Question 1

How do I inflate my ParadisePad SUP Board?

Accepted Answer

Fasten air hose to the pressure gauge on the pump. Locate the air valve on the tail  of the board. Open the valve cover. Make sure the inner valve is  in the “UP” position. Connect the air hose to the air valve. Inflate to 10-15 psi. We recommend testing out your board at varying psi to find the right fit for you. Disconnect air hose from the valve. The inner valve will prevent air from escaping when in the “UP” position. Close the valve cover. Generally the pressure gauge will start to register a pressure reading at 7 PSI’s.  The board should take about 160-180 pumps to achieve15 PSI

Question 2

How long should I leave my iSUP inflated?

Accepted Answer

If your inflatable paddle board is stored inside, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature changes, the board can be left inflated indefinitely. To preserve the life of your isup it is recommended deflating periodically.

Question 3

How should I store my board?

Accepted Answer

Deflate your isup by pressing the the valve pin to the down position. It will then lock in this position. Air will naturally leave the board when the valve is in deflate. Roll the board up from the nose to the tail. Once all the air has been removed place the valve in the closed or “ inflate”position, sticking up. This will prevent air from being sucked back into the board. Remove center fin. Secure your board with the belt that comes in the isup package. The deckpad should be on the inside and the fins on the outside. This preserves life of the deckpad. Boards should be stored dry.

Question 4

What type of paddle comes with this iSUP and does it float?

Accepted Answer

The iSUP comes with an upgraded fiberglass 3-piece adjustable paddle with nylon composite blade. It breaks down conveniently to fit into the included back pack and will float assembled.

Question 5

Are the fins included?

Accepted Answer

Yes, some of the inflatable boards have permanently fixed side fins.  One or more removable center fins are included with every SUP.

Question 6

What is included in a ParadisePad SUP package?

Accepted Answer

The single person sup's will come with a backpack, dual action high volume hand pump, ankle leash, 3 piece fiberglass paddle, and repair kit.

Question 7

What PSI do I inflate my Paradise standup paddle to?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your preference from 12-15 psi. Larger sized people will prefer a higher psi.

Question 8

What makes the Paradise Stand up paddleboard so firm?

Accepted Answer

Paradise uses drop stitch fibers  that  connect the top and bottom layers of  military-grade PVC. When inflated  the waterpad becomes  a hard, stable platform.

Question 9

Did I hear correctly that Paradisepad broke a Guiness World Record with a multi person paddleboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Paradise Pad broke a Guiness World Record with 73 passengers with their 50' stand up paddleboard!  We do offer two sizes of multi- person paddleboards.

Question 10

Why would I want a electric fin for a paddleboard?

Accepted Answer

Strong winds pop up and you are struggling to get back home. Turn on the remote and no more fighting the wind. You get a leg cramp and are struglling to stand up. Sit down and turn on the electric fin and no more worries! If  sometimes you  dont want to go out with faster paddlers as you feel like you are holding them up,  just turn on  high speed and see if they can keep up with you! Do you want to fish or troll? Turn on low speed and greatly reduce your paddling.

Question 11

What sizes of multi-person paddleboards do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Paradise Pad offers two sizes of multi-person paddleboards. Our 12'x5' wide inflatable SUP is ideal for 2-4 people but can also be used by one person. For larger groups of 4-8 people, the 17'x5' option is the best choice. Both options guarantee a great time on the water.

Question 12

What makes Paradise pad foam pads so much better than other foam floats for boating?

Accepted Answer

Paradise Pad is proud to say we have been named The premium foam water pad for 6 straight years. Paradise uses denser foam made in the USA with the Best in Class tear resistant membrane between the layers of foam. Most companies will cut corners and use a lower priced plastic tether vs or stainless steel tether and not even use a membrane to stop tearing.

Question 13

Do you make a Yellow, pink or red paddleboard?

Accepted Answer

At this time we only make one classic looking style inflatable paddleboard with woodgrain looking eva foam and white drop stitch membrane. We do plan on adding to our offering of paddleboards in the future. Let us know if you feel we should bring on any style like a inflatable kayak, racing paddle board, or any other kind of stand up paddleboard.

Question 14

What are the advantages of a inflatable paddleboard over a hard sup?

Accepted Answer

The main benefit of a Isup over a hard paddleboard is that it  comes down to transporting  and storage. Being able to inflate and deflate your iSUP means you don’t need a car rack, pickup truck to haul the board around.  You can take your sup on a airplane trip but good luck walking into a airport with a 12' hard board.  iSUPs don’t get damaged easily, so you don’t have to worry about scratches like with a hard board.

Question 15

I see Paradise Pad offers 5 Models (XS, S, M, L, XL). Why so manyoptionas and which is the best for my family?

Accepted Answer

The standard water pad in the industry is a 2ply water pad around 1.25” – 1.5” thick, 6’ wide by 12’ or 18’ long. Our thinnest pads (XS and M) are 1.4” thick and are perfect for the family with small kids. Great for the adults too, but not as easy for adults to “walk on water”. If only 4-5 users, the 12’ (XS) is plenty big & will support roughly 900lbs; If more than 4-5 users go with the 18’ (Medium) which will support roughly 1,500lbs of distributed weight (laying/sitting). We have other style options as customers have been asking for more. The next thickest pad is our Large model (6’ x 18’ x 1.5”). This is our original 3ply pad, 3ply means 3 layers of foam, in relation the 2ply is 2 layers of foam. With an additional layer of foam, results in enhanced buoyancy/floating power! This model will support roughly 1,800lbs. If the Large model is appealing but you’re still uncertain if it will be enough flotation then check out our XL. It’s our best pad we offer & have ever made. 6’ x 18’ x 2.1” and will support roughly 3,000lbs. Our fifth model is our Small. Unique in its own class because it is 5’ x 15’ x 2.1” and will support roughly 2,000lbs. By making a foam pad a foot narrower we have made a pad that is easier for transportation & storage – it even fits in the backseat of some cars, whereas 6’ pads cannot fit in a vehicle unless mid sized SUV, van, or truck. This model is recommended for 4-5 users & can be seen on many rental boats across the country.

