Being a bigger guy I wanted a paddle board that would be stable and big enough to take my daughter out to enjoy the day with her dad. The rackham performed perfectly. Having the rackham allows me to accomplish a numbers of goals! Spend time with family and the options to add accessories and a have a perfect fishing set up. Looking forward to making memories!

The Rackham is the most versatile SUP on the inflatable SUP market. Between the racks and the gear straps you can pretty much bring this board anywhere and configure it in any arrangement to suite your needs. From a calm paddle on a wake to hooking stripers in the ocean this board can do it all. With that being said, I was surprised how damaged the packaging was when it as received and I was also surprised with how fast this board started to discolor. Structurally this board is a 10/10 but it definitely needs some additional QC and care during the manufacturing and distribution process.

Very nice way to get put on the water and enjoy fishing, paddle boarding, floating or just a day relaxing.

First of all, this board is outstanding and I love that I bought it. Got me back on the water and excited to get back to my passion! The stability is like nothing I’ve experienced before and all the accessories make this a fun board to outfit. I do have a couple of things to offer as feedback. First, if you are planning on getting a couple of the RAC accessories then make sure you pick up an extra set of the RAC slide in receivers. It only comes with 2 and I don’t recall seeing that anywhere, my first couple trip where without the bucket RAC because I didn’t have the extra receivers. Second, the paint on the sand spear comes off basically immediately and you end up with paint chips on hands, boat, everywhere. Using this on the Texas coast so the spear is a MUST, so I recommend it but if you don’t want paint chips my suggestion is to sand it off before use. And lastly, if you are dealing with any sallow oyster reefs or sand bars pick up the 3 inch center fin. The 10 inch is way to big for shallow water and I almost dumped myself a couple times on the first trip.
