The SUP board Aqua Marina Atlas is designed for use in all conditions and is considered suitable for beginners and experienced riders. Its large size (3.66 meters) makes it more stable, comfortable, and fast. It is better for both the beginner who will feel safer and more balanced on it, and the advanced rider who wants to develop speed and cover distance.
Stand-up paddling is suitable for everyone, regardless of weight, physical condition, experience, and does not require many hours of training.
Comfortable transport and storage
It features a solid Neoprene handle, with a strap padding for greater comfort and durability. It is also an excellent choice for travel or short trips, as you can deflate it after use and put it in a backpack.
Red Strap Bungee Cord
Equipped with the latest double object retention system Red Strap Bungee Cord, for safer and larger item transport.
Non-slip material
The investment in diamond-patterned embossed anti-slip material EVA, provides stability and comfort.
Equipped with 1 fin
It features 1 removable fin, which allows for good alignment and less friction. Its installation is easy and requires no tools. The kick pad at the tail offers the ability for on-the-spot turns and maneuvers, providing an additional level of flexibility and fun.
Stainless Steel Rings
It features stainless steel rings for seat attachment, transforming it into a sit-on-top kayak.

Very stable and easily withstands 150-160 kilograms. Relatively slow, obviously. However, the quality of the fin (I have also reviewed the spare part) is unacceptable as it broke within a short time, along with what was inside it and the other spare part. I thought it was my friend who broke one of them by stepping on it and encountering resistance, but it turns out that they break easily even with light waves in the sea to keep it cool from the heat. I am considering selling the Atlas solely for this reason. I imagine all Aqua Marine products have this vulnerability since the fin is the same in many of them. If you buy it, make sure to get spare parts and never leave the fin underwater or remove it. The cord that ties to the foot broke when I used it in a small wave, about one meter high. It is of very low quality compared to the Spiral, which some others have, even cheaper ones. Additionally, during the first inflation, I noticed a small defect near the wing, so it is likely that I fell on a faulty one and it needs to be replaced.
Very good sup, I love it!!
Incredible stability and maneuverability, to the point that the very first time I tried sup in my life, I stood up in the first 5 minutes even though I hadn't inflated it to 15psi.
Great exercise and it's really nice to see the seabed while standing up, no matter how tiring it is... it's a sport after all!!
But..!!
If you're the type of person who gets bored easily, it's not for you!
It's relatively big and heavy and it needs a good rinse with fresh water and wiping afterwards, before storing it, like all sups (if you want it to last, of course)... it has a process... I don't just throw it in the sea and pick it up easily...
It also definitely needs an electric pump, because even though it already has a very good manual pump, if you're a beginner and not very fit, you won't be able to reach 15psi no matter what.
In short, if you want to seriously engage in the sport, it is highly recommended...
If you just want something for fun, go for something smaller and definitely more affordable...
I have it for 2 years. You can easily go for a ride with 2 people (92 kg me, 83 my brother) and it is very stable. Overall, I don't think it has anything negative.
It goes great with one person sitting upright, but it also works very well with someone lying down with their hands. I also added a small chair for fun and used it as a kayak for a bit. We went up with two adults and two teenagers, totaling 220 kilos, and it held up! It's worth it for the quality and the weight it can handle, especially for family fun and such. I don't know what the cheaper ones do, but you don't easily give away 550 either.
Finally, when inflating, after 7-8 psi, if you weigh 65-70 kilos, you have a problem. Eat a little to reach 80+ so you can inflate it more comfortably HAHA.
