HOW TO BUY A PADDLE BOARD PERFECT FOR YOUR BODY TYPE

All of the size, shape and color options can make the paddle board shopping process a little confusing. Just like surfing, the most important thing to do is buy a board that fits your body type. Don’t panic! We’re here to help. With some expert guidance and the right paddle board, you’ll be a pro in no time.

The perfect board for you is based on your body, skill level and range of interests. Starter boards like the iRocker Cruiser check all the boxes for a beginner, while advanced Blackfin packages will take your SUP game to the next level.

MATCH YOUR BODY SIZE TO YOUR BOARD MEASUREMENTS

Match Your Body Size to Your Board Measurement. Make your life a whole lot easier and purchase a board that can easily support your height and weight. Factors like buoyancy and balance depend on this perfect match. If you want to use your paddle board for advanced activities like surfing and racing, you should keep a few more factors in mind.

ISUP INFORMATION TO HELP WITH YOUR PURCHASE

Understand your hull choices. Paddle boards either have a displacement hull or a planing hull. V-shaped displacement hulls swiftly cut through the water, which makes them perfect for advanced SUPers. Planing hulls are flat and wide, which makes them perfect for beginners learning to balance. Pro tip: displacement hulls are built for speed and planing hulls are great for stability. Since you’re a beginner, go for the planing hull.

Know the difference between solid and inflatable SUPs.We started making inflatable stand up paddle boards because we believe in their clear superiority. Although, solid SUPs do have their pros. If you want to use your board for competitive surfing or racing, a hard SUP is a good option. If you’re new to the sport or have little kiddos, an iSUP is the obvious choice. Inflatable boards are easier to transport and a whole lot more durable. Win, win.

Board weight and volume capacity are key factors.This is hands down the most important purchasing criteria! Pay attention to board specs provided by the retailer. Take a look at the iRocker website for clear outlines of maximum capacities.

YOUR GO-TO GUIDE ON WHAT TO WEAR WHILE PADDLE BOARDING

Paddle boarding locations from the Shetney Islands in Scotland to the lush coastlines of the Green Sea require certain SUP gear depending on the season. Not only do we build great inflatable boards to make travel easy, but we equip you with the right gear and advice to ensure a successful trip.

SUPing requires a bit more preparation than strapping on your leash and finding your balance on the board. If you’re planning a full-day or weekend trip with your friends, things can go wrong very quickly if you don’t pack the right clothing and board accessories. Read on for our iRocker crew’s guide to SUP trips in varying climates.

PREP YOURSELF FOR A WARM WEATHER SUP GETAWAY

Packing a bag for a summer SUP trip is far less complicated than preparing for a trip in the middle of winter. When the sun is in the sky and temperatures hover right around 20 degrees Celsius, all you need to worry about is protecting your skin and staying hydrated.

Bring swimwear that promotes mobility and allows for a quick dip when the mood strikes

Lather your skin with a strong SPF sunscreen to block harmful UV rays that reflect off the water (pro tip: throw your bottle of sunblock into your deck cooler bag so it’s nice and cool when you rub it on your skin)

Invest in high-quality moisture-wicking, SPF shirts and shorts to stay cool and refreshed your whole trip

A wide-brimmed hat will protect your eyes and face from strong UV rays

Attach your sunglasses to a sunglass strap so your shades stay safely attached to your body while exploring

Water shoes are a great idea if you’re paddling in a lake, river or pond where you may walk along the bottom

Don’t forget to pack plenty of ice, water and a water bottle that will remain icy cold all day

Stay energized with healthy snacks

COLD WEATHER SUPING REQUIRES SERIOUS PLANNING

We can’t think of anything more exhilarating than SUPing around one of the UK’s beautiful bodies of water on a crisp winter day. Of course, that excitement can pose many problems if you don’t properly prepare. The iRocker team is here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Protect yourself with a high-quality wetsuit built for colder climates. It’s important to purchase one at least four mm thick to receive optimal protection in the chilly wind and water.

A drysuit is an absolute must if you’re visiting a location with temperatures below seven degrees Celsius. While drysuits provide airtight protection from the elements, they provide zero insulation. Layer up underneath to stay warm.

