AKUALA Inflatable SUP Board All-Around Stand Up Paddle Board SUP Package

This is an awful product. I got it a couple of days ago and went to inflate it for the first time today. Immediately it was leaking air from right around the inlet valve. As far as I can tell there is no way to repair this because it is coming from under the plastic valve where it connects into the board. Thought I might try anyway so I grabbed the "repair kit" and opened it up only to discover there was no adhesive included with a note inside stating that they aren't allowed to ship it because of "regulations" but not to worry because: "It's easily available at any hardware store". An absolute piece of junk... avoid at all (or any) costs.

I chose 12.6 board and highly recommend this size. Excellent stability and tracking. Versatile: use alone, with dogs or partner. I'll be doing lot's of solo fitness trips and fishing with a cooler on it.I'd love to give this board five stars, and I would despite couple of small drawbacks, but the board I got has a small defect: it's slightly crooked in shape, about 5% deviation from an ideal shape on the right side towards the nose. As if the material wasn't aligned properly when glued together. I don't feel it will significantly impact the performance. But it is noticeable ... and it made me consider a return / exchange. The reason I didn't do the return is because I'm environmentally conscious customer. I hate the idea of a returned product being wasted, and/or wasting more fuel and packaging. Buying new stuff is hard on environment as it is, returning products with slight defects makes it even worse. Let's talk about what actually deserves five stars:Solid quality materials. Probably not top of the line, but definitely not cheap either. Feels like a real good value for the money.Excellent paddle. Lightweight, modern and well-designed. A bit loose in extension point, but i can easily fix it by applying a layer of epoxy coat or tape inside, making connection grip tighter.Beautiful design. It is simply elegant and graceful, with well-balanced logo that doesn't feel too much, like on many other boards. I'd say that given it's aesthetic appeal, it is a sexy paddle-board.I was surprised how lightweight it is when fully inflated. Easy to carry and lift on top of the car.Great stability on the water. You can fish, do yoga, take your partner or kids on it. Nice to just lay down and chill, sunbathe or even take a nap.The air pump is surprisingly good quality and high volume, making it overall a very manageable task to inflate it. Took me about 10 min, some exercise, yes, but then again if you are planning to paddle you are ready for some physical action.The air retention system is high tech, easy to switch from the air pump to a lid, without loosing any air.I don't feel that the carry-on bag is as nice as advertised, it is basically a cheap utility, but i didn't expect much on that end, so no big deal.Solid. Beautiful. Good quality.

this paddle board is perfect. I went with the long 12'6" board. Great stability. I normally use this with my wife laying down towards the front , then I stand about 3/4 the way back and paddle the board. The board stays up and out of the water with both of us on it , Which the wife enjoys. It came with all the needed parts- seals , for the pump- pump- fins - nice back pack. Just a good product! I have ridden a Saturn paddle board which was about 11' , which I loved. But this board exceeded my expectations. Great value for the board !!!

I got the 12'6" board and have zero experience with paddle boards till taking this out to the lake. Very calm flat water there, so no idea how this does in the ocean. No problem at all supporting my 175lbs and my nephew at @165lbs plus my cooler full of ice, water bottles and a 12 case of beer. I think we exceeded it's weight limit or was very close and it was fine.The paddle is a little loose at the bottom connection, but I wrapped scotch tape around the section that inserts into the middle part of the paddle and that stiffened it right up. The handle can be made tight or looser by turning the clasp used to lock it down.

This board looks great and inflates/packs up well. I purchased the 9'8 board and am giving it 3 stars because it is not suitable for my weight. I weigh 140 lbs and the board sank significantly leading to a very wobbly unstable ride. In addition the adjustable paddle does not lock securely at my desired height and had to be readjusted often. I believe this board would work perfectly fine for me if I got the larger one, but based on the description i didn't think it was necessary. I should state that i inflated it to 14 PSI and the max is 15. I will be trying it one more time, inflated to 15 before deciding if I will return it or update my review. Again, the quality seems legit, just wish it supported weight better.

Everything arrived in working order, board is beautiful. First ride was great enough to consider ordering another while they had the intro price since I have a feeling one of my friends will want one. The paddle is the weakest link in the package... lots of flex, loose at adjustment point and bottom connection. Backpack is good but I wouldn't want to hike a long distance with it. Deck pad is not comfortable but is sticky. I paddle a solid board weekly but am planning to use this for vacations, rivers, and friends

Very happy with the quality of the board. It tracks straight very easily and is stable even in choppy ocean water. The paddle is weighted nicely as it is made of carbon fiber however the top part of the assembly will not lock down. This is how it showed up.

Love this board. Everything works flawlessly. It's not light but it is light enough to carry. At 14psi it's like a rock. Picture shows 0 bowing under the 145lbs of me. At 12psi with hard waves I felt a tiny bit of give but negligible. Paddle is light and works great. I'm not a surfer so when the waves get big I paddle on my knees. The adjustable paddle makes this simple. Only thing I wish it had was a few d rings on the back side of the board too but there's plenty of tie down room on the front so no biggy.

11フィートを購入。購入の翌日届き1度組み立ててみました。ポンプ、リーシュ、フィン、パドルなど1式揃っているので、あとはライフジャケットを揃えればほとんどが揃いそのまま楽しめそうです。ボディもしっかりしていて幅もあり安定していそうです。週末に湖にて試すのが楽しみです。追記届いた週末に本栖湖にて初乗り。付属の手動ポンプにて13気圧まで10分ほど。電動ポンプがあると楽そうですね。木目調のデザインも気に入りました。YouTubeなどで乗り方を頭に叩き込んできたので、30分くらいで慣れてきて半日ほどでかなりのスピードで乗れるまでになりました。妻と二人乗りをしましたが浮力があり安定していました。他のSUPを試したことが無いですが充分満足できる商品でした。
