I think this is the best paddle board you can get for anyone especially for beginners. Is big which means it has a LOT of space and great stability but when the wind is strong get ready to use those arms. It's my first paddle board so I consider my self a beginner. That being said, I didn't struggle a bit understanding how to inflate and assemble all the accessories that came with it. In my first try there was another person (adult) with me, two coolers and two bag packs. I was a little worried about the weight and of course it was my first time but the board managed no problem.Talking about accessories, I don't think you can find a better deal than this, I mean, it even comes with a seat and a good pump. If you want to add more accessories you can use any of the three star sockets, meaning that many kayak and boats accessories can fit as well in your paddle board. I did took advantage of that and added a cup holder for my drink.
