Kayak itself is fantastic, takes a fair while to pump up though. Seats need a design change, not very sturdy for the price.

Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii USA

Working with Sandbanks Style Team was a pleasure. Even though I'm located halfway around the world in Honolulu, Hawaii/USA, communication through emails was not an issue.
Living in Hawaii, surrounded by ocean presents all types of ocean conditions...From calm rivers, protected lagoons, riding the surf, 25 mph head wind, to the vast blue Pacific Ocean, the SandBanks Style tandem Kayak is versatile and can handle it all. I am very pleased with its sturdy drop stitch construction. A few solo fiberglass outrigger canoe paddlers, were very surprised it was an inflatable. With its V- shaped hull design, in calm waters I was able to keep pace with them. I am very satisfied with this product. I highly recommend it. Best value on the market.
Aloha, Jeff

Fantastic Kayak

Having paddleboarded for several years, I wanted to find something that my wife could join me in doing. I pondered whether the Kayak was worth the price tag and decided to take the plunge. Having now tried it on calm and slightly choppier seas I can say it’s worth every penny. It’s stable on the water and fast when you get a good rhythm going. It turns so easily as well. The accessories are spot on to and the pump makes easy work of pumping it up. I have actually beaten an electric pump, with time to spare using it. Looking forward to taking it to France and getting it on some of their rivers.

Great Product

Used the Kayak for the first time today, you do get
what you pay for. It's a great product, very firm you
would not know it was an inflatable as it's so
sturdy, just like a paddle board.
Me and my partner had a great time on the river
today, we are not small people i'm 6'2" and 16st
and had plenty of room. It was very steady even
when getting in or out and tracks in the water
well. Well done Sandbanks again for a fantastic
product, can't waiting to drive it down to Spain in September 👍

Our boards in a nutshell

We have a dedicated team who take great pride in the manufacturing the very best inflatable paddleboards. This high quality craftmanship improves all aspects of the boards production and is reflected in the outstanding quality of the finished product.

1. Comfortable Grippy DeckPad

The best deck pads are machine pressed in addition to gluing.

2. PVC with Woven Inner

Outer Skin Strength is important for long life and pressure capacity.

3. Fusion Technology

An additional layer of PVC is laminated to the dropstitch core. Fusion results in a lighter, stiffer, longer lasting board, and much better for the environment too than toxic glues.

4. Super Reinforced, High Density Dropstitch

The strength/lightness ratio of the fibres, is key to creating a super rigid but light board.

5. UV Resistant

Built to withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, minimising material decay and keeping colours clear and vibrant.

6. Triple Layer On Rail

A 3rd and final layer around the rail of the board creates a second seal and ensures there are no weak points on the board.

7. Heat Treated Seal

A laminated, heat pressed inner seam on the fused PVC surrounding the core of the board creates a 100% airtight and waterproof seal. Much better and stronger than gluing.
