Me and my 9 yr old son could sit on it no problem, and when appropriate, he was fine paddling on his own.
Thought it was faulty when first inflated as there was a leak from the valve on the board. This is actually covered by the instructions and the valve just needs tightening with the supplied spanner.
As we’ll only be using it recreationally as a family, I didn’t need anything faster, lighter (more expensive), so with the supplied kit it is excellent value for money. You can buy similar in Decathlon but that won’t included as the bits and pieces you need and I doubt it’ll be much better quality. So, for a budget board, it’s brilliant.
Only extra items you will need is a life jacket/PFD.
A great paddle board for beginners & all ages. Easy to store , carry & inflate , sturdy & can fit 2 on it easily . Would highly recommend & a great affordable price.
Gute Qualitt, schnell aufgepumpt, praktische Features wie z.B. Halterung fr die GoPro. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhltnis!
Fab board. Only taken out once and had for a week. Easy to set up. Great accessories. Really pleased with paddle board
Kids (20 &18) spent hours using this during our holiday, great fun!
Love this! Easy to assemble, transport, blow up, and very sturdy; kids and adults both loved i
Do my research and the best value for the money
I love this board. It was easy to inflate, very sturdy on the water, and the size is great!
Very well built for the price… It works very well with the seat attached.
great paddle board for the money, appears very well made with a good sized strong carry bag. Everything works well, and a perfect size stable board. Delivery within two days. Money well spent.
Wanted a good stable paddle board for complete beginner, but wanted 11′ model for 6’4″ partner. Very easy to inflate and deflate. Storage in bag easy with plenty of room. Complete beginners were standing and paddling in short order. Rounded ends make it even more stable. Very buoyant. One happy family.
Bei Amazon mit Gutschein 170 bezahlt. Dafr ein wirklich berzeugendes Angebot. Es alles dabei, was man zum Spahaben braucht.
1st question? Like or dislike? Well, first time on SUP board was a lot of fun, splashes, just over all water fun – absolutely love it! Came with everything stated – the phone holder did not leak, however, when you don’t want to be constantly pinged by ppl- I might not have it next time! Second time out managed to have several good runs on the water. I am 68 and had a great time! The board is a bit larger 11ft and 33″ wide thinking the extra area is a bit easier – we went by a calm bay near the house and had the area to ourselves, it was also not really deep water, however, this board being 6″ deep did seem like the wind seem to push it along as we had some wind to deal with, lower boards probably wouldn’t be affected that way. Not a problem, but something I noticed. Love my board, so much fun, planning to have much more fun in the water before the season ends!
I was quite dubious about buying this, it’s a lot of money to spend, but so glad we did. It comes with all you need, and easily holds an adult and 2 10 year old boys without sagging, only one point, the paddle doesn’t float and have nearly lost it twice in the sea . Would definitely recomend
Great paddleboard. I had some pump issues but they were quickly resolved. The company stands behind their product. Very happy with this purchase.
Ich muss ehrlich sagen ich war berrascht. Das Boot sieht super aus, auer vorne oberhalb, die Naht die ist nicht schn sauber verarbeitet, aber ansonsten ist das Boot heile. Die Pumpe ist der letzte schei, sie geht immer wieder ab vom Pumpenaufsatz und der Manometer Funktioniert auch nicht wie einige hier auch schon geschrieben haben. Ansonsten ist alles in Ordnung die Qualitt ist sehr gut.
Very nice n good quality.. the pump not so much.. but very happy with Board.
Bought this one less than a week after purchasing the first one.. did a lot of research, read the reviews before original one we purchased. So far, very happy
I bought two and went down the river with them and they were amazing. Very sturdy. We love them
We have only used it twice but so far this thing rocks. Comes with plenty of accessories. Looks like a steal to me!!
Great board for beginners, even if you 6f6″ tall and over 20st. Tough to find better deal for this price. Only con is bag. Our wasn’t enough strong and we need to buy replacement.
I’m a new paddle boarder and this board is great! I paired it with an electric air pump and it’s super quick to inflate
The board is beautiful and well made. I had an issue with the air pump attachment but they immediately send a new one. Great costumer service!
Great purchase for an active family. Easy to inflate, deflate, and transport.
Just unboxed this beauty x3
After watching the video from someone else and doing about 6 hrs of comparisons I pulled the trigger and bought 2 for me and my daughter asked for me to find her one also.
This thing looks so legit. I’ve used the hard boards , rented them at lakes and estuaries, borrowed a smaller blow up. I can’t wait, everything looks like great quality
So. I have nothing to compare it to, not needing multiple paddle boards, but this has worked pretty well. Key is that the carry rucksack has well padded straps – yomping over fields to beaches in Scotland is no fun with cord digging into your shoulders, as this plus a wetsuit is a considerable weight.
Once you’re waterside, pump works well, dial is in a good place to read. Board is really rigid around 12psi and stood up to a few hours which is the longest I’ve used it. Packs back into the rucksack with little fuss, even on a windy beach. The only thing missing is there’s no adhesive in the puncture repair kit, but I would hope to never have to use it anyway.
Die mitgefhrt Pumpe hatte leider einen Transportschaden, der Kundenservice war sehr freundlich und hat fr schnellen Ersatz gesorgt!
