This kickboard is not for adults as it describes...the holes where your hands are supposed to go are too small for adult hands. I purchased this for a 87 years old male who loves to swim and is an avid fisherman. The board soaks up quite a bit of water so it takes some time to dry. While the board works ok, it feels extremely flimsy in the water. The handles are low and not that comfortable to use. I gave it a 2 star because of the amount of water that itobsorbed and the fact that it should be ploished or water proofed or something.. the small uncomfortable handles and....It is definately for children and not adults...I recommend it for kids. the back pack it come with is neat!
