Flow 106

I am enjoying it as a beginner and the price was definitely worth it. It's 10-20lbs heavier than more expensive boards. For myself, a cart is needed. Pros It's a good size and the price was right Cons Too heavy for the average person to pick up and head for the beach Usage Exercise and touring the lake.

This is a great board for paddling around our lake. Kids have enjoyed using it also. Pros Inexpensive Cons The black rubber mat is staining feet and legs. Can't figure out what is causing it. Would like to know if there is a product we can use, so the black stops coming off on everything!! Usage Recreational, exercise, kids

Great board construction. Very sturdy with comfortable padding for footing. Paddle included is a nice addition. Pros All in one combo package Solid construction Cons None Usage Exercise. Recreational.

I rented one to float the river, and I loved it! I had a great time messing around on it and wish that I had one of my own. I just don't have the money for one right now... Pros I loved how easily moverable it was. I also really like that when I fell off it was super easy to get back on. Cons I don't like the price tag of it. Usage I use it to exercise, and sometimes yoga.

Bought this board about 2 months ago I'm new to paddle boarding I average about 2 times a week paddleboarding it's paid for itself already compared to renting. The price was great on sale for $499 would have preferred a better quality one would had to have waited longer to buy. It's abit on the bulky side but it goes pretty good. It tracks pretty good it weights about 50lbs but I'm getting used to it. I go out in open water you get tossed around in wavy water but it makes it more fun. I love paddle boarding being 55 yrs old I guess I will have to get a lighter board in time. I would recommend this board for the price and it's not a budget breaker. I plan on paddling as I get older and into my retirement years for exercise weather it's this board or a newer one Pros Price is right it balances well and tracks good. Cons Bulky and on the heavier side but manageable. Usage I use it for exercise and touring.

A great board for starters as its width accommodates those learning to balance on the water, easy to store/load/unload and easy to maneuver in the water.. Found this at Dunham's Sports with a coupon. This is the first board I've owned and so far happy with it. Have been using it for about a month now in the cooler springtime water. Pros Easy to load/unload and store by myself. I am on the shorter side and not a lot of upper-body strength. I am able to carry this above my head. We have a removable sport rack on my car with J-hooks/racks; We are able to fit our small kayak on the racks and the board is just narrow enough to lay flat on the side of the rack without the J racks, and we were able to tie it down with the (6'?) straps that came with it. My almost-6-year-old likes to sit/lie on the front of the board while I paddle. I'm on the bulkier side but even with the 2 of us on the board we still stay well above the water. Even though it's narrow enough to fit doubled with a kayak on our roof rack on the car, it's also WIDE enough for maneuvering doing yoga while on the water. In addition to tying across the board onto the rack we tied it down in the front and back (under front hood and through trunk). We just latched the S-hooks of the straps onto the front and back handles and had no problem with the board coming loose, moving around, or catching too much wind from underneath when traveling on 4-lane highways. Even though it's not technically designed for serious racing I can get some pretty good momentum with not too much effort (part of which just comes from paddling correctly---but I think the optional removable fin is quite necessary if this is what you're going to do); The tracking on the bottom also seems to help keep the board from moving all over the place when going in a specific direction or trying to pick up speed. Cons I just have short arms, so carrying it by my side is doable but not as easy when you have to transport longer distances from your vehicle to the water. There is only one place to store stuff, under the bungee cords in front. But this is my only complaint, and doesn't affect me enough to be a deal-breaker. Usage Currently using this for sup yoga, flat water paddling both for scenic/leisure as well as recreational racing. Have been using on a couple different lakes as well as a small winding river that varies greatly in depth.

I love Paddle Boarding on my Pelican International. I loved it since the first time I got up on it. The most relaxing exercise I have ever done. I love the view from up there. Its so different then any other view. I can be paddle boarding for hours and not even realize it. I am most happy when I am on my board. This is paradise for me. I wish I could SUP every day of my life. That is my goal. Pros I love that durability of this board. It is very tough. I love the compfort of the deck. I love the durability of the fin. Its a good quality board. I love the weight capacity. I love that I can attach a seat and I have a second paddle so I can turn this SUP into a sit on top kyak. I love that it can carry water bottles and floatation devices. It is easy to care for and keep clean. It is very easy to maneuver and paddle with. I love the size of it beacuse I can do yoga easily and bring my kid and dog with me for a paddle too. Cons It is very heavy which makes it hard to carry around and get it on the roof rack alone. Usage I use this SUP for fun. I use it for exercise. I use it for touring around. I tried surfing with it but the waves are not big enough in my area. I also use it for Yoga.

I borrowed this board, so this review is based on 1 use on a lake. The board didn't track well, and was pretty slow. I think if you want a board for kids to play on this is perfect. But my perception is if you are looking for a board to see if you like to paddleboard, this board wont push you into the sport. Besides a lake toy for kids, it might be a decent board to use downstream on a slow moving river. Pros inexpensive Cons slow Usage child's lake toy- downriver

Great board for those looking for a super tough SUP for lake, flat water, and light river use. Pros Super stable, maneuverable, durable (tough as a kayak) can't ding it, lots of built in handles and deck lashing, rubber fin bends, not breaks, if you hit a rock. super affordable. Cons Some say it's heavy at 48 pounds, but I don't think it's hard to handle. The handles make it really easy to carry and car-top. Usage lake/flat water, Interpretive tours.

You get what you pay for. This board feels cheap and flimsy. It's like a hollow plastic kayak without the seat. That tiny flexible fin is a joke. This thing does not handle well and it won't go straight; it's very wobbly, but it's wide, so you won't fall. I rented this board for one hour and it was the worst paddling experience! Pros very cheap Cons poor maneuverability, unstable, extremely slow Usage flatwater cruising

Bought it for my wife and kids. They love it!!! Very stable, and easy to get use to. Wife and kids can ride together, as it has a high volume. Pros Stability, float, and deck space. Cons For me not an issue, but many struggle with its near 50lb weight. Usage Exercise, touring, recreation.

We purchased 2 of these one for me and for my daughter and this board is perfect for a beginner. Everyone who has tried has no trouble getting up. I love the versatility of it...you can stand up, sit and use it as a kayak or just lie on it and float. We are have a blast with them!! I did by some wheels to make it easier to get them around. Pros Great price, easy to use. The mat makes it comfortable to use. Also very fun. Cons A little heavy and awkward to carry. Usage On the lakes for touring and exercise.

Easy to sit down and kneel while paddling. I wobbled a lot and never felt stable while standing. This is probably a better board for intermediate paddlers. Pros Price. Flexible surface for kneeling. A nice amount of deck rigging for storage. Cons The deck is convex and your feet are not flat if you have a wide stance Usage Lake

I am very happy with this board. I have added a snap in kayak seat and with it on I can sit down and paddle with my kayak paddle then switch to kneeling down, then grab the stand up paddle from the deck rigging and stand up paddle...all without removing the seat! I like the versatility. It is pretty stable and tracks pretty well too. I like the ram-x material, seems like it is very durable. I've taken it out twice so far and no scratches so I don't need to baby it. Pros versatility,durability,color, price,4 handles and the center carry handle seems plenty deep Cons 48 lbs. Usage Playing on the lake

I'm a beginner and wanted to see if it's something I would like to do for fun and exercise. This is a good Board for just starting out! It's stable and easy to maneuver around the lake. Pros The price is right (for now!) Easy to do! Cons It's relatively heavy...48 lbs. Usage I use it for exercise and touring around our lake. great for the core!!
