I received the board within days of ordering it and everything was as expected. Quality and workmanship is 5. I'm new to SUP so I cannot offer a comparison to other boards. I've been out on the water twice, both times for about 1 hour. Looks like I average about 3 mph as a beginner. Board is stable and floats my weight of 150 lbs very easily. Pump works well - it is a 3 stage and I use all three in the process of pumping it up (which I have done once so far). I also purchased an electric pump but have not used it yet. I am able to handle the board on and off our Jeep Cherokee on onto a rack in the garage relatively easily by myself.

I absolutely love this board. Great in the River or ocean. Super easy to inflate. Lightweight! So many places to put things and tie things down. Highly recommend!

I started getting into kayaking last year with a buddy of mine. Because of the inconvenience of transporting a kayak on my car I started to look into the iSUPs. It came down o ThursoSurf and a couple others and the Expedition Touring checked all my boxes. I was finally able to take it out on the water and hooked up the kayak seat to it because it was a crazy windy day. It exceeded all my expectations! I am so happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this board and any board from ThursoSurf .

So stoked to hear it! Thanks, Colton. The wind can be a real challenge when paddling upright so having the option to switch into 'kayak mode' is the perfect thing for a gusty day. Have a blast out there and thanks for the 5-star recommendation! See you on the water, Matt Social @ Thurso Surf

Thanks for the shout, Rafic! Very cool to hear you're digging the glide. Fair winds and flat waters! See you out there, Matt Social @ Thurso Surf

I haven't had this on the water yet, but I can speak to the quality of the build and the value. This is my third SUP. One other was an inflatable. This one far surpasses that one in the quality of its manufacturing and was about ⅔ the cost. The paddle is not fantastic, but is miles ahead of the one I got with the other inflatable. The carry bag is a marvel unto itself, and could be used for international travel by itself! Overall, a lot of consideration went into the design of this package. Triple fin. Very nice pump. Multiple D-rings. Paddle stowage straps on the side. Very heavy duty, double pivot leash. Hope to get it on the water within the next month or so and see how it tracks. Bravo!

Thurso is a great company with a quality product. Board is stable, yet maneuverable. The design is great! Material is really strong, yet still not too heavy to transport. Great board, great price! Customer service was super helpful on getting my order just right. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful, well engineered SUP board. Coming from a military background and manufacturing aircrafts and their components, it is very easy for me to scrutinize pretty much anything and everything. As soon as I receive the board, I inflated it and fully inspected it. Flawless is one word that comes to mind The built quality is irreproachable. So I immediately contacted customer service to order the kayak seat and paddle option to convert this SUP and it didn't take more than a few minutes to receive one of the best customer service experience. All in all, this company has gain my trust and respect for what they do and provide. This board is easy to inflate, and set up is a breeze. Love the backpack carrying bag. Gives the word portage a whole different meaning.

A great SUP, so glad I got the expedition, by no means am I am expert paddler, but I found no less stability vs an all-arounder given the 30' width added length, and the sleeker profile and nose does make it cut through the water easier. The extra rigging and paddle straps are also nice thoughtful design features. Great purchase, I'm really happy with it.
