Waterwalker 132 11' All-around Paddle Board

Excelent board, really high quality and fun to ride, but it has some minor inconveniences

After taking this baby for a couple of rides, those are the pros and cons. May this review help anyone thinking about buying this board. Pros: - The design is very nice. Especially the crimson color. - Great value for the pack with the paddle, pump, backpack and cooler. - Easy to install fins. - Good speed once you gained momentum. - I managed to safely ride it with my girlfriend even though we were way past the weight limit without the board sinking. - Quality materials. - Begginer friendly. My gf and my sister managed to learn how to stand after a couple of minutes and they never used a SUP before. - Worth every single penny overall. Cons: - On the heavier side. - A bit awkward to pack. - The backpack is not that confortable or practical. - A bit unstable if you are tall and heavy like me (but easy to get used to it). - The electric pump included into the pack takes forever to get the board to 18psi and makes a lot of noise. I would have preffered a manual pump. - Every handle or string on this takes forever to dry even when out in the sun. Conclusion: I love this board and I would reccomend it to anyone that wants to jump into this sport and have a sturdy high quality board. Just keep in mind transporting, setting up and drying might give you a little bit of friction.

Board itself seems solid. Would have liked to see more/better instructions on exactly how to set everything up (such as the fins, more details on how to roll up, etc.). The paddle I initially had some issues with rotating even after being locked, until I found some instructions elsewhere on how to tighten. Somewhat disappointed in the paddleboard bag - it's too big, the zipper weirdly goes from one corner to it's opposite diagonal. The pockets it has are generally in inconvenient places. The iRocker bag I had previously was noteably better.

Really good product. Initially I was unsure as a less well known brand, but so farIam really happy with my new SUP. Feels really stable, and has very useful attachments as well. My main fin is already a little bent, but this may have been heat related.
