We ordered two of these paddle boards during an Amazon flash sale and really could not be happier with them. It is also worth mentioning, if you have ANY issues with your board, contact the seller/company directly. They are friendly, helpful and efficient. (One of the fins was missing the little piece that locks it into place, and one of the paddles had a defective part. I contacted the company directly, and they sent me a new fin and paddle - which I received in just a few days.)The board takes about 5 minutes to inflate by hand with the pump that is included. They are very lightweight, and easy to carry. Once you're on the water, they are nice and easy to steer - even for a beginner like me! When you're finished, just rinse them off with the hose and let them air dry before deflating and rolling them up. They deflate fast, roll up nicely, and fit in their storage/carry bag with plenty of room to spare. We have been enjoying them since the day we received them!
