The pump works great and isn’t difficult to use. All the important accessories are included and functions well. I especially appreciate the carry bag. Board holds air as it should once inflated. Quality material and no leaks or rips. Can be a challenge to get the board back in the bag after use, but I don’t mind. The board is fun to maneuver and has great form and control. Not the most brilliant colors but a nice artsy design. Easy to steer, even in more choppy waves or a bit of wind on the lake.
Il prodotto di buona fattura e secondo me ha un ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo, pi leggero rispetto ad altri modelli senza nulla togliere alla consistenza.
Ho comprato l’articolo poich lo aveva gi acquistato una mia amica. I suoi suggerimenti sono stati fondamentali:
1) mai riporre la pompa senza rimuovere il tubo, nel trasporto potrebbe rompersi.
2) Lo zaino esternamente ha un alloggiamento fatto apposta per la pompa.
3) il lato opposto esterno dello zaino l’alloggiamento per il remo.
4) se possibile non lasciare il sup fuori dall’acqua con il sole perch si gonfia troppo, o sgonfiarlo appena o lasciarlo a bagno
5) attenzione quando si sgonfia, il getto d’aria potente e rumoroso , saperlo prima stato utile.
Sarebbe utile avere delle istruzioni per montaggio e smontaggio + dettagliate.
Brought this for my mums bday and she was thrilled super easy to pack away in the back the colour is beautiful easy to blow up no faults with it so far and we have used it super pleased!
Was really impressed with this for the price that I paid. Was every bit as good as boards at the beach that were a much higher price and just as good quality. Would highly recommend to anyone to start out and have loads of fun.
This H2OSUP iSup is a great board, especially for beginner. At this price point – this is a very reasonable SUP. The board is well made and very durable and sturdy. The size worked great for my son and girlfriend – I prefer a longer / wider board – but overall still ok for me too. The board has a lot of nice features – can easily be packed into the backpack, perfect for saving space. The board has D rings for attaching a kayak seat in the future. Overall a great beginner SUP – very happy with the quality!
Once unboxed it was easy to fit the contents of the box into the storage bag. I have a few paddle boards and after pumping them up by hand we invested in a pump. The pump was easy to attach to the board. I am not an experienced “paddle boarder” but have windsurfed for years. I found this board to be easy to stand on. It easily supported my weight. The paddle is easy to adjust. When inflated this board looks incredible. All of the boards I own fall into this price range and really I am equally happy with all 3 and haven’t found their to be a “noticeable” difference across any of the boards. We hang the boards on the deck railing and they have been there for quite some time. The Florida sun has not affected the boards in any way. Living on the water makes these a must! I highly recommend these board, as as a gift, well this would make an awesome one!

I’m really impressed with this. Came as a complete kit including nice quality backpack. Pump worked well and got up to the nominal 15psi in around five minutes. The paddle is good quality and highly adjustable. The board is well made, light weight and easy to handle. Worked well on the water and took the weight of and me and my two kids no problem. Don’t be put off by the low price, it’s just great value for money! 🙂
Ottimo prodotto, per qualit prezzo prezzo, buone finiture stabile, e facile da usare, adatto anche a bambini! Consigliato!! Facile da trasportare e da riporre nella zaino apposito!!!
I’ve had this paddle board almost a week now and as yet I’ve not had it on the water yet. I will amend this review once I’ve done that.
So first things first. You get a lot of kit for your money. Yes somethings do feel a little plastically but that’s okay.
This is my first paddle board and I inflated it until it took shape. Lifted it up at one end and it seemed solid. But the pressure gauge still read zero.
After some YouTube research I found that in fact the board was far from inflated. You really need to pump a lot of air in to this. Haha at one point I was waiting for a very loud BANG as the pressure gauge slowly went up. Finally after around 10 minutes the board was inflated to 15psi.
