Looking to purchase this for family who are moving to Key West. They are beginners. Would this work for them?

If you are looking for something to use a lot, I would go to a dive shop and get fit for a mask. I have an older mask that I got at a dive shop that is much more comfortable. The fins were very comfortable, and easy to pack. I would recommend for anyone that wants a set that will easily fit in a suitcase.

My answer definitively is YES. This ítem has really good caracteristics, it's easy to use and would be a nice gift. I have used many types of snorkeling sets and this one is one of the best. I hope my answer helps you.

The mask, snorkel, and fins are great. There is a small hard plastic clip that holds the snorkel to the mask and it broke first time out on two of ours. We went to a local shop and were able to purchase inexpensive replacement parts that were not rigid and that worked just fine. The part just needs to be more flexible than the one that comes with the set. It is an inexpensive easy fix.

This is an extremely good option for a beginner. You hand launch. It can fly very slowly and it's tougher than it looks.

The Quest should work fine. It'll be very large but shouldn't be a problem for him. The board is extremely sturdy and won't get dinged up from regular use. I got the board for my 13yr. old daughter, she's tiny (84lbs), and has no problems with it. My 11yr old son also uses the board and loves it. I ride it and it's very smooth and maneuverable. To give the board a little more maneuverability I would suggest loosening the trucks a bit, they come from the factory very tight. I researched longboards extensively before Christmas and found that the Quest was one of the top five cruisers available. I understand why after making the purchase. I also saved big bucks compared to the other boards. This isn't really a beginner board per se. It's great for beginners but it's also a great long term board. If I can be of further assistance just let me know.

I think so. I bought it for my younger brother, and haven't touched it in a while, but I remember them being easy to play. The keys aren't as solid/hard as your traditional piano, but definitely kid friendly.

LOVE IT! This works so great. We live in Belize and use it all the time and you should have no problem with your paddle boat. Once you get the biat strapped on its so easy and light! I do suggest buying some heaver straps if you using it for anythng bigger but everyhing that comes with this works. Snap on the wheels, strap on the boat and wheel away, over san, rocks...easy day! One person can easily handle it once strapped on tight, but two make it easier to go over larger rocks...just life, then set back down. Again, we love it. Oh and folds right back up and strapped to out kayack so it does not get stolden. LOVE IT! This works so great.

Yes. It is a decent beginner board. Cheap enough. If he is good he will graduate to a better one, if not, it won't make that much dent on the wallet.

My wife and I used it on a cruise a few months ago... 4 islands in the Caribbean and no issues whatsoever.I used it mostly in the 3-5 foot range, but my wife was able to dive down while snuba'ing to about 15-20ish or so. (I think that's a little over the recommended depth, but no issues. We were very careful when in shallows for sand getting into the closing mechanism and also followed the cleaning procedures after we got back to the boat. (I also opened up both slot covers just to dry any random moisture out also.)Even the deep pictures came out pretty decently with less light, very impressed. We had some disposables that were absolutely terrible in comparison!

I got it to learn on. It was a great buy. Real easy to use. I think you should be okay.

I think it will work for any age group who wants to move/dance. the easy, medium & hard difficulty levels is great for anyone's learning/foot coordination, as well as physical/endurance ability (easy moves very slow).

It is great for beginners and advanced kayaking. We have 3 kayaks and multiple paddles and we really enjoy this paddle and for the price you can't beat it!

It is OK for beginners it is compact but it will get u started. Pedals need to be on a hard surface for best results

Its decent for a starter kit and they would use it for awhile. Personally there are cheaper sets for somebody just starting out, but if they'll play it this is a great kit!

Yes. I bought it for my son who is a beginner. Plays now as much as you. Big difference from the standard paddles that cam with the table. We think it will suit him for a while.

We bought this for our 11 yo and he loves it. It is a little challenging to set up but with some adult supervision and help it is relatively easy to use. He's been taking it out every clear night and it's getting easier every time he tries. I would say it's a great purchase for a beginner.

"Three ?'s. Would this be overkill for a first-timer? No. How would this compare with the BH SS2? I do not know. Would this work well at the beach? Yes Thanks!"

I have it and I think it is fine. It is hard to put together--you really need to balance the skins when you tighten. But all in all it is a great deal! I would doubt it would travel well--but for at home practice it is great! You will want to mute the kick--it is a bit hollow.

Yes! Using it with Piano Wizard Academy & it is great. Saved $100 on Piano Wizard by opting not to get their 4 octave keyboard & for $149 more got the YPG 235 76 key.