Stay cozy with a thermal shirt and pants. SUPing in cold weather can get uncomfortable very quickly if you don’t wear the right materials. High-quality long underwear will keep you warm and prevent overheating.

Neoprene booties and mittens are your best friend when trying to regulate body temperature. Invest in booties at least two mm thick and gloves with grips built specifically for SUPing.

EXCITING ACCESSORIES TO TAKE YOUR SUP ADVENTURE TO THE NEXT LEVEL

While a cooler deck bag and a kayak bundle aren’t necessary for a successful SUP trip, they certainly provide an element of fun that you wouldn’t have without them. Take a look at some of our favorite add-ons for paddle board trips in all types of climates.

The cooler deck bag isn’t just fun, it’s a practical accessory for your all-day paddling adventure. The cooler is water-resistant, fits everything you need and easily straps to your iRocker. Win, win, win.

Convert your iSUP into a kayak to fill your weekend with a variety of activities.

Heading out of town for the weekend? However you plan to get there, the premium carry bag is the easiest and safest way to store your SUP along t

5 WAYS TO A STRONGER IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH SUP

#1: PADDLE FOR YOUR MUSCLES

#2: PADDLE TO BURN CALORIES

#3: PADDLE FOR HEART HEALTH

#4: PADDLE TO BEAT STRESS

#5: PADDLE FOR SUNSHINE AND VITAMIN D

#1: PADDLE FOR YOUR MUSCLESIf you’ve got a steady SUP habit going already, then you know how beneficial SUP is for muscle tone, core strength and overall health. If you’re new to SUP, you might be surprised at what a serious workout an hour of paddling is. Stand up paddle boarding will give you a good full-body workout. Best of all, it really works your core muscles. All of that work adds up to improved body balance, too.#2: PADDLE TO BURN CALORIESWe’re hearing from our fans that lockdown has added up to a little extra weight with more sitting and less moving.

SUP is your solution

if you’ve packed on a few stones lately. An hour of stand up paddle boarding can burn about 300 calories on the low end, or up to 750 (or more) with a rigorous routine like SUP racing. Let’s break down some of our favorite SUP activities for burning calories.

SUP SURFINGSUP surfing is definitely a calorie-burner. It’s also a skills tester so if you’re the high-octane type of paddler and you haven’t tried SUP surfing, you’ll want to put this one on your list. In a vigorous hour of SUP surfing, you can burn about 750 calories. If the surf’s really up, you might burn up to 1,000 calories! Bonus Info: SUP surfing is the original SUP.

You can read all about the history of stand up paddle boarding here

. It’s a fun read.SUP RACING

SUP racing is a heart-pounding and thrilling way to paddle. Of course, it’s a group activity and with lockdown, group SUP might be tough to arrange. But once you’re ready for group SUP or some good, clean, family-friendly fun, try SUP racing.

SUP racing can be done on a straight-away or obstacle-course style. Depending on how fast and hard you paddle, you can work off a minimum of 700 calories an hour. Plus, it’s fun!

SUP YOGA

We know many thousands of our fans are into SUP yoga. Worldwide, SUP yoga is a fast-growing sport and no wonder: tt’s a brilliant workout for mind and body. It’s also a great calorie-burner. In an hour or so of SUP yoga, you can burn off about 400 calories.

#3: PADDLE FOR HEART HEALTH

When it comes to boosting your immune system, being fit and lean is helpful but let’s not forget about your vital organs. Your heart supplies every cell in your body with blood and oxygen. A healthy heart directly benefits your immune system, and a healthy immune system helps you fight off viruses (like coronavirus) and other illnesses like heart disease and diabetes.

If there’s one thing you decide to do for yourself, it should be working on a healthy heart. A regular SUP routine will help you do that.

#4: PADDLE TO BEAT STRESSToo much stress is bad for your heart and your overall health. With social isolation, many of our fans are reporting higher stress levels over being quarantined, missing their income and missing out on regular exercise. The problem is, that extra stress is bad for your health and your immune system.

Getting up and getting moving is proven to help control stress. What better way to do that than with a lovely day of stand up paddle boarding?

Tip: One our favorite ways to SUP away stress is in kayak mode. There’s something beautiful about slowing down and paddling along a canopied stream for a change of pace and scenery.