As I sit by it now. Its lost none of that air after an hour and I am a happy customer. I just cannot wait to get it out on the water now
My friends and I ordered these inflatable SUP and we absolutely love them! They are pretty sturdy and easy(ish, our arms did get a workout) to inflate!
Todo ha llegado muy rpido, la tabla se hincha rpido y fcil.
Ahora iremos a probarla en el mar con mucha ilusin!

Ich finde es ein super. Es macht Spa damit zu paddeln. Es lsst sich gut tragen. Auch die transporttasche ist gro genug um alles drin zu verstauen. Ich mag es sehr. Bis jetzt sehr zu freiden.
I’m an intermediate paddler and got this board for my friend’s kid, who desperately wanted to try paddling with me. It came with all the stuffs to get started and, thus, was perfect for the pre-teen using it. I liked that it gave her 3 fins (vs. just 1 on some of the other beginner SUPs I looked at) – making steering easier. The inflation valve was a little picky in comparison to my other board – you have to open it JUST RIGHT to inflate. I wound up making a mark with a sharpie on both the pin and the board to assist with this in the future – it’s not perfect, but took out some of the guess work and frustration. I don’t totally love the paddle that came with it, but it does work. It just felt chinsey in comparison to the other paddles I own.
We love our new H2OSUP Inflatable Paddle Board – 10/10.6 ft 6″ Thick Ultra-Light Stand Up Paddleboard,SUP Board for All Skill Levels with Premium Backpack,SUP Accessories & Non-Slip Deck for Youth & Adults’
1. It’s sturdy and it feels like hard shell!
2. It has a beautiful design – my older daughter still loves pink!
3. Comes with a bag, pump, a fin and extras – everything you need for your first SUP experience!
6. The SUP floats and slides nicely.
7. Easy to transport and not too heavy!
What I didn’t enjoy and that’s why I cannot give 5 stars:
1. The valve didn’t work well. Especially comparing to the second SUP we had with us. The board was loosing the air immediately and we needed two people working on it to make sure that the SUP is hard enough. The only good thing about it, was the disassembly, at least the air was going out very quickly.
2. The oar doesn’t float! This is really annoying, because I was constantly afraid, my daughter might lose it.
I already ordered another one.
3. The manual isn’t exact. I wish there was more explanation and pictures since we are completely newbies to SUP. There is not too much to set but enough to get insecure. The valve and the pump worked fine. I just had my moment with the fins. You have to secure those with the little pins, which must go in a certain way, otherwise you might not get them out when you disassemble the fins again. I attached the image what I decided and what worked.
4. You cannot demount the small fins!
5. The SUP Leash is blue, doesn’t go with the rest of our pink SUP!
Overall it is a great board with a huge entertainment factor! The board is lightly thinner than the other SUP we got, but that didn’t make any big difference.
This is great paddle board, I was using it with kids for the very first time ever, and I’m surprised how easy this thing is. Inflation process is easy, pump it good and I was to prepare board in 10 minutes.
It’s wide enough so you can stand and balance easy. When in action board goes fast, keep the direction. The paddle it adjustable in length, very light and it floating.
Overall I’m very happy with this board and ordered one more to have even more fun.
Took this out and had my 14 year old try it. It held up great and it is very stable. This was easy to pump up just like any other paddle board and can hold up to 300 pounds I would say. She is 5’6 120 and handled this board perfectly.
I took this paddle board all the way to Jersey with me and it did well at LBI. It is 10 ft long, pink and comes with everything you will need for set up including pump, adhesives patches, straps, etc. love this compact board that fits all into a backpack!
