Ark

Being new to the sport, my wish list for paddle boards was much larger than my budget. I knew i wanted something more than what is at Costco and Sports Authority but almost folded. I am very glad that I didn't and found the Greco Ark package. It truly comes with everything to get you started and the board itself is excellent (for those starting out)on flat water. Nice and stable and fun to paddle. I can't wait to get it out even more this summer and even on a couple rivers. Note: I found it on Amazon originally but read the reviews (all good) and went direct to the Greco site (free Shipping) Pros Stability Full package Clean look Cons Too new to the sport to give any cons. May update as I improve and ride more boards. Usage Flat Water Lakes and slow rivers

My son in law researched boards to buy after our first lesson. He came upon Greco by Google search. The board is amazing. Light weight, very easy to paddle. We bought the package with the paddle! We bought a second as our family is now turned on to paddle boarding! The president of the company took the time to write me a letter thanking me for my business. Great customer support! And mission oriented! Pros Everything! Light weight, maneuverable ,great paddle! Cons There's nothing negative! Usage Exercise now, but getting into racing

Awesome, cool, fabulous! Pros Soft, sleek, stable, comfortable. Everyone in the family loves it. Cons Usage Gentle recreation, serene cruising on creek & lake, so far, hope to get more adventurous

The Greco Ark is what started my obsession with SUP. It's what I took my first lesson on. It's what I take my kids out on. It's a great board at a great price. You can get two or three boards for the whole family with what some pay for one board. It's a little slow and for some reason, my feet experience more fatigue on this board than any other when I paddle with bare feet. Don't know if it's the soft top, but my feet hurt sometimes when I use this board. But if I wear flip flops or take a break, I'm fine. Otherwise, this board is a great option. It's a stable board for beginners and a great board if you want to take your kids along. Greco Surf is a great company that isn't afraid to show its faith. The company has a ministry it is invoked in that is proudly displays on its website. Their customer service is top notch. If you want a good board from a great company with a great price, the Greco Ark is worth checking out. Pros Great price and super stable Cons A little slow Usage Touring
