“I have used this board about a dozen times now. Very happy with the performance from this board. While on vacation using this board I had some paddle issues. A connector became loose but still useable. I contacted Thurso directly and within 2 days I received a brand new paddle delivered to my home.Very happy with the board and would say customer service is a 10 plus. We contacted them on a weekend at 10pm and reply was within 5 minutes. Shocked me. As I said , within 2 days a new paddle had arrived.Board is high quality, stable and fast. Would def recommend this board, but adding on the 5 customer service , I would say you can not go wrong with this purchase.”

“First time paddle board owner. Could not be more pleased. Board and accessories store easily and compactly in the sturdy and roomy backpack. Setup is a snap, but a bit of a workout with the pump. Bought the kayak seat to go with the board. Board handles 300lbs of me and dog easily. Tried to introduce it to the dog slowly, as I'm an utter novice. He was having none of that... jumped right on first time it hit the water. Five stars from me plus five dog bones from Bentley.”

“I'm going to write a little story, so prepare to be amazed with magic and mist.I've been looking to a watercraft solution for almost a year. I drive a tiny car that I have no intention of getting rid of for the very long future. I've been wanting a Kayak for the past 8 months but it's just not feasible for me to transport it, so I decided that perhaps a kayak wasn't the answer. Maybe kiteboarding? Surfing? I wanted to get on the water and take advantage of Guam while I remain stationed here. (US Coast Guard).My friend randomly showed up with an inflatable board by another (much more expensive company) and I was so intrigued by its build and rigidity and AWESOMENESS that it struck me as a new necessity.After long hours of research, I chose THURSO SURF and holy mcnuggets did I choose wisely! This is your answer for an inflatable board that can probably do most of anything.Shipping to Guam is a nightmare because of customs, so the box arrived mutilated and surrounded by tape (This is normal, no fault to Amazon fulfillment, they take apart every box in this nature) The contents were well-packed inside the given bag and there were no missing pieces. I'll give a little mention to all included:The BACKPACK!This backpack could be sold alone and be well worth the money. The zippers have a heavy feeling to them and the material feels extremely sturdy and well-made....not to mention that there is a fairly decent amount of padding on the back and shoulder straps. There are two additional buckles, one around the waist and the other around the chest. These snap . I didn't get much use out of them because I haven't been hiking with this thing yet but I'm sure it'll be handy.Carbon Fiber Paddle: I've never been on a paddle board, so I can't give an accurate comparison. They say it's super light compared to other materials, so for what it's worth I was paddling for about 2 hours and was not fatigued. I can tell you that it is super aesthetic, and I do like how badass it looks.Deck Cooler: This was a fun surprise that I might not have thought of until you get thirsty while boarding about. It kept my water bottles relatively cool on their own, I will need to add some gel ice packs next time. One note, the interior chamber is NOT water proof. I totally fell off the board and capsized... not a negative aspect really, but you should be aware that your sandwiches should be in plastic baggies and not wrapped in foil or napkins just in case.Foot leash: The straps are solid and I definitely had to use this when I fell off, and it did its thing. The fact that it's a coiled line is a big plus, it never got in the way while I was out there.The pump: It's a dual action pump with a pressure gauge. It works well. It took me about 10 minutes of pumping in total, and that was with a two minute break (once you get to 10 PSI or so I switch to the single action mode as it can get strenuous.THE BOARD! The main event! THE LEGEND! I filled it up to about 14 PSI and it felt great to stand on, sit on, and inevitably fall off of (no fault of the board, I'm just super inexperienced with it). It looks fantastic, several others on the water that day asked me about it and got several compliments. Standing on the board is comfortable and cushy, but still feels rigid . Once inflated, it feels very solid. The bungee straps on the bow were able to hold all of my snorkel gear and could probably hold even more stuff. Nothing came loose when I capsized. Deflation is easy and painless. you roll it up, wash it with fresh water, and everything fits great in the bag.All inflatable boards stick out of the water a bit more than a standard, and I had a little problem with the wind pushing me, but that's expected and wasn't a huge deal (even with 15 knot gusts).I also purchased the seat that THURSO sells, and it fit well and had plenty of support. I have bad knees due to surgeries and kneeling isn't comfotable at all. I'd recommend it if you are a fan of back support and just chillin in the water to enjoy a snack.If you're in the market for an inflatable paddle board, this is pretty much the best deal you're going to find. Highest quality materials, head turning aesthetics, and a competitive price put this as my #1 choice. I'm about to go out again right now!”

“Aside from the blade of the paddle falling off , it all seems great. Can't wait for the replacement to come in so I can get back out!! I cancelled an order with a different company because I couldn't find any credible reviews, this one had plenty of independent, reliable reviews. And great customer service which is mandatory when your selling products that cost almost a thousand dollars. 5/5.”

“I didn't give it much thought, but the pump is 5. I was worried that I wouldn't get it back in its back pack but the pump sucked all the air out and it fit perfectly. Great for bringing along on your boat because it doesn't scratch the boat. Love the detachable fins and the paddle is very light. Not to mention the board itself which was comfortable to stand on and stable. I'm a beginner and have been improving and having fun! I just recommended this to a co-worker. Great Board!”

“I don't usually leave reviews but I am so happy with this product and the customer service that it deserves those 5 stars. High quality all around, this kit has everything you need except a pfd. The paddle is light, easy to handle, and simple to adjust. The fins are super easy to put on/take off and really help the performance. I've done calm lake and ocean with mild white caps and it performed better than expected in both. I was weary that the faux wood look would be tacky but it's beautiful. Most people I run into think it is solid wood construction with a rubber bumper. I had a minor repair issue which was more about me not reading the manual and the support staff was very quick to respond professionally and with the right answer. Very pleased. The only problem now is that my wife loves this so much that I have to buy another one for myself.”
