Lifetime Freestyle Multi-Sport Paddleboard

For the price this is an excellent beginner board. It's shape (short and fat) makes it more stable than other boards I have paddled.The specs say it supports paddlers up to 275 lbs. I think anyone over 250 would have difficulty.

Product as advertised. I like the size. Very stable. My grandkids love it. Age 5 - 18 all have fun riding/ paddling it by themselves.

I would give this thing no stars if possible. Owned this paddle board for 14 months and it split down the seam and is now garbage. Used this board for paddling on the ocean and stored in the garage when no in use. It was very heavy and hard to lug around, but now that is split in half it is garbage. Buy a better quality board, you get what you pay for.

We have had a lot of fun with this paddleboard. My kids can manage it - but it also holds adults. Fun color (orange).Only downside is the fins seem to fall off easily - and have been lost in the lake. The board does not work without the fins..Going to call to see if I can get a replacement part.

This is a great board that paddles well in almost any water. It's seriously bullet-proof since it's built with plastic and not fiberglass. You can drop it, drag it up the beach and let your kids jump on it without damaging it. I use it in lakes and rivers and it's a good stable board that is easy to balance on and perfect for beginners. I even put 5 kids on it plus myself (at 200 lbs.) and it still floated and paddled around the lake! The only thing I would not recommend on it is surfing, it's just a little heavy and bulky with the plastic construction to catch waves well. Tried to paddle surf with this board a few months back without much success, the weight/drag just made it difficult to generate enough speed to catch any waves. The twin screw in fins are also not good for surfing but do fine for straight paddling. I will be spending a little more money on a second lighter fiberglass board for surfing, but never selling this board, I just get so much use out of it. Don't spend more money on a "nicer" fiberglass board if you don't plan on surfing with it. Those boards are much more fragile and will not last as long as this board.

Fun fun fun in the sun plus a little exercise to boot

It floats. That's about it. Max weight should be about 90 lbs. please please do not waste your money paddled 6 boards so far, this is by far the worst.

The price was right (I did follow the advice of one of the previous reviewers and bought the board from a big chain store, saving $200). The board is a heavy-duty one so yes, it might last your life time :). It's very stable and spacious. You can carry some cargo or a passenger on it. This is all good.Now, not so good.You might think that 40 lbs not such a big weight. But there is no way to hold this board. The only way, if you want to do it alone, would be to carry it under your arm, but you need to have a REALLY long arm! Mine is not long enough :) I either need to ask for help, and to carry it holding from two ends, or use a dolly.Now, I don't know what's wrong with its design or fins, we tried all possible fins positions, but the board still goes in circles. Or, if you change the side of a puddle often enough, it would be zigzags with sharp corners. It's almost the same if to use this board without fins at all! It give me an enormous work out, if I try to go any significant distance. No way you could use it for races.Well, here comes the worst: mine gets filled with the water. I am not sure if all of them have this problem. Last summer I tried to paddle in the race around Belle Isle, on Detroit River. I came in the last after 4+ hours of paddling, while an average time was under 3 hours. Fine, I still loved it, but the last several hundred of yards the board became totally unmanageable. I had to wade it to the finish. Then I just could not pull it from the water! Two men had to help me. It turned out that the board in half-filled with the water. How it got there, I have no clue!So... I'd say it's rather a raft than an SUP. But then, rafts are not supposed to get the water in...
