Easy to inflate with hand pump, sturdy, durable, holds myself (130 Lbs) along with my two pups (gsd 90 lbs, and lab, 50 lbs) along with cooler without any issue. No worries or concerns about dog claws puncturing it as it is quite durable. Comes with paddle, pump, ankle leash, bag that has shoulder straps for carrying, and the inflatable board. Got mine from Costco, my roommate and my friend both got one as well, would buy again and highly recommend for ease of travel with board and for long floats.
