I was ready to love this paddleboard, but unfortunately it had several problems right out of the box. First, the largest fin box was bent, probably from how they packaged it at the factory, so I could not insert the fin. Second, the rand (the strip of heavy-duty PVC material wrapped directly over the seams where the top and bottom meet) was damaged at a fold, again probably by how the factory folded it for packaging. And lastly, the air pump that came with it did not actually fit the valve inlet! I had a different pump so I was able to inflate the board, but if I have not already had a pump I'd have been totally out of luck. I'm sad because it really is very nice looking and I would have enjoyed using it.
