Jarvis Boards is a horrible company. Their apparent owner, Tony, does subpar work.

First, it took forever to receive. Then when I finally received it my board half finished. It had to be returned. It took another week or so to send back. Tony advised that it would be returned in a week and also stated he would provide a full return at his discretion. It took 3 weeks to receive and I never received my return. He never got back to me.

I filed a dispute with the bank and that's when Tony reached out and said he was going to provide return but will not deny dispute. A month later he disputed and I was billed. Jarvis boards is a horrible business. I caution anyone to purchase their boards. They will do anything to quite their negative business practices.

I'll be honest. What initially convinced me to by this board were the Instagram photos featuring a vizsla happily riding the board alongside her owner. My dog is offended by puddles, and so I chose this board over others with the conviction that *this* board would convince my vizsla to SUP. Naive, you say? Read on. But first, what I got in the process was EXCELLENT customer service, a prompt (and well-packaged) delivery, and a stunning paddleboard that's hands down the best looking one out there. It's manageable to carry and a dream in the water: stable enough for beginners, but capable of getting some good speed too. What of my puddle-averse dog, you ask? He waded in the river and jumped on the board, contently riding with me for hours. Dreams do come true when you buy this board.

Before hopping on a Jarvis Board, I had only paddled inflatable boards. The difference was immediate! For starters, no more pumping your board up for 20 minutes before getting on the water. Once on the water this board was much more stable and much much faster than the inflatables that I normally paddle.
