This board is an amazing value. It's super thick so it's very stable. Very good manuverability for small streams. I like the removable fin for shallow water.
I weight 200 pounds and get almost no flex with this board at about 12 PSI. I can't do that with a 4" board.
I've hit a number of rocks with the board and it's held up great.

Living in Upper Michigan it will be a few months before I can test my Inflatable SUP in the water, so I can't really give it a rating yet. I'm confident though that I will be able to come back with a very good score. For now all I can do is inflate it and drool over the possibilities! I was impressed with how easy it was to inflate, and how sturdy it seems to be. I was also blown away by the customer service I've experienced. NEVER have I had such quick response to questions about the order itself, and later reassurance about inflating and the pressure gauge (which worked perfectly). These people are very accessible. So far..........so good!

Ordered my board in early July after learning how to paddle in the Virgin Islands. The quality is great, and it suits my size (6"4", 230#) much better than the board I rented on vacation which retailed for twice as much! Balance is a little tricky compared to plastic boards, but I haven't fallen the past several times. It would be nice if Tower sold a 12 volt pump- hand pumping several times a week gets old. I purchased one online elsewhere. I appreciate the comment that it is slower than plastic boards, but I paddle for the scenery and workout, not speed. we own a home in St. John, and just got back from a week there. The board traveled well in a rolling duffle bag and I was happy to note it seeming more stable in salt water than fresh. Maybe I am just getting better!

Bought 2. These things are just wonderful and so easy to carry around in the back of the truck. Hard as a brick when inflated. Hardly give at all with 200 lbs on them. Did I mention how fun there are?? It would be freat if these came with leashes though. Only downfall.

I have played around on hard SUPs and converted sail boards but they never floated me like the 6" thick Adventurer. This thing has so much buoyancy that I'm having a great time learning & getting great exercise.
