ISLE 11' Scout - Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board - 6” Thick iSUP and Bundle Accessory Pack - Durable and Lightweight - 33" Stable Wide Stance - Up to 315 lbs Capacity

I bought this for myself as a Christmas gift. Temperatures being what they are, I haven't taken it out on the water yet, but I thought I'd write a review based on my initial impressions. I'll update once I get a chance to take this baby out on the water this summer. I have paddle boarded for about two years. I've never used an inflatable before, but purchased one because I found a regular board was not practical for me. They've heavy, I'm petite and a long way from the water, I don't have a travel rack, etc. First, the material of the board is impressively sturdy. Not knowing what to expect from an inflatable, I am pleasantly surprised at how rugged and durable this appears. That was my first impression pulling it out of the box. After pumping it up, I stood on the board in my driveway and couldn't tell a difference between this and a fiberglass board. Whether I'll notice the difference on the water remains to be seen. But so far, so good. It comes with a pump that was much bigger than I anticipated. It only took about 10 minutes to pump the board from completely empty to full. Overall, it was easy to pump up, though those last few PSIs are tough grind, to be sure. It comes with a patch kit, should you need it. It doesn't come with a leash. No big deal. I just bought one here on Amazon. Another pro: The board is beautiful. I'm a girl. Pretty things are important to me. :) Probably the best thing about the board is the weight. It's not light as a feather, but if you've ever carried around a heavy fiberglass board, you will gladly appreciate the difference. It is noticeably lighter. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from an inflatable. But so far, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Now comes the hard part - waiting for summer to arrive so I can give this an official test drive. Edit: OK, I've ridden this for a full summer now. It did take a couple of sessions out on the water to get my sea legs on it. You can tell it's an inflatable, not a fiberglass, once it's out on the water. It's not a dramatic difference. Give yourself some time and you'll adjust. I've noticed by the time the waves get too choppy for me, none of the fiberglass boards are on the water either. It holds up well in light to moderate surf. I still love how light and portable it is. Because it's inflatable, I spend my energy paddling, not burning it all carrying a heavy board out to the water. Also, the material has held up well. I've bumped it, shoved it in condo elevators and scraped it on wall edges. Not intentionally, but things happen. It appears to be the same quality material as a river raft, tough and sturdy. Overall, I am still pleased with my purchase. And I'm ready for warmer temperatures to do some more paddling. :)

I love this board! I bought it because it's designed for Yoga. It's nearly as stable as the non-inflatables I've used before. Though, just a touch more wobbly in choppy water. The deck surface has amazing grip! I never felt my hands or feet slipping. The deck surface is large enough to comfortably do downward dog and plank, even though I'm 5'10". The pump has two settings which allows you to fill the board quickly, and then switch to high pressure mode to get up to 15 PSI. My friend's board pump does not have this feature, and she is not able to inflate hers past 12 PSI. Inflating is quite a workout, but it only took 10 minutes. The fin attaches easily with no tools needed. The board is a lot lighter than a non-inflatable, so it's *much* easier to carry. The paddle is good, and extends easily. There is a little bungee cord on the side of the board for stashing your paddle while doing yoga. This is a great feature! I attached a small anchor (purchased separately) to the D-ring on the tail of the board. The board deflates easily and fits right back into the bag. The only criticism I have is that the bungee on the front of the board is only a single line of cord. Other boards have bungee cord in an X-pattern at the front of the board which makes it easier to stash shoes and a water bottle. I am going to buy more bungee cord and make my own because that's something I want to have. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I looked at a lot of boards prior to this purchase. I intended to get an inflatable, but didn't want to settle. I have a friend who is really into the local SUP community, so one day I asked him about inflatables. He said, without hesitation, to get an Isle. He said they had two to supplement their hard boards and went on and on about how durable they are, and that he'd had some good customer service experiences. So I continued researching and debating between a couple lower cost boards. After finally pulling the trigger, I am so glad I did. My wife loves this board. She uses it for SUP yoga, and lake paddling. It is stable and rigid. We have ridden on it together, and had our children climb on and off while playing at the lake. People who ask about it are surprised that it is inflatable. We've never taken it to a river with moving water, so I don't know how it would behave in those conditions. The pump is decent, and you will get quite the workout with those last few pounds of air being pushed in. We run it between 13 and 15 psi., and haven't had any issues. When deflated and rolled into the bag, it is comfortable and light enough to carry for a considerable distance if you have to walk in to a place to SUP. The paddle seems nice to us, but this is our only SUP and paddle, so we don't have much to compare it against. The paddle does float, as we've tested that a few times. All in all, this is a great board, and seems to be worth the investment. We have added a leash to it, but aren't looking to upgrade anything else anytime soon.

