Received my Naïa 11 3 days after placing the order at the end of July. I've been out a few times already and it's already been a great experience. Installing the fins gets a bit of getting used to with the tiny parts. Great experience so far!
First of all the board is absolutely beautiful! You may think its just another board till you hit some choppy water or a boats wake, that's when you truly see the MAJOR difference. I am truly impressed with it, i have had it less than a week and have had it out 3 times with absolutely no negative thoughts about it.
Je suis très satisfaite de ma nouvelle planche, elle est belle et détaillée! On voit que c'est robuste versus les modèles pas cher sur Amazon. Elle va super bien, est très malléable et super facile pour les debutant. De plus, je n'avais pas reçu les bons ailerons et ils m'en ont envoyé d'autre très rapidement. Bref je suis bien satisfaite de ma super planche!! :)
I would give 5 stars but the big fin is so difficult to attach. The little screw is so easy to drop and lose. Lining up the bottom metal plate is annoying. I have seen a lot of boards with simple fin attachments, I don’t understand why this manufactured.
Also, my manual pump fell apart when trying to inflate.
Board itself is nice and tracks well.
Hi Chelsea, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad you enjoy the board's performance. I see that our team already arranged to ship replacement pump for the broken one you received.
For the center fin, we are using the Universal fin system in the world which allows a better center fin. We can access longer fins which improve the tracking of the board. It allow also to use different type of fins more easily and buy fins anywhere in the world. All big board sport manufacturer use those Universal System (US) fins due to it's many advantages :)
I'm am thoroughly impressed with this board. Super light, super wide, super stable and moves quickly through the water. Had a blast exploring some smaller lakes checking out new campsites. Very happy with this purchase.
Loving the Oak paddleboard. Easy to use, well constructed and beautiful to look at. Love the accessories you can add to it also. Kayak seat and paddle work great. Only negative is it would be nice if the seat was thicker so you are elevated a bit for comfort.
At 76 years young I needed a stable board I could easily carry to the ocean beach a short path from my house. My kayak is too heavy now for me to heft alone. I usually stand on my paddle board but appreciate the detachable kayak seat and will be glad of it when it’s too wavy to “Sup”. Thanks Wild Tribe
I am brand new to paddle boarding. I wanted a good quality board from the start. I chose the Peyto 11’ and I couldn’t be happier. I am still learning but was able to stand on it. It seems to be very well made and sturdy. I appreciate the stiffness in the board once it is fully inflated. Shipping took longer than I was expecting, this was a canpar issue not the wild tribe. The included bad, carbon paddle and kayak conversion kit are very well made. I also picked up the cup holder which has come in handy and fits a larger water bottle base. I am looking forward to spending my summer on the water this year
We received our paddle boards and immediately hit the lake. We were transitioning from kayaks to paddle boards with the kayak kit and it did not disappoint. The set up videos were helpful and after a couple of minutes getting use to the new set up, we were on our way! Great quality boards, super stable and easy to carry. Super happy and already planning our next adventure!
I am a beginner SUPer and this is my first board purchase.
The online shopping experience was easy and I received my package in a week.
I took it out to Lake Austin for the first time last weekend. I filled it up to 18psi. The board is very stable and tracked well.
The paddle took a little getting used to, and the little clamp came loose as I was paddling.
Overall. this is a good board that I'll use for a long time.
I have five inflatables. Two Blackfins, two Towers, and I-Rocker and then the Athabasca from Wild Tribe. The advertising portrayed it as being as stiff as a hardboard. I wouldn’t say it’s any stiffer than any of my other inflatable boards, but it does achieve that stiffness with an inch and a half less thickness, which in a crosswind I think would be somewhat noticeable. It remains to be seen about the welded seams and if that’s a better method. It paddles fairly smooth and glides well. I do like the quality of the included paddle compared to the quality of the paddle that came with my other boards. I find every three-piece paddle to be two flexy at the last joint where the blade attaches. I always wrap that tightly with electrical tape which eliminates the wiggle but effectively makes it a two peace paddle unless you want to unwrap it and re-tape it every time you use it. The only negative I have and this is a personal thing, I feel like the shape, thinness, and coloration with the fake wood trim make it look too much like the Costco boards from Body Glove! This was given to me as a gift and it was purchased at the special deal price. Had I purchased it at the full price, I might not have been as pleased. But for the sale price, it is a very capable board.
Je me sens la queen des paddles !! haha Solide, pratique et stable ! Je suis très excitée de la saison en cours .J;adore les accesoires que je me suis procurer avec ! Une nouvelle passion
Merci Wild Tribe
I LOVE my new paddle board! It’s so light, stays straight in the water, very easy to maneuver, steady, and so many places for gear! 10/10 recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have had four paddle boards now and I can say I am pleased and satisfied with both new wild tribe purchases.
My Naish hard board will always be my favourite but the Columbia did not disappoint today. My group all tried and compared to the twin fish and red paddle they were on par for performance.
Really impressed with the quality and rigidity for an inflatable. My daughter and I really enjoyed tackling waves on Lake Erie sitting together. When the water was quiet she was great at showing off her standing, yoga and dance moves too. Only minor problem was missing lid for the repair kit glue. Otherwise very pleased and will likely buy a bigger board for me next.
J’ai hésité entre plusieurs marques avant d’acheter une Wild Tribe et je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat. Excellent produit !
After several delays with the courier service, my board was finally delivered in a broken box, but I'm happy to say the board was fine despite the rough handling. I've been out on it twice, and it's easy to handle and feels very stable. I have an electric pump that inflates and deflates the board without much effort on my part, which makes the outing more enjoyable. I'm very pleased that everything I needed to get out on the water was included (paddle, fins, ankle leash, and more). Also, the included backpack storage bag with wheels seems very durable and definitely makes it easier to transport the board. However, as a petite person, I find the hip belt doesn't go small enough, along with the lack of a chest strap means my shoulders are carrying all the weight, making it hard on the body (minus a star for this). I was pleasantly surprised at how light and easy it is to carry once inflated. Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality, and I would recommend this board to others.
It is a very good and stable beginner to intermediate paddle board. It needs to be another 6 to 12 inches longer to track straighter. We also put a stadium chair on it for kayaking which makes it very versatile. Comparing it to my 11'6" x 30" hardboard it was slower but still adequate. I would recommend it.
I purchased 2 Columbia 11’ touring boards and a kayak conversion kit. The products are top notch in quality and quite impressive. We have had them out and find they are easy to set up and tear down. All around 10 out of 10 for me. You can truly see the difference between these and cheaper boards at the lake. The profiles are lower the fins are better the paddles are light and well made and all the accessories are above what I expected to get in quality.
Je l’adore
Waiting for the water to warm up in the St. Lawerence to get my 1st paddle in. Everything came well packaged. Pump up time is quick. Board is definitely quality build! I do wish I had waited 2 weeks so I could have received the new additional offer of free dry bag, phone case and bottle holder. Overall very happy with the purchase.
Une planche de qualité à l'esthétique lèché. Un super service client et des conseils après ventre sur comment l'utiliser.
I ordered the Columbia Paddle board, the process was very smooth and really fast delivery ! I met a team member twice at the Adventure show in Toronto and knew for over a year now that id order a Paddle Board from this company and I am soo happy that I finally did! The bag is really nice quality too! Cant wait to try it out! Got an amazing deal as well!
