The stuff is definitely pricier than you'd find in a thrift store but usually much better quality from upper-end brands.

I was looking for something portable that I did not have to spend time tying on the roof. I found Stand on liquid and went there in Thursday and got the board home two hours later.

It is really rare these days to get good customer service anywhere so I appreciated that this was an easy sale with no pressure and people that sell noting but paddle boards. I brought home a beautiful 12ft Newport and can't wait to get her on the water as soon as we have some great weather. Thanks again. Dennis Fehling Terrebone, Oregon

There's a board for everyone of all shapes, sizes and experience levels. I've got a few days on my new inflatable SUP so far and the value of what you get it great. I originally got a board that was a little small for me and that was all fixed with a simple, quick call to the shop. I swung back by, the guys helped me pick out a better size board and the rest is history. I'd also point out that the shop is second to none. The vibes are immaculate and I recommend everyone stop in and check them out.
