I placed my order for the Sequoia paddle board in Aug and it finally arrived the first week of October. I was a little disappointed in how long it took to arrive. But, and here’s the big question, was it worth the wait? Hell yeah! What a sweet ride! Quality construction, easy to set up, the paddles are primo, and the duffle is hardcore. I’m a kayaker not a SUP person. In fact I’ve never been on a SUP before this. I kid you not. I wanted a watercraft that was easy and quick to get out on the water in a moments notice. Something that didn’t require a second person and a ladder to help me get it on and off the roof of my converted cargo van for totally independent paddling freedom. And being a complete newb, something that offered stability and versatility. It was so easy to inflate, carry to the water, and get on for my first ever ride. The day was cold, grey, misty with strong winds and small waves, not the placid hot day I’d envisioned for my maiden voyage. All went well, kneeling to standing, and I never fell in once or got soaked. A good thing because the lakes in Northern Ontario and Manitoba are a bit chilly this time of year. I can’t wait until next summer to take her out again and again. I rated 4 stars because of delivery time, and I wanted to get more paddling in before the snow flies. Peace.
