Flow 116

I haven't been on many paddleboards to compare this to but a friend took me out on hers and I had a blast!!! I definitely need to work on my balance but this was a nice and smooth ride

We bought a Pelican Flow 116 board for our pond a few weeks ago - it took on water internally, so we unscrewed the front plug, which rolled off and disappeared (it was not secured internally). Called Pelican for a replacement - which cost $16.72 w/ shipping. Even though it should be covered under warranty for 2 years, they wanted the proof of purchase SENT to them in Canada first - summer would be over by the time we received the plug, so I went ahead and payed out. Just seems like lousy customer service to me. Pros before it started taking on water, we enjoyed the board in our pond Cons lousy customer service/warranty Usage pleasure and exercise only

Bought one on clearance as a spare for family to use, was surprised how nice it was to paddle, handled almost a good as my more expensive boards. It's a great value for a starter board. Pros Durable - don't have to worry about damaging the surface. easy to paddle and plenty of tie downs. Cons Heavy (50lbs)) and miss the padding going to the front, dogs slips off. Usage basically no wave or wind, lake and small rivers/creeks.

I am new to the SUP world. I didn't know anything about what type of board, for what type of conditions, to buy ie, lake, ocean, choppy, flat etc. I have seen great reviews for the Pelican SUP Flow 116. When I found this site, it prompted me to go ahead and purchase the flow 116. I love this board. I am 5'4 150lbs (give or take lol). Our son is 11 years old 5'6, 120 lbs. My fiancé is 5'11, 190 lbs. We also wanted a board to strap our beautiful Golden Retriever Maddey to. Maddey is 4 years old, 76 lbs. This particular Pelican SUP, fits all of our needs. Maddey knows when we're going to the lake, as soon as she sees me looking at the SUP, she is ready to go. This is one great board, and I am thrilled that I bought it. I had an old Nissan truck that I sold, to pay for the SUP, so we can enjoy Norris Lake with each other, and Maddey. Pros The stability it offers, and the fact that, it doesn't rock back and forth, like a canoe, or a bass boat would. Maddey Loves her Pelican board. Price point, $500.00 + -, is a small price paid, compared to the fun, two adults, one kid, and a Golden are having, exploring the lake, and it's coves. Cons There are no cons, that I can think of. This board is heavy, but that is not a con, I think it's weight, paves the way, for it's awesome stability. Usage 2 to 3 times a week, ALL summer long.

The Pelican Flow 11'6" SUP is extremely inexpensive and perfect for a beginner. This board offered our family amazing stability while learning to paddle board. This board can be found for under $500 at most stores, and will give beginners a chance to try out and learn to paddle board without breaking the bank. Pros -amazing stability -great price -great for a beginner Cons -this board will make you fall in love with SUP and you will want to buy a more expensive board that has the ability to go faster Usage Our family used this board for exercise and touring around the lake. We have only used this board in a lake that is calm.

I have no regrets starting with this board. It seems to fit my needs. It seems very durable. The price point is great compared to my perceived level of enjoyment from any paddle board. Pros The board is very stable from sitting to standing and standing to sitting. Cons It is a little heavy but not a problem as it is stored on a pontoon boat. Usage Exploring shallow coves at our lake is quite enjoyable.

I bought this board about a month ago. I needed one that could hold a little extra weight. Since Im new to the sport I wanted a cheaper board to start. Also our time to use it is limited in Michigan. So far Ive had a lot of fun on area lakes with minimal waves. The board does have a plug but havent had any leaking yet. Seems to be a fairly stable board, that I can easily change positions on. Pros All the handles, bungees on front, durable material, price point, easy to get on, no leaks around screw holes, and that it holds 260 lbs Cons Seems very heavy, not easy for one person to move, I wish the center was a little more rigid, its squishy, not real stable in small waves (maybe my fault), not the easiest to steer but Im use to a kayak. Usage Used for touring, exercising, just relaxing on the lake

Amazing board for beginners. Great stability, easy to maneuver, perfect for lakes, light surf, and shallow waters/rivers. Pros Great stability, flexible fin, safe against rocks/other obstacles in shallower rivers Cons Seam along sides is a bit rough, could use one or 2 more fins for better tracking Usage I use it all summer for fun on the lakes, exercise, and touring
