Loons Nest

Awesome!

I replaced a 6x18 water pad and will never look back. Not fussing with rolling up a mat on a boat is well worth it, not to mention how compact the Nest is when fully deflated. The 10-foot Loons Nest easily accommodates four adults with room to spare and the interior mesh doesn’t sag much at all, even with a fair amount of load. If you’re between sizes I don’t envision the 6 and 8-foot sizes being much more compact, storage-wise and recommend the 10. Better to have room and not use it than want/need it and not have it. Inflation/deflation is a breeze with the included hand pump and I’d recommend saving the money and skipping the portable air pump and purchasing something else for the lake/pool. Throw in a few extra bucks and get one of the chairs, which are awesome, too, And, I highly recommend a few cupholders, too. One thing I’d like to see Paddle North offer is a low-profile cupholder than can handle a small waterproof speaker, like a UE Wonderboom 4 or Sony XB100. For now, I’ll chop down a cupholder to expose my UE’s drivers and call it a day.

Slow to receive

Candidly we haven’t opened as the arrival was delayed and season pretty much over. Excited to open and toss is our lake next spring!

Amazing!

We love it! We bought a bunch of stuff, including 2 floating chairs, powered pump. All great!!! Very solid construction! Very good quality! If you boat on a lake like us, these things are vital!
