“Sorry, before someone asks... View of Mt Rainier from Lake Sammamish, WA. Hydrus adventures on my Paradise X![Paradise X](https://www.hydrusboardtech.com/products/touring-inflatable-paddleboard-paradise?sca_ref=6273219.bIcV8RrqiU) ..”

Top Criticism

“I have a board with similar dimensions that I inflate to 14 because I am worried about destroying it due to heat. It’s probably a needless precaution because I never leave it out. It is pretty stable for me 6’5” 225#. I also have a paradise X that I have had for a few weeks and boy is that an adjustment. It is 28” wide and I regularly feel unstable. I thought I had good balance for a middle aged man but there is always room for improvement.”