Update: This paddleboard was great for my first experience! Very stable. The paddle was the best of three paddles that I tested out. It tightened up well with the double size clip. I even used it for canoeing two days in a row!
Other observations this far:
The foam on the top is slightly tearing in a corner of the carrying handle. Hopefully this will be a minimal concern.
There are five d-rings, four of which are positioned to attach a seat, but for some reason the company does not recommend using a seat. I bought a seat, but haven’t tried it yet. The d-ring attachments appear somewhat fragile (basically a single layer of vinyl), so I will need to be mindful of using them for anything that would tug at them. They could stretch or break.
The SUP colorful design on the top and the bottom really stands out!
I love the fact that I could sit on the kayak with the ankle leash attached and then get off easily to swim! Swimming was absolutely no problem at all with the leash and I certainly had a good “swimming buddy” for safety and visibility! I think that 12psi is a good rule of thumb for this SUP. We’ve kept it inflated under a tarp in the shade and it’s been great so far! It tracked easily and felt stable in slightly choppy water. I’m a “sitter” so far. I’ve been very comfortable sitting with my legs outstretched and using a kayak paddle. I have never experienced this sense of freedom with a kayak! The versatility of this SUP is amazing!
Been out twice and so far, it’s been great. I Always recommend an electric/ rechargeable pump.
A fantastic board
Colours are bright sturdy platform easy to pump up
All round a excellent package
Bought as I’m new to SUPs and to use with a kayak seat and kayak paddle.
Next day delivery, so no complaints there but unfortunately the holder for the repair kit was smashed and Amazon wanted me to send the whole lot back for a refund, but the price had risen between me buying it and contacting Amazon.
Board itself is very good – I was a bit wary of buying a cheap SUP but it seems well made, unfortunately the same can’t be said for the pump which doesn’t attach tightly enough and keeps coming loose while pumping, and at one point the top actually shot off from the pressure.
As you get closer to the required PSI the loose fitting pump means air starts to escape. That said, I’m happy overall with the package.
The bag seems well made and sturdy, and Ive managed to fit in the SUP plus accessories, the pump and also my seat and life jacket.
On the water the board feels really stable and seems to track well.
I can’t comment on the paddle as I haven’t used it.
I would say that the Airefina SUP is a great starting point for beginners like me, it arrived in a very large box but dont let that deceive you – its quite easy to carry when packed away in the bag, obviously it is still quite weighty however its definitely worth it for the fun and adventure. Along with the paddle board itself tgere are various accessories to accompany the board including the fin, carry backpack, leash to attach to prevemt loosing it, pump and puncture repair kit which could be useful. It did take awhile to inflate but i must say i was very impressed with the stability once fully inflated and out on the water. With no fault of the board i spent most time in the water though, hopefully after more use ill be able to actually stand up and paddle – thoughly enjoying it.
Es ist einfach perfekt !!! Sehr viel Zubehr , angenehmer Verstaurucksack !!
Paddel und Sup selber sind sehr hochwertig !! PREIS/LEISTUNG einfach der hammer. Es liegt super im Wasser , handling und Stabilitt sind einfach perfekt !! Super Sup wrde es jeden nur weiterempfehlen!!!
Wasn’t sure what the quality of this Airefina SUP might be but it’s turned out to be a happy surprise, apart from one fixable issue. The good stuff includes the size and shape of the board, it’s slightly longer than some but more important it’s straighter in the middle meaning it’s wider for more of that length. That gives you more room onboard without losing stability, you can step forward or back as needed and remain stable where the more elliptic boards force you to bring your legs/feet together reducing your stability slightly. There’s a non-slip textured foam mat bonded onto the top surface which covers most of the board and cleverly the back edge gets thicker and rises up slightly so you can feel when your feet are approaching the back edge without needing to look behind you. The 5 D-rings placed around the board are particularly sturdy too, better than many SUP’s and seem securely fixed. The bungee cords on the front are decent quality and should keep your gear handy and there’s a really cool little camera mount on the very front that accepts standard GoPro mounts or a standard tripod screw – you might need a male-to-male adaptor to use that though. The overall construction seems really good and we found no leaks so far and it seems to hit a good balance between being sturdy and remaining lightweight.
The included accessories include the requisite paddle which extends to a good length (I’m tall!) and should work for a wide range of adult and adolescent heights, you’ll need to tighten the clip before the first use so have an Allen key handy. The coiled ankle strap is sturdy and extends to a good length too, basically the length of the board. You also get a repair kit which is really just a waterproof tube container with two small squares of plastic cloth (no cement!) and a special spanner for removing/replacing the main valve in the SUP if it ever fails. There’s a basic wet-proof smartphone case, which I wouldn’t trust for full immersion but should help with splashes. Plus there’s a medium sized wet bag with shoulder strap to stow everything and your lunch into. Finally there’s a zip-up backpack which is basic but big enough to store the rolled-up board and the accessories. Note you get two foam packing blocks which have a slot that slips over the two fixed short fins to protect them during carriage – keep these! They’re great for protecting the fins while in the backpack and also stop the fins digging into your back while you’re carrying it.
