I bought this SUP. My first one. Inflation to 14 psi takes about 8 min and it is super rigid. I am 225 lbs and I have no issues standing and paddling for long periods of time. Average for my trips is between 2 - 2.5 mph. Longest so far is about 45 minutes. I have left it inflated for 3 days once and it held pressure and still worked well. I am assuming I will mature and want something more expensive eventually, but for now I am super impressed.

Any thoughts on the hyper lite pontoon?

Ese motor no funciona para inflar el paddle, solo infla a 7psi y no da mas.

Pass on this board. Why? Too short and too much flex. I returned back to Costco and got the Body Glove Performer and it's a much higher quality board. The BG board is very stiff, more room since longer at 11' x 34", more stable, and the high quality is very apparent. I'm not saying this Hyperlite board is bad, but I am saying the BG Performer is better.

What is the point of doing the "flex test"? The boards aren't meant to hold weight like that which could cause damage/excessive wear, and doesn't translate to real world testing in the slightest since the whole board is meant to be supported by the water, not on two points on saw horses. Is there a reason I am missing? Oh my god and now the torture test? I'm sorry but that just isn't smart or practical. Man, you can't call these videos "reviews" if you didn't even test them. It's like a half-assed overview. I hope you don't start making videos again and potentially influencing people to make purchases when you haven't even tested and shown what you are displaying. I can't believe how many people do this with everything.

All that and you skip how to unscrew the inflator properly from the board after you’ve inflated it!!

I got this board, glad l did after watching this review. Have not had it on the water yet but impressed with the overall look and feel, seems durable. Sure if you weigh 200 lbs it might not be the board for you, there are bigger boards. I'm 155 and my wife is 115 lbs.

When I try to inflate my elevation iSUP with the included electric pump, the pump always shuts off at around 7 PSI (I have it set to turn off at 15 PSI). I don’t hear leaking at the gasket or anywhere else. I can turn the pump back on, but it always shuts off about about 10 seconds. Any ideas why this could be happening? I leave my car running while inflating.

I got this, I hope it does well on the water. I got seats for it.

Great review. What is the difference from sup with 3 fins vs 1 vin

well done !!!!

I bought it and after five days I had to return it because the sides were peeling the glue started to let go

Your channel deserves more views, great job on making these reviews

I purchased 2 of these as my wife and my first SUP. I weight 190Lbs. I ended up having to inflate it to 16lbs. It was just too flexible for me to even stand on. I kept falling. Once I over inflated I was good to go. I'm sure that's against what is recommended but it worked. I'd also say that ours inflate way faster than this one did in the video. Ours take less than 5 min to fully inflate. Great review!!!

The time difference between the HyperLite vs BG board fill time was 2 minutes..non issue. What the BG single stage pump does better is it will fill 3 boards in a row, non stop. The HL pump gets HOT with one board fill. Fins: as one who has 4 isups, my long single fine boards are a pain in shallow water. If I hit a rock or submerged tree limb with my long fin boards, I will get tossed over the front. Did it twice. The fixed 3 fins on the BG board is great, especially when on the ocean and riding waves. That's not the place to use a long fin board like the HL or on a river that has shallows or when you need to make a quick turn. Finally the extra length of the BG board at 11' vs HyperLite at 10'2" makes a difference as the BG board gives me a faster touring speed vs the HL I returned.

I had this board for a week and 3x on the water and returned it to Costco for the Body Glove Performer 11. Why? It's too flexy and not as stiff as the Body Glove. It's a slug on the water if 200+lbs and pushes too much water vs the Body Glove. Only the front of the board has bungie gear tie down and none on the year. BG has both front/rear bungie system. If you are new to inflatable boards, lighter the board means more flex. THe BG board has triple stringers for super ridged strength and this one does not.

are you looking to review more lesser known brands? Outdoor Masters/ GIli?

Another great review Chris. 👏 I'd be interested in an irocker or atoll board to see how they would do in your torture test. That is one tough test! Keep up the great work!

Terrific review. I love the torture test. I have this board, and it's o.k., but I wish I had the hyperlite watching your review of it. Less flex, better removable fin, and better pump. Thanks!

Nice job. Thanks!

Great review

You get more than you pay for with those, excellent boards.
