Edited review - RECOMMEND READING BOTH PARTS
The media could not be loaded. Â Had this about a week. Although board itself seems reasonable quality and storage bag is good size, Pump gauge doesn't work and fins don't fit. Effectively this product is not usable as I have no idea what the pressure is (I don't want to under or over inflate) and obviously you need the fins fitted on the underside. I've since read that other people have filed them down to fit in the slots but you really shouldn't have to do this. I am currently emailing the company and waiting for them to tell me when they are sending a new pump and some fins that actually fit. Quality control appears to be lacking.They have been prompt in response and I will update and add to this review when the problems are resolved. Overall, very disappointing shopping and product experience. I could only equate this to buying a car and the speedometer and the steering wheel not working.3 weeks later:After lots of good communication and support, I received a new pump which works well. I've now used the board three times, twice inland and once on the sea. Really good board, paddle is solid and bag is excellent size (see pics) as it also fits my dry bag and bouyancy vest. When fully inflated board feels really sturdy. Can't fault it and have enjoyed using it.Plus, the KOI design looks pretty good too - complimented by other river users.

Perfect paddleboard
Everything you need, whether you're a beginner or a pro.I have nothing but good things to say about this product!Initially I was a bit dubious about purchasing after reading over some of the negative reviews, however, after seeming some other comments that stated how helpful the sellers were, as well as tips for potential issues that may arise, I decided it was worth a punt.First pros ... There was a ÂŁ40 discount code, making it one of the cheapest paddles boards (11ft 6) on AmazonItem was dispatched and delivered via prime, promptly and without any issues. You do need to be available to sign for this package.Upon opening, it was exactly as described. The colours were popping, so vibrant!It takes roughly 7-10 minutes to manually pump up. You do need to get to 12-15 psi and it does get a little difficult at the end, but you will get there. Some people have stated the guage on the pumps do not work. Note, they may seem that way, but you'll find that once the paddleboard reaches a point of inflation, the guage will kick in (around 5-6 psi) and then you're good to co tongue the rest of the way.Yes the fins are difficult to fit initially, however if you follower the sellers recommendation you won't have an issue.The paddle is super easy to put together and the carry bag is sturdy and perfect for transporting. I've walked approximately 1 mile with it on my back and had no issues at all.Finally on the water itself, works exactly as it should. Perfect for the days on the water.Would highly recommend this product!

Amateur paddleboarder review!
I am an amateur paddleboarder and was looking for a board which could assist me in learning the ropes with the ability of easily setting up on my own and easy to transport as Iâm always up in Scotland.Despite some of the reviews, I have used this board twice now and itâs been fabulous both times.Delivered in a box with says paddleboard on the outside, so make sure your delivery driver doesnât leave it on your porch!The bag it comes with fits all the included gear and it has also fit my new life jacket and dry bag, itâs very spacious and is of a good quality (although has got dirty quite quickly! Zips are of an okay quality but feel like they give way at some point in the future.**The pump** - this has had a lot of bad reviews stating that it doesnât show the PSI. I initially thought the same as my board was very hard but no PSI showing. It then jumped up to 6 PSI, so we kept pumping to 15 PSI and the board was ROCK SOLID. Honestly felt like a full plastic board. Just stick with the pumping. It took about 12/15 mins to fully pump (I will be investing in an electric pump though!)The board is vibrant and I love my design (Koi), itâs certainly cooler than a lot of boards I see! The board was stable on the water (4 hours so far) and didnât deflate at all whilst on it.**The fins** - Like other reviews, I did have issues with the fins. The smaller ones went in after about 5 mins and then it took 4 separate people to get the big fin in which took 15 mins. I ended up leaving the bigger fin out on the second paddle session as didnât want to mess about and this didnât impact my paddling. The plastic on the fin just seems a bit big for the bit in the board but I reckon it will loosen off when put in and out a few times.Overall I would recommend this board to anyone, especially as a starter paddleboard!

KOI Paddle Board
The Board looks great and required some work to get it set up (30mins). The pump gauge isn't working which isn't a good start and the fins did not fit into the fitting points. I followed the instruction hair dryer (pointless) in the end I used a dewalt palm sander to make the fittings narrower and boiled the kettle sitting the fin hooks only in the water in order to soften the plastic and allow the fins to be fitted and set correctly, after this they go in smoothly and easily each time. The board looks great and is very stable in the water on both flat and choppy water. So all in all requires some time and effort to set up unfortunately but it is worth the hassle at the beginning.Had a issue with a clip breaking but customer services at fun water have been excellent.
