Is this the right place to ask about a blow up toy?

[westernman]

Looking for recommendations for a blow up paddle board suitable for some one 195cm tall and105kg.

It should come with its own bag for packing along with the pump it should fit into the Ryanair carry on luggage rules for cabin baggage.
And come from an EU supplier as I am resident in the EU.

Thank the lord you said board ? For some reason our local pool shops seem to have them in stock try a pool equipment shop.

You might find for someone your size and weight that you'll need two - and use them like a pair of skis!

Decathlon have a wide range, their own gear is good value but I doubt very much you'll get one and a pump past Ryanair baggage police...

 

[Hoolie]

I don't think Ryanair comes into the picture as the OP lives on the Costa Brava and Decathlon is an EU company ... ...

Ryanair does come into the picture as I want to take it with me when I fly to Greece later this year. As cabin carry on.

They are quite big as cabin carry on...and the paddle may also present problems...I would buy it in Greece that way you only need to carry it one way..

Seldom, if ever, was a more ridiculous, more ineffective, more self aggrandising and poseurish means of 'transport' ever devised.
May they soon be relegated to the pits with similar short-lived aberrations like Raleigh Choppers, Sinclair C5s , space hoppers and pogo sticks.

The numbers I see in Dorset would seem to indicate differently. Not the best of days today due to wind, but quite a few out. Less wind tomorrow possibly so more paddleboards getting in the way of boats confined to a narrow channel.

Every season more and more boats are using paddle boards as tenders

Just as useless as a sailing boat for getting from A to B in this age of the ICE (infernal combustion engine).

Cabin baggage or in the hold?

What's wrong with Rayleigh Choppers?

Ok, a sudden stop and that gear lever would have you hitting the high notes, but despite that, one of the best bikes ever made.

I was king of of the park when i was 8 years old.

But I’m the only svelte person here...and I can’t stand up on one for love nor money...

Try here - good value, I bought 2, they seem fine unless you fancy yourself as a 'serious' paddler when it seems for an inflatable plank you pay £1000 or more !

Check it in through Oversize Luggage.

Blow up toys have two sizes when packed...the size it comes from the factory...and the size that you can squeeze it down to with all your effort...
