Review on NACATIN 10'6" Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board With Premium Accessories And Backpack by Nick Kussmaul

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall this seems like it’s gonna be a great board

So far this NACATIN Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board is pretty darn good and we think it’ll turn out to be a great SUP for us. My wife and I have wanted our own SUPs for awhile, but we have no where to store a regular SUP and had considered blow up versions. When I had a chance to get this NACATIN Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board I took it. Unfortunately for us, it’s taken a longer than desired time to get a chance to try them - and due to weather (storms, hurricanes) and my recovery from surgery, we’ve been unable to get onto the water. So at this point we are only able to review based on the specific SUP and it’s kit - I will update when if need be when we get it on the water. In the mean time, this is a nice set up and we think it’s gonna be a great SUP. The kit is excellent, with items such as a dry bag for your pone included. There is a patch kit. Also a carrying bag. The carrying bag is a little. weird. The bag sets high - the actual straps are set low on the bag so the top of the bag is higher - at the head or perhaps above depending on your size. But it works on. My wife wore it for the pictures and said it was comfortable, but that it set "weird,” and she felt she could wear it from the car to wherever we were to launch, comfortably. But, I did have to help her get it on and off due to the placement of the straps.Pumping the SUP: It took us a bit to figure this process out, but once we had it, it went fine. The instruction book is pretty tiny writing, so we took a picture and adjusted it. We can also keep the instructions with on our phones for when we’re out. The tube was easy to insert - took a few times popping out to get it to stay on - there is a way to adjust the pump as it gets harder to pump and we did use it. My wife pumped for awhile, then I did. It IS a bit tough to do. NOT the actual pumping, but the amount of time and it does get harder - adjust the dial - but we only got as high as the 8 PSI not to the 15 they recommend. As we get back into shape following being off workouts for awhile, we’ll get better at it, but between us - for this test run - we were only able to hit that 8 and we had to give up. It FELT fine at this level, but WOW.! We WILL TRY to get to that 15, but . WOW! My wife stood on it and it felt great, but she said she sees how the 15 would be "better,” yet. will we ever be able to get that high. There are two blades on the bottom - and you add the fin - they are in a holder to protect them when it’s down.Deflating was really easy. And it took only minutes. This SUP has you use the pump to help clear out the final air and that worked great. The prong you push in the air hole is really easy to use and my wife was thrilled with it.Overall we are impressed with this NACATIN Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board and look forward to FINALLY being able to use it on the water - when it’s safe. It comes with a break-apart paddle. We have not used it nor put it together, but we did get ourselves another paddle - we think it’s lighter. We’ll keep them both and take both with. It’s a practice we were taught - to have a backup. But right now I can’t speak to how good theirs is. But we are impressed. at this point, we can’t wait to get out there on this NACATIN Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board!
