6:03 can we just take a minute to apreciate that smooth hopping on board scene?? wow..

We bought a rigid SUP 4-5 years ago and never use it. I think the portability of the inflatables is a huge benefit.

Very cool! Inflatable SUPs seem terrific, just for the lighter weight itself. I don't think I'd ever own one anytime soon, but they make a lot of sense. I do like the idea of being able to keep it in a corner of your garage somewhere out of UV rays. Also great solution for someone who maybe lives in apartment.

I'm on my second season with my inflatable SUP and here is some wisdom: 1. There is zero concern for loss of air pressure once inflated. I go weeks without needing to top off the pressure. (I SUP about 3-4 times per week.) 2. Just because it can deflate, doesn't mean you have to deflate it. If you can rack it, do it. Pumping it up EVERY DANG TIME gets irksome very quickly. Plus, it's better for the vinyl not to be folded/creased. And you can use your pumping energy for paddling instead! 3. Repairs are way easier than with a hard board. 4. Inflatables are not that much more inefficient than hard boards. Almost imperceptible for anyone but hardcore SUPers.

Thanks for clarifying some questions I had about SUP boards!

I was just there this summer and it made me look into one of these. Loved the water and how clear it was.

Recommendation from a certified freediver here. Don’t dive with the snorkel in you’re mouth. If you were to blackout you’re jaw will clamp around the snorkel and water will flow in. But if you don’t have a snorkel in, the water will stay out, giving you more time to be rescued.

Thanks for this review! My husband and I are actually going to buy a couple of inflatable SUPs tonight. We live 1/4 mile from the river and want something easy and convenient to use a couple of hours at a time. We have never been paddle-boarding before, but I am really excited now!!

Trip I had no idea how absolutely ripped you are 🤣

At 02:20 you were right. There is a selector switch on the pumps. I do double stroke pump at start and finish with the single stroke selector option to get the last bit of PSI. That is the way my inflatable board is. Great vid Trip you will love inflatable sups I think. They are SO LIGHTWEIGHT.

As someone with a two-seater coupe and an obsession with not tying stuff to my roof where it and ropes can scuff my paint, inflatable anything is literally the only way I'm going to take a boat with me. I'm in the market for a SUP like that one. LOVE the $90 Amazon inflatable yak but I'd love to, you know... stand up. $600 is steep to me but it did seem very firm. I'd be interested in a long-ish term review video and / or some camping vids with this thing. Keep it up mate.

I have a Jimmy Stix ISUP I bought at Costco in San Diego spring 2017, I love that thing, great quality and easy to use. I went to Tower and picked up a electric pump, just a little quicker but I can get other gear ready while it’s pumping.

I think for the casual paddle boarder (like me) the only downside is getting the board inflated enough! Pump for 5 minutes, check the psi, its only at 13.... pump for 2 more minutes, its only at 14...

Great video! That water is amazing. Can’t believe it is so crystal clear. Definitely enjoying all of the spring fed spots you’ve been filming at recently.

Love the video, convinced me to buy two iSUPs for me and my wife! Nice truck btw!

thanks for the video. You are making me look at touring kayaks and paddleboards too! I really appreciate what you are preaching! If more people got "out there" then we would be a happier world!

Not to get off subject but I had a kiddie inflatable boat , roughly enough size to hold an average weight 4 foot tall kid , that I used to tow a cooler with ice , a backpack , two fishing poles, and a 5 " cast net while wading for roughly a year . Three months during that year it hung in a tree . When I no longer couldn't go fishing for lack of transportation I got rid of that mildew sun faded inflatable boat . It was still inflatable when I got rid of that $12 inflatable boat .

I found a inflatable kayak at a thrift store, it came in a backpack with a paddle, wasn't sure if it would hold up. Now i want to go back and buy it

Well. I’m late to the party but I’m super excited to try out my new inflatable SUP tomorrow morning!

This would fit the bill for me. We have a camper and a canoe, the kicker, no rack on the truck for the canoe. So this would go great in the back of the truck. When boondocking near a lake, it would be handy to carry this down to the water's edge for a little exploring. Thanks for sharing.

Aside from the gear reviews, which have influenced a lot of my gear purchases. I really enjoy watching the locations you go to. I’m centrally located to most of them here in Panama City. Hoping to get at least one overnighter in this summer. Paddle on Trip!

Always enjoyable to watch your channel never disappointed. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

I'm glad u had a hard time pumping it too LOL I'm nowhere as fit as you and struggled a bit haha! Great video :)

I really liked this video. I recently moved from a crowded area of West Coast to more chill area w ponds, lakes, rivers and have felt so active & in element. Kayaks, SUPs, but now u make me want to snorkel too. Very nice vibe to this video. Think this is answer for this upstairs apt dweller w no garage or roof rack. Will subscribe.