The other essential inclusion is the outsized foot pump needed to inflate the thing and that’s my only criticism. The pump itself is fine, not too sturdy but with a pressure gauge and a cap you can remove to switch between a high-volume or high-pressure action. The bad bit is the hose that connects the pump to the paddleboard and it’s basically a cheap plastic moulded one-piece hose that just won’t fasten securely into the bayonet fitting of the board valve. Any movement to the hose causes it to twist back out of the board, this is very difficult to avoid when the hose is all one piece, so you need an extra pair of hands holding it in place while you pump, really not handy. I managed to find a thicker washer for the end of the hose that made the connection slightly tighter but it’s still an issue and a better hose is the only real solution. It takes a while and some effort to fully inflate the board and the maximum recommended pressure is 15psi, which is higher than many and suggests a decent construction. I STRONGLY recommend you get some kind of powered air pump to help you get there, even if it’s just a little battery-powered pump because that will still take most of the back-breaking work out of it and just leave you to bring it up to full pressure manually. You also get a Shrader valve adaptor that would allow you to use a car tyre compressor or similar, it’s a really useful inclusion but you have to take care not to over inflate the board and cause damage. We never go much beyond 12psi with ours, certainly never needed to go to 15psi, and the board’s as stiff as a… well, board at that pressure. For the price it seems a really decent kit for the beginner or occasional paddleboarder, you can pay a lot more and get better quality but this is a sturdy, well made and though-out SUP kit (apart from that stupid air hose!) that could provide loads of fun on the water.
I am not an expert in paddle boards at all, this is my first, but bought this after doing a bit of research.
A friend and I have just come back from a break in the Lake District, the perfect opportunity to try the paddle board out. I’m a novice and found that the paddle board was easy to inflate and pack away and it felt really sturdy. The Lake was a little choppier than we had hoped but the paddleboard was great in those conditions. My friend who had a different paddle board was really impressed with the quality of my paddleboard. The oar was much sturdier than hers as was the attachable fin. It’s a little longer than some other paddleboards at this price point too. The back pack to store it is in is pretty good too, it zips all the way round (apparently some don’t) which made it easy to pack away – just a small point but it did help when you were trying to pack away quickly and get out of the cold. It deflated quite quickly too!
The dry bag and phone case that came with it kept everything dry – no leaks at all!
This was really good value ( I bought it with a voucher) and I have to say overall I was pretty impressed. It was great fun and I can’t wait to get out on the water with it again.
If I had to come up with a niggle, the only issue I had was that the pump gauge didn’t work very well so I wasn’t sure whether it was pumped up at the right PSI. However, the adaptor for a tyre pump helped out there – I always keep a tyre pump in the car so I used that. A note on that – it does take longer to pump up using the tyre pump, it’s actually quicker to do it by hand!
Overall – a great item and I’m so pleased I bought it!
Last year I discovered paddle boarding. I spend many sunny summer days as a novice on the lakes in Cumbria, hiring a board. This year I decided to buy one.
Today, mid May 2022, I took my Airefina SUP out on her maiden voyage. An almost deserted Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria under a stunning blue sky, my first launch into freedom took place.
Inflation, though not the claimed five minutes, was easier than expected and I was soon on the water. Using the SUP case as storage, and buying an extra bungee cord for the rear (seat) fittings, I had ample capacity for my clothes, towel, etc.
The breeze blowing North up the lake made my progress easy but concerned about the battle back to my launch site, I didn’t venture too far.
Airefina performed well. Also comes with a camera holder compatible with GoPro cameras on the paddle board base, record and share every wonderful moment with friends and family.
Deflation was easy and rapid on the grassy lakeside. I feel a zipped storage pocket in the SUP case was quite useful.
Quality is just as good as fanatic board and can’t beat the price which makes it an instant sale!
The board comes with a clear set of instructions on how to inflate and deflate the board. The stand pump that comes is the only minor letdown as I found that the values do not lock into place quite as tightly as they should, and therefore, I needed to pump with one hand, and hold the value in the other. However, I was able to inflate the whole board in around 5 minutes.
The board is pretty wide, hence why it would be great for a beginner. The paddle is length adjustable, depending on your height, or if you are standing or sitting on the board. I am 6ft 1, and paddle length wasn’t an issue. There are four D-rings on the board should you want to attach a waterproof bag for your phone or snacks etc. There is also a GoPro style camera mount at the front of the board. Once fully pumped the board is really strong and stable, and there is a nice textured surface that prevents slipping.
At the time of review in late April 2022, this Airefina board is listed at 269.99 with an additional 60 voucher to use bring the price down to 209.99, which makes this a bargain.
This was my first and only ISUP (Inflatable stand up Paddleboard) until a few days ago so I had nothing to compare it with, but now I do. You get everything you need in this package except for a wetsuit (if you need one) and a buoyancy aid. I’m amazed at how solid it is once it’s inflated. It really feels like a hard board. I pumped it up first in my lounge, using the included pump. The pump is quite basic and light with bit of a cheap feel but it does do the job. I’ve since purchased another more expensive pump as I now have two ISUPs. I left it inflated indoors until the next evening and it stayed fully inflated with no loss of pressure. The board certainly fits the advertised description and looks cool too. The repair kit is a plastic container with a tool to remove and tighten the inflation valve should it leak, a patch to repair a hole but no adhesive. There’s a leash to attach to the ISUP and your ankle for safety. The paddle fits together simply and feels robust. Take note of which way to face it though as it’s not the way you’d expect (YouTube for videos). It’s super easy to deflate and rolls up to fit easily into the carry bag included. It really is a pleasure to own and takes up very little space once packed away into it’s bag. I must be honest and say that I’ve not been on the water with it yet as it’s far to cold at this time of year. I do feel very confident that it will be so much fun and a great pleasure though. 100% happy with what I’ve seen of it so far and can’t wait for summer.
