- BRBrandon R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoFirst paddle board
This is a great SUP , my first one and it glides so nice on the river up and down stream , lots of room for cargo or an extra friend , I strapped my beach chair too it and it was perfect.
CBCanadian Board Company2 months agoBrandon R.! 🙌 This is such an awesome first SUP experience review — we're absolutely thrilled the El Capitan is treating you so well on the river!
It sounds like you've already discovered what makes this board so special - that smooth glide and incredible stability that lets you load it up with gear (love the beach chair setup!) and still paddle confidently . The El Capitan was designed exactly for adventures like yours, where you want the space and performance to really make the most of your time on the water.
Welcome to the SUP family, and here's to many more perfect paddle sessions with your El Capitan! 💙
- SMSean M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoIt’s been great!
Such a good experience! Everything from the initial purchase to the enjoyment we’ve had on the water, it’s all been good. I don’t generally provide reviews for purchases but this one is well deserved.
We had the opportunity to meet Jaeger in person at a boat show. He provided our introduction to the brand and products. We were impressed by the quality of the products and his overall knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment.
We returned shortly afterwards and purchased our Board. We went with the large and awesome “El capitan - Bomber” What a board! The purchase, shipping/tracking updates and delivery experience was seamless, 5 stars! but I didn’t want to review anything until we had the chance to use the board and equipment several times. So after some great days on the water with my paddling partner and the board, there’s no doubt, we’re so happy with it! It’s quality, it’s stable and it’s so much fun! We’ve even been out with some wind and chop and the board handles great. Having 2 people on the board feels comfortable and we’re having more fun than we expected.
So yeah, 5 stars!
My only suggestion/note for anything better would be for a 2nd universal mount on a 2 person board, so we could both have cup holders. Maybe an added accessory option?
CBCanadian Board Company3 months agoSean M.! 🙌 This review just made our entire team's day! We're absolutely thrilled to hear you and your paddling partner are having such an amazing time with the 11'6 El Capitan - Bomber!
It's so awesome that you got to meet Jaeger at the boat show - he's such a passionate guy and really knows his stuff when it comes to our boards. We're stoked he could give you that proper introduction to what we're all about!
The El Capitan - Bomber really is something special, and hearing that it's handling wind and chop like a champ with two people on board is exactly what we love to hear! That stability and quality you're experiencing is what we designed it for - maximum fun on the water 😆
Thanks for taking the time to test it out properly before reviewing too - that means so much to us! And what an awesome idea about a second universal mount for dual cup holders on the 2-person setup. Our team is always looking for ways to make the experience even better!
Your support and this incredible review mean everything to our small Canadian team! So glad you're having more fun than expected out there! 💙☀️
- DDoyleVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoSo far, so good!
I’ve taken it out on a few BC lake trips so far and had no issues at all. It’s easy to inflate, deflate, and pack away, and feels super solid on the water. I use it with my kayak seat and paddle as my dog loves being on the water but isn’t a fan of kayaks. She does love the stability and freedom this board offers.
It’s not the fastest setup (as expected), but that’s not why I got it. It tracks well and is incredibly stable. My only minor gripe (more feedback) is that I wish the accessory mount was positioned closer to the front for my camera, but that’s an easy fix with a stick-on mount, and it definitely doesn’t take away from how great the board is.
Next step: adding a Bixpy motor to get it cruising!
CBCanadian Board Company3 months agoThis is awesome to hear - thank you! 🙌 We love that your pup’s found their perfect ride 😎🐾 The El Cap is all about stability and freedom, and it sounds like you two are putting it to great use.
Totally hear you on the accessory mount placement - and love that you’re already planning your own solution (and a Bixpy?! Now we’re talkin’ 🚀). Thanks again for trusting us with your lake adventures — stoked to be part of them! 💙🇨🇦
- LKLisa K.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars4 months agoBomber
I took my new board out on Lake Huron tonight for a sunset paddle. It was easy to set up once I knew there was no fin screw and bolt. Thanks for the team both calling me and emailing me back with the updated information on the fin.
The board tracks well in the water. Goes fast given it’s a big wide board.
The paddle is short for me. The way it goes together puts my bottom hand on the locking part where it joins. I will have to source a better paddle.
The travel bag is perfect. I look forward to taking the bomber out on all the Great Lakes.
Can’t wait to buy a second board for the family.
Love that it’s Canadian!
CBCanadian Board Company4 months agoHi Lisa!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on the El Capitan Bomber! We're so glad our team could help clear up the fin situation for you - and what a perfect spot for a maiden voyage with that Lake Huron sunset paddle!
Really appreciate your feedback on the paddle length - that's super helpful for us and other customers to know! You're absolutely right that finding the right paddle fit makes all the difference for comfort on longer paddles.
So awesome to hear the board is tracking and performing well for you on the water, and that the travel bag is working out perfectly for your Great Lakes adventures! We love hearing about fellow Canadians getting out there and exploring our beautiful waters!
Thanks again for choosing Canadian-made, and we can't wait to help get your family set up with a second board soon!
- JTJeremy T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoFirst paddle board
I am a 275lb guy and am very new to the sport. This board is very stable and is of very high quality, i was expecting much less for the price. It is fairly light for how big it is and maneuvers quite well. I can't wait to spend many days on the water!!
