I researched tons of iSUPs and after weighing the various options, this was by far the best balance between trying to keep the cost low and still having as many quality features as possible. I've had it for a couple of months now and taken it out on multiple occasions to different bodies of water in the Midwest (small and large lakes, wetlands, and creeks) in varying weather/wind conditions and so far, I have no regrets.As a petite lady in my mid-40s who typically goes out solo, it was really important to me to find an iSUP that I could transport, inflate/deflate, pack, and carry completely on my own, and this board has enabled me to SUP, kayak, and fish solo, with my dog, and even haul around a 14yo boy who outweighs me with zero trouble.PROS: fits easily inside carry backpack with extra storage inside bag AND in attached separate zippered front pocket; easy to inflate/deflate; light enough to easily carry, both packed away and inflated; perfect length/width for maneuverability AND stability on the water; all of the included accessories make for simple, easy switching between SUP/kayaking without having to get out of the water; great tracking with the incl 3 removable fins; tons of storage on front and back bungee sections; paddle-keepers are a lifesaver; very hard and sturdy once inflated; easy to fish off of it with 2 fishing pole base mounts (only comes with 1 rod holder though); detachable padded shoulder strap makes for easy carrying from car to dock/ramp/shore; comes with basic repair kit to take on the water with you for emergency repairs; incl dry bag and waterproof phone case on lanyard w/safety whistle were nice touches; LOVE the incl kayak seat and footrest!!So comfortable for longer paddles - I wavered on whether I really needed the inflatable seat, back and footrest, and I'm so glad I paid a little more for this one bc it was def worth it. Finally, although appearance wasn't the most important thing, I really enjoy the bright colors and overall fun look, and given my tendency to paddle in wetlands areas far off the beaten path, the bright oranges, yellows, and blues make it very easy for others to see me on the water which can be an important safety feature. This iSUP/kayak is very easy for even a total beginner to balance and stand on, and it moves through the water effortlessly.CONS: the convertible 4-piece paddle has two problems that mean I will probably buy a more expensive paddle at some point in the future - first, it is very heavy and if you let go of it for even a second, it will sink, and second, despite being length-adjustable in both configurations, it is tricky to get it to stay locked in place while in SUP-mode and kept slipping down, even after I "locked" it into place correctly, which was irritating; it also didn't include any kind of cup-holder or upright phone base/holder with all of the great accessories and although I can buy those, even on my first trip, it became a drag to have to totally stop moving forward, get up, move to front of board (can't reach storage area from the seat otherwise), and unsecure my water bottle from the front bungees, and then do all of that in reverse to resecure it every single time I wanted a sip of water on a hot summer day; and, as others have mentioned, you'll likely want to buy an electric pump for convenience, although I've pumped it up using the incl one with just elbow grease with no trouble, just tiring and slow. Given the price, I didn't expect the incl convertible paddle to be top of the line, and I knew I'd probably want to purchase an electric pump down the road, so neither of those were deal-breakers for me, and none of the cons have interfered much in my ability to thoroughly enjoy my itaostar iSUP/kayak so far.I have no regrets whatsoever and if you're on the fence, just do it! Overall, I couldn't find a better iSUP/kayak with more accessories anywhere, after several months spent shopping around and trying others' out. So happy with my purchase!!

I had previously bought a different SUP but returned it when I saw this one. It is absolutely stuffed with accessories, cool attachments, and so many different thoughtful touches they added throughout. For example, the kayak seat alone has 3 separate capabilities than SUP kayak seats from other brands I saw: it has a cup holder in the front, the seat is inflatable for more comfort, and the back has a zippered pocket to store stuff! This comes in so handy!Itaos attention to detail is incredible. I even love the flag on the front which seems like overkill at first but when you're out on a lake and big boats are flying by on your left and right, you definitely want to increase your visibility and having that flag will help at least a bit.It is a little more expensive than the most popular SUPs on amazon but it's totally worth it. Even the bag that you carry it with has thoughtful features added to it. It has a separate front zippered pocket that I haven't even added anything to yet because everything else fits in the main pocket, but it's nice to have the option. It's also big and stable enough to carry a small family (parents and child).Overall I'm super happy with this SUP so far. The only thing I don't know about yet is durability over time. That will just have to wait and see, but it anything does break down I'll come back and update this review. So if you don't see any updates then this SUP is still working great!

This board is awesome!! Wider then my last one but creates it so anyone can balance on it !! Love the color and it comes with so much goodies !! A great buy the quality is top notch !! Definitely recommend

I was surprised and pleased at how large this paddle board is! It is very sturdy, has everything included and actually packs nicely into the carry bag. The only negative is that the pump does not register any psi...the gague does not move at all. I just stopped pumping when the board felt full.I am very excited and about this purchase.