Update: I’ve been out with the Paddleboard twice now. Loved it !

Item arrived nicely, well packed, comes with everything you’d need.
The quality is far superior of any others I compare to. We tried it on the lagoon next day , was very easy to transport and carry to water for launching . And the board was well balanced, performed perfectly. Two adults sat on the board and it was pretty smooth and sturdy. In addition, Packing into the dry bag was also super easy!
This is an excellent, well made board. Great size,a little heavier than some, but that’s why it’s so rigid and stable on water.
Foam deck is quite nice for extra comfort and grip, feeling sturdy.
Easy to assemble finn. I make sure I get the fins locked properly and give them a good test pull to be sure.
Nice bag as well. All accessories are decent quality, too. However, you probably need some muscles to pump these things up.
Overall this board has exceeded our expectations with its quality, weight and ease of use. Fabulous styling and design on this board , it’s a real head turner , be prepared for being stopped and asked where you got your board from , it’s like nothing else out there , so but also cuts it on the water . We are going to try it again on the sea soon .
I was very impressed when this arrived come is nice sixed box but one out everything was in a nice carry case which will fit in the boot of the car in the bag was the board itself, pump, puncture repair kit, leash, fin. although we are yet to try this on water we did blow this up and was a good size and seemed sturdy when on ground – this is new to us so will be interesting when we get this out on the water but cannot wait.
I have been fortunate enough to review a number of stand up paddle-boards (SUP’s) over time and the quality and equipment provided with them has improved over time. This board is certainly no exception.
I have listed a summary of the Pros & Cons towards the end of this review.
Again this is a really decent board and accessories. It follows a familiar theme of boards now available in that it basically has everything for paddle-boarding in a bag. This one has a few extras up its sleeve over an above the norm (see below)
The board arrived well packaged in a strong box.
It comes with a decent instruction manual which is comprehensive including some very good safety advice.
On reading the manual I notices it has a Uk base helpline Mon-Frid -9 -5 which was useful to know.
In the box is the Board (2 Small fins attached), 3 Section paddle , I x Large removable Fin, , Two-way Pump , Repair kit, Ankle tether, Carry Bag. Also included in the package was an inflation adaptor for a car tyre pump, waterproof phone dry bag.
This one additionally has clothes dry bag, a handy inflation adaptor to use with an electric a car tyre pump, plus an action camera mount. All really useful additions.
The build quality again looks very good. The three-piece paddle is fairly standard but very acceptable black anodised alloy with an adjustable latch closer at the top ( turn the lever clockwise to tighten) and a ball and socket closer for the paddle end. There are adjustment marks for height it all looks decent quality.
The ankle tether, is black it has some very decent cushioning around the ankle section and used the standard velcro fastening. It does a decent job too.
The canvass shoulder carry bag is colour coordinated with the board, a nice touch. It is more than adequate to hold all the items securely The shoulder straps and ehe zippers looks decent quality also.
There’s also the fairly standard orange container with repair patch and valve tool, both useful additions.
The board itself was neatly folded and secured in a webbed strap. After inflation and deflation it took me a couple of attempts to fold it up just right, it’s not as obvious as some where the folds should be to return it to the correct size but it went back ok in the end.
The inflation pump is large but is double or single action . It has the standard pressure gauge on the top with the correct pressure zone indicated in green on the bar. (12-15 psi) When using it I found it worked well, and it was sturdy during the inflation process.
I have an electric car tyre pump which I used with the provided adaptor so I was able to blow the board up without effort .All worked well. I normally then top the last few Psi up by hand through, so I do have to use a bit of effort.
For those not able to use and electric car pump or similar it normally it takes a LOT of effort to inflate a paddle-board. It’s important to give yourself plenty of time I find I need to take about 3 breaks to get to the required 12-15 psi pressure. Obviously if you’re lucky enough to have an electric pump or car pump then not an issue. It takes me around 15-20 minutes altogether doing it manually.
Once inflated I had a good look at the board. It’s big, around a foot longer than the ones I’ve previously had at 11 feet .
The deck has the normal textured rubberised material stuck to it which has good grip with bare feet was very. It also is a fairly deck of 31 inches, so will be very stable enough on the water, particularly for the beginner. This one is fairly unique in that it has a raised section near the inflation point. The board has the normal lifted nose which aids paddling.
Seams are very sturdy, the lashing are stainless steel and there is the normal elasticated cargo area at the front (for dry bag etc) The PVC is a really decent thickness, the downside is that it adds to the weight. This one weighs 19 lbs (8.6 kgs) on its own.
The inflation points looked strong and secure. The material has a decent thickness to it. And the board is 6 inches in depth offering decent stability. There are extra lashings (D rings) to allow the option to strap a seat also.