Not to say this isn’t a good board for anyone – it is – but the size (10.6) is easier for the beginner to handle over the longer SUPs. This one is very colorful, too. Not that color plays a big role, but it’s like buying a car – if you have a choice of colors, you will most likely pick something other than black or white, right? So the color makes it easy for you to pick out your paddleboard if you are out with friends at the local lake on a warm, sunny day. Me, I cannot stand up on this paddleboard as I have inner ear issues that cause me to have balance problems when things are…movable. I can, however, sit and use the paddle to get around and with my legs dangling in the water, I have a fun day paddling around near the lake’s shore, spending time outside in the sunshine on a pretty lake. What could be better than that? This SUP comes with everything you need, though I did get myself a small USB-powered air pump so I can pump this SUP up faster and my pump is about the size of a cell phone so the hand pump can be left behind, leaving a bit more space for the rest of the SUP’s stuff. So, for the price, this is a decent paddleboard that I have been enjoying using at the nearby lake (I live about a quarter mile from a fairly large lake). Try an SUP – you’ll have fun, I promise!
I am completely new to paddle boarding. While I do have experience in wakeboarding, knee boarding, canoeing and kayaking, I have never tried paddle boarding before until I got the H20SUP inflatable paddle board.
For anyone who doesn’t want to read the full review, I’m going to summarize my thoughts in the next paragraph below:
There is nothing wrong with this paddle board, however I noticed after trying it myself and having my kids try it, that it does not handle a lot of weight well because the front end dips into the water easily. It’s also not as wide as a lot of other paddles boards making it better for those with a low center of gravity. This makes it perfect for my kids, but when I stand on it being a full size adult, it’s hard to balance side to side without falling. It does work wonderfully though for full size adults to sit down on and paddle. Next are a couple key points about the paddleboard:
* The paddle floats
* The board has a handle and can be carried somewhat easy. It’s not super light at the listed 17.6 lbs but it can be carried with one person.
* It comes with a repair kit.
* It comes with a manual pump that has a pressure gauge.
* A kayak seat can be added
* The main fin is removable
So thats the summary but I’ll continue with further details and experience below.
The backpack/bag setup on this is between decent and great overall. The zipper and bag thickness is excellent. The amount of space in the bag for the manual pump, paddle board, etc is more than adequate. The straps on the backpack shoulder straps looks a little weak though for the amount of weight that this bag holds so I recommend be gentle when carrying it on your back.
Once I got the paddle board aired up I put it into the river on a completely calm day with almost no current or waves. I was able to pull myself up on the board easily and get on my knees on the board but every time I tried to stand up I would fall off the side of the board. After several hours of falling off the board in every way possible and making enormous splashes in the water, I began to wonder if maybe it was just me that was having trouble learning to paddle board. I can’t even count the amount of times and ways that I fell off this board. I will admit though that even though I kept falling, it was still quite fun. Someone at the same river had a couple of other paddle boards that were just a little bit wider and they suggested I try theirs so I could figure out if another board worked for me. Well I tried the wider paddleboards and was immediately able to stand up and then also paddle around without falling off. Being a first time paddle boarder, I needed to be able to try another board so I knew of the issue was the board or me. In this case since the other person’s board worked well for me but everytime I got on the H20SUP board I fell, I knew the H20SUP wasn’t the right fit for me. Once again, it’s not a a bad board, it’s just not a right fit for someone like myself that is 205 lbs and has a high center of gravity. Furthermore, I pulled the H20SUP back to shore and began investigating it further. As I said above in my summary, I noticed that the front of the board dips into the water when a lot of heavy weight is applied to it.
I decided to let my daughters try in next who are approximately 99 lbs and this board worked flawlessly for them! They had no issues getting up on it, balancing or paddling. It is indeed the perfect fit for my children and they have hours worth of fun at time with it on the river.
Got this for my 12 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it! She can carry it to and from the water herself which is super helpful for me. She’s obsessed with pink so the color made her day. It was very stable and easy to maneuver. We did use an electric pump to inflate it so I can’t really speak on the performance of the pump that came with it. She loves the pink paddle too! We were 100% satisfied with the SUP.

