Bluefin SUPStand Up Inflatable Paddle Board | 14' Sprint Model | Touring/Race Model | Complete with All Accessories

The media could not be loaded. Had no idea paddling would turn into a passion. After a year, and many, many hours on the lake or creek, needed something more efficient. Glides and handles well in moderate winds. The board is fantastic and the paddle is light and effective, however I always take a double bladed paddle when the conditions call for it. I've only used the hand pump once- more than ideal. The best option is the electric pump. Dig the longer, narrower board, which sets itself apart from the all-around board. Switching to this board was worth the cost, and didn't take more than one outing to feel confident on the sleeker design. The board folds and stores so easily in its carry bag, you will not be cursing trying to jam it in the bag. Of all my boards, this is superior.

The bottom line: it is a great product. Very good experience. in more details:1) It is pretty heavy to carry. Mind the distance you need to carry it to. You can also use a carrying strap.2) It is a large volume SUP. Manually inflating it will take time and will make you tired. I'd buy immediately an electric pump (for the car, or with batteries, if the car is away from the water)3) The paddle itself is made of aluminum, For easier paddling, I'd buy a lightweight carbon paddle (<600 gr)4) It has a great carrying bag with two shoulder straps. great to carry with5) The 3 fins are all removable. The mechanism that locks them in seems to be a little less durable. There is a spare lock clip provided.Overall, once you are on the water, you enjoy every moment. It is not a paddle board for first few lessons, but after 7-10 when you acquire the basic stability, you enjoy a long, fast, stable paddle board.

I bought this based on great reviews by others who have multiple boards so I’m paying it forward by doing the same.I have 4 boards now and have owned 8. My hard board used to be my favorite but this one has usurped that position because of its glide. Maybe it’s just the length that makes it feel so smooth on the water, but it slides like butter. Some mentioned that it doesn’t turn as efficiently as a shorter board but I haven’t found the need to turn on a dime so that’s irrelevant to me. I find it to be plenty maneuverable and any issues are certainly outweighed by the unmatched tracking. I concur with others who mentioned that you can paddle meant strokes on either side before it goes off course, so it’s great for just mindlessly paddling and enjoying the scenery. I thought it might be a little difficult to balance since it’s long and relatively thin but if this isn’t your first board or your first time paddling, there’s no issue. Great product for the investment!

I purchased the 12’ Bluefin inflatable paddle board/kayak conversion. I owned it for less than one year, only used 6-10 times (due to an injury). The paddle snapped and broke with normal use. The paddle is stated to be under warranty for a full year. Bluefin refused to replace the paddle stating anything after 6 months would not be considered wear and tear, even though the warranty states ONE YEAR. They DO NOT stand behind their product!!! I recommend buying a more economical SUP with D rings and buying a kayak seat/convertible paddle yourself. WAY MORE economical and probably WAY more reliable. VERY DISAPPOINTED in this company and the LIES of warranty. The fin attachment also seems very finicky and fragile, although so far it has stood up.

This is my third inflatable paddleboard. I love this board. It is so stable without the water drag that wider boards can have. I can relax when using this board. It flows with boat wakes and does not tip up when a wave hits it from the side. It can be a little bot of work turning the board. It does take 15 minutes for my electric pump to inflate it to 16 psi. I like a softer board to keep my toes awake.

I took it up and down the river, going with and against the tide and even against it, it felt great. It glides over the water when inflated completely and feels like a regular racing board. I dare to say that the only difference between this and a hard racer board is the flotation during the fast strokes of a sprint. The weight of the paddler during the sprint is what makes this board wobble compared to a rigid board side by side. For paddlers that are getting ready to race and join faster paddlers or want to have an easier time when hitting the open water or choppy oceans, the Blue Fin Sprint 14″is a great addition to your stand up paddleboarding quiver.

I’ve had this board for 6 months. It cruises at 4 knots all day long with a normal stroke.I was nervous about an inflatable at first, but cruising through the louisiana swamps and exploring rock jetties, I’ve hit just about everything you can hit and it is tough as all get out.Beware it is a beast to inflate. I bought an electric pump.Be careful with the bag. Test the seams of the backpack straps and handle well. Bluefin will replace it if they tear. But it’s not fun if one tears when you’re trying to hike with it.

In love! Shopped around for about 6months and at this price point you can't beat it.So much different than the $400 and less garbage you see on the lake. Trackes so straight and smooth, and great glide.Easily paddles upwind as long as you are straight into it. Can be a bit uncomfortable to turn for new users, but shouldn't be the sole reason for not purchasing, you will learn to turn quite easily with some video tips, effort, and not worrying about getting wet.I'd say its about 40% harder to inflate than a 10' board. ;)