This particular board can support a weight of 350 lbs plus (159 kgs) which is not the highest I’ve seen but decent enough and would easily allow 2 people plus a dog if that’s your thing.
The large fin is detachable on this particular board although 3 fins will give more drag but will help stability /steering.
It easier to put the fin on once the board is inflated it slides into a slot and is secured by plastic peg on a lanyard.
*Note this one has a spacer piece which needs removing first.
After I inflated the board I checked the valve and seal for leaks with some water, it was fine.
As per usual I left it inflated on two trestles in my garage for three days to ensure there were no leaks as I know that sometimes it is possible to have an air leak around the inflation valve. It was fine no issues.
As mentioned the valve 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 with the handle away from me and then pick up. It was centrally balanced when I carried it.
I tried the provided carry-bag it worked well , everything I would need to take with me fitted easily in the bag although as usual.
The shoulder straps are padded and I found them comfortable when I tried carrying it. With everything in the bag it weighed 28 Lbs (12.7 kgs).So its fairly heavy.
I’m not sure how often I would use the bag in practice as I found parking the car about 300 meters from the beach or shore, then blowing the board up on the grass car park the best option for me. Then just a matter of carrying it to the water.
When finished I’m also also very careful when deflating the boards after they have been used in a sandy beach as the air comes out very fast when pressing the deflate button down and it can blow any sand residue in your eyes if you’re not careful.
I would recommend beginners to find some nice calm water such as public reservoirs or water sport centres to master the art first as its nowhere as easy as it looks, for some anyway. Even takes some lessons.
Once you’ve got the balance sorted then consider progressing onto the sea as they can get choppy and soon tip you off.
A word of warning also for the novice that if used on a flowing river I would recommend also getting a waist tether rather than using the supplied ankle one as your feet can get caught up in reeds / weeds etc and could put you in trouble.
I would also recommend wearing a life jacket, it might not look so cool but fun with safety is the important thing from my point of view.
So in summary:
Pros:
Everything you need to paddle-board is in the kit .
Build quality looks really good again and on a par with other more expensive ones I’ve reviewed
Thickness of the material is very good
Put it all in the bag and chuck it in the car boot no roof rack required
Repair Kit & Valve tool are included
Can be stored away in the bag so not a lot of room required at home
11 feet long and 32 inches wide (3.35 m x 0.81 metres so ideal for beginners
Will hold up to 159 kg (350 lbs) weight
Bag is colour coordinated with the board
Cheaper then many available
Has a standard I year warranty
UK based Helpline
Cons:
Inflating it is hard! Best to do a bit at a time., Better still get an electric pump with the adaptor!
Board weighs 19 lbs (8.6 kg). Most boards are similar weight though.
When everything is in the kit bag it weighs 28 lbs (12.7 kgs) a lot of weight to carry for a distance, although as mentioned it was comfortable on the shoulders when I tried it.
I can definitely recommend this SUP kit, despite getting the extra size the cost is very competitive compared to other budget boards , you get a lot for your money ( 269 at the time of the review) . It is under half the price of some leading brands with similar materials and design .
Well I certainly wasn’t expecting this level of quality. Surely an inflatable can’t be a rigid as a fixed board? But yes it can! You really can’t tell that this is inflatable once set up and the full kit has everything you need including a backpack to hike down to the shoreline.
Easy to set up, slightly harder to put away again, but with a bit of practice you can get it really slick. A great space saving solution and ideal for the summer ahead.
The pack comes with everything you need to get started, as well as extras. I got to try this paddle board out over the weekend and I was not disappointed! I was skeptical about the fact that it rolls up, but once it’s been blown up to the recommended PSI, you wouldn’t even realize it’s inflatable. I used it consistently for about 3 hours and never worried that it was losing air, never had any issues at all. It’s very sturdy, comfortable, great quality. Overall I’m really very pleased with this SUP and look forward to using it more and more throughout the summer and beyond.
A super paddle board providing much enjoyment. Living beside an estuary this was hugely well received by my grandchildren. A couple of little bugs, the pump works but the pressure gauge stuck at 5 and would go no further. The board was easily inflated though and is sturdy and strong. A tyre inflator would do a more accurate job but praise to the company for including every extra you could need. Also on ours the name was somehow in mirror writing rather than legible. Neither of these things spoil the item.
We think it is a super paddle board and are very happy to have had the chance to test it properly.
This is a fantastic paddle board. Its a nice quality, sturdy but lightweight. Its easy to inflate and stays inflated. It comes with everything you need to get going too and comes with a range of accessories including bag for storage/carriage, pump and puncture repair kit! I initially thought the pump looked flimsy compared to all the other accessories but it actually works really well. I think the big selling point for me is the weight capacity – great for bigger people or for use with your kids. This folds away neatly and so takes up little storage space. Overall,this is a really great quality paddle board with everything you need if you are new to this hobby!
