We've had an inflatable paddle board for a few years now and it's been fantastic! As you say: easy to transport, easy to store, and impressively rigid when fully inflated. Drop stitch manufacturing is really incredible.

That’s great to hear. I am really excited to try it, and I love the idea of being able to easily take it to different lakes and see lots of places on it.

Totally! I've also discovered that I find standing while paddling much more comfortable than sitting upright in a kayak for long periods of time (probably just a personal pref). We have a manual pump for inflating it, and the one caveat I'll say is that it is a WORKOUT inflating it every time.

(But you can get a small battery-powered pump, if you get tired of dealing with the manual pump.)

I immediately ordered a small electric pump— I know exactly how lazy and impatient I am 😅