Love this paddle board! Even better than I imagined! So sturdy and and love the bag it comes in to keep it all together, love the colors 💖

I looked at a number of iSUPs and was tempted to go on the cheaper side, but I am so glad I decided to splurge a little to get this one. In the end, I decided I wanted a 2-person paddle board (weight capacity 430lbs) and the price of this was comparable to other 2-person boards I looked at—significantly less than the higher end paddle boards with many of the same features.I appreciated the attention to detail and the wide range of high-end accessories. The bells and whistles I liked were:—Velcro holders for the paddle at the side—Inflatable Seat has a bungee cup holder at the base, and a pocket at the back (7”x9”).—Bungees at the front and back of the board—Lots of D rings—Extra Velcro straps (2)—Double-sided or single sided paddle option.—Everything fit easily in the provided bag.I happen to love the design and the colors. The one negative thing is the footrest I have was difficult to install using the existing bungee loops as seen in the directions/picture. I’m sure I could have figured out another way to secure the footrest, but I ended up not using it, and didn’t feel like I needed it out on the water, for my leisurely use. I see there is a newer model of this iTaostar paddle board with an inflatable footrest, and an upgraded inflatable seat, for a little more money. So, it looks like they tried to address the footrest issue. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and the price.

So this is my second paddle board. My first board is a 10' 2" x 30" x 6" inflatable and, although I was enjoying using it, I wasn't able to stand up because it wasn't very stable for someone my size (270lbs). So my search began for a larger board with a higher capacity.I spent some time looking through options and wound up going with this board for its length (11ft 6in) and capacity (430lbs) and it's price point. I also thought the board was quite colourful and had a fun print (it's on the bottom so it doesn't get enjoyed nearly enough) and it came with a good amount of additional accessories. After receiving this board, I realized just how basic my other board was. This board came with more than a paddle and a pump. The kayak seat and back are very comfortable with the back being high and nicely adjustable. Both my son and daughter really liked using the kayak feature and it was incredibly stable. My son was out on the lake and pulling 180 turns with ease and speed! Lots of bungees on the front and some on the back were nice for holding a water bottle while out on the water (beach day) and the dry pack it came with is a good size too. The leash is a great length and it does not ever feel like it is restricting movement with a good length and a comfortable cuff. Then, there are the handles. So many handles! but they are comfortable and a good size so it doesn't feel like its too much for your hand or too small that is digs into your finger grip. Handles on the front, back, middle, and sides. Easy for team carrying and a shoulder strap for the solo carry if you like!For my first go on the lake, I inflated to 14.5psi with an electric pump because hand pumping sucks! I haven't tried the included pump yet but it is a 2 stage pump to help ease use at high pressure. I was able to stand up right from the shallows and it immediately felt stable. Which is what i was really wanting out of this SUP. The board was stiff and rigid but still felt soft and comfortable after a lengthy run about on the water. There was a comment about how it felt slower compared to other boards and it did feel a touch slower but I am sure that is more due to its width and rider as no one else in my family really noticed much of a difference. Kayak mode was nice and swift though.I would highly recommend this board as it has been very enjoyable so far. At the very least I would say that bigger people like myself should really consider looking at boards with 400+lb ratings as they are definitely more stable.

What a great deal this board was! Some things to note.... this board is HUGE! It's long and wide. I think you could easily fit 3 people on this board. That being said, it is a little different to use than an average sized board and takes a bit of getting to know it to accommodate for the difference. Notably I stood a lot closer to the front than I do on my other board as it seemed to be more stable that way. It has two, front and back straps which is handy. Also a screw in cup/phone holder that you can put either in the middle or on the front of the board. The kayak seat is very wide and quite comfortable but I found using the kayak paddle attachment easier without the seat - that's just my preference, I found the straps for the seat got in my way personally. I love the single/ double paddle option. Really increases the places I can use my board. It also comes wait a 10lb dry bag, a dry phone case, really durable leg leash and the velcro holder for your paddle if you don't want to use it (really handy thing I didn't know I needed). I have a few boards and this might be my favorite. It's a real show stopper, people always ask me where I got it with all my fancy accessories. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

I can’t say enough good things about this package and board! The board itself is really well made and has been super durable for me, and the accessories that came with mine were perfect to use in multiple ways easily. Also, this board is HUGE, and easily accommodates two average sized humans! The footrest isn’t really useful unless you’re over 6’2. But overall a great package. My friend ordered the same board, and in a completely random incident one of the shoulder strap clips broke, damaging a few other components as the board dropped ( flag, camera mount, fin) he got in touch with iTaostar’s customer service and they shipped him replacements within the week!

Really pleased with it. it's stable in the water, can take 2 -3 average weight people (2+1 easily) with no issues. 10 min to set up and inflate, 5 min to deflate and put away with its own pump. It's great with the kayak seat as well. Not too heavy and fast enough in the water. I ended up buying an extra paddle for my wife from the same seller. Recommended!

This board is fantastic, very stable, good quality and incredible features (paddle holder, cup holder). The only issue was the guage on pump doesn't work and missing the bar for foot rest and dry bag. You have to go through Amazon support return is no problem but trying to get missing pieces sends you on a painful circular automated menu that results in no resolution. I didn't want yo return the whole thing just get missing pieces.