This comes complete with all that you will need, repair kit, rucksack, pump, mobile phone waterproof case and a dry bag. Last summer we purchased our first 2 paddleboards for just over 600, we had lots of fun all summer at our sailing club spending most of the school holidays on the pontoon in and out of the water on our dinghy and paddleboards, it will be great to have a 3rd board this summer as our teenagers can now have one each and I wont have to keep sharing! This board looks just as good quality as the ones we purchased last year, in fact the rucksack for this one is better as its more spacious, its a very tight fit to get our other boards back in the bag but a lot less hassle to get this one in due to the bag being roomier which is a big plus. Pump is pretty standard, good to see this comes with a valvefor a car pump as our other one didn’t and i purchased one but this comes with one. It is a chore to pump them up especially if you have several to inflate, unfortunately we do not live a walking distance to the club so we do have to completely deflate them every time and get them back in their storage bags so we use a pump that plugs into the car as it saves a lot of your effort – this board comes with a go pro mount which is very handy – would recommend to anyone thinking of buying one, it will certainly keep you entertained this summer – Dont forget that even if taking these out in the sea, river or canal you have to by law pay for a permit at most locations. Its 15 for our permit on the river Crouch, something to bear in mind as most people dont seem to realise, I would rather pay the fee than the fine

The Airefina SUP Paddle Board is large and feels well made. It comes with a carry bag, paddle, pump, repair kit, ankle leash, dry phone case and dry bag.
The supplied pump has a pressure gauge built into the top of the handle and is attached to the board with a flexible hose. The attachment is the standard twist type that locks the end of the hose in place over the inflation hole. Unfortunately this hose doesn’t lock in place tends to come undone as you are pumping meaning all the effort is wasted. I had to get somebody to hold it in place while I pumped it up, which isn’t ideal if you are on your own.
The pump itself is good and inflates with both the push and pull of the handle. The instruction says to undo a small cap at the top of the pump when the board is almost inflated which switches it to only inflating with the push of the handle. This is a good idea because as it becomes fully inflated the pumping on the pull stroke gets very difficult. It took around 6 minutes to fully inflate to the recommended pressure of 12PSI.
When fully inflated the board is very sturdy. You can then just slide the fin in place on the underside and insert the locking pin and you’re good to go.
There are D-rings around the side of the board to attach things to, netting at the front to hold a bag and even a mount at the front to attach an action camera.
The phone case keeps you phone dry and the dry bag is a nice addition as you can put all your valuables in there and place it under the netting on the board so you don’t have to leave them on the beach unattended.
It is a shame about the pump connector because this is a good board and would have got 5 stars were it not for that.
Comes with comfortable and none stick deck pads which is very good and are raised about 1/4 inch from the board. I loved the blue and green colour and design. It has its own water proof bag which actually holds everything in it. It has a converter value so you can use a bike/car pump. A handy mobile phone case which is mainly waterproof. Double action pump with a gauge but it’s easier and quicker to use a car pump. 12-15 psi and only takes a few minutes. The elastic strings on the board are really useful for bags. (Bungee system) The instructions are clear and detailed. Feels really solid. There’s a bit of a nose rocker to this board instead of being flat. This helps in the surf. The camera has a threaded mount and a go pro mount. There are ribs and stitches inside that pull it altogether to keep it really sturdy. When you push down as it’s deflating you can feel the ribs. To deflate just pull the plug out but again it’s quicker if you reverse the valves into the air intake on your electric pump and deflate with that. You really need to suck all the air out properly as it’s impossible to roll up and fold away neatly back into the bag. Once deflated completely it’s really easy to fold and roll up. All the equipment goes into the bag which then turns into a backpack or the perfect size to put in the boot of your car. The bag has handy pockets inside to keep all your stuff dry. It’s a really sturdy and good quality bag. The dry bag is good and can be used as a float. No roof racks needed here. The backpack is smaller than some so easier to carry. Ankle strap and paddle work well. The paddle is nice and long and it feels sturdy and well made. It performs really well and the length is perfect. The little bit of front rocker really helps in a stronger current with a bit of surf. Having the front go pro camera mount is awesome. It’s 11 foot long so probably easier to inflate water side. The base is wide so plenty of room to stand on. There’s the handy D rings on the front and all the way round which a lot of boards don’t have. There’s a really strong handle. You get a handy valve tool. Also it’s a single bladder design (meaning one big air chamber), so make sure to wear a life jacket just in case you had an issue with it deflating. It feels like a solid board and it’s as hard as a rock but don’t forget it isn’t. Will it replace a hard board. Probably not but it is a great bit of kit because of the price, quality, extras, and then because it’s easier to store and takes up less space. This board really is very sturdy, strong and durable. The quality is verging on mid range to high professional that go for thousands. Every thing has been heat sealed and reinforced with so many extras so I’m very happy to highly recommend i
SUP INFLATABLE PADDLE BOARD.CAN TAKE A WEIGHT UP TO 159KG. COMPLETE WITH D RINGS, SAFETY LEASH, ADJUSTABLE PADDLE, REMOVABLE FIN, CARRY BAG , REPAIR KIT ALONG WITH DOUBLE ACTION PUMP. TOTAL WEIGHT OF BOARD IS ONLY 12.7KG. EASY QUICK SET UP. STRONG AND STURDY AS WELL AS DURABLE.
I’ve been watching these go up and down the river at Stratford upon Avon and always thought.. how hard could it be.
The biggest barrier was the price, all the good ones I could see that had everything included appeared to be well north of 300, So how does this fit in? Surprisingly well.
First off this has everything needed to get you up and running, from the board and paddle to the pump and bag to put it all in. The only optional extra you might need is a life jacket or wetsuit if you fancy it.
