We caught it on a deal and so I was a little skeptical, but this paddle board exceeded my expectations.The materials were on par with all my friends paddle boards, and it inflated as expected. We got it to about 11 psi. I'm glad it came with a pump, but I'm probably going to look into one I can plug in my car. I like that the bag is oversized, so everything fits in easily. I also like that the bag has backpack straps. The fin attaches easily and securely. I like the handles and the straps for securing our shoes (and chips). With 4 of us on it at once, it balanced pretty well. We also scraped the rocks a couple of times (the tide went out) and the fin held up well. The sand washed off easily and we were able to roll it back up pretty quickly. My middle kid loves the paddle and calls it his "sword". I'm able to carry the paddle board by myself (5'7", 147lbs and moderately active).I think I need another one.
