I wish I could 4.5 stars. I got this after my inflatable blew on me. I like the storing and travel options and it won't leave me stranded in a river. It's wide so very stable, but a little difficult to carry when it's put together. It's much easier to take two trips, carrying the front and back and then middle. I've seen a product that's a belt with a hook on it and you hook the board in and carry the weight on your waist like a hiking pack. I'm hesitant to get the belt, I'm only 5 ft and the board is very wide and heavier than the belt recommendations. It being on the heavier side brings me to why I didn't want to give 5 stars. The fin is on the thin side and if you have the fin extended and right side up with the board put together it bends. I'm used to loading up my board and then dropping it in the water or when I'm done dragging it on the bank with my gear on it. If I do that I'm afraid the fin will snap. But the fin does fold into the board for storage so there's that. I also received it very quickly. I received my order with in two weeks.
