I took this to the beach today without bringing the instructions and after two attempts at catching air it was mostly inflated if you look at the picture it isnt exactly right but it still stayed inflated for over 3 hours

I was the first to sit in it and it does take a little while to stabilize yourself you will rock back and forth quite a bit but after i figured out a way to put my feet over the edge i was able to read comfortably for nearly an hour the ends of the tube are really nice for supporting your head

Putting it away was super easy you just unclip it and fold twice the long way then roll it up the short way to get it back into the bag

If the air starts to escape after a while an hour with one adult and two kids on it then it is easy to fix that problem
