The pump is pretty noisy, but it works for the most part. You may find that getting a replacement pump is a good idea, though, to ensure that you get the most out of it.

You’ll find several reviews from people that have purchased the Goplus 11’ Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board all over Amazon. Here are a few just to give you an idea of what you can expect to see.

Danylle left this review about the board, “I purchased 2 of these. We absolutely love them. They are very durable so far, easy to inflate and assemble, and the paddle doesn’t slip sizes like the reviews on the paddles from other models. We’ve used them a couple of times locally and then took them to Lake Powell with us also. We left them inflated the whole week and had no problems. They work like a charm!”

Another reviewer, Kawika, left a more recent r​​eview May 2018 that states, “The iSUP itself seems very well built and it floated my girlfriend and I no problem and I’m 6’2 and she5’0 and together we’re around 330 pounds and it floated us easily. It’s my first time with someone else on a board so I knelt down only and found it a lot easier that the person paddling stays in the front so you’re not having to dodge them as you switch sides when you are paddling.” He goes on to say that the bag can hold everything that comes with the board, too.

Simple71 had plenty of positive things to say, too, and left the following. “I purchased this model as well as it’s (sic) 10’ little sister about 6 months ago. Both are fantastic. I’ve used them about half a dozen times on local lakes and have traveled with them in my 4Runner. Highly recommended! Both pumps work fine, paddles aren’t as nice as my Werner kayak paddles but one gets what one pays for and these are fine. The handles on the paddle are backwards and I’m planning on drilling out the rivet and reversing them but as I don’t really notice them during use, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I did replace the draw string in the duffle that everything is carried in as the original was useless but it only took a few minutes with accessory cord that I had so no worries. They are really my first exposure to sups (or isups) other than a few minutes several years ago on a rigid one. It took a few tries to gain confidence and feel more natural and less tense.” He is 6’3” and 250 pounds and further recommended to purchase an electric pump, too.

There aren’t many complaints, but the ones that seem to show up involve the pump and the paddle. This one from K. Noyce, says, “This is a good quality SUP for a great price, however, I was lucky that I purchased two different SUPs because the pump that came with this one doesn’t work. The hose that screws onto the pump doesn’t actually seal, so it just won’t do anything as the air just escapes from the non-sealed hose. If you are looking for a good SUP for a great price, this is it, just realize that you may have to get a higher quality pump for it.” On the bright side, reviewers also say that they are able to get the pump replaced, or they go ahead and purchase a new one.

Something worth noting about the paddle is that it doesn’t float, as one unfortunate reviewer discovered. “Halfway through our day on the water, the kids tipped it and the paddle sunk immediately. They had no chance grabbing. That’s super disappointing considering a replacemt (sic) will be at least $40 bucks. So good and bad buy – buy another pump and paddle to be safe.”

Picking the best board when you’re in the market for a new one is not a matter to be taken lightly, especially since they’re not especially cheap. It’s a good idea to read plenty of reviews to get to know what’s out there.

Do your homework and compare what you find, so you don’t make a wrong decision in the process. With all of the information out online, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the variety of boards you have to choose from.

The Goplus 11’ Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board is a good choice for the price, but be aware you’re probably going to need to replace the pump and possibly the paddle. You may need to decide whether or not those extra costs are worth the total expense you’ll end up looking at, but you can rest assured that the board on its own is a great choice at a reasonable price, too.
