What is the difference between iROCKER and Isle?
What is the main difference between iROCKER and Isle paddle boards? While Isle boards are lighter due to dual-layer construction, they may compromise on longevity. On the other hand, iROCKER boards come with triple-layer PVC construction, offering enhanced durability. GILI boards offer a stable ride with slightly more weight, making them slightly harder to carry but great for calm waters and new paddlers seeking confidence. ROCKER’s lightweight feel aids portability. GILI’s heavier build offers extra stability.

Is iRocker a good SUP brand?
Why We Recommend iRocker SUPs. Over the years, iRocker has proven itself to us (and our readers) time and again that they are producing high-quality and fun-to-paddle inflatable SUPs, accessories, and more, with a high value position for paddlers across a range of budget levels. For novice paddlers who want a good-quality SUP experience, I would recommend budgeting around $1,000 and looking for paddleboards in the middle of the price range. At this pricing tier you will begin to experience better performance on the water and the construction will be a bit higher quality than low-level boards.Inflatable Paddleboard Cons Because inflatables aren’t as rigid as solid boards, they also introduce a bit of flex when ridden. Because inflatable SUPs are light and physically larger than solid boards, they can be affected by wind and currents more easily, too. They take time to inflate and deflate.Paddle boards are expensive because making a SUP board that is durable, lightweight, and performs well requires the use of expensive materials and labor intensive manufacturing techniques.Why Is Paddle Board Thickness Important? An inflatable SUP needs to have a certain amount of thickness to ensure that it has enough rigidity and stability to support a rider’s weight on the water. However, if the board is too thick, then riders will have trouble feeling “connected” to the water.
