Overall seems great, held air & didnt hear any leaks. Could spray it with soapy water to be sure but i just pressed on it, left it for a while, seems good. Love the wood look & design. I like the idea of a chill raft that can be paddled like a kayak & could be surfed on small waves (not gonna turn great but w/e).I was looking at shorter ones bc these are all pretty large but there was a used like new deal I couldn't pass up, &it's nice that I could have a friend chill on it with me.The wrench for locking the air valve was seated but I kind of had to press it down with one hand & turn with the other to keep it that way. It was very hard to turn.The instructions said counter clock wise which is what I did, & started with light pressure but it was not turning & the wrench slipped & broke.Not really a big deal to me, it seems very air tight without locking the valve down, & I plan on using it on calm waters close to shore. I'm confident it'll be fine with the plug over it.I like that it has the 2 small fins in case the large one gets broken or lost, you'll still have some tracking in the water, & they're rubbery not brittle so they can pack with it & not break. Good idea. The large fin is hard plastic/polymer.Mine came with the 2 patches but no glue so I'll have to research what to use or probably just get some good super glue.The pump worked great, you put the hose on the other side to deflate it. Good instructions besides my second picture which I found a bit confusing
