I am a beginner SUPer and this is my first board purchase.
The online shopping experience was easy and I received my package in a week.
I took it out to Lake Austin for the first time last weekend. I filled it up to 18psi. The board is very stable and tracked well.
The paddle took a little getting used to, and the little clamp came loose as I was paddling.
Overall. this is a good board that I'll use for a long time.
I have five inflatables. Two Blackfins, two Towers, and I-Rocker and then the Athabasca from Wild Tribe. The advertising portrayed it as being as stiff as a hardboard. I wouldn’t say it’s any stiffer than any of my other inflatable boards, but it does achieve that stiffness with an inch and a half less thickness, which in a crosswind I think would be somewhat noticeable. It remains to be seen about the welded seams and if that’s a better method. It paddles fairly smooth and glides well. I do like the quality of the included paddle compared to the quality of the paddle that came with my other boards. I find every three-piece paddle to be two flexy at the last joint where the blade attaches. I always wrap that tightly with electrical tape which eliminates the wiggle but effectively makes it a two peace paddle unless you want to unwrap it and re-tape it every time you use it. The only negative I have and this is a personal thing, I feel like the shape, thinness, and coloration with the fake wood trim make it look too much like the Costco boards from Body Glove! This was given to me as a gift and it was purchased at the special deal price. Had I purchased it at the full price, I might not have been as pleased. But for the sale price, it is a very capable board.
Je me sens la queen des paddles !! haha Solide, pratique et stable ! Je suis très excitée de la saison en cours .J;adore les accesoires que je me suis procurer avec ! Une nouvelle passion
Merci Wild Tribe
I LOVE my new paddle board! It’s so light, stays straight in the water, very easy to maneuver, steady, and so many places for gear! 10/10 recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I sold a rigid board to buy this, and I’m thrilled. Truthfully, this board doesn’t paddle like a hard board. HOWEVER, that’s not always a drawback. This board is far more forgiving to balance on, and paddle. Combining that with the portability of an inflatable, and the value of this package, you cannot miss with your purchase. The board paddles easily, and tracks really well. I also purchased the electric pump, and I’m just as pleased with that. Higher pressure inflatables are the way to go. The design and branding look great, too. I had high expectations, and this entire package has met them. You can’t say that about too many things in life, anymore. Well Done.
Love this board. The quality, attention to detail and all of the components are well made and exactly as described. Paddle on!
I have had four paddle boards now and I can say I am pleased and satisfied with both new wild tribe purchases.
My Naish hard board will always be my favourite but the Columbia did not disappoint today. My group all tried and compared to the twin fish and red paddle they were on par for performance.
Avec le logo the wild tribe en plus c'est parfait avec ma peyto 10 ! Elle est coussinée et ajustable en longueur
La corde ne prends pas trop d'espace et la lampe de poche est belle mais l'éclairage est un peu faible mais ça fait la job pour être légal. Pour le prix c'est un bon achat
It’s stable, great for travel, pet-friendly, and the absolute best paddle board to have.
Kudos to Wild Tribe for their quick delivery! We were travelling and needed to pick up the boards on our route in a short time frame. It arrived exactly on time. They shipped the same day that I ordered. I also had many questions for them and they answered quickly through their chat box on the website. We ordered two Columbia's. I'm 5 ft, 110 lbs and my husband is 6 ft 175 lbs. We are both so happy with the boards. We are first time SUP'ers but have whitewater kayaking experience so we didn't want something that we would outgrow quickly. I think these boards will be perfect for the lakes and rivers that we plan to use them. We are very happy with the boards and the exceptional customer service.
My shopping experience was perfect! Such a pleasure after so many other encounters aren’t great at all lately. This is a high quality, customer-service oriented company. There was one small hiccup and they did more to help than I expected. Great paddle board and I know I’ll enjoy it for many years to come. 10 stars in my book. Thanks Wild Tribe!
Really impressed with the quality and rigidity for an inflatable. My daughter and I really enjoyed tackling waves on Lake Erie sitting together. When the water was quiet she was great at showing off her standing, yoga and dance moves too. Only minor problem was missing lid for the repair kit glue. Otherwise very pleased and will likely buy a bigger board for me next.
I ordered the iSup 12’2” Touring online. Received order at my door step several days later. I was really impressed with the shipping time. As it was shipped from Quebec and I live in Abbottsford BC. Came with everything as I ordered. Super pleased and ready to hit the water!
My wife and I ordered a pair of Columbia 11 SUPs and couldn't be happier. They arrived in 11 days and we were very pleasantly surprised with the build quality of the boards as well as all of the accessories. The package is very well thought out, including everything someone new to the sport needs to get on the water. A final shout out to the Customer Service we received when the Carrier only dropped off one box instead of two, even though they had both on the truck. Wild Tribe's reply to my email was under 1 hour and they were very helpful. Merci!!
J’ai hésité entre plusieurs marques avant d’acheter une Wild Tribe et je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat. Excellent produit !
I unfortunately thought the board would come with an automatic pump. Based on this and mainly for deflating reasons I haven’t tried the board yet. Looking for an automatic pump first.
After several delays with the courier service, my board was finally delivered in a broken box, but I'm happy to say the board was fine despite the rough handling. I've been out on it twice, and it's easy to handle and feels very stable. I have an electric pump that inflates and deflates the board without much effort on my part, which makes the outing more enjoyable. I'm very pleased that everything I needed to get out on the water was included (paddle, fins, ankle leash, and more). Also, the included backpack storage bag with wheels seems very durable and definitely makes it easier to transport the board. However, as a petite person, I find the hip belt doesn't go small enough, along with the lack of a chest strap means my shoulders are carrying all the weight, making it hard on the body (minus a star for this). I was pleasantly surprised at how light and easy it is to carry once inflated. Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality, and I would recommend this board to others.
This paddle board is amazing really hard for inflatable one. Construction is super well made.
