COSTWAY Go Plus SUP Review

This COSTWAY Go-Plus SUP is best for traveling, particularly if you plan on frequenting the beach on your holidays or vacation.

The SUP is only 19 lbs, so you’ll have no problem carrying the paddleboard and managing it in waves.

COSTWAY Go Plus SUP is a cheap and generic all-around, mainly for flat water conditions, that is long enough for bigger paddlers to use but, at the exact moment, too narrow for bigger paddlers to enjoy from the get-go… probably too unsafe for a considerably bigger paddler.

Features COSTWAY GoPlus SUP 

Also, this SUP is constructed from highly durable EVA material that’s best for creating friction so that you can stay on the board easily while surfing.

This COSTWAY Go Plus SUP is made with three fins that’ll help boost the balance and performance you’ll experience on the board.

Two of these fins are situated in a fixed location, while the final one can be moved so that you can find the right balance for your needs.

This COSTWAY Go Plus SUP has several other essentials: a manual pump, a repair kit, a carry backpack, and an adjustable paddle.

The paddle is 67″ but can be expanded to 83″ if needed. There’s also a 4-point bungee system on the front of the paddleboard that you can utilize to store your small things.

What is COSTWAY Go plus SUP designed for?

The COSTWAY Go plus SUP board is made for:

• Who – paddlers weighing up to 265lbs, ideally around 220 pounds or less
• What – all-around (more for flatwater otherwise viable in almost every water condition to some extent

The weight capacity is reported to be 265 lbs, but larger paddlers will be highly unsafe for the paddleboard this size, and the experience from the COSTWAY Go plus SUP would suffer greatly.

The optimal paddler weight would be around 220 lbs or less because of the width and poor rigidity. This does not exclude bigger paddlers, though – as long as you are up to the challenge, you will be golden.

Due to the rigidity and the paddleboard design, it is undoubtedly meant more for flatwater conditions. What would occur to your choppy conditions? It does not matter if you are a smaller paddler here – the chop would like to make the unstable.

The nose of the paddleboard is rounded and with a slight rocker that does not precisely cut through small water waves, and the paddleboard overall is just narrow.

What is COSTWAY Go plus SUP made of?

Since the PVC is mentioned in the singular –

• One layer of PVC material with drop-stitch material at the core

Everything considered (weight capacity, potential weight, price, etc.), I am convinced that the COSTWAY Go Plus SUP is made of one-layer PVC material combined with the standard drop stitch core material.

Also, the 6″ thickness is not achieved by having ticker layers of PVC material. Instead, the thickness is achieved by having more space in the middle. With that said, the rigidity of the COSTWAY Go plus SUP comes to my attention.

It’ll likely not be as rigid as a stiff board, but for a smaller paddler, it’d be stiff enough in flat water conditions.

For a bigger paddler, though, it mightn’t be rigid enough unless you pump it too much, which risks the longevity of the paddleboard at the cost of a short-term uncompromising experience.

Performance

The COSTWAY Go plus SUP can be characterized by: Speed

The COSTWAY Go plus SUP is narrow and long, allowing you to build up more speed. Though some things bring down the potential rate, you’d go with it. It might feel like something is off as your ride.

It would not track nearly as refined as it would due to the relatively small, more giant single fin made of poor-quality stuff. Regarding the stability of the paddleboard, unless you were a smaller paddler, it would not be that great.

The tail is narrow, making the paddleboard tip from side to side more, and the paddleboard itself is just a little… Maneuverability is even snappy for a bigger paddler who can more easily move their weight to the back. The COSTWAY Go plus SUP would be rigid enough for a smaller paddler, but it might not feel ultra-rigid sometimes for a bigger one. The COSTWAY Go plus SUP rigidity should be sufficient for flatwater paddling.

Main Features

The COSTWAY Go plus SUP has just one color code (overall white with primarily blue color and some black elements).

• Point mounted four bungee net – Closer to the nose of the paddleboard, you will find a four-point mounted cargo area made up of a bungee cord. You can easily slip things below it, essentially.
• Carry handle – In the middle of the COSTWAY Go plus SUP, you will find a relatively primary carry handle made of nylon it looks.
• Four d-rings – The COSTWAY Go plus SUP has two d-rings on either side of the paddleboard. They are more on the rear side, so I am unsure if shoulder straps would work with them. I have also sued the space being smaller for most attachable seats to adjust, so I am not entirely sure why they are there, ironically.
• Deck pad – The deck pad of the COSTWAY Go plus SUP is made of relatively soft non-slip material (textured with stripped grooves, eve foam).
• D-ring rear – Just behind the inflation valve is the one D-ring for towing, connecting an ankle leash or an anchor to it, or what have you.
• Inflate valve – There is an inflation valve at the rear of the COSTWAY Go plus SUP. This is where you inflate the paddleboard with air.
• D-ring bottom – On the flip side, the final D-ring is only behind the fin. This can be used for connecting an anchor to it, for instance.
• Fin – The COSTWAY Go plus SUP has just one larger (not significantly larger) fin, which is likely made of plastic. Those two aspects of the fin combine to make it a relatively low-quality generic fin that does not give superb tracking.

End words

The COSTWAY Go plus SUP package includes all you need to get on the water beside the leash and PFD.

The paddleboard is otherwise very light all-round and can serve the purpose of paddlers weighing around 220 lbs or less.

You might want to play it does not arrive with any defects because I do not think I got the impression that there was a warranty or enough customer support for it from Go Plus.
