I first chose a paddleboard from The Wild Tribe because they are made in Canada—and I’m so glad I did! I loved my board so much that we ordered two more for my husband and son. Now our whole family can get out on the lakes and rivers together, enjoying the water and making wonderful memories. We absolutely love our boards and would highly recommend The Wild Tribe!
Received my Naïa 11 3 days after placing the order at the end of July. I've been out a few times already and it's already been a great experience. Installing the fins gets a bit of getting used to with the tiny parts. Great experience so far!
First of all the board is absolutely beautiful! You may think its just another board till you hit some choppy water or a boats wake, that's when you truly see the MAJOR difference. I am truly impressed with it, i have had it less than a week and have had it out 3 times with absolutely no negative thoughts about it.
The paddle board and accessories are awesome!! We are one block from the Ocean and I am thrilled with the quality and performance of the SUP.
Je suis très contente de ma planche. Ce que je déplore, c’est le peu de disponibilité des accessoires, que j’ai reçu au compte goutte.
I ordered replacements for the 3 different fins. The only fin screws that arrived were for center fin. In the product description picture it shows both center and side fin replacements. I only received center fin replacements
Hello Peter !
You ordered the US Fin System option Screws that works for the center fin of the inflatable paddleboard which was shipped.
To order side fin screws, you need to select the product option Screw-In System like the screws used for the side fins.
Thank you :)
Both the dry bag and cooler were a great addition to my board. I love the backpack straps on the dry bag for easy carrying, unfortunately the first dry bag leaked but the Wild Tribe send me new one to replace it. The only problem I have with the wild tribe as a whole is not the products, but the company, they did rectify the leaky bag it was the communication, or lack there of when ordering product. It takes forever for shipping, and when they don't have a product in the warehouse they contact the buyer to inform them of this, therefore I waited for 4 months for part of my order, it came in pieces first part took over 2 months with no communication from the company which was very frustrating.
i ordered a few accessories a few weeks ago. all arrived on time and are exactly as expected. very satisfied with the whole process.
We took out new paddleboards to our cabin and didn’t have good internet service so figuring out the way to inflate them would have been easier with a printed copy.
I was skeptical to get an inflatable board due to poor experiences with other brands in the past but my Wild Tribe board has exceeded my expectations! Comes with everything you need to get started, is easy to use and light to transport but sturdy on big water. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend!
Are the 2 small fins supposed to fit in facing forwards? The screw holes make it that there’s only one way for the fins to attach. The large fin points to the tail and the other 2 point towards the front of the board. First time I’ve ever seen that.
Hi Susan, thank you for your feedback. It sounds like you received the wrong fins. We sincerely apologize for this and will ship the correct fins to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!
Je suis très satisfaite de ma nouvelle planche, elle est belle et détaillée! On voit que c'est robuste versus les modèles pas cher sur Amazon. Elle va super bien, est très malléable et super facile pour les debutant. De plus, je n'avais pas reçu les bons ailerons et ils m'en ont envoyé d'autre très rapidement. Bref je suis bien satisfaite de ma super planche!! :)
much better than the ziplock bags i was using. the strap that attaches to the board is essential. provides a great sense of phone safety in any degree of choppy water.
I find it sturdy and vey good quality. The design is really nice also, I got green. At first I was deceived when I saw that the pump only plugs in the car and wasn’t extending that long for when you’re stuck in a parking lot but then it was so efficient so I appreciated it. The aluminum oar is very good quality. I bought the bottle/ phone option withe the waterproof phone case and it’s great. If they come less $$$ I will get a second one for my 12 year old foster child. She loves it . We had bought two on Amazon, but I didn’t like the quality so we returned them and got only one of these and it’s a good decision ✅
Got this for a trip to boundaries waters. Glad I did. Easy to use, comfortable, and all the right features where you need them.
Contacted customer support and they will send seat and paddle that was missing.
It’s still a little early for me to leave a complete review since I’ve only used my paddle board twice.
So far, I’m very happy with the paddle board itself. It feels well built, sturdy, and seems to be of good quality.
However, I do have a few concerns about the accessories. The paddle scratches very easily and doesn’t seem very durable when it comes to wear and tear. The carrying bag is also disappointing. On mine, the wheels are poorly positioned, making it awkward to transport, and the zippers feel quite cheap.
The kayak seat is another weak point. It lacks sturdiness and could definitely be made stronger.
Overall, after only two uses, everything else seems to be working well. My first impression is that the paddle board itself is solid and well made, but some of the included accessories could be improved.
I love my new board! Things I’m a fan of: Canadian made, very well made sturdy board, and great customer service. The things I’m not a fan of are all accessories and I’ve included my suggestions for improvements: 1.paddle ‘clips’ aren’t actually clips but Velcro loops that a paddle can slide out of - suggest creating an actual clip that screws into the left screw spot.
2.cup holder is quite small - water bottle space needs to be bigger as very limited to smaller bottle, and phone space also needs to be bigger so phone in a protective case will fit
3.cooler bag is challenging to carry with board to the water - needs an optional long strap for ease of carrying to the water with the board when filled with heavy food and drinks. Also used it yesterday and it filled with water when the waves came up with high wind. It looks like waterproof zippers so was quite surprised this happened.
4.main fin attachment setup is silly with small separate parts that can so easily get lost - design the main fin like the two smaller ones with attached screws! It’s super finicky to have to line up a separate tiny part and takes too long.
5.kayak paddle is heavier than sup paddle and requires bringing along an entire extra paddle if wanting the option for possible wind etc - design one extra paddle end the same weight and size as the sup paddle so only have to carry one extra piece and easily snap onto the handle end of the sup paddle. A cheap board I bought years ago had this design and it was so great.
