I've been paddling for nearly 10 years. This is my 2nd inflatable, but I have tried roughly 8 others over the years that belong to friends and family members. I can say for certain the quality of this GILI is top-notch. I previously had a board that was nearly double the price and it recently imploded during inflation at merely 8 PSI. I paddle 5+ miles every time I go out which is at least 2 times per week during the season. As you can imagine, my expectations were high when I set out to replace my prior beloved board. So far GILI has met every one of those expectations. This board is firm, quite stable, yet lean enough to offer good speed and great tracking and enable me to do long distances in an efficient manner. Anesthetically it looks great as well. Customer service is fantastic too. All in all, I'm quite pleased with my experience so far and look forward to using the board regularly once the weather warms up. Well done, GILI team!
I was concerned when I unpacked this iSUP and saw it only had one fin (I thought it had 2 side fins also) and also that this more narrow board would be difficult to balance on, but I was pleasantly surprised. My first ride I went out in choppy water and balanced well and didn’t fall off. Plus, this board is much faster than my previous iSUP and tracks really well, which is exactly what I was looking for. I guess the side fins arent needed! Can’t wait to take it out with the kayak seat! Great iSUP. Recommend for those looking for speed, going long distances, and perhaps even participating in some paddle board races!
Great looking board and lots of features. Can tell that there is a lot of attention to detail. Very sturdy and super light. Got it with the carbon fiber paddle. Paddle is really light and is well made. Love our “Air 10.6”! But this is a whole step up. Was really impressed with the stability and quality of the “Air” and the “Meno” is even more impressive. Was intimidated on buying 12’ 6” board, but it is the perfect size for speed and agility. Great company with a great cause. Customer support is top notch!
Love the size and the quality of this board and all components. Carbon fiber paddle is really nice. Took it out in relatively windy / choppy conditions and it did really well. Thankfully the tag on the pump forewarns you that the pressure does not register until 7psi. Being my first iSUP, it took a lot more air than I was expecting. However, it was easy to pump and didn't take long. Deflating was easy and it was easy to put board back in the nice high quality bag. Only downside is that the color is actually much more lighter blue then what the pictures online suggest (more turquoise / teal). HOWEVER, once you take it outside it's not nearly as bad and looks much better, as you can see in my picture.
I finally got this board out on the water after a miserable November here in Seattle. What an awesome experience. I went from a 11' L x 34" W beginner board to the 12'6" Meno. It was such a pleasure to have the increase in speed and efficiency without losing much, if any, stability. The electric pump will spoil me as it is much easier than using the hand pump. Overall quality of the board and components is great. I went with the carbon paddle with nylon blade and it is stiff and light. I am really looking forward to getting this board out more this winter.
Well ... I am little sore today because I spent a lot of time playing on the Meno in windy and choppy conditions yesterday, more than I planned because I had so much fun. My wife just laughed ..... because I've always preferred kayaks and did not like SUPs, and now I don't want to stop playing. But a board like Meno, with speed, stability, and the kayak conversion, is awesome. I feel more connected to the water and the environment around me than in a cockpit of a kayak. Meno 12'6 is a great board and its stability blew me away. Blew me away. Wind, chop from boats and ... I did not fall in! This is only my second board so I have a lot to learn, appreciate Gili's educational resources, care for the planet, so I look forward to many new adventures with my Meno. I also appreciate Gili's customer service.
Got the original Meno last year, then saw the new Meno touring this year and once it went on sale for Labor Day it was time I just got it. Very similar features to the original, I love the addition of the paddle holder straps. The speed and glide is amazing on the touring. The only con is that the deck pad has recessed lines in the black and should have left a 1/16” to 1/8” channel where stripes meet logo to allow water to drain. Overall I love both my Menos for different places and uses.

High quality good looking board loaded with features. Surprisingly very stable for the width (31in.) This board glides through rough water with zero lag. Extremely versatile for all riders and preferences. The four action mounts are a plus. They allow for the use of a variety of accessories at the same time. Total package steal with all the upgrades that come with the Meno. This is my third GILI board and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of all the boards. Highly recommended.
This is the first paddle board I have ever used. Therefore, I can’t compare it to other brands on the market. I have used it about a dozen times now and I’m very happy with the board. I thought it would be a little harder to adjust to, but I haven’t fallen off it yet. The first time out I was less balanced, but I managed just fine. I have mostly used it as a tool for exercising my core. Between balancing yourself while standing and aggressive paddling, it provides an excellent workout. I’ve also brought it out on a 4 mile paddle down SIlver Springs and it performed excellent. I used the cooler bag that was included in the package I bought and it kept ice for hours. I used the manual pump once. Regardless of who you buy a board from, if you buy an inflatable, I highly recommend buying a good quality electric pump. I wonder if having a triple fin configuration would help with tracking when using the board in windy conditions. Once again, I don’t have any experience with other boards, so this is speculation. I'm 9' 5" and 150 lbs. Pro’s: Shipping and delivery was as expected. The board appears to be well made. Fit and finish is excellent. The surface is comfortable to stand on and grip is good The length allows for easy storage of gear and it’s easy to lay down fully during lazy sessions. Easy to paddle and more stable than I expected. Tracks well and reasonably easy to turn (as long as it’s not windy). Came with multiple fins to match your paddling conditions The board is very light for its size. The paddle straps along the edge are convenient. The included carbon fiber paddle is light and it appears to be of good quality. It’s nice to have options for fin depth. As compared to my former sit-inside kayak, a paddle board provides flexibility to change body positions (standing, on your knees, sitting and even lying down). Con’s: The 9” fin did not fit into the fin seat. It fits into the slot, but I was unable to push down the locking tab. I reached out to Gili and they sent me the dolphin fin as a replacement, but it didn’t fit as well. I ultimately set one of the smaller fins next to the larger fin(s) and used it as a template. I used a small file to take off enough material to match the dimensions of the smaller fin's rear notch. It took around 15 -20 minutes to get them where I could properly seat the locking tab. This is a relatively minor issue, but one that needs addressed. Overall I'm very much satisfied with my purchase. The Father's Day package I purchased also included an anchor, fishing rod holder and kayak seat. I have not used those items yet.
I cant wait to glide up and down So Flo! The carbon sides and light weight are perfect for me, a 100 pound petite lady!

Perfect, came in a timely fashion, everything is perfect...can't wait to hit the water...love the board, luv the cause....ty
I bought this for my Florida vacation. The rolling backpack is very good for air travels. I love mounts on this board. I can carry many things with it. My old board had only one bungee at front section. This one is way better. I also like MENO Turning has only single fin. I don't like 2nd & 3rd fin. They are unnecessary for me. This board has good balance. As stable as shorter ones and faster than them. 31 width is good compromise to be versatile. You can race with this for inflatable divisions. Overall, the designers and engineers of GILI made good decisions for this model. It has many features that paddlers want. I had spend many hours comparing boards of other brands and decided to buy this. I made a right choice. I love this board and will be paddling on this for many years to come.
My girflriend and I had our first experience ever paddle boarding on the Gili Meno. Rather impressed with this board. It has the feel of a solid board and it super light weight. We had a great time and are looking forward to learning how to NOT fall off while standing :-D
