Loving the Oak paddleboard. Easy to use, well constructed and beautiful to look at. Love the accessories you can add to it also. Kayak seat and paddle work great. Only negative is it would be nice if the seat was thicker so you are elevated a bit for comfort.
At 76 years young I needed a stable board I could easily carry to the ocean beach a short path from my house. My kayak is too heavy now for me to heft alone. I usually stand on my paddle board but appreciate the detachable kayak seat and will be glad of it when it’s too wavy to “Sup”. Thanks Wild Tribe
I am brand new to paddle boarding. I wanted a good quality board from the start. I chose the Peyto 11’ and I couldn’t be happier. I am still learning but was able to stand on it. It seems to be very well made and sturdy. I appreciate the stiffness in the board once it is fully inflated. Shipping took longer than I was expecting, this was a canpar issue not the wild tribe. The included bad, carbon paddle and kayak conversion kit are very well made. I also picked up the cup holder which has come in handy and fits a larger water bottle base. I am looking forward to spending my summer on the water this year
We received our paddle boards and immediately hit the lake. We were transitioning from kayaks to paddle boards with the kayak kit and it did not disappoint. The set up videos were helpful and after a couple of minutes getting use to the new set up, we were on our way! Great quality boards, super stable and easy to carry. Super happy and already planning our next adventure!
I am a beginner SUPer and this is my first board purchase.
The online shopping experience was easy and I received my package in a week.
I took it out to Lake Austin for the first time last weekend. I filled it up to 18psi. The board is very stable and tracked well.
The paddle took a little getting used to, and the little clamp came loose as I was paddling.
Overall. this is a good board that I'll use for a long time.
I have five inflatables. Two Blackfins, two Towers, and I-Rocker and then the Athabasca from Wild Tribe. The advertising portrayed it as being as stiff as a hardboard. I wouldn’t say it’s any stiffer than any of my other inflatable boards, but it does achieve that stiffness with an inch and a half less thickness, which in a crosswind I think would be somewhat noticeable. It remains to be seen about the welded seams and if that’s a better method. It paddles fairly smooth and glides well. I do like the quality of the included paddle compared to the quality of the paddle that came with my other boards. I find every three-piece paddle to be two flexy at the last joint where the blade attaches. I always wrap that tightly with electrical tape which eliminates the wiggle but effectively makes it a two peace paddle unless you want to unwrap it and re-tape it every time you use it. The only negative I have and this is a personal thing, I feel like the shape, thinness, and coloration with the fake wood trim make it look too much like the Costco boards from Body Glove! This was given to me as a gift and it was purchased at the special deal price. Had I purchased it at the full price, I might not have been as pleased. But for the sale price, it is a very capable board.
Je me sens la queen des paddles !! haha Solide, pratique et stable ! Je suis très excitée de la saison en cours .J;adore les accesoires que je me suis procurer avec ! Une nouvelle passion
Merci Wild Tribe
I LOVE my new paddle board! It’s so light, stays straight in the water, very easy to maneuver, steady, and so many places for gear! 10/10 recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have had four paddle boards now and I can say I am pleased and satisfied with both new wild tribe purchases.
My Naish hard board will always be my favourite but the Columbia did not disappoint today. My group all tried and compared to the twin fish and red paddle they were on par for performance.
Really impressed with the quality and rigidity for an inflatable. My daughter and I really enjoyed tackling waves on Lake Erie sitting together. When the water was quiet she was great at showing off her standing, yoga and dance moves too. Only minor problem was missing lid for the repair kit glue. Otherwise very pleased and will likely buy a bigger board for me next.
J’ai hésité entre plusieurs marques avant d’acheter une Wild Tribe et je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat. Excellent produit !
After several delays with the courier service, my board was finally delivered in a broken box, but I'm happy to say the board was fine despite the rough handling. I've been out on it twice, and it's easy to handle and feels very stable. I have an electric pump that inflates and deflates the board without much effort on my part, which makes the outing more enjoyable. I'm very pleased that everything I needed to get out on the water was included (paddle, fins, ankle leash, and more). Also, the included backpack storage bag with wheels seems very durable and definitely makes it easier to transport the board. However, as a petite person, I find the hip belt doesn't go small enough, along with the lack of a chest strap means my shoulders are carrying all the weight, making it hard on the body (minus a star for this). I was pleasantly surprised at how light and easy it is to carry once inflated. Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality, and I would recommend this board to others.
