The Blackfin inflatable SUP board packages include a number of awesome, high-quality, accessories. An iRocker 3 piece adjustable carbon fiber paddle with a nylon blade and an iRocker coiled leash are provided to give you the best paddle experience on the water. The Blackfin packages also include an iRocker twin-chamber, triple-action hand pump and a versatile travel backpack.
- Paddle: The iRocker paddle provided for the Blackfin models, is a 3 piece adjustable carbon shaft paddle with a nylon blade. As well as providing the rider with strong, powerful strokes in the water it is also ultra-lightweight and weighs only 28 oz. It also floats indefinitely if dropped in the water.
- Leash: The included Blackfin leash is comfortable and sturdy, stretching up to 10’ when fully extended. It also provides a small pocket to place keys.
- Pump: The twin-chamber hand pump has been upgraded since the previous 2019 model of the board and iRocker claims that this model provides 100% faster inflation of the board (to be taken with a grain of salt).

Blackfin SUP Board Features
Each Blackfin iSUP comes in a sleek, durable and stylish body. Because of the way they have been manufactured, durability is a guarantee. These boards may cost a little extra but for good reason, they will endure tougher water conditions regularly and will last a long time with little wear and tear. Perfect for beginners and experienced paddle boarders, all of Blackfins iSUPs come with lots of comfortable added extras.
All of their boards include two bungee storage areas at the front and rear of the boards to store personal items. They all come with at least 3 handles making them easy to transport to and from the water, as well as shoulder straps. Alongside these added features each Blackfin SUP board comes with 20 D-rings (for accessories like a kayak seat or an SUP wind sail), 8 camera mounts for the perfect action shots and built-in fishing rack mounts.
One of the best qualities of the Blackfin SUP range is that their boards are made for everyone from beginners to experienced paddle boarders. Blackfin boards, with their high weight capacity, allow for a sturdy and stable experience. Such a high weight capacity also means that the boards can support up to two adult riders, this makes the board ideal for recreational use.
The incredible stability ensures riders maintain their balance in rougher water conditions and is one of the best features of the Blackfin SUP board.
Although earlier production of the boards might have resulted in slightly heavier SUPs than some other premium models, their added handles, shoulder straps and excellent travel bags make them easy to transport.
And in 2020, iRocker made a redesign with triple layer PVC on composite fabrics shaving 20% of weight off. The new boards are not heavy enough to cause any discomfort or distress for people not accustomed to carrying SUPs when packed away or from house to trail to beach. In our opinion, neither are the older ones.
When creating the Blackfin range, iRocker ensured that these boards would be inclusive and serve everybody’s needs. Seems like they’re rocking that one.
