Great paddleboard for the money. Zero flex at 12-15psi. Takes about 8 minutes to inflate with the included pump. First 5 minutes is easy, last 3 minutes makes you sweat. I'm 5'10 at 200# and this board didn't flex at all. I've used it as a stand up paddleboard and also with a kayak seat (it has d-rings for attachment) and a kayak paddle as a sit down board. I frequently paddle to islands on a nearby lake to camp overnight and, while I've only carried gear for a grill out in the evening (small cooler, grill grate, utensils, etc), it wouldn't be unrealistic at all to lash a dry bag at the front and rear for an overnighter. Tracks ok w/ long paddle strokes close to the board with a slight 'j' at the end of the paddle stroke...nothing like required for a canoe, but same principle. I have about 10 water hours on this board so far and think that it's well worth the money. Probably the biggest plus is that it is light!!! My sit on top kayak of the same length weighs in at about 60#...this paddleboard feels like it tops the scales in the 20-25# range. While I wouldn't take it whitewater rafting, I've pulled it up on sand beaches numerous times, as the bottom is a very tough, rubber-like fabric. No issues.
