Review of the Aquaplanet Allround 10 SUP — I've been out for a sunrise paddle boarding session on the updated 2026 version of one of the most talked-about beginner paddleboards on the UK market. This video covers everything in the box, the full specs, key features including the centre-fold design and included electric pump, and real-world performance on the water. The Aquaplanet Allround 10 is a 10-foot inflatable paddle board aimed at beginners and recreational paddlers. At 7.8kg it's one of the lightest boards at this size, and at £249 it includes an electric pump worth £80 on its own — making it one of the stronger value packages in the budget paddleboard category.

I Tested the Aquaplanet Allround 10 – Is This Beginner's Paddleboard Worth It?
The Claymore Capon 120H is a compact, wearable led light and one of the most versatile pieces of camping gear I've come across. At just 59g it's ultra-lightweight, yet delivers 500 lumens max brightness — making it one of the best camping lights available. With motion sensor activation, three lighting modes (focused, diffused, and red), and up to 90 hours of runtime, this little cap light is built for serious outdoor adventure. In this camping gear review I unbox the Capon 120H and take a first look at the build quality, key features, and whether this wearable light could replace your traditional head torch. 📦 WHAT'S IN THE BOX - Claymore Capon 120H - Pouch - Carabiner - USB Type-C Charging Cable ⚙️ KEY SPECS - Brightness: 30–500 lumens - Weight: 59g - Runtime: 2–90 hours - Charge time: 2 hours - USB Type-C rechargeable - IP54 Dust & weather resistant Claymore Capon 120H - Check it out at WildBounds https://stevecleverdon.com/recommends/claymore-capon-120h-wildbounds/ This item was gifted by WildBounds — not a sponsored video, just genuine thoughts. 📖 READ MORE ON THE BLOG stevecleverdon.com Claymore Capon 120H Review: Coming soon Best Head Torches: https://stevecleverdon.com/best-head-torches/ Everything else: https://stevecleverdon.com 📲 FOLLOW ALONG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steve_cleverdon/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@steve_cleverdon YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@stevencleverdon #ClaymoreCapon #CapLight #OutdoorGear #CampingGear #HeadTorch #GearReview #OutdoorLighting #Unboxing

Hey, I’m Steve

Gear reviewer & adventurer

I’ve hiked long-distance trails across four continents, spent more early mornings on a paddleboard than I can count, and tested more outdoor gear than my shed has room for. Based in East Sussex, I write honest reviews and practical guides for paddleboarding, hiking, and camping — all based on real-time outdoors, not manufacturer spec sheets.
