It worked great first year…
It worked great first year but than the next season I went out and surprisingly, right after inflation to 13psi the side joint completely let go. I fixed it with the glue but didn’t have a chance to go out again as my daughter was born so I waited another year. Excited to finally go on water, first day was great. Second day all of a sudden joint on another side let go and it was harder to fix, but I did that. This meant I could paddle for another day at my vacation and really made me not happy. Believe it or not, the day after when the glue on another side was set I inflated and the leak started on other side , another joint. Something is wrong with the glue, I wrote to customer service but they replied in kind of a rude matter that the warranty expired few months ago and that it’s my problem now. I expected some kind of different customer service from company which people say stands behind their product even after official warranty expires. ( my problems started with the warranty still on but because of the situation I didn’t use it as I should have) Just to inform. The paddleboard was always stored inside, properly taken care of. I wrote them at least to explain me what could be the cause of this but never got any answer. I had other boats from them and never had problems and I always thought if I would I would be fine. This makes me feel like I would not consider SeaEagle again.
I do not need a car top rack…
I do not need a car top rack and store it in my house. It fits easily in the car's back seat or trunk. It comes with a bag which makes it easy to carry. It slices through the water.
Pros
No car roof rack needed.
Compact and easy to store anywhere.
Easy to carry.
Cons
Bought pump and thought it had a self contained rechargeable battery. It needs a separate battery.
Usage
Exercise
Easy to store, setup, inflate, carry, and paddle. It is light and very easy to carry to and from the water. It does not require a car rack so you save here. At home you do not have to find a long storage space. You do need to take the time to inflate it but save the time needed to put it on the car rack and to take it off.
Pros
Easy to store.
Cons
Manual inflation. The electric pump requires a battery.

We ordered 2 boards and it was send to us in Japan. The communication with the company was perfect. Questions answered, etc. We have been using it since to SUP, tour on lakes around Japan. The board, when inflated (by electric pump) is rock hard and easy to use. The back fin is easy to remove ( without tools). It also means we can then use it in swallow water parts too. We had a manufacturing problem with one of them. internal stitching maybe. Took some pictures, send an email and was send an apology and a new board. Great customer service.
Pros
Easy to use. Nose is hard and cut through small waves easily. fits in any car. Comes with a handy bags to carry. Can use it also as a canoe and paddle around sitting. big so easy to use for suntanning in the middle of the lakes.
Cons
Like any inflatable board, windy days.
Usage
mostly exercise, touring and visiting water entrance shrines and temples. Can be used as good platform for SUP yoga poses.

Inflateable, portable. Great cruiser. I've taken my 126 to Port Charlotte Fl & St. Croix, USVI. It packs nicely & can float 2 adults. I'm 220 - won't tell my wife's weight;) But I paddled her quite easily. Pierces through the water to the point of rivalling my solid boards - which don't travel well. I bought my wife her own for our anniversary. It's light enough for her to carry competently.
We own 5 paddleboards in total: 2 solid & 3 inflateable. A solid 12'6 displacement & a 10'6 all around. It's so much easier manuevering and carrying my 2 126 Sea Eagles. These are my go to paddle boards. They pack nicely & compactly on my boat & don't scratch or dent it or themselves.
Pros
Inflateable, portable. Great cruiser. Handles & tie downs. No tool fin system. can use in shallow water without main skeg. Lightest way to have a 12'6 paddle board.
Cons
The con is what also makes it great - It's an inflateable.
Usage
Travel, touring, snorkle / boarding [USVI] camping, fishing...

Really surprised after first uses of the board. It has good tracking and stability, really cool for touring, training. Tried it with kids sit on the front, and work good with a nice tracking. The board is easy to inflate to 15 psi with the included pump, and is really solid like a rock at 15 psi. The removable finn is easy to take on and off without any Tools. Afer deflate, it can be stored on the included bag. Great buy !
