SereneLife Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board - Wide Stable Design, Non-Slip Deck for Adults & Youth with Premium Paddle Board Accessories: Carry Bag, Dual Action Pump, Paddle, Ankle Leash - 10'6"

This is my family's second paddle board from serene life- we liked this brand best so we bought from them again. In general: *It is pretty simple to inflate an iSUP, but it is a bit of a workout to do the whole thing by hand. (You'll feel it most after you hit 10 psi). *Paddle boards are remarkably stable and, after you are used to the movements and more confident, you don't need to worry about falling off. I did a 5 mile challenge (9 lakes and rivers- took pretty much a whole day) with my 5 year old on board and neither of us ever fell off. She fell asleep twice! And it was only our third time out with them. *Wind is an issue. If the wind is above 10 mph or so it starts to get difficult to move against the wind while standing. You have to kneel or sit. This isn't a real problem, just something to be aware of. It's not a kayak, it blows across the water really easily. Heaven help you if there are waves, wind, and current you are fighting at the same time. Always check the weather for wind before you go out. *Unlike some kayaks, if a paddle board flips, there is no bailing! I've never flipped either really, but it's nice to know getting back on is easy and I don't have to worry about carrying a bilge pump or anything. *If you are struggling to get the paddle to stay at the correct size, you'll need to tighten the screw that controls release lever. you can do this by turning the lever (and thus the threaded bit) when it is open. Serene life/ specifically: *Having 11 D-rings to attach a seat, water bottles, dry bags, or straps is super nice. This is the main reason we went with this brand and I'm still glad we did. If the board is drifting while you are trying to get on/off, it also gives you something to grasp for. (While I wouldn't lift the board by these D-rings, you can use them lift the side a bit to break the suction when you are lifting the board straight up out of the water.) *Overall the quality of the pump and paddle were better than our other paddle board - an aqua plus. (the Aqua plus is fine overall, but has no secondary skegs for tracking in shallow water, the metal paddle gets scratched up easily, and the pump squeaks out of the blocked hole when you use the double action setting. It's not a subtle squeak either- it's like a panicked husky screaming. Everyone at the launch site will look at you in all your hand-pumping glory... I digress) *Having two small skegs helps provide some tracking if you need to remove the big skeg for really shallow rivers, or really weedy lakes. And without that big skeg, you can go in some really shallow water! (The first picture is with the skeg off- this spot made a lot of kayaks/canoes turn around, but we made it (sans primary skeg) easy peasy) The carrying/storage strap is handy for packing everything up into the bag.

I enjoyed this beautiful product. It is made well and reasonably priced.

So far the value for the price has surpassed my expectations! I bought it for $347 and it's my first iSUP, so I figured I didn't want to spend much off the bat in case I didn't like it, and this one got good reviews. So far so good, and the kit is great! It's nice having everything all at once. As mentioned by other reviewers, the bag feels a bit cheap (mostly the zipper), but so far it's done its job. The iSUP itself is really pretty (and somewhat as important, it also floats and has held air for 3 days). The material and D rings feel pretty sturdy and the foot grip is definitely grippy. It's a bit less steady overall than I hoped for, but I'm also 5'8", so maybe if you're shorter it wouldn't be as bad. It could also just be me. However, it's definitely not stopping me from using it and I haven't fallen off...yet. The paddle seems good and is a better quality than I expected after some reviews. It feels strong enough and I don't envision it breaking anytime soon. It's also adjustable, so it's good for any height. The ankle leash is actually pretty heavy, but once on you don't really notice it. The repair kit is just an orange tube with a few patches. I suppose we purchase our own adhesive, if needed. The one thing I wish it came with is better instructions for blowing it up and deflating it. I consider myself to be fairly fit, so it surprised me that it took around 20 minutes to inflate it when most said it could be done in 10. A quick internet search was a huge help, but only after I worked twice as hard at pumping it up. I've included some tips below to help others along. As for the pump quality, it seems pretty average. Felt sturdy enough, gets the job done, and I honestly wasn't expecting much more than what it is. ***Tips for Pumping Up and Deflating*** -The pump has two settings controlled by a tear-shaped swivel thingy near the top of the pump body. When pumping up your iSUP, swivel the tear-shaped setting to the right. This is the double action pump setting; meaning it will pump air into the iSUP on both the up and down actions, lessening the inflation time. -The PSI gauge doesn't really move much until you get around to 12 PSI or so. As you get closer to the 15 PSI max fill, it will get harder to pump, so swivel the tear-shaped setting to the left. This is now a single action pump, which will make it a little easier to fill the iSUP the rest of the way since it takes more oomph at this point (you'll know it's single action because air will blow out the open side of the pump). -When you remove the air pump it will be LOUD! I woke up my husband and my dog; they both gave me the 'what for' look. Yikes and oops. -When it comes time to deflate the iSUP, simply remove the valve cover, then press and gently turn the red 'button'. This will lock down, allowing the air to come out. Please note: this will also be really LOUD! I deflated mine outside around 11pm, in the still of the night. I have no idea what the neighbors thought. I'm sure there were plenty more 'what for' looks. Yikes and oops again. Hopefully this information helps. I lamented, searched, and compared for quite awhile before buying this one. I wish I had purchased it sooner! I've only used it once in the week we've had it, but I'm definitely happy with it. If anything changes I'll be sure to post an update. Happy paddling!

