Multiple D-rings
The versatility of the SUP is further increased with super solid, stainless steel d-rings present on every side of the board. There’re 15 d-rings in total. Six of them are located at the front, used bungees.
There’re four d-rings on either side of the paddleboard and another one, located at the rear end, connecting the safety leash.
All the d-rings attachments help secure a kayak seat or any additional gear that you might be carrying.

Front bungees
Positioned in the front is an extensive bungee storage section that gives you more room. This space can be used to store your padding accessories, extra outfits, dry bag, water bottle, or shoes.
Centre Carry Handle
A strong middle carry handle is situated on the top deck for increased portability. This carry handle has a neoprene cover connected to it.
The cover is comfortable to grip and permits the simple carrying of the paddleboard in and out of the water.
There’s certainly space for more padding on the neoprene cover, an issue that might be solved in future models. Though a neoprene cover is a small detail on the handle, it certainly does make a huge difference.
If you’ve ever used a conventional nylon handle to carry your board, you’ll surely know how uncomfortable the experience can be.
2 Attached Side Fins
Around the more extensive center fit are two smaller but convenient side fins. Creating a stable back end, the tipple fin system permits simple turning and offering of the paddleboard, but this can slightly reduce the speed of the paddleboard during paddling.
The triplefin configuration adds to the versatility of the paddleboard as well.
8” removable center fin
Atoll Desert Sand 11’ Paddle Board includes an innovative tool-less fin system. The more prominent center fin is connected to the paddleboard with only a screw and bolt. Hence, no tools are needed for fin assembly.
The fin has a durable and compact design. For customized paddling, the position of the fins can be adjusted – back, forward, or center. This helps in growing the tracking performance and rear stability of the paddleboard.

Back Grab Handle
There’s an additional grab handle located near the tail of the paddleboard. This helps pull the SUP out of the water or grab it if you fall in the water.

Diamond Groove Eva Traction Pad
The top deck of the board is large enough for you to sit on comfortably. It’s covered with a long and durable EVA foam traction pad. The diamond groove on the traction pad gives you a slid grip.
Assembly
Since the hand pump included in the paddleboard package has a double-action mode, you can inflate your paddleboard to 6 PSI using this feature. Then you’ll have to switch to the usual way so that pumping to 15 PSU is simple for you.
Inflating the air pump to 15PSI takes almost seven minutes, but this time can vary depending on how quick you’re pumping. There’s no need to increase the board to 20 PSI. At 15, the stiffness of the paddleboard is exceptional, and it can bear a total of 350lbs of weight once inflated.
The tool-less fin system permits easy and smooth assembly of the center fin. There’s no need for any other tools! The hand-pumping action is a fine warm-up before you hit the water for some paddleboard fitness training.
It is time-consuming at first, but the assembly process becomes easy and quick once you get used to it.
We love that the limited addition Atoll Desert Sand 11’ Paddle Board comes with a universal US fin box. This means that you can swap your middle fin with any other one.
Once the board is fully inflated, you have the middle fin into the fix box, adjust your paddle and connect your safety leash to the rear D-ring.
After that, you’re good to go. This setup process takes only 10 minutes!
