Tried out our new Sunchill float yesterday! I was tired of having the lily pad take up the rear platform and the sunchill fits in a bag (when deflated) and I can place it in a storage compartment. I’m pretty impressed, the dual action pump gets it pumped up in a couple minutes or less and has a PSI gauge so you know when to stop. We had a few people come up and ask us what it was yesterday at Mozingo! I also saw a newer, white Yamaha 210 series, the wife talked to them at the ramp, didn’t get their name but I will make sure they join the forum when we see them next.

I only got a couple photos of our fearless daughter going backwards off the swim platform, so enjoy haha.

How would you compare it to one of those bognflosting oasis mat things?

We chose this over the mats because we still like to be in the water, I’ve seen 8 adults in a sunchill before and it still floats! And it only weighs like 20lbs when it’s in the bag with pump.
 
We saw one of those at the boatshow this year, thought it was a really cool idea. We haven't been using our full island as much as we've been using regular tubes so might switch to this.
 
Just looked it up, that thing is cool but not for that price 700 bucks is a bit much

I was going to look it up.....$700....too steep for me!

Bought ours at local boat show this past Spring for $500, so there are some deals to be had if you are lucky. We love our...SO MUCH quicker to both inflate and store than the island. Seems indestructible thus far after a dozen uses by my 4 boys and multiple adults. I use my 12v SUP pump and it's inflated in 2 minutes max.
 
I Got this a couple years ago it was cheaper then forget what I paid but the kids love it so it’s worth it.
 
Thanks for sharing! Always nice to know what works and what doesn't out there - especially for some of the premium prices that stuff costs.
 
We love our Sunchill. Makes a nice "pool" in the lake for our youngest boy!
