"I rented a SUP one time and decided to purchase my own. While I am new at SUP, I've done other activities like dragon boat, outrigger, and kayaking. For reference, I am 4'11", 110 lbs, I drive a small car, and live in an apartment. An iSUP was the only option for me. I was looking for lightweight, a decent paddle, and pump that I could use comfortably, at a moderate price. I have used it 5 times, so far: - Board is lightweight and I can easily carry it on my own, the carry bag is high quality and I can carry it as a backpack easily, too. - Inflating was what I expected. It's easy because I'm short and don't have to bend over, but takes some muscle. It takes about 4 min to get to psi 2, and another 6-7 minutes to get to 12psi - 11 min total. I consider it a warm up. (Read the instructions on the website - you may think the pump is broken, but it doesn't register until you get to psi 1 and the board will appear almost "full" at that point .) - The paddle is a higher quality than most, it's sturdier and the adjustable shaft won't shift while you're paddling. Overall, I think it was worth the price and I'm happy with my purchase!."
