Bought both the vapour and fusion a few weeks ago and very impressed. £250 decathlon full kit. Done around 10 miles total without any issues. I did swap out the leash for a coiled one though as used on a river. I have a 30 litre cool bag that i strap to the front and have no issues. I like that there are plenty of d -rings for attachments/kayak seat. Grounded on the fin a few times and not a mark on it. Great product for a beginner like me.

Yes great product. If you're on a river I would highly recommend a quick release leash or belt.

Thanks for the visuals! Every summer the first time I inflate mine I forget about the position of the valve! But not this year thanks to you 😂😂

Great video. Although I have kayaked several times I've never tried paddleboarding. Two mates, who have owned kayaks have actually now bought paddleboards and say they are better ... the transportation factor being a very big advantage for the SUP, over a kayak. I was going to buy a sit-on-top kayak too, but may give paddleboarding a try. The Aqua Marina brand seems very popular, with the Fusion visible all over the world .. I like it's colour. Finally, if I had a new inflatable toy I wouldn't be pumping it up on a beach covered in stones. At least where I live there is a nice sandy beach. Regards from Whitley Bay

Hi Brian, Thank you so much for the detailed comment. Paddle boards are very good. I feel standing on the water with a full 365 degree view is one of the many points of attraction. The transportation factor coupled with new technology to make them extremely rigid and the fact they come at a great price point is very appealing. The fusion is a super board, especially the 2021 version. The pump, bag are greatly improved with lots of other impressive features. I would recommend caution when pumping or putting your iSUP away on a sandy beach for a few reasons. You don't want to get sand into the valve. You don't want to put your board away covered in sand. The 16PSI 12V electric pump is very good. Once you pre-set the PSI you can leave the board to inflate in roughly 10 mins. So once you have got changed etc your board is ready to use. The inflatable kayaks are also very popular. If you're ever in Dublin be sure to give us a shout :)

@@adventuremarine5108 Thanks for your reply. Yes it's always essential to rinse your boat, board or whatever after being out on it. I've sailed, rowed and kayaked and this is always 'the done thing'. Getting sand in the valve wouldn't be too good. I actually lived in Holywood, near Belfast until i was 5, then moved over to England.

great video ... just one question ... can i inflate it just once and then, at the end of a 7-days holiday, deflate it or should i inflate and deflate the sup every single day?
@adventuremarine51085 ай бұрын
Absolutely. These boards are robust. I've done it many many times for even longer. Just be aware not to store it in direct sunlight as heat makes it expand. So as a precaution you can inflate to 14.5 PSI. Also remember the water which would be colder makes the board contract. You can also attach your pump and manually check the pressure each time which will only take a moment. Also, usually you would inflate a board before you paddle and leave it there to ensure no slow punctures so once you feel it and it feels hard each day it's even better! Great question and if you have any more I'd be happy to help!

@@adventuremarine5108 alright ... so i can deflate it a bit after each use and the other day inflate it a bit back so it goes to around 15 PSI ... is that more ideal?
@adventuremarine51085 ай бұрын
@@christ.1442 Depends on your climate. I live in Ireland and store it in shade and I've never had to deflate it to reduce pressure. Even by checking the pressure some air will release which will be enough. Don't worry about it too much :)

Hi there, thanks for your video. I got one of these recently and i don't think it has the valvue you show in the pic. Can you buy them as an accessory. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I'm in Australia if that helps.

@peterjohnston4472 it's good thanks. It could do with a larger grippy area since its quite slippy to grip when you fall off and try to get back on. Love it though! Looking forward to warmer water so I can go out again.

my master, you left a pump on the beach and you should have rolled it up in a bun and put it in your bag, otherwise you explained everything nicely

Well spotted! It does fit into the bag with everything else. It just wasn't shown in the video. Thanks for your feedback!
