Board is great, ideal for getting kids on (I have the 10'8"). Weight is ok and materials seem of good quality. Bag is of good size, easy to pack the board up, and good quality too. It is hard work to get the board up to a high pressure (>18psi), so most times you end up only inflating it to a pressure comparable with cheaper boards. To deflate the board, the silent air remover should be a standard item with the board. I was getting a lot of unwanted attention at public parks or even beach when deflating the board, but the $60 silent air remover solved this problem. Just like the board comes with high quality bag, paddle and pump, this should be a standard for red paddle co boards package.
