Kinilau Inflatable Sup With Window 10.6 - Stand Up Paddle SUP Board Set Inc Paddle, Pump, Backpack & Leash

well I finaly tried this out and boy...did I get wet, alot.it comes with everything you need (as you will see in the product description) and is quite mobile, but you are going to have to heft the bag to the water from the car so be ready for thatinflating the board is easy up to a point, once you have to tighten it up and and hand pump the pressure up to 15psi ( needs to be about this point or it doesnt really react as it should under weight) it tends to get physically hard, its totaly doable however you will feel it in your shoulders and arms.once your in teh water with it it is very stable and as long as you have good balance ( like my wife) then you should be up and paddling in no time...if you are like me...then theres a good chance its going to take more time and a lot more face planting into the water until you are upright, let alone paddlingits great fun and if you watch some of teh simple vids on youtube on how you are supposed to paddle board its easy to pick up and great fun to just throw in the car and go to teh beach and have a great physical work out on it.great fun learning for the beginer, great for the natural ( my wife). We had hours of fun and the board never let us down no matter the rigours we put it through. It was easy to defflate quickly and pack back up to get back to the car with all the seperate parts going back into the bag easily.All I need to do now is hose off the sand and its back to new.highly recomend for fun, a good workout, and how easy it is to store compared to a solid board. Havent had this much fun at the beach in ages

Not happy about the paddle breaking, wont be buying Alessi again as the customer service options for a "partial" problem with your order is just not possible - v poor customer service. Paddle board was fine

For a little context before we get started, this is my third inflatable SUP. The first is a Jimmy Lewis Maestro Air, which continues to be the best inflatable I've ever used, and the second is a Fanatic Fly which is ok at best.So where does the Cressi Kinilau sit? That depends. It is a truly sold paddle board, which is fairly rigid and hold my 13.5 stone weight well enough. It pumps up quickly (the single action pump is pretty good, but will always be single action so if you can upgrade to a double it is recommended), and I haven't noticed any leaks around the nozzel.So far, so good. But then we come to the elephant in the room, the tiger at the tea party, the (and I mean this one literally) hole in the paddleboard. Yes, Cressi have cut a literal hole at the front of the board, which they say is for looking down into the crisp blue sea. Well, I live on the south coast of England, which although beautiful and teeming with life is not what you would call crisp blue. It is also choppy, even on calm days, which means that as soon as a small wave breaks across the front of the board, the hole (or maybe bucket is better word for it) fills up with sea water. The little square box that they designed to fill in the hole (which is inflatable and removable) just floats away, as there is nothing to keep it in place. The inflatable square has another use - that of a cushion which you can velcro onto the back or centre of the board. This is an excellent feature, it's just a shame they had to mutilate the front of the board to make it.The hole at the front also means that the board has a weak spot, which is prone to bending and flexing, meaning this otherwise fairly rigid inflatable is significantly less so.Now I've written this review, I'm wondering why I gave it three stars. Surely it should be 2! But other than the one fatal flaw, this really is a solid board. Hopefully Cressi will realise their mistake and bring out a new version of the Kinilau without it. Then they would have a genuinely solid board for an excellent price. Until then... well, you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

Didn't even know surf/paddle boards could be inflatable so this is a superb idea, it's space saving, a great set to get your new hobby started, love the portability of this, I find it easy to use/easy to follow instructions I only removed one star because of the weight if you don't drive lugging this on foot or public transport is going to be annoying/hard work.