This paddleboard is fantastic and even better for the price. I have been wanting one for a long time and one of the rules I had is that the pictures actually had to be people using the board, versus just being photoshopped into stock photos. This one met this criteria so I gave it a shot. It comes with a nice backpack that is really easy to get the iSUP in and out of and is actually pretty comfortable when wearing it. I did not have any issues with air leaks and was able to take it out on the water right away. The paddle that came with mine is blue and seems to be pretty nice – it is easily adjustable and I believe it is made of metal.
If you are looking for a simple, good quality iSUP I definitely recommend buying this brand.
This thing is great quality I agree with all positive comments from previous reviews.
HOWEVA
The paddle sank after less than an hour of use. It was a bday present for my daughter so she’s pretty bummed.
It makes sense that people learning to use this board are going to fall off and into the water. What DOESN’T make sense is to include an aluminum oar that doesn’t float!!! I realize you need a resilient material, but there are plenty of less expensive composite materials that will float.
I was about to order another couple of these for our family and friends to use on the lake, but now I have an oar to replace. I guess I need to think about it some more.
H20 sup inflatable paddle board is super easy to inflate and deflate which is very convenient! I immediately took it to try out because I was so excited to paddle board on this beautiful day. This board is very lightweight and easy to maneuver. The bag makes it easy to fold up and carry and you can inflate right at your destination if you choose.
My only gripe I have about this board would be about positioning. They put the huh hooks right where your feet are supposed to goso basically if you were centered on the board your feet will always be on the hooks which isn’t very uncomfortable. This isn’t going to be an issue for a shorter person, but will for someone average or tall size (for reference, I am under 5ft). I guess another thing to consider is if you are really heavy (200+ lbs) this board may not feel as stable since it’s so lightweight.
Besides the one complaint this was so easy to inflate and deflate and I was on and off the water in no time. Price is right and this is one of the more budget friendly boards. Had a ton of fun using it and boarding with my friends!
All I have to say is wow! The quality of this is so nice even down to the bag! This comes with everything that you need to get on the water. I can not wait to get this in the water. I definitely recommend this! Shipping was very fast.

I was a little worried about getting an inflatable paddle board…how similar was it going to be to a “real” paddle board? Well, turns out…you can barely tell the difference!
There’s a lot to like about this particular one, too, such as:
1. Very cool design with nice bright colors
2. Made of tough material so it should last/hold up well for a while
3. Very easy to inflate and get going
4. Stable performance – it inflates firm and feels steady
5. The kayak seat is SUPER cool and one of the best bonuses this offers
6. Comes with an awesome storage bag that has backpack straps, making it super easy to take it with you anywhere (and everything fits in it, including the oar)
7. Comes with everything else you need too like a pump, fin, leash etc.
Overall this is a great paddle board at a great price, too. Two thumbs up!
The pump works great and isn’t difficult to use. All the important accessories are included and functions well. I especially appreciate the carry bag. Board holds air as it should once inflated. Quality material and no leaks or rips. Can be a challenge to get the board back in the bag after use, but I don’t mind. The board is fun to maneuver and has great form and control. Not the most brilliant colors but a nice artsy design. Easy to steer, even in more choppy waves or a bit of wind on the lake.
wir mussten leider nach 2 Monaten Nutzung zurcksenden. An der Kante, an der das SuP zusammengefaltet wird, geht die Gummierung leider ab. Schade.

I was able to pull myself up on the board easily and get on my knees on the board but every time I tried to stand up I would fall off the side of the board. After several hours of falling off the board in every way possible and making enormous splashes in the water, I began to wonder if maybe it was just me that was having trouble learning to paddle board. I can’t even count the amount of times and ways that I fell off this board. I will admit though that even though I kept falling, it was still quite fun. Someone at the same river had a couple of other paddle boards that were just a little bit wider and they suggested I try theirs so I could figure out if another board worked for me. Well I tried the wider paddleboards and was immediately able to stand up and then also paddle around without falling off. Being a first time paddle boarder, I needed to be able to try another board so I knew of the issue was the board or me. In this case since the other person’s board worked well for me but everytime I got on the H20SUP board I fell, I knew the H20SUP wasn’t the right fit for me. Once again, it’s not a a bad board, it’s just not a right fit for someone like myself that is 205 lbs and has a high center of gravity. Furthermore, I pulled the H20SUP back to shore and began investigating it further. As I said above in my summary, I noticed that the front of the board dips into the water when a lot of heavy weight is applied to it.
