GILI All Around Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Package | 10'6 Long x 31" Wide x 6" Thick | Lightweight & Durable SUP | Stable & Wide Stance

I’ve been researching inflatable sups for a while, and I saw this come up for sale on Amazon. It had all the features I was looking and I really liked the design. The board looks even better in person!If this is your first inflatable, definitely try inflating it BEFORE you take it out for the first time. Keep in mind the air pressure gauge won’t register until you’re you’re past 7-8 PSI. The pump hose twists and locks in place on the valve. The high pressure valve will let out a loud hiss of pressurized air when you deflate the board, so don’t be alarmed. Before you pump up the board make sure the valve pin is rotated counterclockwise and in the up position. This is my first inflatable, and I’m used to riding hard paddle boards. At first, the board felt a bit unstable. As I got used to it the board it started to feel like a “normal” board under my feet. Make sure you inflate the board to the full 12-15 PSI, the added stability is worth the few extra pumps it takes.Deflating and packing up the board is quick and easy. The paddle breaks down into three pieces, and everything fits into the included backpack. I wasn’t expecting the backpack to be as nice as it was. All in all, this is amazing paddle board package at this price range. I’m really happy I went with this board.

Love having an inflatable SUP! For years I’ve had a hard board and I love it, but it’s not very travel friendly. So after much looking I decided to invest in the Gili for my upcoming trip to Big Bend. I have inflated it twice now and it will continue to become an easier process with a little practice. I also bought an electric Villanova pump to aid the pumping process although doing it all by hand is very doable. The backpack/bag is exactly as described and looks like it will hold up to wear and tear. All of the accessories are perfectly matched to the board and are of good quality. This board is super light weight compared to the 25lbs most weigh. This board comes in at 19lbs which was a big selling point for me. I’m looking forward to playing with it more this spring and summer and will update this post. When blown to the correct PSI this board is as stable and firm as my hard board. Super excited about this purchase! Update coming next week!Update: I drug this board for about two miles up the Rio Grande. I alternated between standing, laying, sitting and dragging it and it held up like a champ. Because of the low water I did not have it’s big fin on so I was thankful for the two little ones. So happy with this board it was easier than getting in and out of a kayak and my hard board would not have stood up to these conditions. Great board!

I Purchased the 10.5 foot inflatable paddle board. Absolutely love, love, love it! I'm 5' 7" and weigh about 117 lbs. My balance isn't the greatest so I was skeptical about my initial purchase...... but I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy and stable it felt on the water! I also had no problem carrying the board around while it was fully inflated. Once the board is deflated, it easily rolls up to a compact size and fits into its own backpack that was easy to carry. Paddle is super simple to use and adjusts lengths to fit your comfort level. Before this purchase, I had only used wood paddle boards and had no way to store or transport them.... so I never bought one. This board solved all my problems. It is a great paddle board for the price and I would highly recommend it! I'll be spending my summers on it~Thank you so much Gilisports!!!

What's not to love?The pump is perfect. The paddle is heavy but hardly a complaint at this price point. The backpack is humongous. I can put my life jacket, my 7 year old daughters life jacket, the board, repair kit, pump, my dry bag with two towels in it, and all of the rest of the board equipment in the bag and carry it with me.The huge fin tracks very well and being removable is a plus (less likely to damage it). I do get caught in shallow areas sometimes. I see that the newer model has three fins which would be a welcomed upgrade as long as the large center fin is still removable.There is a front handle, which sounds minor, but it is a huge deal in transporting the board. Having a place to hold in the center, front, or back, is a game changer both in and out of the water.My only complaint, which isn't major enough to ding a star, is the handle. It doesn't lay perfectly flat so if you lay on the board there's a lump. It also doubles as a velcro wrap to hold your paddle, but the wrapping is too short to hold the paddle securely. My parents have a Body Glove brand that doesn't have that issue with the strap.Overall I'm extremely happy with this board, but the Body Glove model (6 inches longer, 2 inches wider, has a rubber bumper on the nose for extra protection, and a go-pro mount instead of front handle-I dislike this option vs a handle) sold by Costco would be a fantastic other option to consider.If you can find one of these Gili boards, you won't be disappointed. I'm 5'10, 190 lbs, and I paddle with my 60 lb daughter on it and it works great.

Let me tell you, I love this board! I’m a 195 lb man, and not once did I feel like the board was too unstable. It’s awesome that I can fit two of these in my BMW trunk, and I don’t have to use half of my garage to store them!Pumping them up was easier than I expected based on other inflatable reviews, but it still took about 7-8 minutes. I can get my iSUP unloaded, inflated and start paddling before my friend can even get his kayak down from his roof rack.After buying the first one I was impressed with the quality of the board, so I bought a second one for my girlfriend. Now we can paddle together. She loves it, but she usually makes me inflate her board for her.You’re probably doing a lot of research before buying a paddle board. Even though this company and board are new, don’t hesitate to buy it - it’s just as good or better than the others.