#5: PADDLE FOR SUNSHINE AND VITAMIN DGetting enough Vitamin D is a challenge in the best of times. The UK isn’t exactly known for its never-ending days of sunshine! Winter makes it even harder. But nothing makes getting natural Vitamin D from sunshine harder than quarantine. Worldwide, an estimated

40 percent of people lack enough Vitamin D

to maintain a healthy immune system. So if you’re a bit pale and low on D, you’re not alone. You can pop a vitamin pill or get outside, hop on your iSUP, and get Vitamin D the natural way. What else are you doing to stay healthy during quarantine? We’d love to hear all about it. Contact us using the fields below or

10 FUN THINGS TO TRY THIS SUMMER ON YOUR PADDLE BOARD

Summer shouldn’t be spent behind a computer screen! Venture outside for these 10 fun things to try this summer on your paddle board. They’re guaranteed to get your juices flowing.

1. PRACTICE YOUR GOLF GAME FROM YOUR PADDLE BOARD

Who knew you could play a round of golf in your local swimming hole? Us, that’s who! Before you get ahead of yourself, it’s important to grab the right gear. Here’s what you need for a day on the course (eh, we mean a day on the water).

Anchor to build a floating green

Piece of artificial turf

PVC pipes to support the floating green

Floating golf balls (foam or plastic)

Mastering your aqua-golf game takes a little skill and a whole lot of patience. Find a secluded area on the water that’s away from buildings, people and other water vessels. Practice your short distance swings with a 9-iron or wedge for an experience that really hones your skills. Make the most of your golf outing with the All-Around or the Model V.

2. RIDE THE WHITEWATER FOR THE RUSH YOU CRAVE

Barreling down the rapids isn’t a sport reserved for rafting! Strap on your helmet and PFD for a paddle boarding adventure unlike any other. Unfortunately, many paddle boards can’t withstand the turmoil of sharp rocks and aggressive currents. Thanks to iRocker’s military-grade materials, every model is ready to take on the challenge.

3. STAR GAZE FROM YOUR SUP DECK

Pack a cooler full of cold ones, grab your significant other and head to the water when the sun sets. The extra comfortable crocodile-textured trackpads on every iRocker board make them the perfect escape for an evening under the stars. What can we say, we’re just romantics. Practice extreme caution when you SUP at night. Don’t paddle into the water without a flashlight and an emergency flare gun in hand.

4. YOUR PADDLE BOARDS ARE PERFECT FOR FAMILY TIME

Pile the whole family onto two or three large paddle boards like this one for an all day adventure. Make the most of this sacred time together and put your cooler deck bag to use. Pack some cold brews for the adults and some yummy snacks for the kiddos. When your paddle boards are this buoyant and easy to maneuver, your family will beg for more days out on the water. Bring along the waterproof camera and snorkeling equipment for an underwater family photo shoot.

5. SIGN YOURSELF (AND YOUR SUP) UP FOR A KAYAK RACE

Yep, you heard us right. That brand new iRocker of yours converts to a fully functioning kayak within minutes. We truly care about our customers, so we want every pound you spend to go as far as possible. Thanks to the kayak kit, your paddle board becomes a competition-capable kayak in the blink of an eye. Not many paddle boards on the market can do that! Head to some nearby rapids, the sea or your local pond for an immersive kayaking experience.

6. KEEP THE HORIZON CLEAN WITH SOME HELP FROM YOUR SUP

More than 5.25 trillion pieces of rubbish cover the surface of our waterways these days. We said trillion with a “t”. Numbers that alarming force every citizen of the UK to band together for change. Grab some pals and head to your local swimming hole for a day spent serving Mother Nature. A big bonus of using your SUP for rubbish clean up is its ability to reach even the shallowest spots. Cruise on your SUP and collect debris while you relax on the water.

7. HIT THE BARS FROM YOUR PADDLE BOARD

No one likes a drunk driver. Protect yourself and other drivers and just paddle board to the bars instead! Launch your board near one of these bustling sand bars to give the phrase “booze cruise” a whole new meaning.

8. CATCH SOME FISH FROM YOUR SUP DECK

Paddle board fishing is a totally new trend that’s easier and more affordable than alternative techniques. Some of the best fishing destinations around the UK are shallow and unreachable by most boats. That’s where your paddle board comes in. Stability and functionality are crucial when it comes to SUP fishing. BLACKFIN’s multi-use action mount acts as a rod holder, phone mount and more.

