Grandkids absolutely loved these!! Easy to pump up and deflate. Fold nicely into carrying case/ backpack. Paddles do sink if left in water too long. Learned hard way. Kids and younger adults had no problem standing. My 225 lbs was a different story- don’t have balance I used to. Getting from knees to standing on dry ground hard enough- not a prayer of it working on these but can’t fault the boards.