Searches paddle boards. Saw abs. Stayed for beautiful springs.

really cool seeing other people enjoy paddleboading like I do!

Love Morrison Springs! I’m only about 45 mins from there.

florida is an awesome place! it's got all kinds of great places to play in! try the Sanibel island area! great place for a paddleboard!

Good to see this. I think I might pick one of these up, looks like a fun change of pace from my kayaks. Might try some fly fishing on it. Thanks for the video!

Looks like pumping air was the most work!Like video

Thanks for this video. I have thought about getting one of these for just day trips but had some concerns. Cleared up a lot of questions I have had.

One of my favorite fishing holes over the years

Hey Trip, thanks for the video. I know I asked you last fall about these and I am glad to see you followed through with a video. I was looking at ISUP to put in the camper so I that I wouldn't have to haul full size kayaks or boards along with the camper. That is just more stuff to load up when it is time to head out. Knowing a guy that uses a regular board likes these makes it a little easier to decide.

Side note about Morrison: I've been to Morrison Springs three times since they redid the boat ramp several years ago, and every time the water hasn't been much too clearer than it is shown here. I wonder if it's all the swimmers (because it's so commercialized now) and boats churning up the water too much? Two of the three times there was visible oil in the water, and I know others have also complained of it. What a terrible idea to the planners who thought adding a boat ramp next door to a fragile ecosystem spring was a good idea.

Nice to see it fit back into the bag once deflated..always a concern with tents, chairs etc...

Awesome, I think I’m sold, great video

Great vid! Thus is one of my favorite places for a short paddle. Reedy Creek comes in across from the boat ramp. Its a nice paddle up the creek if you can get between all the trees before it opens up.

Awesome!!! I need to get the camera set up! I just purchased a sup board so stocked to try it!! Thanks so much for this video it’s going to help me out!!

This is awesome. I just got my first ISUP this week. I have never done it before.. so watching this was good. Looking forward to getting out in the bay and giving it a go now

Since we have a Jeep Wrangler with soft top, I really appreciate the review! We actually stumbled upon these Springs just last year!!

What an amazing place to be able to swim in and be able to see so much under water.

Amazing video, thanks for making it look and feel so peaceful! Tomorrow will be my first trip, I can’t wait

Trip you're getting me pumped for my vacation to Florida!

Great Video! Ive been looking at getting a SUP to take up as a hobby, im from ireland and there are so many lakes and rivers i want to explore but also dont have a lot of space at home so the compact design seems like a great option for me! Thanks for showing what the setup process is like with one, very helpful!

Great video Trip! Those underwater shots looked great. Beautiful.

Thanks for the review of the SUP. I was interested to see how rigid the board is. I am a windsurfer and due to saving space that SUP looks brillant! Have you ever used a Packraft kayak? Sally in Wales...UK

I tried one of these inflatable boards on my holiday I Sweden, it was very fun

OK ... I just got a Sea Eagle FS 126 (12 ft 6 in long) board made for fishing 500 lbs complicity. I got it pumped to 7 PSI and was very stiff. This Sea Eagle FS 126 also needs 12-15 psi. You don't want to over pump these things or they may blow up, plus threw out the day if it gets hotter then air inside gets hot and the pressure will go up. So you may want to pump it to 13 or 14 psi only depending on the time of the day and how long you'll be on the water. Anyway, I'm pumping and pumping for about 10 min it gets very stiff and there no pressure registering. So I disconnect from the board, take off the hose (pump similar to yours) and put my thumb on the hole and push down on the plunger to see if I can get the needle on the gauge to move. After a few tries I finally get the needle to move. I connect it to the boat and its now registering about 4 psi. I pump some more, another 2 -3 min or so to 7-8 psi, so I'm thinking I got a bad gauge and I don't want to over pump it. After watching you now I'm thinking there nothing wrong, but do I want to risk a $1000 investment? NO way! I think I will go get another separate $9 gauge and if nothing wrong with the gauge means more pumping. I also ordered an electric pump, I can set the psi and it shuts off when completed. All that pumping wore me out and I'm 63 years old and it looked it did you in at the end there, but being much younger you recovered much faster ...

Remember air will expand as it gets hot. Being in Florida sun it will expand a couple extra pounds.

Probably you do know by know that you can use your pump for deflating board. Much easier for packing in backpack.

Pretty cool. Looks like it worked way better than I was picturing! Nice video!

I have seaeagle inflatable kayak. You would like that. Very fast kayak. It goes very easy against stream. (Rocky creek, Turkey creek, Boiling creek, Econfina....) a lot of cool stuff around here 👍

Thanks Trip for your fantastic journeys- the underwater vision is really interesting to another olde diver - best wishes from peter allen VK4LLE and VK4HOY Australia 73s

Really good video . Do you worry about gators 🐊 when your diving ? That SUP is really nice 👍🏻

How did you leave the board when you went snorkeling? Did u tie it up? Thx! Lol! I guess I'm so used to a current that losing the board was my first thought!

