Performance Analysis
Stability
For an inflatable board, the iRocker stability is only bested by a few other boards that cost significantly more. With that being said, the iRocker All-Around 11′ is 11′ long x 32″ wide x 6″ tall and can easily handle flat water and chop from boat wakes.
Glide Performance
The glide performance on the iRocker 11 was good for an inflatable board on flat water but is not nearly as good as a hardtop board.
Maneuverability
The maneuverability was very nice and easy enough for any beginner to make turns in any direction.
Ease of Transport
The iRocker 11 comes in a nice backpack that makes it easy to transport before inflated. Once inflated it is very lightweight and has a nice center handle for carrying the board to the water.
Ease of Inflation
The pump on the iRocker 11 is about average. The speed of the pump isn’t the quickest but it does have a universal nozzle which makes sharing pumps easy. If you want a speedier inflation, then consider purchasing an electric pump.
Value
Overall the iRocker 11 is a fantastic bang for your buck with amazing build quality, stability, and easily transported. You cannot go wrong with the iRocker 11 if you are looking for an inflatable paddle board at a reasonable price.
