If I could give 10 stars for this board, I would. After a summer of researching iSUPs (online, renting and borrowing boards) I found the Atoll and am SO happy I did! It's a high quality, well made board, from a company that 100% stands beside (and on) their product. Things I LOVE about my Atoll: it's super light! All my friends have boards that are at least 10 lbs heavier and are amazed at how light this one is compared to theirs. It's easy to lift and carry, easy to inflate at home and transport on on my roof rack, and easy for my short arms to carry. The Atoll is also a super stable board that I can ride easily with my 85 lb dog. There is enough room at the front or back of my board that she can move about and find a comfortable spot. The weight capacity is great enough with the Atoll that if my other 80 lb dog ever feels like not swimming, he can get on, too. To feel so stable on a board that is only 32 inches wide with my dog is amazing. What's even more amazing, is this is a dog who does not like slippery, unstable, unpredictable surfaces, and she feels comfortable stepping onto the Atoll. I also love the shape of the nose, it cuts through water easily without excessive drag moves quickly through the water while tracking in a straight path. It turns on a dime and it easy to manuever, and is still super stable. I saw a previous review which said the white parts of this board get dirty easily. I wash mine after every use, and even with the thick Colorado clay/mud that is hard to avoid when at the reservoir, it cleans up beautifully. I am confident that this is a board that will bring me (and my dogs) years of joy. My only regret is not getting this board sooner. (oh, PS: I called the company's number on the postcard that came in the packaging hoping to leave a message, and an actual person answered from a location only an hour away from me! Wow, no robot or voicemail? This is a company I am happy to support, and Atoll is clearly a company that is proud of their product.
