Below are the features that make it stand out from the crowd. See the complete list of the best Paddle Boards here! Features iRocker is continuously tweaking its range of accessories for SUP boards with the goal of making your paddling experience that much more effortless. For its All-Around 10’ board, it made no exceptions. This package has what you need, but the array of options available as extra accessories from iRocker are impressive. Otherwise they’re continually improving their standard accessories. Thanks to the triple-layer composite PVC, iRocker SUPs are apparently “bombproof”. What it provides in practical terms is increased rigidity. That makes this 32 inch all-arounder very stable. The thick tail also helps, along with the 3 fins sitting so firmly in their boxes with little wobble. What differentiates the 10’ from the 11’ SUP board is the former’s superiority in terms of maneuverability. While it’s not the right board for racing, it’s most definitely the right board for cruising around at medium speed, playing around with step-back turns. With the weight reduced by 20%, maneuverability is much improved without seemingly taking away from the board’s stability. In its backpack at 34 pounds with all accessories, the iRocker 10’ is super convenient to carry. It can be neatly packed into the backpack, which is incredibly comfortable, and be transported to your vacation destination with minimum hassle or irritation. It’ll be easy to check-in on a plane too. Similarly, while inflated it can be thrown on the roof rack of your car with fins detached or stacked with other SUPs. Given the wide range of features this SUP board boasts, the price/quality ratio is one of the best ones we’ve seen. Add the supreme quality that makes it suitable for every paddler (under 6-feet) under the sun, and you’ve got yourself a good reason to invest in it without second-guessing it. Do we recommend it? If you happen to be 5’10 tall and weigh less than 370 pounds, we don’t see why this iRocker All-Around 10’ SUP board isn’t a great deal for you. Mix into the deal the 2-year warranty and the 60-day return policy, and you don’t have anything to lose. Whilst we can’t say enough good things about this board, you have to decide for yourself what SUP board meets your requirements the best.

How much time does it take to inflate the iRocker 10’ SUP board?
The double-chamber pump with triple action mechanism takes the credit for the relatively short inflation time. After a couple of tests, we found the sweet pumping spot of 6-7 minutes.
I’m 5’6″ and pretty much a beginner. Will be on a lake with chop from powerboats and a hill to descend/climb to access. I have read your reviews and others for the following boards. Any advice? I do not have great balance yet so I want a board that is plenty stable but I want room to improve, maneuverable and not slow. The ratings on these all seem very similar – is it down to cost and looks?
iRocker Cruiser 10’6″, Bluefin Cruise 10’8″, Thurso Waterwalker 10’6″, Gili Adventure 11′, iRocker All Around 10′ or 11′.
Hey Rene. An all rounder should be able to do everything and that’s why it’s good for a beginner. There’s quite a bit of nuanced separation though for the models you named. The Thurso Surf Waterwalker is a really stable board and is a great one to start on. It has a really good paddle too. It’s a tad heavy though for transport on your back so if you can wheel it, good. Both the iRocker and Bluefin will be better for paddling long distances. Of these two, the Bluefin 10-8 has a better paddle in the package. Price is not always the determining factor.
Hope that helps.
