Review for McConks paddleboards
Verified owner
Tried the seat on my 12-8 go explore in Cornwall November 21, it comes with no instrado is a little fiddly to set up, but once done it is easy to fit again. The back rest gives excellent support, however if you have it placed centrally, the standing is more difficult. I wouldn’t use it long distance as a Kayak wold obviously be better, but as a short term seat in tougher conditions it is great, or as a front seat for children.
Super stable. Have since upgraded to something a little quicker.

Excellent board, minor issue with paddle bolts.
We purchased two of these boards last month and have used them several times in the intervening weeks. It comes with everything you’d need to get going and while we are relative amateurs I can’t see why you’d want anything else from a board. Certainly handles much better than any other we’re used in the past. Glad we went for McConks. The only downside is the paddle hardware, for which the bolts in the adjustment clips must come incredibly loosely fitting from the warehouse – so make sure you tighten them up immediately when you open the package (you’ll need a cross-head screwdriver). We lost three bolts and one cam-lock clip within minutes of unpacking the kit. However these are easy to replace – M4 bolts 12mm in length – go for A2 stainless steel and ideally hex head so you can adjust with the same tool for locking the fins. Seems strange to need a crosshead screwdriver (not provided) as well as hex key for this, could easily be remedied from factory by having everything hex. McConks carry spare cam-lock clips as perhaps this is a recurring issue?
In all, very happy and would definitely recommend. -

Early days and nothing to compare to. However very good so far, seems well made. First trip was to Crete! Just enough extra space and weight allowance in the bag for my other things.
If your paddles don’t fit neatly in the bag there a solution -talk to Andy. -
