I bought 2 irocker isups due to the quality and guarantee offered by the brand, one of them failed after 2 months under normal use conditions and irocker did not want to honor the guarantee with childish and unpleasant behavior. So spending more than $600USD on an isup and having to throw it in the trash doesn't make sense, buying a good one for $300 does, especially if it fails before a year and depending on the brand still honors its warranty.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're all coming from the same place or getting the materials from the same source. These were $126 each. I couldn't even build one that cheap. So far It's been pretty good. I notice isups a lot more now and I haven't seen anything to justify the outrageous price variances. If they're made in the USA with US materials, I could understand the steep differences but otherwise it all seems trivial: d ring location, maybe a few feet of extra Bungie, marketing etc
Im curious. The leaf blower made quick work of that. How much of the video did you edit out when you were pumping and building pressure by hand? Im wondering if i should buy an electric leafblower with a stubby nozzel and just finish it off with the hand pump to save time. They seem to take 10 minutes by hand at a lesiurely rate. In total how long did it take you to fully inflate? Also wondering if you know to pump up the board the rest of the way on the water since water is typically cooler than air so it condenses, making the psi drop so you need to top off once waterborne for maximum efficiency and perfoemance. That goes for all inflatable boats
It took about 30 seconds of leaf blower and maybe 3 minutes tops of good pumping. I pumped it up to 15 psi and the cool water didn't seem to make a noticable difference. When I use low pressure rafts I notice a lot of deflation with the temperature difference. I would definitely get a leaf blower, vacuum, or cordless air compressor with a high volume option; whatever you'll use the most outside of an inflator. I watched a gal spend easily 3 times as long inflating her board by hand.
@@projectsdontstop8441 well thank you much, looks like I will be buying myself.. erm I mean my grandmother a leafblower... which I will use for all its intended purposes 🤣
@@projectsdontstop8441 The SUP you bought is too small for the average person. According to the dimensions, your SUP is intended more for women or juniors. A quality SUP, it has a volume of 350-370 l and a length of about 12', and you also need a powerful pump for it.
@@pufinko123 This one seems to work just fine and my leaf blower fills it pretty quick. The pumps aren't the highest quality but I've got one for my kites that's a little better. None have impressed me. I assume it's a little like surfing; different sized boards for different applications and skill
You're holding the paddle backwards. The blade should actually curve forward for paddleboarding.
Thanks for sharing and I loved the scripture share. Looks like fun. Would you still recommend it? Thanks!
Thanks! We actually use them a lot. I got them for a project and ended up just using it as is

You can get a 10ft. Bifanua SUP for $104. I believe that is the cheapest one available.
Should I get that one?? I’m hesitant when it comes to buying it
Did you say ( at 2:26 ) that it came with a "double stroke anus pump"?
....and it's still the cheapest on Amazon?
I'm also scratching my head on that pronunciation. I think it's should be A-sun? Lol
Bwuahahahahahaha XD🤣
That's what i heard!
Double stroke what pump?
Anus 😂😂😂 i cant A I sunns yes? Or may be oronounced otherwise who the hell knows 😂
