Glad I made the purchase!
So - I've only had it in the water once - that is why I only gave 4 stars. Our neighbor has one that they have used for over a year. They bought theirs used and have been very happy with it. (Different color). It was easy to set up - no difficulties there. I didn't take it out on the water right away due to not have spectacular weather. What can I say? I'm a wimp. Anyway - when I did take it out - I only floated. And I did float and did not sink. So that is a win so far. I'll take it out to actual paddle board and revamp my review.
