Best praise vs top criticism for ISLE Switch
“I’ve never paddled on that specific board but I have had the chance to use several inflatables at this point. They are not all equal. I am about your weight and paid close attention to the max weight capacity of boards when I was shopping. A quick google search shows the weight limit of that board is 264 pounds, so that may be the reason you are feeling more flex on the board. If I were you, I’d return it and shop around for a different inflatable. I ended up with the Isle Switch and love it.”
“Inflatable 5’5” 130lbs (will have my toddler join me 31lbs 3’2” and my husband sometimes 6’5” 250lbs) Cruising & fitness and sometimes yoga when on it alone. Ocean, lakes, rivers Beginner/intermediate $1000 based in CA Always rented a board or used a longboard to paddle on. Looking for some grip on the top for my toddler and husband. Considering the blackfin XL or isle switch 3. Curious if I’d hate using it when I’m alone since they are big boards.”
