Driftsun Balance

I absolutely love this iSUP! I have been riding a solid board for about 5 years but wanted the freedom that an inflatable offers. I tried another brand iSUP and found it to be very unstable , I returned that one and bought my Driftsun Balance 11. The quality and attention to detail is superb. The carrying bag and overall design for transporting my board is absolutely remarkable. Attention to details such as protective inflatable covers for the fins , extra easy snap wide strap to hold the rolled up board together while placing it in the generously sized bag. The bag also comes with multiple handles to make lifting easier. I also like the paddle and it does float. I purchased a pump to hook up to my car charger as I have a back issue and didn't even want to try pumping the air by hand. It inflates with my electric pump in 10 minutes. Great time to do some warm up stretches before riding. The entire board, bag and paddle fit snug as a bug in my VW Beetle trunk. For maximum stability I fill the board to 14.65 psi, the maximum psi for this board is 15. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase!

I’ve wanted a Stand up paddle board for a long time but could not decide between an inflatable and a solid board. Realizing the challenges of carrying and transporting the boards, I opted to try inflatable. I had used inflatable paddle boards that belonged to a friend and really liked it but it didn’t seem very stable, especially for use with my little kiddos on board. So I measured my favorite solid board that belonged to a rental company and searched for comparable dimensions. This was a great find in the length and width. I was nervous but have LoVeD the board from its maiden voyage. I’ll warn you, pumping it up is half the workout, and always remember to close the two-way setting on the valve before you inflate, or you’ll regret it. Options for an electric pump are many, but I don’t mind it. It is not an incredibly fast board, but I love the stability, and the feel of the deck. Overall, a really great product, my family used it for a reunion and now everyone owns one.

Super stable. Perfect for me and my dog! The extra padding that runs almost the whole length of the board is perfect for dog claws. Seller also is great. I messaged seller that I needed mailed out ASAP for a road trip to the mountains I needed paddle board for, and they got it out super quick and it got mailed to me earlier than expected.

Did my research and read all the reviews and decided this was a good deal with a good reputation. Sadly I was mistaken. After being pumped full of air the valve did not stay sealed and the air slowly leaked. I could hear the leak and was only able to get about 15 minutes of paddling in before it was too deflated. I am returning and purchasing from a different company. Also, the clasps on the paddle that allow you to make it longer or shorter are very flimsy and won’t be able to handle much abuse. The hose on the hair pump doesn’t fully seal either and so not as much air is pumping into the paddle board as could be. These things didn’t ruin the experience but just a warning if you are shopping for high quality. This is not it.

This arrived with everything needed for a day of SUPing: board, paddle, pump, tether, and repair kit. The quality is great and I am VERY happy with the extra large standing area. The foam grip pad covers a majority of the surface area, which is precisely what I was looking for (will be using this with my two large dogs). The weight limit is high, which is another added bonus. I left it inflated for a week, and did notice that it lost some air. However, I'm not sure if the valve was completely shut. I will try to post another review after using it over the summer months.

I am super super happy with my Driftsun SUP. We bought a large board because we wanted a board two adults or one heavier adult could use without going over the weight recommendations which are usually about 200 to 300 lbs.We've been using this board 3 or 4 times a week since we bought it (a month ago) and it has been worth every single penny. Hours of exercise and entertainment. We transport it safely on our roof rack.The one improvement I would like is to have a floating paddle because sadly as our teens were out on the lake having a whale of a time one of them let go of the paddle assuming it would float. It didn't. It sunk like a stone and was lost. They had to swim the board back in.

Easily inflated and ready for the water and also easy to deflate. It's also very lightweight and the handle makes it very easy to carry. The bag it comes in has wheels for convenience in miving as well as a backpack type carry strap. I had her in the water within 15 minutes oof opening the package for the first time. My sister has a fiberglass board and says mine is just as stable as hers and mine fits in the back if my midsize suv.
