Super awesome as a first paddle board that is affordable!My sister has an ROC board but i wanted to stay at or below, the 200 mark and i saw Tigerxbang on social media and youtube from time to time while i was researching the best way to choose an iSUP and decide to get one and they seem to have coupons or sales pretty frequently in amazon so it didn’t break the bank at all!It was WAY easier to inflate than when i would help my sister inflate hers. I was able to inflate mine pretty fast even with a cool off/water break since it’s SO HOT where i am and i’m very out of shape.. loli found the manual it came with had a lot of good tips but mine did show the slightly larger board so some of the details were different, like the fin and accessories.the single fin was a tad bit confusing to put in and remove but i figured it out in about 3 minutes TOPS. and it held up great when i had it beached while loading it up with my stuff and even with some waves pushing it a bit it didn’t scuff or anything.It’s Paddle is nice! the grip part feels a tad bit cheap but i think it helps it float?? i was trying to get it to sink in the shallow end and it wouldn’t or it would pop back up which is amazing, i never expected the paddle to float.It is a little wobbly but i don’t mind because when my sisters dogs were in it they weren’t anywhere near tipping us, it is WAY easier to stand/find my balance on compared to when i was trying to stand on my sisters. I didn’t fall off while standing, i just fell down, but i only fell into the water when i was being dumb and leaned with my sisters dogs leaping off and we rolled lol, the bungee cords kept all my stuff secure tho and i was just able to flip it back over and continue on.Maneuvers really well and is quick! I have to learn the paddle some as i’m used to a kayak paddle and i opted for the package with less accessories, im doing well so far with learning to paddle straight and switching sides after every 3-5+ strokes (do your own research im a beginner this is what is working for me)Honestly exceeded my expectations for a beginner, cheaper board. Highly recommend over some other brand-less cheap boards.a bit updated it’s great.did a 5.5 miles trip and had so much fun and i think the instability came from me being a newbie because i felt more stable on this trip than when i first used it, i had a heavy ass 24 can soft side cooler and dogs on and off my board and even had dogs climbing up the side at one point and it did awesome. i saw a few other tigerxbang boards as well and people seemed to enjoy theirs just as much as i do mine!this packs very well and it truly pumps up so fast and much easier than my sisters other brand board which we have to take turns to blow up manually, highly HIGHLY recommend over other amazon boards if you are looking for great quality at a great price :)
