iROCKERNautical Inflatable Paddle Board

I had previously bought a cheapo 4" board which I used once and got rid of immediately. This is leagues ahead and has all the features I need and I use it frequently on the North sea and love everything about it. It is excellent value for money and zero quality defects and the double action pump is something other big name brands dont include at even double the price. A friend bought the more expensive iRocker at the same time, again excellent but £200 more expensive and Im more than happy with the Nautilus.This knocks the socks off other boards in this price range and other brands costing a lot more.

I first heard of iRocker from my friend of 30 plus years. Except for the pump and valve which i had problems with when he loaned me his iRocker 11" 6, the quality of the material was good.That was when after 3 months of use that i decided to get one for myself.When it arrived, i discovered the flaws. (See picture). It's just not satisfying to see when you have paid an above average amount.Similarly, i had problems with the pump. It was not able to pump up the Nautical sup. The valve had issues. A kind passer by helped me to hold the pump down while i pumped. What if there was no one around? Then my launch must be aborted. I have experience managing other pumps of other brands and it was a straighforward push it, lock and pump.So i was very very disappointed. I had to return it all the way to the USA. So, i have used two models of iRocker and both had issues with the pump. Would i continue to use the brand? Not sure of that.

Decided to buy a board instead of keep hiring. Really looked into which board and read lots of different reviews. Went for this one as it was a No.1 seller and had great reviews for board and pump and I definitely wasnt disappointed. I dont have much upper strength but managed to get this quite easily to 15psi and also carry it. Great on the water - really stable and still had speed, great lightweight paddle. Would definitely recommend. Did see one bad review saying cheaply made n didnt stay inflated. Makes me wonder if they were just unlucky or received wrong board!! I even received email from the company to check I was happy with my purchase and to get I touch if I needed assistance!!! Best present I've ever bought for myself - thanks iRocker:)

I did lots of research before taking the plunge in buying my own SUP. Price and quality were the main factors. This is a really good quality inflatable board from a great brand and I’m really pleased with it. Pumped to 15PSI and it’s very rigid. I took my 6 year old daughter out with me for a paddle today and it was no problem. The carry/grab handle makes it relatively easy to carry even for me and I’m only 5”4. The board also has plenty of d-rings which is great to add a kayak seat.

Simple to use , easy to set up and pack away - actually fits back into the bag comfortably, with space for a few other bits like a towel or two. Very easy to use in the water , as a family first time SUP , 11 year old and adults , hold child and adult at same time comfortably. Great fun in the sea and river !
