I just order the meno 11.6. I bought the adventure last year, I love it but when it came to taking my lady out and her wanting to be with me and not be on her own board it was difficult to kept us both from not going in the water lol. I know there's some upgrades of the 2021 models and I can't wait to see them first hand. I love Gili boards, and especially what they stand for. this is a great review, I can't wait to hit the water with the meno when I get it. can't wait to post videos on here with the meno. thanks for the review of the 2020 model
Interested in this as well. Was looking at the Irocker 11 All around, the BlueFin Cruise Carbon, and the Blackfin Model X/XL. Just saw this Gili meno and the price, construction and accessories and the carbon paddle, carbon rail and the weight capacity makes it a really interesting option. Thanks in advance for your advice
@@mevsme3908 Regarding the iRocker boards, there's a surge of 1-star reviews on Better Business Bureau and Trustpilot, that's why I'm a bit concerned ordering from them.
It is definitely a comparable option that is more budget friendly. However, the Blackfin Model X is a notch above the Meno in just about every category aside from cost. Especially when it comes to the quality of the deckpad and the number of features. As for iRocker's customer service, we find it to be one of the top companies to work with. As for the recent reviews, I believe that is largely impacted by COVID unfortunately. All manufacturers have been impacted in this category and it has just been a wild year for them but they are still a reputable company by all means!
I’m debating between the Gili Meno and iRocker All Around 11’. I like the design more for the Gili, but otherwise they seem similar. What would be your pick between the two? The board would be mainly for me (5’5 ~150lbs) and then occasionally have my husband (6’2 ~220lbs) or friends join.
I’m in a similar debate. Leaning towards Meno because of US fin box. The snap ins on center are not universal and really limit options (especially if want a motorized fin in future)
What did you end up getting Ashlee and Joel? I’m a beginner beginner and watched and read a million reviews and also joined some Reddit and FB groups, I was between iRocker and Atoll, ended up getting Atoll. Their reviews were awesome and I called them to ask some things, customer service was excellent so I was sold!
The best investment I’ve ever made, very stable...love my Gili “meno”
We love to hear that!!!

I just got today the same 11'6ft on the video, looks amazing
Great review. I got all excited and found that they are all sold out right now, which shows you are spot on with the review!
Does the extra foot make a huge difference when thinking about how many people you can put on there?
That dark deck color would be no bueno here in Florida. Too hot for the feet.
Would you recommend this board over BLACKFIN Model X?

What lake is that? Looks great.
A nearby reservoir in our corner of southwest Utah!
Can you add two kayak seats to the 10' 6
We've never tried it, but there look to be enough D-rings that you could certainly try it. It'd probably be a little cramped though.

Would you be able to say that this is a good/stable paddle board for a beginner?
He actually did say that in the video
Any good for yoga?
Yes! This board is great for yoga.
