Can you use this board like a standup paddle board on a lake (no waves)?

No, it is extremely slippery for one, and it has absolutely no internal support. It would be like trying to stand on a floating carpet. This would only be mildly useful for small (skinny) children, or someone who is just looking for a flotation device that resembles a surfboard.

Yes, you could use it on a lake with no waves. It is light though and thus not so stable. I would recommend it for someone with good balance. Good luck

No, only for a kid, the board is not good quality, is like a boogie board twice thicker and short board size
1403256
no, the board is poor quality, could be a paddle board for kids, it is only 6 feet, a paddle board are usually 9' foot up.

Don't know. I only bought them for decoration to put on top of my brothers custom van, and then they were too short.

I have one of these and use on a fresh water lake.. my paddle sinks right away. Glad I tested it - ended up getting a paddle leash which works, but can get in the way. Better than losing it though I suppose.

You can but water ruins electronics! I don't know that much about it was a gift for my Grandson! He loved it! It will climb all over!

uuumm... I haven't tried that. I'm not sure, maybe if it's not in the sun. Otherwise I'm not sure you could read it. The manufacturer may have that info. I love my boards! I bought 2.

Possibly yes but also possibly no because they are so thick. I only surf, no paddle board so I can't honestly say. What I'd do is buy a set off Craig's List and see. If not resale them....

Too small for paddle boarding. You will need a bigger wider board for that!

It should be just fine as long as you understand that the shorter the boat the less stable. I play with mine in the main Salmon river Idaho and on lakes. I have flipped mine a few times horsing around.Out in larger chop I have extra floatation and a pump. This boat is a bitch to drain if your out from shore and flip it. I have a skirt for mine and that's real sweet. Bottom line it's light and very versital.

If you mean paddle with an oar, I don't think so. You definitely can't use it as a SUP.

No, spend the money and get a quality board. This board snapped inhalf while my daughter was riding down a hill. She ws not trying to do crazy stuff with the board as it is a long board used for cruising. The board broke all the way across the back screws.

Yes, you definitely can! We have a a lot of customers separately buy seat attachments for their boards. You can buy d-rings (http://bit.ly/1q8G1ZX) if the seat doesn't come with any, and install the d-rings on the sides of the board to easily attach and detach the seat. A lot of people use inflatable boards for fishing--because of their weight capacities--or for paddling like a kayak/canoe--because of the board's stability. I hope this helps!-AllisonTower Paddle Boards

I don't think it would work well with the paddle board. It does fine in the rain. It lets water into the compartment but the electronics stay dry enough. If your paddle board get submerged it would not survive.

Why not? I have paddled in the Pacific Ocean and there has never been any problem. To me the ocean is more fun than the lake.

I really don't know. I only use it at a quiet small lake. I would not want to risk itin swift moving water. Better to use a hard shell kayak.

I'm sorry but our board has been deflated for the winter. We live in Wisconsin and used the paddle board on a small lake that I live on. No waves so I can't really give you an idea on how it works in those conditions. We enjoyed it during the summer months and it is very sturdy since my grandsons are all football players and well over 6 feet tall and over 200 lbs. Hope this helps.

Sure, why not? It's for play in the water, and is a bunch of fun for kids and adults. Go to the lake, take your ice cube and have fun!

I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!

Not really.. this board is more for cruising than freestyle. Along with that, the wheels the board comes with are extremely gummy. They're quiet and grippy, good for cruising, but bad for sliding.
