What do you guys think about the niphean paddle boards? Thanks for the help!!

The body glove performer 11 is on sale at Costco for $300

I pump a 12' Bluefin with their pump in about 6 minutes to 18 psi. 15 minutes? You are either taking long breaks or forgetting to use the double action at the beginning.

Get a life, Mr and Mrs negative.

They completely float 🤣🤣🤣

Teaching us about extra weight? Nonsense!

Awesome thank y’all for posting this! I see some people being kind of gate keepy like “you need to get at least a $500 board or it’s trash” and that’s simply not true.

Cheap SUP - is ok. But cheap camera?! That's a felony!

Great info, thanks

Look for tie downs😊

The title made me think I was about to get a 'downside' list of why it is best to spend much more, so what a pleasant surprise to hear many of the conclusions I have already come to myself, two budget boards and half a dozen adventures into this! I agree.

As a beginner & after watching dozens of paddle board videos, this is the best, most relative & real for those starting out. Thanks for sharing

I find inflatable ones less stable than regular ones. I have to balance it way more actively than a regular one I rented

Great tips, I just bought my first one today. It was 250$ I’ve been wanting to buy one for 2 years now

Would you recommend the roc or goplus?

Great video!

I must be fit as my 11ft board was done in five minutes 🤷

I just started and I have to say that pumping up my board by hand is like double the workout that actually paddling is.

my partner found an Aqua Cruz paddleboard at Aldi's for $99. We're on the 2nd year now of use and just got done taking it out on the lake. Would definitely not be spending $400+ on a paddelboard, unless we did this multiple times a week. But for us casual lake and river floaters, it's awesome.

I rode a cheap amazon board for 3yrs before upgrading. Served me well

I bought a $100 board off Amazon, it was literally the cheapest one on there that day, pump lasted 2 uses! LOL But I was expecting that so I wasn't bummed and I threw it in the pool to see if I and the kids would like it. Bought an electric pump and now looking at another board to head to the lake soon!

I have 3 and an inflatable kayak and I've done the best memories with friends, family and dog <3

You still liking this setup? Ever try just a spacer in the back?

Thank you so much for this. My family has been looking at sups for over a year waiting to be able to afford a good quality one because everywhere said not to buy cheap but you made a good point, why wait to have an expensive board when we could be making good memories now on cheap ones. I actually stopped your video at that point, got on the phone to my sister and we found one with over 2000 reviews 4.5 stars for only £149. We ordered one each and they will arrive Wednesday lol x

230 usd is not cheap fuck sake

Thanks for such a informative video! If used in salt water is there a cleaning ritual that has to be deployed? What about sand clleaning for beach use?

I purchased a generic paddleboard off Amazon for under $200 a couple years ago because I wasn't sure if it was something I would stick with. Now we have 3 of same. A good friend purchased one like it last year and out of the box it had a leak around the fin. Our 3 have been great, heading into 3rd season with them with no problems! Mine even held 2 of us for a day when we discovered the leak in my friends board lol. I stay mainly in creeks and springs with them, so they've survived lots of collisions with stumps and downed trees. When mine finally wears out, I won't hesitate to invest a little more $$ in one, but my cheap one has been fantastic! Bags and pumps still work as well, but I did invest in an electric pump this year

Can these things spring a leak and leave you stranded out in ocean?

I’m glad to see you both on the board and it still floats. I weigh a little less than both of you. I’ve got an 11’6” sup that’s 34” wide coming tomorrow that’s rated at 370 pounds. It should do well.

My first iSUP cost me $300 and lasted me 5-years with A LOT of abuse and UV rays. I consider myself an expert after many years of the sport and would never consider getting anything that costs more than $300.

Nice Wink!!

Awesome vid thank you!

At 0:24, it looks like the bridge at Marina Pacifica, next to the infamous concrete steps, where unsuspecting riders can "slip and fall and KILLLL themselves!!!" And 1:01, Mother's Beach with the 2nd Street bridge in the background!

Bought for 125 euro today! Hope it will last for some summers😁

So glad to hear this! I just ordered a ROC Kahuna. Can't wait to test it out :)

It’s all I ever do is budget SUPs 200and under I’ll just spend extra for a good electric pump and a decent paddle

Great Reviews! Leash? PFD? I work as an ICU RN and see many near drownings/drownings every year from people that don't wear their leash and/or their pfd.

Just got two boards for 180 cant wait to get out there with my daughter as we tried it at my fathers and really enjoy it

I purchased an affordable paddle board and I have been using it a lot both in lakes and sea. I only upgraded to a better paddle and hand pump but the board is doing great in every condition so far. I will probably buy a more expensive board in the future but for now there is nothing I can't do with this.

I see you list Advenor. I'm buying the 11' 33" 6" one. What electric pump will work with that? Both the Serene Life and the Dewalt listed above?

217 plus whatever little extra! Haha good job

Recently bought one of these and it's honestly one of the best purchases I've made for my spare time. It's just such a great way to get out and explore the water, where usually you never really get to go.

Great video! I would say don't lay the board on the fins! That's a big no no

Huh? 15 minutes pumping? My double kayak takes less than 5 minutes with a hand pump.

When you’re storing it wet, is it going to get gross??

So what's the best one? Lol

Is the total weight of both of you 217 lbs?

Thanks for this, I’m thinking of giving this a go

Thank you for giving an honest review of the budget boards. Some shop owners really talk these down and sometimes I think they'd rather us go in into debt or stay away from the sport if this is all we can afford.

Do you recommend the Goplus? I’m thinking about purchasing it for my first board! 😊
