- We have one ROC and one SereneLife inflatable stand up paddle boards... so here's a little video to detail some of the few differences between the two and our impressions of both. Maybe this will help you choose the one best for you!
This review was so clutch. Those were precisely the boards I was considering on Prime Day.
Awesome! We use both of these regularly. I just need more since my kids always take off with them ;-)
This was the exact comparison review i was looking for. Thank you so much, and well done!
Wow thanks so much for watching and the positive feedback! You'll love being out on the water with either of these options for sure!
Same!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video comparing the two. It has been so helpful. Blessings to you and your family
Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching! We love these boards, we've taken them both all over and use them regularly. We just got back from a lake camping trip, during which I had to fight for a chance to use a board. My kids and their friends were on them from dawn to dusk for 3 days :-) You can't go wrong with these boards!! Here is a vid of that trip with a good bit of paddle boarding: czcams.com/video/fghqOAA_Bdc/video.html and here is a short one of paddling with my dog on the SereneLife czcams.com/users/shortsjI8h_9IJIMc?feature=share
@@kampinglogik wow love it! You guys rock! If you can, can you please share some tips on how to get your dog to paddle board? I’m sure so many people would watch it!!! Your dog does great! You guys live the coolest life! 👏
@@nataliechristina1764 ahhh thanks so much. Yeah good idea about a dog/SUP video :-) I will try to do this next trip to the lake! I actually just answered your dog/SUP tip question on the other post, as I saw that comment first. Yep we pretty much use any and all available opportunities to get out and camp, sometimes with the whole fam, sometimes without my wife, sometimes just me, the dog and my son, pretty much whoever is available 🙂 Short trips, long trips, whatever we can manage! Always a good time
I just ordered 2 Serene life boards before seeing this video. Knowing the use your boards are getting along with this review makes me more confident in my purchase.
Thanks!
Someone stealing your board while you were parking your car and ruining a family outing really sucks. Sorry to hear..
Yes!! We are on our 3rd summer with the SereneLife, many good sessions and it is still going strong! You will love it, I'm sure :-)
I have done so much research on both of these and the bluefin … good review 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching! We definitely had ours out on the lake for Memorial Day weekend!
excellent review - exactly the comparison I was hoping for and the details are great - especially the fin differences and handles. thankss
We just spent a couple nights camping at a nearby lake with some family friends. 12 kids between us. The kids were paddle boarding on these from morning till dark. So thankful for these paddle boards!
This was fantastic, exactly what I needed! Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad it was helpful. We use both of these boards regularly and they are always great!
Thanks man just what I was looking for!
Epic!! Glad it was helpful. You can't go wrong with either of these!! We have used them so much... always a good time
Thanks for the great information!
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! Honestly you can't go wrong with either one!
Thanks for this review, so helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! Yes, we just had ours out this weekend, they are always so fun, everyone in our fam loves! Here is a video from a camping trip last month, with a decent amount of SUP time in it: czcams.com/video/fghqOAA_Bdc/video.html and here is a short one of me paddling with my dog: czcams.com/users/shortsjI8h_9IJIMc that will get you hyped :-) And here is a video of another off-brand, but decent SUP that may fit the bill and is in that first video link: czcams.com/video/F1VhTQKGA5Q/video.html
Thanks for the great video!
Wow thank you so much for watching!
You’re the bomb! Thanks for the vid
oh wow! THANKS so much for watching!
great review, thank you
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful. We continue to enjoy these 2 boards regularly. I need more of them, as my kids and their friends often monopolize them all day!
I LOOOOOVE this. I bought a ROC 3 weeks ago and the bag ripped, the handle on the roc tore off and the valve didnt work properly for me. So I am debating getting the serenelife now cuz I am still in the return window. Thank You!
Sorry to hear about your ROC... ours has been great - no issues. The SereneLife we have is over 2 years old and on its 3rd summer... going strong!!! I'm sure you will love the SereneLife
@@kampinglogik Do you mind me asking how long you have had the ROC for? I only heard and read good things about it so I was surprised too. So hopefully Serenelife is a good buy. I am planning on paddling through the fall too.
