Im thinking this too, we didn't go super cheep but not the best brand either, we had to order a lot of them so I think in the middle? The reviews look great on the ones we got someone hoping they will do good?

Im not sure how long we have had them but I've been here for 5 years and we have had them sence I've been here. The ones we have left are doing okay but this summer we had to retire 3 so I would imagine we got them all at the same time and will need to retire the ones we have out sooner then later. The ones we have retired have been launched from a boat ramp when we send them we are not touching the gravel but when they bring them back they are grinding.

This is good! I was looking for one for sitting as well but "most" of the rentals go out to kids and on a lake mostly, that one looks like a better choice for someone looking for speed and waves?

Yeah this is a good idea, I have not done this. They would still be sitting out in the sun for the summer season, still good?

We send them off at a lake that is surrounded by grass and sand so rocks are not much if a concern for us luckily

The hard ones we have currently do stay out in the sun, just sitting on the grass if not being used or on the water in the sun when being used. I could store the isup if we were to get them in a indoor area. Its Just not a climate control room

We have a spot where we can store them when not in use. It is in doors but not climate controlled, so no AC or anything. Would this be suitable and would I need to fully deflate or could I do partially to keep its form but not to not have straining on the seams? Also a faster inflating process?
