I ordered the new 10.8 Cruise SUP earlier this year with shipping date 26th of May. It was delivered on the 4th of June properly packed and without any obvious damage. Once unpacked the SUP itself was also very well packed inside the shipping box (additional plastic and foam). The only thing was a very strong plastic smell when I unrolled the board. I did fill the SUP with air and left it a few hours in the living room to test for air leakages - the pressure stayed the same. On my board I found a few "cosmetic" things like a small damage at the black Kick-pad on the back of the board, a few very small places where the blue paint looks different than on the rest of the board (like it is not properly painted). The paddle is good and stable and easy to hold and handle. The click connection on the middle part of the paddle (on the pictures) is not very strong which makes the upper part of the paddle with the T-bar move (turn inside the middle part) if you really put force on the paddle to speed up or paddle fast. During the test on the water last Friday the board was amazing. It is easy to handle, manoeuvre and incredibly stable. Also in comparison with the boards from the SUP school it is obvious, that you get a better board if you pay a little bit more money. Additional information: If you pump the air into the SUP you really need to be strong especially when you get closer to 11 PSI. I was not able to get more than 11 PSI into the board, because the pump does simply not get against the pressure on the inside of the board. Conclusion: should you buy a SUP from Bluefin? Absolutely! If you look for a qualitative good board with good additional equipment, you really should make the consideration of buying one!
