Super thrilled with our new Monarch! Highly recommend this board for beginner SUP users. Pumping it up the first time takes a bit of patience, but my husband said the second time around was easier. Love the portability and durability of this board. Badfish user for life! This board is extremely stable in the water. We had our 5 year old sit towards the front of the board and never felt like we were going to tip over (even in some rougher water). Also, super happy to have shopped with Riverbound sports. Terri from customer service was so helpful and friendly. Can’t beat the free shipping too (Badfish does not provide free shipping if you buy direct). Support small/local businesses!

We are very happy with not only our SUPs, but also with the customer service of this company and Badfish. We didn’t want to buy just any inflatable, but something that would hold up. We found these by using them in Moab from a rafting company. They had nothing to gain by telling us how great they work for them, getting used daily and by who knows who, on the CO River. We appreciate the information and personal follow up from Riverbound Sports Paddle Company

After renting these multiple times, I finally bought one of my own. Its an easy board to paddle, stable but not sluggish, easy to maneuver, and you have a good feel for the water due to the 5″ depth (as opposed to the higher 6″ of most iSUPs.). Also helps on windy days because the side doesn’t catch the breeze so much. My favorite feature. Add a doggie deck pad and this board can stand up to some crazy canine antics without dumping you in the water!
The Riverbound staff always takes time to help with good advice even on busy days.
