This is my first ever review, right out of the gate I'm saying buy it don't hesitate. I've had it now for 3 months, inflated and deflated it, I'm guessing 30 or more times. It holds the pressure, no leaking. You may think I'm crazy, but I'm not I've paddled this board around 35 miles. I fell in love with paddling, I'm retired. It arrived on time, no destruction of the box. Everything that was supposed to be in the box, was in the box. Packaged nice, brand new, and it looked brand new. The hand pump works as advertised, only pumps on the down stroke. Board says 12 to 15 psi, now I'm an old man, by the time I got to 10 psi I was wore out. I couldn't just jump right on and go. 3 times was enough for me. I bought a 12 volt electric pump, that set all the stars in alinement. The board is perfect, I have nothing to complain about. I remember reading reviews about the paddle slipping up and down. Well mine did to, it doesn't now. My fix was to remove the pin that holds the locking latch on, tighten the little bolt 2 full revolutions, put it back together and whoo hoooo no slippage. But I did it 1 revolution at a time because I didn't know how much to tighten it. It hasn't slipped any since, 90% of the milage has been since I tighten it. I'm giving it a 5 even working on the paddle, but it was simple. Buy it get on the water and have a great time.