It is a very good and stable beginner to intermediate paddle board. It needs to be another 6 to 12 inches longer to track straighter. We also put a stadium chair on it for kayaking which makes it very versatile. Comparing it to my 11'6" x 30" hardboard it was slower but still adequate. I would recommend it.
I purchased 2 Columbia 11’ touring boards and a kayak conversion kit. The products are top notch in quality and quite impressive. We have had them out and find they are easy to set up and tear down. All around 10 out of 10 for me. You can truly see the difference between these and cheaper boards at the lake. The profiles are lower the fins are better the paddles are light and well made and all the accessories are above what I expected to get in quality.
Je l’adore
Waiting for the water to warm up in the St. Lawerence to get my 1st paddle in. Everything came well packaged. Pump up time is quick. Board is definitely quality build! I do wish I had waited 2 weeks so I could have received the new additional offer of free dry bag, phone case and bottle holder. Overall very happy with the purchase.
Une planche de qualité à l'esthétique lèché. Un super service client et des conseils après ventre sur comment l'utiliser.
I ordered the Columbia Paddle board, the process was very smooth and really fast delivery ! I met a team member twice at the Adventure show in Toronto and knew for over a year now that id order a Paddle Board from this company and I am soo happy that I finally did! The bag is really nice quality too! Cant wait to try it out! Got an amazing deal as well!
I placed my order for the Sequoia paddle board in Aug and it finally arrived the first week of October. I was a little disappointed in how long it took to arrive. But, and here’s the big question, was it worth the wait? Hell yeah! What a sweet ride! Quality construction, easy to set up, the paddles are primo, and the duffle is hardcore. I’m a kayaker not a SUP person. In fact I’ve never been on a SUP before this. I kid you not. I wanted a watercraft that was easy and quick to get out on the water in a moments notice. Something that didn’t require a second person and a ladder to help me get it on and off the roof of my converted cargo van for totally independent paddling freedom. And being a complete newb, something that offered stability and versatility. It was so easy to inflate, carry to the water, and get on for my first ever ride. The day was cold, grey, misty with strong winds and small waves, not the placid hot day I’d envisioned for my maiden voyage. All went well, kneeling to standing, and I never fell in once or got soaked. A good thing because the lakes in Northern Ontario and Manitoba are a bit chilly this time of year. I can’t wait until next summer to take her out again and again. I rated 4 stars because of delivery time, and I wanted to get more paddling in before the snow flies. Peace.
I just received my Wild Tribe Sequoia SUP, and it looks beautiful! The design and color are even nicer in person, and the board feels really sturdy and well-made. I haven’t had the chance to take it out on the water yet, but I’m already excited and ready for some early summer paddling next year!
The only reason for 4 stars is the long wait and limited updates during shipping — I was really looking forward to using it sooner. But overall, I’m happy with the board and can’t wait to finally try it out!
I felt guilty leaving my dog at home when I would paddle board with a friend who has one of his litter mates and she gets to join. While my dog is much bigger than his sister I needed a bigger board. The Oak seemed to be what I needed being wider and being able to handle the extra weight of a 100lb dog. One short paddle and it was a great success......he was chill like he had been on one before unlike his sister who ends up in the water a few times every excursion.
Love my new paddle board! Got the 10” Peyto, so happy I decided on the smaller size. It is perfect for me! Easier to carry & handle on the water. I am 5’4, 130lbs.
On construit son prope bonheur… Avec la planche Naïa 11, c’est exactement ça le bonheur! Une planche de qualité, d’une stabilité incroyable, quoi demander de mieux?
We tried our new The Wild Tribe SUPs for the first time over the past two days at Pinery Provincial Park. We are both in our 70's and we have never been on a SUP. We had a great experience! The videos on the website showed us exactly how to get ready for the water. We standing up and paddling as soon as we were on the water. The boards are stable while also being maneuverable. We are 100% satisfied with purchase and feel that we made the right choice in going with The Wild Tribe.
