We wish the carrying case was slightly bigger.

Budget-friendly shoppers wont have to sacrifice price for quality with the durable and sturdy FunWater Stand-up Paddle Board.

It took nine minutes to manually pump up the board.

We were thoroughly impressed.

While longer paddle boards can sometimes be difficult to maneuver, that wasnt the case with this one.

We had no issues controlling the direction of the board or turning with the paddle.

We especially liked that the manual pump has single and double inflation options to speed up the assembly process.

It weighs 24 pounds, and the heftiness was slightly noticeable during testing.

Besides having superior style, the paddle board impressed us by being incredibly easy to set up and deflate.

Attaching the fins and adjusting the paddle height can be fairly time-consuming.

The Gili Air is made with durable, high-quality PVC and is easy to maneuver.

It can be difficult to set up and break down the board and accessories.

Another thing to note is that the board can be difficult to roll up.

We found the easiest method is to roll it with the bottom facing upwards.

The board is on the heavier side and could include more accessories.

The inflation process is a little complicated.

We were able to fit multiple kids on one board without fighting for space.

The board also has the highest weight capacity on this list, safely holding up to 400 pounds.

It’s probably best for users who can pack it in the car and park close to the water.

After using the paddle boards on the water in various conditions, (windy, calm, etc.)

If youre looking to paddle long distances quickly, a 12-foot board will be better geared for that.

Any length in the middle (10 to 12 feet) is ideal length for all types of paddlers.

Yes, it’s possible for you to safely bring your dog on your inflatable paddle board.

And just like yourself, your dog should always wear a life jacket for their safety.