The board is good. It is. I had used my girlfriend's Thunder Wave before and was pretty sure about the quality of the Serene Life board, but wanted a longer board. So I dove in and bought the Free Flow as it is longer by six inches. (joke, baked right in) Super fun. Not as steady as some (also just bought a Roc Scout which I have not taken for a drive yet, but is purported to be less wobbly), but a great, entry-level board. Comes with an ankle strap, pump (broken), repair kit, paddle. I replaced the paddle as the one that came with it was kind of wobbly. Two bigger problems: 1. Unfortunately, the pump arrived broken. 2. There is an insert card that arrives with the board that states that one is to register the board within seven days of receiving to extend the warranty and receive a free gift. Here is where the board loses not one, but two stars. I tried to register the board, but the page kept stopping at point #3. I called Serene Life customer service in order to get assistance with both issues. I have spent no less than three hours on the phone and in emails with Serene Life customer service to absolutely no avail. There is definitely a language barrier there, but even more, a procedure barrier. After each time a person took my call (which was harrowing, as the menu options are terrible), as the menu options are terrible), they would then tell me that someone would follow up by email. A few days later, an email arrived asking me for all of the same information that I had provided to the CS agent. Four days have now passed, I have not heard back. I tried to get them on facebook. Got a bot. No person has contacted me. It is now two days post that message. Totally frustrated, I contacted Amazon customer service who were slightly more helpful after I go them past the "Send the whole board back, and we will send you a whole, new 20-pound package." A ridiculous waste of resources. Customer service is an imperative part of consumer satisfaction as it pertains to any customer experience and Serene Life falls woefully short here. It is a fine, entry-level board that loses marks for the terrible customer service. EDIT 07/20/2021: Customer service really turned it around and I feel compelled to change this to a four-star review. Since my last post, customer service has indeed made good on their promise to extend the warranty as well as send me a free kayak seat (as per their insert promise re: registering the board). Additionally, the fin broke and they promptly sent me a new one. All of these things are very much appreciated. The reason it only gets a 4-star review at this point: 1. The fin screw feels unnecessary and begs breaking (which it did). While I understand the thought, the execution is not great and I anticipate the need for another one someday. 2. My girlfriend got me another board as a birthday gift (ROC Scout) and I really like it better. The stability is much better (at three inches wider) and the form factor makes it feel like I can get a little more speed and play from it. Good board and customer service stepped up.

My board came in today. I went ahead and took everything out of the packaging to inspect. everything looked great. I decided to go ahead and inflate my board just to get a time frame on how long it would take to inflate it. It took about 10 minutes, which is not bad at all. It looked amazing!!! The ankle attachment is really good quality and the paddle as well. Deflating took no time at all, maybe 5 minutes total time to deflate and roll-up. It also came with a clip to help hold the paddleboard in place once it is rolled up. The bag is really good quality also. And I love that it was not hard at all to get the board back into the bag which is a plus because most of the time it is a lot harder to get back into a bag than before. The bag also comes with a handle to tote like a duffle back or you can wear it as a backpack. I'd say it weighs around 30 lbs. This is my first SUP and so far I love it! I haven't taken it out on the water to see how it handles but I will be in the bay Saturday to give it a try. So far I would say this is a great product just by the quality and ease of the board and accessories!!

