I was a bit wary of an inflatable of this category, because I was afraid the material could easily be damaged by an underwater tree branch or something similar.After getting this I'm confident this will last forever if I take good care when storing it.The material in thick, really sturdy, so sturdy that an small battery powered inflator could not handle it, it was unable to even put any air on it. We had to get a bigger, more powerful inflator that can be seen on one of the images.The package includes a sheet to patch in case of any issues too.The stand surface is nice and does not feel bad to our feet, also feels safe and totally anti slippery.The included storage is good quality and very spacious, it easily fit the board, the paddle and the hand inflator, with space to spare. We have there also the battery inflator and a pair of shorter paddles to use it as "kayak" board, and there is still more space to fill.If I don't recall bad, it said to inflate to 15 PSI, but we managed to get it to 13 PSI with the hand pump and was hard enough, so I think with 13 PSI we are good to go.Be advise to read carefully the instructions, the air intake has an "smart" valve that needs to be set correctly when inflating or deflating the board.At the beginning I talk about the caring, it's important to clean it after use with water to remove any dirt or salt water, and store it in the case, and not leaving it in the car, heat will kill it.The stability fin is a bit small, but is removable, so it can be replaced for a bigger one if needed.As far as I can tell, this board has a top quality and easy to assemble and dis assemble.We are very pleased with the quality and item so far.
