![]() ![]() What you will notice first is the large deck pad and the 15 D-rings the board has, which allows for a kayak paddle board seat to be attached to the board. The board feels robust and doesn’t feel like it would break soon because of the sturdy material. It takes less effort to move forward through the water and reach some higher speeds. It feels freeing to carry the Atoll board compared to those, a lot easier to reach the water.Ĭompared to other boards I have tested the raised nose makes a big difference when it comes to the performance and speed of the board. ![]() I have tested some boards that were a lot heavier that could carry about the same weight. So it can carry a lot without any problem, it even managed to carry my huge body without any problem! (I have lately gotten fat shaming comments here, can you imagine □?).įor a board that weighs only 21 lbs / 9.5 kg this is a great performance. But who is really going to do that?Īccording to Atoll their paddle board has a weight limit of 400 lbs, but they have even tested it up to 700 lbs. The only time it bends through is when you go sit on it outside of the water on two bars, like I did on the modeling picture. The board is very stable, the size of 11′ x 32″ x 6″ ensures it is very stable and not wobbly at all. I was just walking outside in my SUP outfit with my camera and drone and found this, what a coincidence! The board and accessories are sturdy enough to not need this much protection. Please consider the environment and try to reduce this wrapping material to the minimal. The only downside here is the same as with other inflatable boards – too much plastic wrapping material. First of all I must say it includes a very complete package with all the necessary accessories (except for a SUP kayak seat) to get you out on the water and started right away. I think the logo looks awesome and the board looks really good, so I was very happy to be able to try out the Atoll paddle board and see what it is like. I was already familiar with the brand, but I didn’t try it out yet as these boards are not easy to come by in the Netherlands (yet). On a sunny day in between all the rain (welcome to The Netherlands – while I am writing this it ) I finally decided to get out for some exercise and the quarantine boredom to try out the 2021 Atoll paddle board. The board mainly focuses on sportiness and fun, but because of the shape it offers some more performance and speed than other beginner boards. This board is especially suitable for starters and people who have less than 5 years of SUP experience. You do not want to catch high waves but you will not be bothered when the water is playful. Because of the raised nose you can paddle through the waters easier and you can reach higher speeds than on completely flat boards. The board is suitable for everyone who wants to paddle through the waters with low resistance and easy paddling. I almost got assaulted on the water! Nearly lost my life trying out this paddle board for you guys! □ ![]() Quite heavy to inflate (or I am really out of shape because of the lockdown).No SUP seat included in the package (Maybe I am just spoiled □). ![]()
