“I LOVE THIS BOARD! I did a LOT of research before I bought this board and after talking to the amazing customer service, I decided to give it a try. I am a beginner paddle boarder and when I got this board, I absolutely loved it. I did buy an electric pump for ease of blowing it up. I have been on about 6 paddles so far and many many more to come! I highly recommend this board and you cannot go wrong with the expertise of the customer service reps! I get soooo many compliments and people cannot believe it is an inflatable and everyone wants to try it out! Thank you Bay Sports!”
“My husband and I invested in two iSUP's for our young family of two. We decided on the 'Mandala' and the 11'6" 'Wood' iSUP and both have been brilliant, though I still slightly prefer mine!!! Below are my observations after testing them out on a variety of waterways (Narrabeen Lake; Basin; Manly):
CONSTRUCT
I am not tall and I can easily carry the 'Mandala' with the help of the provided shoulder strap. New to inflatable SUP's, I was concerned about how safe and sturdy the board was. I am pleased to report that the materials have a quality feel to them and didn't show any signs of wear or tear after incidental bumps. My 5 yr old son feels confident and safe on board with the wider yoga base helping my balance. Finally, the looks of the board certainly attracts attention. Be prepared to answer questions, even in the water, from the good-natured and curious passersby.
PERFORMANCE
I decided on this board for it's balance. Speed wasn't really a priority. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could hold my own against the more stream lined 11'6" Original Wood iSUP and even on the longer paddles. The adjustable paddle felt good in hand. Surfing small, small waves was exciting. Trials still pending on bigger ones....
SERVICE
The team at Bay Sports were extremely pro-active. They have us all sorts of good advice above and beyond the usual sales spin. It was a good experience from order to after sale care. Thanks to the team!!
Overall, a strong recommendation to any water enthusiastic who wants it all - Premiumness, Portability, Performance, Stability and Looks.”
“I just took my new yoga SUP out & loved it!! My dog was quite happy to fall asleep on the front so I didn’t get much yoga done this time but hoping to next weekend. It pumps up in no time at all & It’s lightweight so I had no problems in getting it on top of my 4wd’s roof racks. It has really good stability for someone who is new to SUPs. Hamish is also great, always answering my questions immediately. I love my new SUP & will highly recommend Bay Sports SUPS to everyone.
Very Happy thanks Hamish!

“Thanks Hamish and the Team at Bay Sports
Great service and assistance in the ordering process and quick delivery with tracking.
The MANDALA - INFLATABLE board is great, my wife loves it. Its quick to inflate, stable and with the soft deck all the way to the tip our dog has somewhere to sit and doesn't slide off”
“Lots of good things to say about this board but mainly it is as stable as the description says. I don’t have the greatest balance so having a board with extra stability makes me feel more confident to all. do the positions.
I use it in a group fitness class and I think you’ll be getting a lot more orders from the other ladies! Love the shoulder carry strap too.
Thaanks and highly recommend Bay Sports.”