9. STRIKE A POSE FROM YOUR PADDLE BOARD

Nothing is more peaceful than being out on the open water. Well, except for being out on the water practicing yoga. Drop into Shavasana or kick it up a few notches with a headstand. You choose your flow when you practice yoga on the open water. Not sure where to begin? Our extensive community of yoga-practicing SUPers have helped us create some helpful guides to get you started.

10. PADDLE INTO A SUMMER OUTDOOR CONCERT SERIES

Paddle up to one of the UK’s notorious waterfront venues to soak in every note of a summer concert. Whether you choose a full-day festival or a classical concerto, arriving by paddle boards is the best way to do it.

HOW TO PLAN A PERFECT WINTER PADDLE BOARD HOLIDAY

Does a long, cold winter sound like the worst thing ever? To most stand up paddle boarders, it does. It certainly does around here at iROCKER but we don’t let cold weather get us down. We simply plan a winter paddle board holiday somewhere warm! We’re talking 26 degrees, tropical drinks with the little umbrella thingie and paddle boarding every day in sunshine. If this sounds like your kind of winter, then read on, mate. This post is all about how to plan a perfect winter paddle board holiday.

HOW TO PLAN A PERFECT WINTER PADDLE BOARD HOLIDAY

TOP WINTER SUP DESTINATIONS

HOW TO PLAN A PERFECT WINTER PADDLE BOARD HOLIDAY

Like most good adventures, an ounce or two of good planning up front will guarantee pounds of fun down the lane. When it comes to a perfect winter paddle board holiday, the little details make all the difference. Knowing where to go at the right price and with the ideal paddle spots takes a bit of planning. Then you’ve got to consider other details like budget, travel time and safety. If your perfect winter paddle board holiday includes paddle mates, then you need to get their opinions and ideas into the mix, too. In the end, the small up-front effort will pay off in spades and you’ll have the winter holiday every SUP junkie dreams about. Remember: A bit of planning now promises perfect SUP time after you arrive. When you’re working on your winter SUP holiday plans, we recommend investing in some solid research:

Research perfect destinations. If you and your mates only have a week of holiday time, then you want to find a destination that’s easy to get to. Australia and Bali might sound dreamy (and they are) but flying to those places takes days.

Identify the best places to sleep. Surf motels and camps are easy enough to spot and of course, there’s also AirBnB and VRBO. Wherever you stay, you need to make sure your host is set up for a group of paddle boarders and their gear. Is there room in a secure spot for your board? Is there a hose to clean your gear? What about safety, security and access to the prime paddle spots? Ask all of your questions before booking your reservation.

Find the prime paddle spots before you go. Depending on the type of paddler you and your mates are, the paddle spots might be just as important as the destination. Do you want the thrill of a surf or the calm of a gentle brook? Discuss, decide and then make sure that postcard-perfect destination you’ve chosen has the perfect paddle spots to suit your type.

Plan to handle a few surprises. In spite of even the best planning, little surprises can interrupt any holiday if you’re not prepared. So listen to your mum and be prepared with some extra gear, a patch kit and a good dry case to protect your mobile.

Tip: Don’t forget pics and vids! Even better if you or one of your mates brings a GoPro.

TOP WINTER SUP DESTINATIONS

The world may be your oyster but when it comes to planning a perfect winter SUP holiday, it’s a bit smaller. To make the most of your time away, consider these important details:

Travel time required

Estimated travel costs

Perfect paddle spots for everyone in your group

Security and safety

With those things top of mind, here’s our short list for some perfect winter SUP destinations.

UNITED STATES

Florida in the United States is a tried and true favorite for any winter holiday. For SUPers, it’s a sure thing. Flights to Florida from major cities in Europe are fairly affordable and efficient. Once there, a hired car will give you all the freedom you need to roam all over the state. Visit Mickey and friends at Disney World, test the epic surf at New Smyrna Beach on the east coast, and soak up the sun on white crystal sands on the west coast. Our absolute favorite places for Florida stand up paddle boarding are:

Florida’s First Coast. This region in the state’s northeast corner includes the major metropolitan city of Jacksonville and America’s oldest city, St. Augustine. There’s no end to affordable paddle-friendly places to stay and awesome spots for paddling.

