Would this be a good SUP for lakes and to ride with a sitting child?

Yes if inflated to correct pressure it is very stable the lighter the total weight the more stable If you are over 200 lbs it may be a little squirrelly

This is perfect for lakes, as for childrenow sitting I never had a problem with an adult sitting on it with me.

So if you are looking to ride with an additional rider I would probably go with a little bigger model like the 11' Explorer or 12'6 Touring since it will give you more space and volume on the water. The 10' can it just depends on the experience level of the rider and the size of the people on the board. But for caution I would probably go with the 11' in this scenario.

Lakes are good. Very stable. It is wide enough for a child on the front, but that is where the only bungee cord is if you want to carry anything. I haven't tested the max weight it will hold and I'm a pretty light female. I would call Isle. They are very helpful on the phone.

It has worked well for us in both situations. We have both sizes of this and they are very good SUP.

Yes . Perfectly . It's awesome . I hv many times used with even adults sitting in it . It's great

It depends on their size. Bear in mind the total load capacity is about 500 pounds. We surfed the 370 in Hawaii with a 200 lb. man in front, a 200 lb man in back and a 75 lb child in center, sitting on floor and I felt we were maxed out. For cruising with three at 150 lb each, I would suggest tht the middle person sit on one of those square life preservators and simply ride but not paddle. It's cozy and best done for short trips...like riding the surf as opposed to camping with gear.

Definitely! I have sat on the front while my husband paddled and we did fine on a lake. I'm 5'3/110 - he just had to be more cautious when paddling

It should work fine in a lake, also. It is not heavy duty but you should be able to enjoy it for several or even many days.

Yes but I would keep an extra eye on the kids, might be dangerous but it does have 2 openings. It should float really easy too. The thing I worry about is if it leaks and starts to sink the openings arent real big they could get caught up and drown. However I'm a tad over-protective.

It's not meant for adults. It is good for giving children confidence in the water.

just taking a shot here. i have almost no boating experience but this looks like an easy way to get on a calm small lake and paddle around. would this be safe for a novice who has only rowed a boat before?

I have taken this boat on a small lake along with a bigger boat. it is hard to control its direction, fits one perfect 2 fit tight but doable holds up to 350lbs I believe, but I also have a challenger 2person inflatable kayak that work a lot better for what you are looking for and fishing

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 would say it would since my son and I on it weigh more than that and we have been on it at the same time. We were just in the water a bit more. I didn't like it real firm either so I let a lot of air out before we were on it together.

I don't think it will be too large. If anything, I find it too small for a bigger person. But, to use it for paddleboarding on open waters would be a concern - it will need to be re-charged every time it gets wet and inflates (unless set on manual). Check out the costs of the cylinders for re-charging this unit before buying. Also, keep in mind that this item is not returnable.

Yes, it will float but I suggest you get some bright water proof tape to wrap around the handle because when it is the water it will be partially submerged and hard to see. I highly recommend this sup. I have enjoyed it so much this past summer have not been disappointed, a great board.....

Hi Natalie, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've used my Coleman 2-person a few times with just me and it handled pretty well. Since it's longer, it won't manuever quite as well as a smaller single, but as long as you're not making a lot of tight turns I wouldn't think it would be a problem. FYI, I bought the double because my 20-year old daughter (150 lbs) has cerebral palsy and can't do many outdoor activities, but she can ride in the front seat and I paddle from the back. I've also taken along a large male friend who couldn't paddle due to shoulder issues and was able to handle all the paddling--we weren't going very fast but were able to keep up with some others fairly well. Let me know if you'd like more info.

If you mean stand up paddle, no, it is too small at 6 feet. A small child <45 lbs might be able to SUP on it.

Ehh if you stay down by the water in the harder sand you should be fine. It has hard plastic wheels like the little tikes wagon. Also I would attach the handle to the front so you are pulling your child rather then pushing. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't say it's good to sit on unless you have a child size bottom. :) it's perfect for a head rest and only a couple inches thick. It does have good suction and grip so it would keep you from slipping on the seat. Two would work maybe.

I have know idea. At over 200lbs I enjoy the large tube in the water. the 8-12 year olds like to use one or two of the small tubes. I haven't tried them on snow but amagine the large will be best.