Question 16

Was Paradise Pad the first company to make floating foam lake mats?

Accepted Answer

No, we were not the first company making floating water pads. Our world class engineers had time to study the flaws of others like no tear resistant membrane, low density foam, plastic tethers, no bungee cords, no customer service or warranty, & most are made in China. We didn’t want to make the same mistakes like others. Some other firsts have been the Hindenberg, Titanic, Blackberry, etc. It is just an example being a first isn’t always the best.

Question 17

Are Paradise Pad's water pads made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

YES, PROUDLY. The ParadisePad family business is based in the Midwest and is very proud to say our manufacturing process and foam are all made in the USA. We could save a lot of money buying a second rate water pad made in China but we felt we couldn’t mislead our American friends like some other foam water pad companies. American foam > imported foam.

Question 18

Where do I put my Paradise Pad when my boat is full of people?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel their ParadisePad is the best lay toy to bring boating but all foam floating pads take up a lot of space. When boating, most will lay their ParadisePad on the swim platform or on the front of a pontoon boat.

Question 19

How do I anchor my Paradise Pad floating foam lake mat?

Accepted Answer

Paradise Pads come with a superior stainless steel tether on each side of the pad and a 10’-15’ bungee cord with carabiner clips at each end. Attach one end of the bungee to the pad and the other end to the boat, jetski, dock, anchor etc.!

Question 20

How can I extend the lifespan of my Paradise Pad?

Accepted Answer

Paradise Pad uses high-quality American-made foam with UV screeners. However, UV rays can still be harmful. We recommend keeping the water pad out of direct sunlight when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun on land or water.

Question 21

What is the warranty on my foam Paradise Pad?

Accepted Answer

We offer the easiest and best 1 year warranty in the industry. Many other brands make you get a return goods form and then you need to pay around $150 to ship the item back to see if they will warranty. We feel this is unfair. Most other brands limit the warranty and do not cover tears from jumping on the pad. We ask that you email us your proof of purchase, picture of the problem and we take it from there…

Question 22

Do you still manufacture folding foam floating mats?

Accepted Answer

We have discontinued the production of folding mats as they did not perform as expected. They lacked the buoyancy of a standard foam pad, took up a lot of space on the boat, and required significant time to assemble. For a more compact and buoyant option, consider our lineup of inflatable pads, which fit under a boat seat and offer superior buoyancy.

Question 23

What kind of foam do you use for your foam pads

Accepted Answer

We manufacture our foam pads  with marine grade Cross-Linked Polyethene foam made in the USA that is soft and smooth to the skin vs many other competitors foam  mats.

Question 24

Where should I store my foam lake mat when not in use?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that you store your foam lake pad  not directly exposed to the sun. UV rays can be harmful to all plastic items. Exposing your foam water pad to the sun 24 hours a day, 7 days a week will affect its life expectancy.

Question 25

What air pressure should I put in my inflatable pad?

Accepted Answer

Paradise recommends around 3-5 psi with  the water pads, 4-6 psi with the Splash Island and Splash pad, yoga mat around 5-7 psi.

Question 26

Do you recommend a electric pump to fill up the inflatable pads from the boat?

Accepted Answer

Would you rather enjoy a drink or hand pump a pad? The 12v electric pump will give you all the pressure you will need but it takes longer than the 120v pump. If you are inflatating from the boat go with a 12v electric pump and make your life easier.

Question 27

Can I leave my Paradise Splash Island in the water for extended time periods?

Accepted Answer

Sure but anything left in the water may see algae growth.  If this happens, flip over your party pad and wipe with a rag. Make sure to anchor properly and we do suggest using 1-2 lines to the water pad.

Question 28

What is the best way to clean my Paradise inflatable party pad?

Accepted Answer

Basic cleaning supplies and a rag are usually sufficient for cleaning. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser works exceptionally well.

Question 29

Can I use my Paradise inflatable dock in the ocean?

Accepted Answer

Sure thing. If at all possible rinse off with fresh water after use.

Question 30

Can my Splash island, Splash pad or any other inflatable pad be towed?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend towing the pads behind your boat. The drings are strong but are not designed for towing.

Question 31

What is the weight capacity of my inflatable mat?

Accepted Answer

We normally say, if there is room for you to sit or lay down, it will hold the extra weight. We have seen pictures of 15 adults on inflatable pads. The buoyancy of a inflatable pad is much better than foam water pads.

Question 32

Are the Paradise Pad inflatable mats, Splash Islands and Splash pads durable?

Accepted Answer

These inflatable pads are made with the  same PVC construction and drop-stitch technology seen in our Guiness World Record paddleboard. Many other brands of inflatable docks are easily punctured and made out of thinner or lower grade products.  You will  be astonished on how buoyant, rigid and sturdy they are!

Question 33

Does Paradise Pad have a inflatable jet ski dock?

Accepted Answer

Yes, It is more like a portable or temporary jet ski dock and/or floating mat. Dock your seadoo have another 6.5'x5' area to relax and hang out. Great to keep your jet ski from banging into your boats or docks.

Question 34

We always take our Paradise party cove island ( Splash Pad) to the local party cove. We normally fill with a hand pump when we get tie up the boat. Is this the best way?

Accepted Answer

We strongly suggest that you get a 12v pump and inflate the pad in party cove.  We do supply a hand pump with each pad purchased but it does take longer and way more work.
