Atoll Inflatable SUP

GEAR: ATOLL INFLATABLE SUP

PACKS AWAY NICELY: WE HAVE WANTED A STAND UP PADDLE BOARD FOR A WHILE, BUT WITH A TENT ON OUR ROOF, WE CAN'T STRAP A BOARD UP THERE. THAT'S WHERE AN INFLATABLE SUP COMES IN. WHEN NOT IN USE, THE BOARD CAN BE DEFLATED AT FOLDS UP INTO A LARGE BACKPACK/CARRYING BAG THAT FITS EASILY INSIDE THE RIG.
VERY SOLID AND STABLE: ONCE INFLATED TO THE RECOMMENDED PSI, THIS INFLATABLE BOARD FEELS REALLY SOLID AND STABLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO EVEN TELL THAT IT IS INFLATABLE.

CARRYING BACKPACK: WHILE NOT AS COMFORTABLE AS A HIKING BACKPACK, THE BACKPACK/CARRYING CASE PROVIDED BY ATOLL HAS A PADDED WAIST BELT AND SHOULDER STRAPS, MAKING IT MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THAN A LOT OF THE BAGS PROVIDED BY OTHER BRANDS.
UNIVERSAL FIN BOX: THIS IS ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ATOLL BOARD THAT SOLD US ON IT OVER SOME OTHER OPTIONS. HAVING A UNIVERSAL FIN BOX ALLOWS FOR USE WITH OTHER FINS THAT ARE MORE TAILORED TO SPECIFIC CONDITIONS AND DIFFERENT "TERRAINS".
CUSTOMER SERVICE: EVEN BEFORE ORDERING THE BOARD FROM ATOLL, I REACHED OUT TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MAKE SURE WE COULD GET THE BOARD SHIPPED TO US IN TIME FOR A TRIP WE WANTED TO BRING IT ON THEY WERE EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE AND HELPFUL.

PUTTING IT BACK IN THE BAG: IT CAN BE A CHALLENGE AT FIRST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST ROLL OR FOLD UP THE BOARD TO PUT IT BACK IN THE CARRYING BAG. WITH MORE USE, THIS BECOMES LESS AND LESS OF AN ISSUE.
INFLATING WITH MANUAL PUMP IS A WORKOUT: THIS IS NO FAULT OF THE MANUAL PUMP PROVIDED BY ATOLL. AND THIS ISSUE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ATOLL BOARDS. IT'S JUST A FACT THAT WITH AN INFLATABLE BOARD, IT CAN BE A BIT OF WORK TO GET THE BOARD INFLATED. THIS COMPLAINT IS MORE OF KNOCK OUR OUR LACK OF UPPER BODY MUSCLES AND HAVING TO DO AN ARM WORKOUT TO INFLATE THE BOARD IS PROBABLY DOING US A FAVOR.
