Our family previously purchased a "beginner board" which a friend of ours had recommended as suitable for tandem riding with our smaller children, and we really liked that one for getting the kids comfortable on a stand-up paddleboard. We did find it to be more like a kayak than a SUP in terms of how it handled, though, and were ready to get a more "ridable" board for the grown-ups and for when the older kids want to actually paddleboard, while still having the other super-stable stable, slightly longer beginner board for playing around on, especially with multiple kids. We found the ABYSUP 10' 6" iSUP to be just right to take our skills (adult and the older kids) to the next level, and were satisfied as well with the build quality, accessories, etc. Here are the details, for those who want to know more before buying, and I will upload photos soon.PACKAGING AND ACCESSORIESThe shipping packaging is about what you would expect. The product arrived in perfect condition, and was easy to unpack. No unusual smells, just the normal smell of any new vinyl product and not overly strong. I will say that all the individual items were very well wrapped and protected, and everything looked perfect when we unpacked it at the beach in the back of the minivan. The manual provided enough detail for someone who is new to iSUP to figure out how to assemble the parts and start riding, but since we have had an iSUP before, it was all very apparent. We ordered in Shaka (mint color) and it is a very nice shade, matching the photos in the product listing. The consistent color scheme of the board/leash/pump/bag/paddle is pleasing and made it look like a well thought out, quality product. Make sure you understand the details of the pump before you try to use it, as it has selectable double action (inflates on up and down strokes) or single action (inflates on down strokes only) and you want to use double for initial inflation and deflation, and single action to get the board up to full pressure. It also has inflate and deflate connections, so again know what you want to do and configure the pump accordingly. Our pump was colored to exactly match the board color, and I expect that is the case on the other two-color choices as well. The leash is shorter than on our other board, which I liked now that I am more experienced. A longer leash can get in the way because of slack when you are standing in the standard paddle position, but this leash was unobtrusive when riding, with a well-padded cuff and quality swivel. The leash was also color matched very well to the other parts. The paddle seemed like it fit together very well (more on that below) and was adjustable beyond the height I needed at 5' 11" tall, and also worked for my daughter who is under 5', and even adjusted down to use as a seated paddle. The storage bag has multiple ways to carry (backpack, top handle) and also has compression straps to secure the load when carrying it, plus dividers inside to keep the paddle from damaging the board. The bag worked great to bring all the pieces down to the sand, which was great because I didn't want to inflate at the car like I normally do because it was windy that day.GETTING IN THE WATERThe inflation process was comparable to our other iSUP, and I expect there is not much to go wrong with this process on a well-designed product like this. Connections were easy, and instructions were clear. Yes, it can be some work to inflate an iSUP, but our family can't store or transport a rigid board, and you can ride all day after spending 10-15 minutes inflating the iSUP. The manual and printing on the board itself all recommend 15-22.5 PSI inflation pressure (there is a gauge on the pump) but I really wanted to get out and had found previously that 14 PSI was enough on our other board, so only went to a little over 14 PSI. The board was rigid enough for me and my 9-year-old to ride together and for me to ride alone without any excessive flex and with good float position in the water. Attaching the fin and adjusting the paddle were simple. I put the accessories I didn't need in the water (pump, patch kit, inflatable small fin covers used for storage, manual) back into the bag and we headed down, using the built-in bungee tie-down to hold my dry bag with some water and snacks, a towel, and my car keys so I didn't have to leave them on the beach. The board is definitely easier to steer than our other board, which was great now that I have been out on an iSUP a few times, but I am sure a beginner would be very comfortable. I found that this paddle really floats, and not just for a few seconds, when daughter decided to move unexpectedly and I ended up falling off. This is because the pieces of the paddle seal together very well to hold air in, and water out. I did find I needed to adjust one of the clamps on the paddle to make it tighter, which I did on the water. I recommend you check this when you are still on land by seeing if you can slide the sections together when clamped and if so, open the clamp and turn to tighten. It is obvious what to do when you look at it. My daughter did take the paddle with me on it and was able to move and steer it, and even ended up riding a little on her own in the shallows. The anti-slip surface had good traction when wet or dry, and there were no leaks or other construction issues.HEADING HOMEDeflation process was uneventful. The pump, in double-action mode on deflate connection, allowed to fully purge the air before storing. Make sure to wipe down, if possible after first rinsing with clean water, before storing to prevent smells/mildew and maximize the life of your iSUP. Use the inflatable protectors over the small fins before rolling back up as it came in the package. Clean, dry, and break down the paddle and remove the definitely leash, and store in the compartments provided in the carry bag. Use compression straps to secure the load to make carrying on your back easier.FINAL COMMENTSThere is really not much to improve here on this reasonably priced paddleboard. I would have loved if it had the D-rings for a kayak seat like my other iSUP. The color coordination really makes the whole kit look so nice, especially at this price point. I wish the carry straps were a little wider, but I won't be carrying it long distances so it probably doesn't matter. Make sure to check the paddle clamps before you go out on the water. I definitely want to try this out in the waves instead of the back bay, and to start learning how to carve, spin turn, and more, and I think this is the perfect board for that.