The Gulf Coast. This west coast of Florida always makes the lists of “best beaches”. We know why! Long, wide stretches of pure white sand, warm water all year ‘round and a casual vibe from residents and visitors. In the medium-sized town of St. Petersburg, you’ll find gobs of fun nightlife, great food and lots of live music from a water-loving crowd. Our absolute favorite beach on the Florida gulf is Clearwater Beach. Plan to go there for at least one full day of sun, surf, shopping and a fresh Florida grouper sandwich.

HOW TO BUST STRESS WITH STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING

Feeling a bit stressed this winter? You’re not alone. All the after-holiday hustle is not only exhausting, it’s stressful. So today we’re looking at the many ways you can bust stress with stand up paddle boarding.

Hopefully, paddling is a part of your regular fitness routine. If it is or even if it isn’t, this post is all about how SUP can feed your mind, body and soul and in the process, put stress where it belongs -- out of your life.

HOW PADDLE BOARDING FEEDS YOUR MIND

HOW PADDLE BOARDING FEEDS YOUR BODY

HOW PADDLE BOARDING FEEDS YOUR ZEN

BONUS: YOUR ULTIMATE STRESS BUSTER

HOW PADDLE BOARDING IS FEEDS YOUR MIND

You might not realize how much mental energy goes into stand up paddling. After the initial mental focus of learning the proper techniques, certain things like balance and paddling might not seem to require much mental energy.

Like muscles, the brain develops a certain “muscle memory” and you just go through the strokes without much mental focus.

But the truth is, paddle boarding does require mental focus, even if it you’re a pro paddler and don’t think you’re putting much thought into your routine. This kind of mental focus is a great way to put stress out of your mind.

When you’re focused on your paddling, you’re not focused on stress at home, work, school or anywhere else. Sure, stressful thoughts can creep in from time to time, even during the most perfect SUP sesh.

Here’s a tip: make a point to put all stressful thoughts out of your mind while you’re paddling. This kind of thought control helps train your brain to be stress-free.

Plus, if you’re challenging yourself to learning new maneuvers, testing a new boardor amping up your adrenaline, paddle boarding is a perfect way to get your thoughts in check.

HOW PADDLE BOARDING FEEDS YOUR BODY

You hear us talk a lot about how good SUP is for your fitness and it is. Even if you’re coming back from an injury or a surgery, you’re going to get a workout any time you get on your board. But if you’re serious about burning calories and getting fit with SUP, then you’re going to crush those goals.

This is because stand up paddle boarding demands full body focus, from your head to your feet and everywhere in between. When you’re focused on your fitness, you can’t worry about stress back on land.

So if stress is taking a toll on you, make a point to get serious about your SUP moves. Challenge yourself with a new routine such as an uncharted waterway, scheduling a SUP race with your matesor learning SUP yoga.

Tip: if you are thinking about mastering a new SUP level, SUP races are a great way to spend quality time with your family, co-workers or mates. Kick up the fun with a SUP scavenger hunt or charity event.

HOW PADDLE BOARDING FEEDS YOUR ZEN

Once your mind and your body are in sync with your SUP, the natural next benefit is for your soul. There’s something magical about the way harmony sets in when your body’s systems are working together toward a common healthy goal.

To make certain you’re upping your Zen when you SUP, make a routine of meditating while paddling. Of course, you’ll want a calm cove or quiet spot for this. So find your perfect place, take a seat, close your eyes, regulate your breathing and count in for 1, 2, 3, 4, then out for 1, 2, 3, 4, repeat for 1, 2, 3, 4....

You totally just did that breathing exercise, didn’t you?

The mental and physical concentration SUP demands is good for your mind, body and your soul. If you make a point to meditate during every SUP sesh, your soul with thank you for it.

SUP Zen is one of the primary reasons SUP yoga is so popular. A few minutes of yoga poses and concentrated breathing will do your soul some good. To get started with SUP yoga, think about trying one new pose every time you go out for a paddle.

You can find all kinds of helpful hints here for SUP yoga. If you’re a little intimidated about attempting downward dog on your iROCKER, check out this video for some pro instruction.

