I teach sup YOGA - have always used solid (gigantic GLIDE) board…i have a slight shoulder injury so need to take it easy on the transfer and carrying thing...…and wanted some boards to take to the mountains, anywho. just inflated one of the two and will be out teaching tomorrow…very excited -
I would give 5 stars but the big fin is so difficult to attach. The little screw is so easy to drop and lose. Lining up the bottom metal plate is annoying. I have seen a lot of boards with simple fin attachments, I don’t understand why this manufactured.
Also, my manual pump fell apart when trying to inflate.
Board itself is nice and tracks well.
Hi Chelsea, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoy the board's performance. I see that our team already arranged to ship replacement pump for the broken one you received.
For the center fin, we are using the Universal fin system in the world which allows a better center fin. We can access longer fins which improve the tracking of the board. It allow also to use different type of fins more easily and buy fins anywhere in the world. All big board sport manufacturer use those Universal System (US) fins due to it's many advantages :)
Very happy with my SUPs which we used extensively at Bruce Peninsula National Park this past week. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the difficulty on inflating the boards to 20 PSI. I’m a pretty athletic guy and once I got to 17-18 psi I was done. My wife nor my 2 older daughters had no hope in coming anywhere close to that.
I love the Colombia 11' BOARD. Easy to paddle , firm and holds the line very well, light to carry to the water and all around a great board. Happy I came across the Wild Tribe. No regrets buying it at all, have even passed the company name onto others. Thank you very much!
I was very pleasantly surprised by my new Colombia 11' paddleboard. It felt great on the water, solid and steers well. I have an electric pump and that makes my life even better. I have zero regrets buy this board and have actually recommended it to others. Service was great and it was a fast and easy purchase with no hassels. Thank you very much
My wife and I are very happy with the purchase of out 2 paddle boards. We are enjoying the Nova Scotia coastline.
I'm am thoroughly impressed with this board. Super light, super wide, super stable and moves quickly through the water. Had a blast exploring some smaller lakes checking out new campsites. Very happy with this purchase.
This was a great purchase. It was shipped quickly and it performs as advertised. The quality is above average and the price was right. I am 71 years old and I had no trouble standing and maintaining my balance on this board. It tracks and glides very nicely. Thanks to my Canadian friends in Quebec!
We bought the nomad XL as new to paddle boarding and wanted something to bring our son on rides. Amazing product. Have used inflatable paddle boards in the past - but this one was by far the best. While the Waka Nomad is advertised for stability and less for speed, the board cuts through the water great. We live near Lake Ontario and the board is easy to move through the water and tracks great!
I purchased two of the Tahoe 11's with the Kayak kit. Overall everything is great. However the Kayak paddle on one of them snapped on our very first outing. Everything appeared to be properly assembled so I imagine it was a defect. Otherwise very happy with the purchase.
Loving the Oak paddleboard. Easy to use, well constructed and beautiful to look at. Love the accessories you can add to it also. Kayak seat and paddle work great. Only negative is it would be nice if the seat was thicker so you are elevated a bit for comfort.
J' ai essayé la planche avec le kit kayak sur la rivière l' Acadie près de Carignan. Tout a bien été, le matériel était fonctionnel et efficace Le pompage manuel a bien été aussi. C' était à la fois ma première expérience en rivière et la planche est bien stable. Autres expériences à venir!
At 76 years young I needed a stable board I could easily carry to the ocean beach a short path from my house. My kayak is too heavy now for me to heft alone. I usually stand on my paddle board but appreciate the detachable kayak seat and will be glad of it when it’s too wavy to “Sup”. Thanks Wild Tribe
Love the board but I bought it because you sold me on 4.7 inches and the board on your advertisement was six inch’s so I was a little disappointed but overall great experience
Excellent service. I ordered a replacement paddle part. Since the paddles have changed, I was sent a complete paddle. It arrived fast and efficiently. Very happy with the replacement.
Had my 33kg lab on the board with me today and even when he stood and readjusted, I stayed standing. Easy to setup, easy to use, very stable.
It has been a task to get to this point and while we are a little disappointed to have been included in one offer to get the "free" kayak kit when we would have much rather been in the "free" electric pump offer but for a couple of weeks. Especially after having to pump up one of these manually. This is a lot more than we anticipated, but we are old so it is what it is. Just hate to get so winded before we would even hit the water. We will order an electric pump off Amazon.
But that being said we are very impressed with the first one we pumped up, the Naia. Or I should say we were until we attempted to install the fins. I'm so glad we were only trying this out at home and not that the launch point as the fins that shipped were not the correct ones for this particular model and can only be attached backwards - they curve towards the front!
But Olivia in customer service was awesome and already has the correct fins for this model enroute to us with an anticipated delivery by EOW. Depending on the weather, we will finally be hitting the water.
So far though we are very impressed with your boards compared to our daughter's Costco inflatable version, and pretty sure this will be on par with our hard boards we have been using before they got too heavy to lift on top of the car.
Thank you for a very well thought out product design. In spite of the bumps so far, we are still very impressed. Depending on how they perform once we are actually on the water, I'll come back and amend the number of stars.
