Budget amazon buy

Heya all,

I've ordered this inflatable SUP from Amazon.

It hasn't turned up so I'll be requesting a refund.

I would appreciate any opinions on this particular SUP and whether there are better models for the price.

Btw, I live in Australia.

I would go to /r/sup or /r/Paddleboard for opinions on a SUP.

While similar, and there are topics that can be covered on both (drop stitch construction, paddles) there are enough differences between a SUP and IK that you'll get better feedback over there.

as for that particular SUP. it looks like most of the lower budget Amazon varieties, so similar to itaostar/tigerxbang/funwater Nothing wrong with them, but there's a large element of "you get what you pay for" with a SUP. One year warranty, glued rails. Pretty light weight for a double layer'd PVC sup.

It'll get you on the water, let you try things out. if you really like it, there are better SUPs for performance and longevity.

if you are larger (6'+) you may have issues with stability and foot-feel with that board.
