This board was a great buy! I wasn’t sure about the quality I was going to receive, but as soon as I opened the box, I could tell it was a good quality board, seat and paddle. We actually took it out and used it today on a trip to the beach. The backpack with everything in it is heavy for me, but fine for my husband. It looked easy to inflate, but I didn’t do it, lol. Husband said inflating wasn’t bad and made it look pretty easy. We have a 4 year old and she had a blast riding with us!
