Review on Enhance Your Swimming Training with the arena Pull Kick - Innovative 2-in-1 Pull Buoy and Kickboard by George Sullivan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Almost good. for sports

Due to COVID I had to buy some exercise equipment as the pools stopped producing boards and buoys. It can be used as a board and as a buoy. And it works. Passable. It's not a great board. It's not a big buoy. But he does both, and that's worth it. Like a board, it needs more buoyancy. It's a bit flimsy, so if you hit a swipe in your puff, it's not stiff enough to hold water. I suggest that Arena add some tapered bulk in the center (more on that later). It's a short board and that's the way it should be. So not outstanding, but passable. Buying a buoy is so close to ideal. I'm 6ft 1in tall, I have long legs, and even with my long legs, the length of the buoy rests way too far on my nether regions! For those below, this will be a real problem. Another problem is that the thickness of the buoy is too narrow where the legs compress the buoy. And I'm a 200 lb man, 6ft 1in tall and not even my legs can hold the buoy and it's moving down with every lap. But there is a simple solution. All you have to do in the arena is take it off and add an inch of length and add that bulk in the middle of the board where the feet press against the buoy. BUT add this mass little by little. Remember that legs are tapered and there should be less volume at the top of the leg and more volume when the buoy reaches the knee. Arena, all I ask for advice is a new buoy board once you customize your design. I would buy it again but I understand it needs a few simple tweaks to make it perfect.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some little things