I decided to let my daughters try in next who are approximately 99 lbs and this board worked flawlessly for them! They had no issues getting up on it, balancing or paddling. It is indeed the perfect fit for my children and they have hours worth of fun at time with it on the river.
Got this for my 12 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it! She can carry it to and from the water herself which is super helpful for me. She’s obsessed with pink so the color made her day. It was very stable and easy to maneuver. We did use an electric pump to inflate it so I can’t really speak on the performance of the pump that came with it. She loves the pink paddle too! We were 100% satisfied with the SUP.
This paddleboard is fantastic and even better for the price. I have been wanting one for a long time and one of the rules I had is that the pictures actually had to be people using the board, versus just being photoshopped into stock photos. This one met this criteria so I gave it a shot. It comes with a nice backpack that is really easy to get the iSUP in and out of and is actually pretty comfortable when wearing it. I did not have any issues with air leaks and was able to take it out on the water right away. The paddle that came with mine is blue and seems to be pretty nice – it is easily adjustable and I believe it is made of metal.
If you are looking for a simple, good quality iSUP I definitely recommend buying this brand.
HOWEVA
The paddle sank after less than an hour of use. It was a bday present for my daughter so she’s pretty bummed.
It makes sense that people learning to use this board are going to fall off and into the water. What DOESN’T make sense is to include an aluminum oar that doesn’t float!!! I realize you need a resilient material, but there are plenty of less expensive composite materials that will float.
I was about to order another couple of these for our family and friends to use on the lake, but now I have an oar to replace. I guess I need to think about it some more.
Da
Quick to inflate if you have an automatic pump but it comes with a pump but it’s gonna take long long time to fill that way
H20 sup inflatable paddle board is super easy to inflate and deflate which is very convenient! I immediately took it to try out because I was so excited to paddle board on this beautiful day. This board is very lightweight and easy to maneuver. The bag makes it easy to fold up and carry and you can inflate right at your destination if you choose.
My only gripe I have about this board would be about positioning. They put the huh hooks right where your feet are supposed to goso basically if you were centered on the board your feet will always be on the hooks which isn’t very uncomfortable. This isn’t going to be an issue for a shorter person, but will for someone average or tall size (for reference, I am under 5ft). I guess another thing to consider is if you are really heavy (200+ lbs) this board may not feel as stable since it’s so lightweight.
Besides the one complaint this was so easy to inflate and deflate and I was on and off the water in no time. Price is right and this is one of the more budget friendly boards. Had a ton of fun using it and boarding with my friends!
All I have to say is wow! The quality of this is so nice even down to the bag! This comes with everything that you need to get on the water. I can not wait to get this in the water. I definitely recommend this! Shipping was very fast.
I was a little worried about getting an inflatable paddle board…how similar was it going to be to a “real” paddle board? Well, turns out…you can barely tell the difference!
There’s a lot to like about this particular one, too, such as:
1. Very cool design with nice bright colors
2. Made of tough material so it should last/hold up well for a while
3. Very easy to inflate and get going
4. Stable performance – it inflates firm and feels steady
5. The kayak seat is SUPER cool and one of the best bonuses this offers
6. Comes with an awesome storage bag that has backpack straps, making it super easy to take it with you anywhere (and everything fits in it, including the oar)
7. Comes with everything else you need too like a pump, fin, leash etc.
Overall this is a great paddle board at a great price, too. Two thumbs up!