Perfect size for a solo paddler, and it comes with everything you need to get started at a reasonable price—leaving some budget room for future accessory upgrades. One minor gripe is the screw-in rear fin; I worry about losing the screw or fin in the water. Thankfully, both store neatly in the outer zip pocket of the carrying bag when not in use. The dual/single action air pump works great—if you’ve got the stamina. Otherwise, investing in an electric pump might be a smart move. There are just the right number of D-rings for seat attachments and other add-ons. The alloy paddle is decent for a starter, but I already know that’ll be my next upgrade. Overall, it’s a durable and stable summer ride with no issues holding air, making it a reliable and fun option for the season.

*New Update 8/18/21 I bought the Multicolored SUP for my husband to get him into paddle boarding with me after I had already purchased one for myself. Can't say enough good things about this product!! We have been boarding 4 times since we purchased them. They are easy to blow up, handle extremely well on the water regardless of rapids or calm waters and it was the perfect board to get our puppy used these adventures. Even with him on it, my husband and I can stand up without losing our balance. Would Highly recommend this product and the seller. Previous review: I rented a SUP once and completely fell in love with it so this is my first SUP. That being said, after a lot of research and understanding what I needed/wanted out of my own this board has not disappointed! I used an electric pump (highly recommend if you can buy one) and got the board to 15 psi without any problems. It handled great on the water today and I had no problems finding my stability riding down the river. It turns well and quickly, and stays extremely straight when I need to. My only complaint is in regards to the paddle itself. The adjuster that allows you to extend and shorten the length of the paddle broke on the river the first time I adjusted it leaving me unable to keep the rod extended without it collapsing on it's own. That being said I'll contact support as I'm pretty sure it was a fluke and the board itself is fantastic. I even purchased a second one for my husband and can't wait for it to get here!

I love this board. I knew I wouldn’t be getting a top-of-the-line SUP for what was a pretty fair price on a beginner’s board, so I wasn’t expecting anything special, but this board blew my expectations out of the water. It’s sturdy in and of itself, the board being six inches deep when pumped to its full capacity. I can tell there is decent technology on the inner layers as well when I stand on it. It doesn’t sag or bend under my weight, on water or on flat land. It’s wide enough for me to get a good standing stance on it, and the paddle is strong and sturdy. The board does wobble considerably more and it’s harder to gain balance on it in the water than the first board I paddled with, but considering that this one’s an inflatable board as opposed to an epoxy, that is to be expected. The accessories are in great condition - good quality materials that I’m sure will last a good while. I am very happy with this board, and I am excited to use it more. My only real complaint would be that the carrying case doesn’t fit the board and its accessories together without risk of bending the fins or the paddle. I have to carry certain parts outside of the case. Not ideal. But other than that, a good board for a good price. Very suited to beginners.

Muy recomendable la tabla. No pesa apenas para transportarla, se pliega muy bien y cabe en la mochila que trae. Todo un acierto la compra.

Perfetto grande resistente difficile trovare un difetto a questo prodotto

Not used yet but we have blown it up and it looks great. Only disappointment is that we didn't receive the protective lanyard in the package and we received a black paddle and bag and not the one advertised. This doesn't affect its use but we just liked the look of the other paddle and bag more and for the price you pay, it would be nice to receive what is advertised. This isn't really good enough but as we bought the paddleboard for our holiday next week, we don't have time to return the item. Bit miffed!

Super paddle, très satisfait!

Just received my paddle board today. It came really fast, I ordered it last night and it came this evening. Blew it up in my living room, since it's still too cold to take it outside. Took me about 15mins to inflate it to 13psi, but I'm a small person with an injured arm. Too bad there's no instructions on the pump, but I managed, and found that it was easiest to use dual pump early on, and then single action near the end. I'll leave it overnight to see if it loses any air. Overall it looks great and I can't wait to take it out onto the water. I'll update my review after I'm able to take it out onto the water. Update: Now that I've been able to use my SUP, it's great. Very sturdy when out on the water, easily paddles, and easy to inflate and deflate at the beach. The paddle floats, so I don't need to worry about it sinking. The carry bag holds everything and more, and it's fairly comfortable to walk with it on your back. Very pleased with my purchase. Update: Over 1 year later and this SUP is still as good as the first time I tried it. I take great care of it by making sure it is completely dry before rolling it up and putting it in the bag. I've had zero problems with it. I've had many people at the beach come up to me and ask me if I find that the pump works, I tell them yes, you just need to keep pumping it up and then PSI will go up...they have all under inflated their SUP's because they think when it's hard by their feel it's good. After showing them to keep pumping then they understand that their pump is working.
