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

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 with 5) 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 had high hope for the Bluefin Sprint 14 as it is the only 14 feet board that is under 800 dollars. Now I know why it is cheaper than its competitors. The board is really heavy. Whatever drop stitch technique they use, it's definitely not the best as it weighs more than it should. I had the board for about half a year, and the rubber mat already pealing at several spots. Worse of all, there are leaks around the valve. I have cheaper boards that don't have any of these problems. I should have paid a few hundred more and get a board that has much better build quality. So disappointed!

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!

Love this paddle board. I am 5’1” and weigh about 100 lbs., but got the 14’ length for speed and it performs great! It also came with some really nice extras, like the waterproof bag for your phone. I’ve owned five Tower boards and thought I’d give this one a try. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s my sixth board and I highly recommend it.

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.

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. ;)

I've had a number of inflatable paddle boards over the years. And I believe I have finally found the one I'm keeping. Quick to inflate (It is a workout for some), stable in the water and doesn't get blown around in the wind too much.