Assembly was really easy. I thought it would take a lot more effort to get the board blown up but it only took around 5 mins. We also have an air compressor in the car, might use that next time to make it effortless.
The bag is oversized and waterproof so it was very easy to get it in and it kept the car dry.
There a bit at the top for you to store a bag and a mount for a GoPro if you wanted to record your little outing.
This from someone who just seen others doing it before, couldn’t believe how easy it was. The only problem is that we only have one to have to fight to take turns!
I ordered this item as an activity to do on our family staycations. Unfortunately we don’t have much storage space and the idea of being able to easily fit this in the car is great. Whilst the paddle board folds up fairly small it is still of great quality and is very thick and tough rubber material.
The paddle board comes with various other extras such as paddle (obviously!), carry bag, repair kit, pump, safety strap, and fin. The carry bag is a great touch as you don’t need to worry about the board being fully dry before storing it back in the car.
The pump provided is large and therefore only took us about 5 minutes to fully inflate the paddle board.
The board itself is great (at least for us as below average paddle boarders!). The colours are bright, the top has a storage bungie, handle (useful for getting back onto it after falling off!) and go-pro mount (which personally we dont use).
I can’t really think of any downsides to this product, it is a little on the heavy side but this is only because of the quality so I cant really say it’s a problem. I’m genuinely really happy with it.
This paddle board kit really has been well thought about and is of excellent quality and value. I’d highly recommend it to anyone, it’s great fun!
Everything you need except a life jacket, this comes with a storage bag which has a handle on it to carry it and back pack straps to carry it in your back, little storage areas on it too. There is an adjustable paddle that feels strong but lightweight. There is a repair pot with 2 green matching patches, no glue included. There is a 6ft ankle strap to attach. A fin, pump adapter and waterproof bag to put your phone in. All this can go in the Waterproof bag included that you can put on the board. There is a double action pump to inflate and deflate, it takes about 5-10 minutes to inflate and about 2 to deflate. In the book it recommends pumping it up to 12-15 psi. There is also a go pro attachment area. I ordered this for my husband for father’s Day so cannot wait to try this out! 🙂
This paddle board is supplied with an abundance of accessories, which is especially useful if you are new to this water sport.
Everything you receive fits inside the bag which can be carried as a backpack using the attached straps. There is the paddle, which is perfect for the whole family because it is easily adjustable to make the length exactly right for each person. The gauge pump has an adapter, which is useful because it means you can plug it into your car to inflate the board, although the hand pump was very easy to use and actually worked quicker than using the adapter. There is also a safety lead, a waterproof carry bag, a mobile phone bag and a repair kit.
The board itself looks and feels good quality. It is a really good large size and the colours are lovely and make it stand out well.
The paddle board has a camera holder on the base for fitting a GoPro camera, which we don’t have yet, but I think it is well worth considering.
My son and his family are all great swimmers and grab every chance they can to be in or on the water, but this is the first time they have had an opportunity to try paddle boarding.
It is still the early part of the year and quite cold here in the Southwest of England (snow & hail stones this week!), but that wasn’t going to stop my family heading down to the South Coast this weekend for an introduction to paddle boarding
As complete beginners, we found this paddle board was really quick and easy to set up, so it was just a case of slipping into a wetsuit and setting off.
The board feels nice and steady on the water and even though it was a first attempt at paddle boarding, no-one fell off, so there wasn’t any embarrassment in front of the many spectators (who were probably wondering why anyone would choose to be out on the water on such a cold day!).
Even my 12-year-old granddaughter was standing up on the board in no time. Everybody had a fantastic time using this paddleboard and nobody wanted the day to end.
Packing everything away was just as straight forward as setting up and there wasn’t any difficulty getting it all to fit back in the bag.
This paddle board is excellent quality, quick to set up and easy to use. I have absolutely no doubt that it is going to provide many hours of enjoyment for all of the family.
So far I am truly impressed with the quality, light weight but strong structure and functionality of this board but I only had the chance to check it and inflate it indoor since the weather has recently be atrocious and winter has returned with vengeance.
In a couple of months we have anyway some holidays planned and all is scheduled to put this trough its pace!
The price of 299 is however a bit high and sits midrange on similar products. But I have only also tried a single other board before and for sure this feels sturdier and better made so possibly it is justified
At 11 feet long this Airefina inflatable SUP is truly a big board, and as such it offers good balance and is suited to newcomers to the sport of paddle boarding. Also its bigger than normal size and its movable fin makes it ideal for surfing. For durability the board is made with a robust laminate structure from anti-corrosion, anti-scratch and UV-proof material with protective coating and anti-slip EVA decking — and for good measure there is a repair kit and instructions.
This Airefina offering includes a 3-section adjustable paddle with aluminium shaft and plastic blade, 5 D-rings fixings for safety leash to attach to the ankle, a grip handle to assist carrying to the water, a 4-fixing bungee storage net on the deck, and there is a GoPro camera holder. The SUP weighs about 30 lbs and it can carry 350 lbs. With an accessory bag all fits neatly into a storage/travel backpack. The pump.is dual action and it incorporates a pressure gauge, and inflation takes 10-15 minutes with 4-5 minutes deflation. Recommended pressure is 12-15 psi.
