Review on ๐Ÿ„ BIC Sport Sup AIR Inflatable Stand up Paddleboard: Exploring the Waters with Confidence by Michael Glassburn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These things are built like tanks, row well (no center fin installed)

I have not purchased any of these from Revain but my work has put together a mixed fleet of about 10 for the flow programs we run. Most of these are used in lakes and wildlife parks in the Denver area, but we have a shorter blue that takes a twist on the Colorado River. We paddled Class II/III several times a week, put all sorts of people on it to try, tried surfing, tried sinking it with people, did yoga etc, the list goes on. These things are built like tanks, row well (no center fin fitted) and so far have impressed me as a welcome addition to our fleet of boats. Note that the longer reds aren't as fun as the shorter, broader blues. Reds perform well in seawater, but are still noticeably more unstable than blues. This makes them much more beginner-friendly. I don't know about long-term use, but for a rough summer - aside from a few scrapes on the ball of the foot from rough handling and/or surfing attempts - the Bic still looks brand new.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Older model
