Zupapa Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard with SUP Accessories, Non-Slip Deck - Perfect for Adults, Kids, and Dogs

The media could not be loaded.  This inflatable kayak / SUP it surprisingly sturdy and feels extremely solid! The double action pump gets the board inflated in about 5 to 7 minutes ... it actually ends up being a nice warm up. HOWEVER, the pressure gauge on the pump DOES NOT WORK and it has not EVER worked. It's for this reason that I'm giving this board four instead of five stars. There are several other reviews mentioning that the gauge does not work so the company really should improve the pump. I've been concerned a couple of times about over-inflating the kayak and making it rupture. So once I can tell it's getting pretty firm I slow down the pumping and do a test squeeze on the board. This is not ideal but so far I've had no issues. It just would have been great to have had a properly functioning air pump.I should mention one very critical thing. There's no leaking. I've used the board about a half dozen times and there have been zero leaks. I've poured water over the seal each time to make absolutely sure. No air leak.This board is easy to set up. I chose this one for a couple of reasons (1) its size (2) the foot rest - it is really great if you're new to kayaking. I also feel like the foot rest helps me to improve my form (3) large carrying backpack (4) the kayak seat... even though it could have been omitted (5) triple fins.This would be an almost perfect SUP if it also had two additional things: a camera mount and a grip handle in the middle of the board to make carrying it easier. Yet, I'm really enjoying this board! Being on the water is very soothing and it's great to actually meditate on the water.For transparency, I've only used the board as a kayak. I'm trying to gradually build up my upper body strength and balance so that I can use it as a SUP as well. That being said, the removable seat is absolutely useless LOL. It is too flimsy to offer any type of back support and it is cumbersome to attach.I'll wrap up by saying despite this being an inflatable, I've had no problems rowing when there was a bit of windiness. I also think the board is quite maneuverable, especially considering I'm a novice and still learning. I'm able to spin around and change directions easily.Overall this is a very solid inflatable SUP/kayak and I look forward to many hours of enjoyment on the water. Happy Kayaking!

I bought the Zupapa 10 foot inflatable stand up paddle board. It came with accessories that included a seat to turn it into a kayak. This was my first paddleboard purchase. And from the moment I first used it, I couldn’t stop thinking that it was probably my very best splurge purchase. I’m almost 50 years old, my kids who are 28, 23, 19, 15, and 12, have all used it. I LOVE IT. it is very easy to stand up on. I Enjoy sitting and “kayaking” on it. I’ve had it in the bay, in various rivers and creeks, in coves, in lagoons, and in natural springs. I’ve planned our entire summer around the water access to use this board wherever we were goingcamping. The attached bungee cord and the various loops have made this board so versatile. We put a waterproof backpack filled with drinks on the front of the board under the bungee cord. The little back loop is perfect to connect inflatable inner tubes so I can paddle the kids around or tow them back to shore. The board inflated easily with the pump that was provided. However I attach the pump tube to a battery operated inflator until the board is mostly full. Then I use the hand pump to put in the last five or six pumps necessary to finish filling it. It is very easy to deflate. I recommend deflating the board to carry it back OUT of the water if you have to walk far. It is kind of big and awkward to carry when you’re already tired. However, in the awesome accessory package is a strap that you can Snap around both ends of the board and sling around your shoulder to help balance the weight- making this board able to be carried by one person. It is sturdy enough to hold two people out on the water. This makes is good for my child who is a bit afraid of being out on the water alone. The three fins are detachable. You can remove the two side fins and use the board as a beginner surfboard as well. I inadvertently got caught in the wake of a boat and noticed that I was almost surfing the wake. Very cool idea that I am going to try again. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the company has a fantastic warranty policy. I contacted them to buy some replacement parts. I lost a fin screw and the handle started to separate from the board. Their customer service rep Heather was so attentive that she followed up with me multiple times. Meaning that the Zupapa rep initiated all of the contact after my first email. I sent pictures of the problem I was having and they handled it quickly. They sent me the tracking information and when I did not contact them to notify them that I received the shipment, they reached out to me again to verify receipt. This board was so great that I bought two other boards for my kids the day after I first used my Zupapa board. This one was out of stock so I bought two others from two different manufacturers. I can review those others as well but the Zupapa is my favorite for sturdy-ness, EXCELLENT acccessory package and customer service. I have used it from Delaware to MD to VA to FL over the course of the summer. Best idea I ever had was buying this board instead of renting. Cost me $100 to rent a paddleboard for an hour for four people. Well worth the purchase. I’m still patting myself on the back for splurging on this board.
