Love this board, bought it a few years ago and still going strong, pretty easy to pump with the included pump, about 5-10 min and off you go. I added some shock cord to the front and back, also bought this with the kayak seat that hooks into the ad-rigs, so that I can travel long distances, camp and paddle, bring everything I need and when I get a little tired or my dogs need a rest, I can sit and paddle for awhile. Have a sup/kayak paddle, started with the one from Saturn and nice paddle, and just got an accent versa max, really liking it.
All in all for the price, can't go wrong, easy to paddle, stable and has good speed, but for leisure paddling for sure!
I have used this mainly on rivers and lakes and will continue to keep one of these around for sure, even if I decided to get a hard board, will keep a Saturn for packing and traveling with. Kids love it as well, very easy for them and if they do fall, soft and safe!
I would recommend a Saturn board for anyone looking to get unto sup paddling, someone who wants to try out the inflatables and see how they like them, this was me, and for the price, can't beat it and love it!!
Pros
Price
Stable
Holds up
Portable
D-rings are a great plus for shock cord, kayak seat, etc..
Cons
Leisure paddling, not for speed or heaven waves, etc..
Pumping can be trying, but not bad at all, just get a work out and a sweat going before you paddle
More vibration in the inflatable then a hard board
Usage
I use this board all the time and love it, mostly fun, leisure paddling, added shock cord to the d-rings to tie down gear for long paddles, camping and paddling, multi-day trips. Also use it for fun with kids every now and then and they love it, safe, soft and easy for them to use, very stable once they get the hang of it!