BONUS: YOUR ULTIMATE STRESS BUSTER

Now that you’ve put some good effort into bettering your mind, body and soul with SUP, you deserve some pampering. Pop over to our gear page to check out some awesome SUP accessories to make your every SUP sesh your best SUP sesh.

HOW MANY CALORIES CAN AN AVERAGE BLOKE BURN WITH STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING?

Who went a little overboard this holiday season with pasties and pints? If you did, you’re not alone. We’re getting literally bombarded with questions about burning calories with SUP. So if you did eat a little too much over the holidays or simply want to get into tip-top shape in 2020, this post is all about how many calories an average bloke can burn with stand up paddle boarding. Spoiler alert: you can burn a lot of calories with stand up paddle boarding! There are many ways to SUP, from slow and easy to fast and furious. This means the calorie burn in an hour of SUP can range from about 300 on the low end to over 1,000 on the higher end. We’re here to break down the calorie burn facts and figures for you so you know what you can expect from your next SUP workout.

SLOW AND EASY STAND UP PADDLING CAN BURN 300-TO-400 CALORIES

If you’re new to SUP and need to get the hang of it, or simply want to take your SUP sesh slow ‘n easy, you can still expect a great benefit. In a single hour of slow and easy SUP on a calm stretch of water, you can expect to burn 300-to-400 calories. Even at a slow and easy pace, SUP does more than just burn calories. It’s a full body workout, with benefits to your arms, shoulders, core, back and legs. It’s also a healthy mind exercise for stress relief and getting back to nature. The art of balancing on your iROCKER on water is easily mastered, and simply balancing will give you healthy benefits. When you’re ready to hop up and begin paddling, you’ll also increase your calorie burn. Gently paddling along for about an hour can burn around 300 calories. Pushing yourself to paddle harder and faster can burn another 100 calories in that same hour. You can also increase calorie burn out of your workout time by walking or biking your board to the water. Tip: The iROCKER Carry Strap makes carrying your board a breeze

COMPARING SUP FOR BEST CALORIE BURN

We are unabashedly biased around here about the benefits and sheer fun of SUP. It’s all we do! That said, we are serious about the science behind stand up paddle boarding and its benefits. So without bias, here are our team’s top plugs for SUP as a top workout choice:

SUP is an ideal exercise for cross-training. A SUP workout works your entire body, strengthens your core and improves your overall balance.

SUP is great for clearing the mind and communing with nature. SUP yoga takes gentle SUP up several notches in terms of calorie burn. It also feeds the mind and spirit with traditional yoga disciplines like proper breathing and focus.

SUP is fun for the whole bunch of you. This is because SUP is a workout where many people at varying fitness levels can participate together. (And this is why we build boards for every skill level.)

BURN MORE CALORIES WITH A MORE EXTREME SUP ROUTINE

SUP is also a perfect solution for more extreme sporting enthusiasts. Higher energy workouts like SUP surfing and SUP racing will help you burn more calories and get into your best shape ever.

If you want to burn 750 or more calories in an hour of SUP, here are some ways to do it:

Build some SUP yoga time into your SUP sesh. This is a great way to get the most for your body and your mind, and also increase your calorie burn.

Add traditional body weight exercises to your SUP routine. Planks, pushups and squats require more strength and focus on water compared to dry land. You’ll tone up faster and burn more calories, too.

Try SUP with your pup. The only thing better than a SUP session solo is a SUP session with your best mate. It’s great bonding time for the both of you and will make you work a wee bit harder on balance and paddling.

SUP racing is a thing and it’s awesome! We first gave SUP racing a go at an iROCKER team building event and now we’re hooked on it. You can SUP race with a group of SUP mates or plan a special event around a charity or special occasion. To make your SUP race extra fun, think about turning the race into a scavenger hunt for pints.

Tip: family holiday time takes on new meaning with SUP

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SUP WORKOUT TO YOUR FITNESS GOALS

Because stand up paddle boarding is diverse enough for newbies and challenging enough for pros, it’s diverse enough for practically anyone. Whether your goal is to get fit, drop a few stones, spend time alone or with someone special, or get closer to nature, SUP lets you work out the way you want.
