I bought 2 of these for my daughters for our staycation in Scotland. We used them loads. They are easy to assemble and inflate and are very stable. Provided hours of fun in the sea. Easy to deflate and all fits nicely back in the bag. A rucksack type bag would be great so they are easier to carry but that’s about it. We also bought some straps to attach to the paddles, but they do float! For the price paid they are great quality and will hopefully prove to be an excellent purchase!