@@sheebax8805 yeah that was surprising to me too... our ROC seems very well made. We have had it over a year, 2 summers with it now... we have paddled with it regularly, even in multiple states. We have a bunch of kids, so everything we use gets stress tested from day 1 :-)
Awesome video !! I am still deciding between the serene life or advenor 11" I will like to go with my kids , so I read that 11 is better for the weight. Any other reviews about Sup will be helpful at least to me. Thanks for the video
Hey thanks! Glad it helped. I do have some more paddleboard-related vids I will try to get uploaded soon. I originally wanted a 11' board as well, for the same reasons. At the time I couldn't get an 11' board in a timely or cost effective manner. I have been more than happy with the 10' boards, they are plenty stable, my wife or I can paddle with 2 kids each. The boards are firm enough, you won't confuse it with the feel of a hard board, but from my experience, the hard boards are just a ginormous pain logistically unless you have your own boat dock. For travel/transit the inflatable SUPS are the only way to go. But if you can get your hands on an 11' board I'm sure that would feel great in the water. In my use the 10' have been great... you can't go wrong in my opinion.
@@kampinglogik thanks for the reply! I'm 5-9 and 190lbs u think that a 10 .6 will be enough for us. Let's say me and my wife together or me and the kids (2).
Yeah that Advenor looks like a good deal, assuming the quality is decent. I'm not sure about 2 adults, probably doable if you have decent balance and pump up to the max recommended PSI. Get one and try it, if you love it - you'll probably want another one :-) haha
How do the boards compare when standing on them? How sturdy do they feel? How much do you have to stabilize each board with feet while standing? Thanks!
Honestly over the past 2 years-ish of having these 2 boards, I would honestly buy either one again. The external details seem to be what sets these two apart. Both have held up fantastically well. I prefer the aesthetics of the ROC personally but whenever I end up on the Serene Life because someone already has the ROC out on the water, it never bothers me at all and I can't really tell much difference. Both are extremely stable, if you have them up between 7-10 PSI they are very comfortable. At 5 PSI they are still completely usable but are little flexible. At the max recommended 10 psi they are very stable underfoot. I have used hard glassed paddle boards in the past, they feel great, very stable. However the trade off for their weight and awkwardness of transportation is a no-brainer for me. We were just in Florida and got to do some paddle boarding on the Gulf coast. We used these two boards and also borrowed some soft/foamy style paddle boards so that more of us could paddle out together. Everyone who used the foamy boards definitely preferred the feel of our inflatable ones, they actually felt more stable and were much easier to maneuver compared to the foamy boards.
As far as stability goes, we often have 3 kids out on a paddle board at once, or even times with one adult and two kids, or 2 adults, or an adult and a dog and a kid :-) So yes, I'd say these boards are very stable!
I feel like both paddles are the same. The screw on the Roc one is tighter though that's why if feels more solid when you slide it in to reduce its size.
Hmm... well I'm sure the suppliers of the accessories change overtime for these companies, but the two paddles we have from the two sets are definitely not identical. The ROC paddle has a deeper hand hold at the top of the paddle for better grip and also has a more noticeable "gas shock" type of feel when you slide it in and out, and as you mentioned a tighter clamp for the size adjustment. Which make it feel a bit better to me than the Serene Life paddle. Of course for $40 you can buy a better paddle than either of these off amazon... but that's a good chunk more!
@@kampinglogik gotcha. Thanks for replying. Great content BTW
@@dreesunc wow thank you so much!
What happened to your serene life board? You said it met an untimely demise.
Yeah we had a 2nd one, still have the one in this video. It was in the bag on the beach and someone walked off with it while I was parking.
Do the paddles float?
So in my experience, I would say the Serene Life paddle shafts do in fact fill with water. We had a 2nd Serene Life board and paddle (the board "walked away" unfortunately on a road trip) and we had previously lost the included paddle while my kids and their friends were having "SUP battles" on in our local small lake. After searching all over the lake, I could only presume the paddle sank. The Serene Life paddle we still have (the one in this video) definitely has to be drained of water at the end of the day, confirming my conclusion that the other paddle did sink... the ROC paddle does not seem to soak/leak water, at least so far (several months of use)
I smell what the roc is cooking