LOVE this SUP! I'm able to fit it into the back of my car and go, all packaged up in it's nice little backpack. Took a little while to pump up to appropriate PSI but was all worth it, and again, I did it all by myself! This is the perfect way for me to travel and is so user friendly. It is beautiful and stable. I used it in mountain lakes in the PNW. The pump and tube for air flow is hard plastic so I'm not sure about the longevity of them but the SUP itself seems like it's going to last! I tried yoga on it too, and while I felt a little tippy, that's just an area of further growth and strengthening I will work on. This SUP is great! I'm not sure if there are replacements for the pump tube if needed? I'd consider this just in case...

So far I love it! Received it within a week (no prime shipping available). Was easy to inflate using a neighbors electric/battery pump. I had a hard time getting the gauge to work with the manual one that came with it but that could have just been user error. Most likely will invest in an electric/battery pump. Inflated to 12 psi (instructions say 12-15) and it felt perfect. I have taken it out solo and with my daughter on (age 7) and it's very stable and easy to navigate. The third fin is a little bigger/longer than some other boards so you have to be careful in shallow water/low tide but it's really not a big issue - just need to be aware of tides if taking in potentially shallow areas. I love the size of the board for my needs - super wide and thick so it feels very stable and can easily fit 2 people on. Also love the color! Very happy with this purchase so far.

I loved the look of this board and I love how light it is to carry. It's compact and easy to inflate but it's Waaay harder to balance on because it's so rubbery. I'm certain with practice I could get the hang of it. The down side, for me, because it's so light & thick, is that it's hard to climb back onto without touching the bottom. It seems well built and after several hours of using it, falling off & trying to climb back on, it didn't seem to lose any air. I love how soft the surface is also cushioning my fall & I fell a few times. I gave it a hardy try this weekend. I'm 5'4" & 150lbs. I have fiberglass & plastic boards. They're heavy & hard to travel with but easy to balance and climb back on. I tried this one, thinking it would be nice to travel with. I'm bummed that it won't work for me. I'm gonna give a thinner inflable a try next. Good Luck!

I have not yet had a chance to actually get this out in the water but I have inflated and deflated several times since my purchase. Its high quality which is apparent by how sturdy the material is. For me to inflate it takes about 6-10 minutes depending on the day. I had read the reviews about the pump not registering and thought I had gotten a defective pump but if you keep going even though you think no more air could possibly go into the board the pump will eventually register. I had an issue with the hose and talked to customer service rep who assured me there was no possible way to overinflated the board with the hand pump. The issue with the hose was resolved with no issues which was appreciated so they do have good customer service which is nice to know when dropping over $600 for something you have never physically seen. My board was the pink and blue one and right after they must have gotten a new design because I see the appearance has changed. I bought the Isle SUP Carrying bag backpack sold here on Amazon to go with it and the board fits nicely into it. In case anyone is curious this paddle board when rolled up will not fit into a standard size checked luggage bag. I was hoping to bring this with me on a recent vacation but ultimately decided not to because I didn't want to check it without having the protection of the luggage over it.

I am absolutely in love with this SUP. Inflation takes some patience. Getting it to register on the high pressure pump gauge takes a while. Also, make sure the high pressure pump is twisted and connected properly or the PSI will not register. Once it is inflated, it stays inflated. It is a very stable SUP. I get a lot of questions from others on SUPs. Onlookers can't believe it's an inflatable. It is easy to unload and carry down to the water. I see others struggling to carry theirs. I can carry this SUP on my head. I recommend for anyone who does not have the storage space for a standard SUP.

Ich habe das Board jetzt schon 2 Jahre und ich muss sagen es ist wirklich super. Gut es ist nicht das schnellste aber das muss es auch nicht sein. Es ist dafür sehr Stabil durch die Breite und so leicht fällt man dort nicht runter. Ich habe mir auch einen kleinen tiefsitzenden Camping Stuhl drauf montiert.

I absolutely love this board. It's beautiful and easy to carry. It takes 10 minutes to blow up, you can carry it down to the lake with one hand. It takes less than 5 minutes to release the air and when it's in the backpack it's very light. I'm just worried when rolling it up, the solid parts where the fin gets attached to will eventually get wrecked but so far haven't had an issue. I will be trying to roll it differently so it's not so bent in that area. I have taken it on the lake a couple times and enjoy it so much. I don't know if I would pay full price but I got it as the "deal of the day" and happy I did.

Bought 3 of these beautiful boards for 2 of my friends and myself. We all love the pattern and that it’s multy purpose. (Only wish the colours were reversed because the teal does show the dirt more than I think the grey would) does not come with a teather strap. Pretty easy to pump up in about 15min and the pumps all registered but not till the board is quite pumped already. We all cut and put a pool noodle at the bottom of are paddles about 12” after reading some of the paddles sink and it does not interfere with paddling at all. We picked a teal one that matches the boards nicely .

The paddle board exceeds my expectations from the fact that I got it a day earlier than expected, to how easily it inflated, it’s lightness and ease of carrying and how well it tracked on the water with both me and my son on it! Plus it’s really cute!

Super fun! Totally different ride than a hard board, but still super fun. Have used it on Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) a few times now and have zero complaints. The portability is priceless for me as I have a small car without roof racks.