I love going to Morrison springs

Please keep on making your videos I love them and now I can't make it out there because I had surgery on my arm so I'm stuck at home but enjoying your videos thank you for sharing

What a energy ❤ Loved so much.

Always enjoyable watching someone who is absolutely ripped, Get absolutely wrecked pumping their board. Wondering about the strange heat lines? waves? in the video?

i've been thinking about one of those inflatable sups .. thanks for the vis.. you need to put vance or one of the other guys on it on your next river adventure

A basic air-mattress pump works great. You will want to keep the hand pump to top it off though.

omg. What a beautiful place. You are so blessed.

Thanks for being honest about how these boards inflate. Now I know I will buy an electric pump when I buy a SUP.

realy enjoyed this video thanks bro

apply liquid soap or shampoo to inner goggle lens and gently rinse out to prevent fogging (use baby shampoo if u have sensitive eyes). unfortunately u have to repeat each trip but it is easy to do...just carry a small bottle of the liquid in the bag holding your goggles. most all goggles eventually start fogging up after the factory coating wears away

I did the same thing when I bought mine. Inflated on the single action pump 💪

you should try an e-bike. All things I am skeptical now loving them .

Bought myself the blackfin xl model and it is awesome and a half, got it during a black Friday sale and it came with everything

Looks like a fun lil trip. From the Facebook post, I was expecting something comical. Hahaha

The SUP looks amazing. Any upcoming trips soon where we can see it get some real use? :)

Wow crazy to think you made Morrison Springs famous😂...I work there in Ponce and love it there! It’s a hidden gem bc the town is so small. I just hate how cold that water is!

This dude is ripped dang

Another awesome video brotha!! Your editing and cinematography is superb that diving sequence was UNREAL!!(= I just bought a couple packrafts cause they're way cheaper than SUP boards but that's what I really want hopefully soon I'll get a good quality board, stay safe&happy😁✊🔥

It was good to meet you last weekend. I was doing a Coldwater excursion trip to a spring and you were there with your family. Too bad I don’t make it in a video haha. Next time you’re in Arkansas (if ever) you should do a float trip on the buffalo river in northeast Arkansas.

great, I hope you upload more videos with the paddle board, a greeting from Spain

Nice video trip. If you can't do a overnight we still love any content you can put out. GET OUT THERE!

here for the bod

Ever find out what that red thing attached to the pump does ?

2:12 it looks the "late to work" video 😂

When you dive when using your snorkel how do you avoid water going into your mouth? Is it the snorkel? Im just getting into the hobby

omg im so happy beacuase i will get my own Sup board TODAY!!!

I am impressed with your SUP but I am impressed more with your 1 life advice. Yes, we must go out... if no SUP, spend time in nature, catch animals, insects... like frogs, snakes, rats... etc. have fun! lol

I used mine yesterday for first time but only had 5 psi, no wonder I couldn't stay on the thing

awesome !!! I was looking for inflatable paddleboard these days.. where i live in is james river pretty much rocky river in VA.!

Hey Trip, checking in after not watching your vids for a while (more concerned with winter sports in winter). Love the editing and overall quality of your vids, especially the voiceovers.

I got my ``Certification`` There too ,,, and offshore in Destin Memorial day weekend 1983. The cave is Spooky. Crazy cool Video as Always. Thanks Trip !!! ***cheers*** =)

Lost a go pro in this spring beneath a rope swing a couple river bends from the boat launch. It’s the priceless footage I lost that hurts the most

Yoo man the video is fire and stuff but did anyone ever tell you, youlook like "healthy steve-o" ?!?! 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣

Nice info on the inflatable,,

Hi, Trip 👍🏻👊🏻 I have always wondered about inflatable SUP,s if they really perform and hold air if your going to be on a long day or overnight camp adventure. I enjoyed watching your video taking a little short paddle adventure always a good time. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great Friday !!! Danny

My first kayak was an intex challenger 1. It was cheap (I think $60). I do not recommend them it started losing air after a few hours of being on the water. I have considered hobie inflateables though should be much higher in quality, but also much higher in price!

I might get one i love it 😎

Some great shots Trip. Nice work brotha!

Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot!! Thanks!!!

great video - thanks for sharing

Ever thought about bringing dive gear and making a dive from your kayak or paddle board? I have dove there. Its a nice relaxing dive. A lot of inflow from the cave.

Holy shit u look so funny 🤣 when fast ⏩ forwarding ......lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just bought my first iSUP I can't wait until I get it!

This is an excellent action review. Subbed.

So im looking at either an inflatable kayak or an inflatable sup to just mess around in at the beach or in a harbor. Which do you think would be better, more fun, better workout faster etc. (ive also never tried either before)