The board and accessories arrive neatly packaged into a box 19 inches wide, 36 inches high and 9 inches deep which contains everything necessary for stand-up paddleboarding — plus yoga or fishing as illustrated on the box! For this review I have received help from daughter and grandchildren as experienced SUP users and we all agree the Airefina product is suited to both beginners and more experienced, and for young and old — it truly deserves a 5-star rating.
Superb starter set for any budding paddle board enthusiasts. Comes with everything you’ll need, and the quality of the paddle board is very good. I also love the fact that it has a slot for a Go Pro camera, which I thought was such a cool addition. Fantastic quality.
Had a few hours on this yesterday at the diving clubs pool. Fell off a couple of times because I’m still new to paddle boarding and previous to yesterday, I had only used a paddle board sitting down.
This feels sturdy when fully inflated, extremely rigid and feels like you’re standing on a solid surface.
The box comes with all the accessories you need to start out including a paddle, fin, carrying backpack, leash, pump and puncture repair kit.
The board itself moves nicely on the water without too much on the bottom to cause resistance. It’s pretty wide so this helps somewhat with stability making it good for beginners and even teens.
I wouldn’t call this light, it’s the same weight more or less as the previous one I had and similar all around. This isn’t a problem for most people though as once it’s deflated it can be placed in the backpack and carried on your back making the weight much less of an issue.
The camera mount is a nice touch, you can place the camera facing yourself or away from yourself to capture your journey from a first person perspective.
The paddle board also has a strap on it that can help you stay on top should you need something to hold onto, this can also help you with getting back onto the board should you fall.
This takes quite a while to inflate and is a bit of a workout for your arm but it’s worth it as once it’s fully inflated it’s an insane amount of fun in the water. This would be best used on either a quite shallow and slow flowing river with a license or just in the sea during a family trip. I advise a parent keep watch of any younger children that may be using this as it only takes a split second to fall off and not everyone is able to get themselves back on in the water. This can cause a child or adult that’s not used to swimming to panic which is dangerous.
I do recommend this and will say that it’s an amazing paddle board.
Now as a keen paddle boarder that had only had the pleasure of using our solid board but struggled to get out on the water as often as I’d like due to the impracticalities of taking away with us on the roof rack with the bikes, I was looking for a more practical solution and this Airefina Inflatable SUP board kit appeared to fit the bill nicely.
We opted for this model as it can withstand my weight(15st) and that of my son when he joins me out on the water thanks to the 159kg max weight capacity. First of all, it’s well packaged and nicely presented in its own branded box and on opening everything is bundled within its carrying bag. On inspection, everything needed to get started was present and accounted for so first impressions were very good. Even before inflating it’s clear it’s a quality bit of kit that is well made from the seams to the drop stitch material. We decided to inflate the board in the garden with the included floor pump, and leave it out overnight to check how well it held air. My son was excited at the prospect of a day on the water and was first up to check on the board and couldn’t wait to wake me at 6 am with the news! Once I’d come round, I was delighted as it was as well inflated as we had left it and I too was now looking forward to trying it out.
We decided that the local marina was the ideal spot first up, so we deflated and packed everything up before heading out. Takes a few minutes and it’s unpacked and ready to go again, which is a lot easier than messing around with the roof rack and the bulk of a solid board etc. I decided to head out first and I was a little tentative but confidence in the board soon grew and I was genuinely surprised at how solid and stable a quality inflatable board really is. The contact zone between feet and board provides a reassuring grip and feel, and the thing motors along and glides across the water in such a positive fashion. It’s a real pleasure!
The extending paddle itself is adequate although I preferred to use my old rigid paddle through habit as much as anything. It was time for my son to join me on the board and again it coped admirably! He found it comfortable and liked the fact it was a little wider than our old board which gave him the confidence to stand up and attempt to keep his balance. There’s even a camera mount that will no doubt come in handy for attaching our GoPro which means we’ll now be able to reminisce about our days on the water together watching the captured footage.
Just a great day out, made easier by our new Airefina kit. No punctures, no air leaks and for once, no falling off for me, though my son did take great pleasure in pushing me in(twice)
It’s great value and it’s built to last, so I’d happily recommend anyone that is looking to get involved in this great activity to give it a go.
Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.
All the bes
Airefina Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Set.
I dont have a great deal of experience with paddle boards i only own one other which was also a lets say beginners set very similar to this one.
Everything about this set is in my opinion better than average the only thing im not keen on is the camera mounts as i have no need for them but understand that some people especially beginners will.
Board weighs around 12kg and once inflated has a good solid feel and a nice non slip grip.
Board comes as a set which includes lead, adjustable paddle, pump, fins and a water proof carry/storage bag.
So far so good, very happy with this board.
It’s got a bright and colourful display which is beautiful and appears to be well made.
I pumped it up easily it no problems with the pump provided, you can however also use an electric pump and it would be even easier.
Comes with lots of accessories like a water proof phone case, repair kit, paddle and sharks fin.
Truly all you need to get going.
I also find the board is easy to get back into the bag when deflated making transporting it a breeze.
I have not put it in the water yet as we have a few months yet to wait for the weather to warm up before I’m brave enough to get in British waters but that said so far I am extremely happy with this item.
Great price considering the amount of add ons you get with this set and also the great quality.
