reluctant at first of an inflatable sup, being 15 yrs on a 12’6” v-stern rigid sup… shocked at the rigidity, responsiveness and tracking… add in the ease of portability and my rigid is now collecting dust;)
was so impressed i bought an 11’ athabaska to replace my other 11’6” rigid
Très stable très bonne qualité, livraison très rapide... je recommande
With no experience I decided on the Wild Tribe Sequoia for multiple reasons - Canadian company, thinner and more stable than others....Finally got out on some calm water and was able to stand up! Very happy with my decision. Excellent communication, fast shipping.
I just started paddle boarding and came across wild tribe honestly by accident since I wanted to buy Canadian brand.
Ordering and delivery process
Very smooth no issues whatsoever. If you are in Canada expect fast shipping. I am located in GTA Ontario and got the purchase in about two days. Less actually.
The board itself
I am about 190-200lbs so from my last experience with a body glove board and a rental I definitely felt unstable a bit on those boards. The sequoia stiff board worked quite nicely for my body weight. I pumped it to about 18.5 psi , 19.5 psi since i was a bit hesitant to get it up to 20 psi. I love the carbon fibre paddle shaft. I have seen reviews of other paddle boards online that have pointed to the heavier shafts. This is amazing. Love it. Very light. The leash is great and solid. No complains there.
Touring
I haven’t taken it in choppy waters just calm lakes so didn’t feel the need to use all the three fins at all times but i did add it on my last trip on a lake. The speed is definitely noticeable and feels great. It sits close to the water so i guess it feels like it cruises more ? I definitely enjoy tracking on this far better than the rental i had and just sitting on it on the water for a nice relaxing evening. I can easily do 3-6 strokes before switching to the other side. Sometimes more. I am still getting used to the paddle board and paddling but i have already purchased the wet bag, bottle holder, cleaner ( it smells super fresh and clean) am hoping to take it out lot more often before winter hits.
The electric pump
Works great. Filled it and used it twice so far. You do have to make sure to set it right angle else there will be air leakage. Don’t use hand pump much since its effort a lot lol.
Some thoughts :
PS : Even according to ChatGPT and grok on a basic comparison between Wild tribe and other brands, price to performance ratios, the AI chose Wild tribe with around a 1k Canadian dollar budget that punches above its weight class. Excellent value. Will recommend this to others. Some feedback : The website is too visually busy so some cleaning there will help with product selection and checkout much easily. The checkout with shop is great.
Love this board! Ended up buying 2 so y wife and daughter can enjoy together. Big enough for my dog too. Stable well built and easy to pack and unpack.
I finally got around to taking my Sequoia 11" iSUP out for a test ride. I have 2 45Ilb dogs, so used the seat and used it as a kayak on the first ride. With 2 dogs I found it as advertised. It was very stable and moved quicker than I thought it would. On the second voyage, I took one dog ands stood up as it should be used. Again, very stable and was again faster than I thought. Everything I need fits in the back back and I look forward to exploring a lot more lakes.
J’ai mijoté longtemps avant de faire mon achat. Aucun regret! Le tout est de qualité; les instructions sont facile à suivre. J’ai écouté quelques vidéos de conseils et techniques et tout c’est super bien passée. Une planche très stable et on se sent libre comme l’air la-dessus.
The ordering process was great, easy and the boards were delivered on time. Everything arrived as expected, the quality is great!
Looking forward to going out this weekend!
J’ai acheté le paddle sequoi et le sac l’étanchéité et mes sorties sont toujours merveilleuses!
Awesome board! Tried it out with the pooch for the first time today. It handled well even with a bit of wind and very stable with the dog. Only issue is with the paddle! The two ends don't align so the button can't click in place and hold the ends together! Hoping it can be replaced :)
Hi Lauren,
We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your product!
Have you had a chance to fill out the warranty claim form yet? 🙂
Let us know if you need any help with the process!
J'ai choisi le Sequoïa pour sa stabilité et la possibilité d'avoir 4 action mount. Malheureusement les accessoirs des autres compagnies ne vissent pas dans les action mount de la planche. Il demeure bien pour mettre un banc de kayak. J'ai adoré pêcher sur le lac cet été, je recommande fortement !!!
Très contente d'avoir acheté mon équipement, superbe qualité, a surmonté la hauteur de mes attentes! Je vais définitivement acheter plus d'équipements ici!!!
Reçu au début de décembre, une gonflée, elle est très rigide, facile à gonfler avec la pompe double action. J’ai bien hâte de la mettre à l’eau l’été prochain.
Compagnie québécoise, produits de qualité et livraison rapide ❤️
J’ai reçu ma commande en quelques jours seulement! Très bon prix et j’ai reçu tous les produits qui venaient avec la promotion! Je suis bien équipé pour la prochaine saison! Très hâte de l’essayer!
Très satisfaite de mon achat, planche stable et léger à transporter.
Première sortie avec ma planche et quel bonheur. Très bonne stabilité et glisse superbement su l'eau sans effort. Pagaie solide et ajustable.
I've tried many electric pumps- this one is by far the best. As with everything from TWT, the quality jumps out at you. Just feels nice in the hands. Smaller than my other pumps, but more powerful. Recommend.
Super contente de ma planche j’aurai bien aimer avec la promotion de la pompe électrique gratuite mais très satisfaite quand même, un produit de qualité
J'ai récemment acheté un paddle board et je suis absolument ravi de mon expérience ! Tout d'abord, le design est vraiment attrayant avec ses couleurs vives et son esthétique moderne.
En termes de performance, le paddle board est exceptionnel. Il glisse facilement sur l'eau, même en cas de petites vagues, et il offre une excellente stabilité, ce qui est idéal pour les débutants comme moi. J'apprécie particulièrement sa légèreté, ce qui facilite le transport et la manœuvrabilité sur l'eau.
La qualité de fabrication est également remarquable. Les matériaux semblent robustes et durables, ce qui me donne confiance pour l'utiliser pendant plusieurs saisons. De plus, le gonflage est rapide et simple grâce à la pompe fournie.
En résumé, je recommande vivement ce paddle board à tous ceux qui cherchent un produit fiable et amusant. C'est un excellent investissement pour profiter pleinement de l'été et de la nature !
Planche vraiment agréable que ce soit seul ou avec un ado dessus.
Très maniable et stable même avec beaucoup de poids dessus.
Excellent quality. Very rugged bag. Will surely last a long time. So pleased with it that bought a second one for my girlfriend.
I can’t even begin to say how much I am enjoying this board. It’s pretty simple to set up and also pack away. It’s sturdy, it’s solid and it’s stunning. My dog and I are loving it so far.
