If this is someone’s idea of having a great Summer, I’m out. This is the dumbest, most boring (sport) activity on the planet. And everyone I have ever seen use one of these stupid, overpriced things looks bored. This is nothing more than a $400 raft for most of us. Give me a Cummin’s Diesel and a wakeboard, Woot! Live a little!
I have one of these and love it. I live on a boat in Seattle and ride mine daily in the spring and summer. This one is a GREAT price and being able to roll up and stow it at the end of the season is great. Their video is a bit deceptive. It takes a long time and much effort to inflate. The last few PSI I couldn’t do myself and had my fiancé handle. There is no way that thin woman inflated that thing at the beach by herself.
One word of advice, flip the board upside down then back over just before you get on. It makes the foamy grippy part much more comfortable on bare feet.
I bought this exact board the last time it was offered on woot (Dec 8) for $499.99 + shipping. It’s still sitting new in the box in my basement waiting for the snow to melt. I can’t comment on performance of the board, but it showed up undamaged and is smaller than I expected when rolled up. My only complaint is the accelerated rate of depreciation ($20 in 18 days). Ouch.
Shampshi - Glad you are enjoying your board! The pump has been improved and now it’s relatively easy. You probably have the older black pump which admittedly hard to finish inflating the board with. The new pump is gray with a yellow hose, and that’s what included with this package deal. Highly recommended upgrade. Much easier!
MichOutdoors - But have you tried it yourself? Trust me I thought the same thing myself before trying it, but once you give it a go you will understand what the appeal is, and why it’s the fastest growing water sport in the world!
This is really tempting, especially since weakling me might actually be able to inflate it. I bought one last year at Costco. It was non-inflatable, and it is fun to use on a local lake.
When I want to travel 90 miles to the ocean this might be better since you do not have to worry about it flying off your car (if you remember to put it inside the car).
Will it work with battery operated pumps, or just the one that comes with it?
