Fantastic set - top quality from board to bag
I did a ton of research before purchasing an iSUP, and had been waiting for a few reviews on this particular model before I purchased it. I'm so glad I waited, this board is exactly what I wanted. I've had it out on the water a few times, twice in lakes (one windy day with a fair amount of waves and one calm day with very flat water) and twice on Puget Sound. I wanted an iSUP because it's easy to carry in my sedan, I plan to use it in the PNW during the summer and So Cal during the winter.The Pump: First off, it's a workout to inflate because it takes a while but it's not difficult, it's takes longer but is no harder than inflating my bike tires. The pump seems sturdy and has two settings, one for maximum volume and one for maximum PSI, and clear instructions. I use maximum volume to about 14 PSI and then switch to maximum PSI and it took less then 10 minutes to get to 15 PSI. The board is very rigid at 15 PSI, zero flex and just as firm as my hard board.The Bag: The bag is HUGE. I'm 5'7" and this bag almost reaches my knees. But it seems sturdy (but not sure I would use it for air travel), has lots of tie downs to keep the board and accessories secure, and had both a hip and chest strap that are well padded. I'm pretty strong, but the hip and chest straps are the only reason I was able to carry the bag comfortably. I imagine this is true of all iSUP bags, though. It's big enough to carry the board and all accessories with room to spare, and for a freebie bag is about as good as it gets.The Paddle: Great paddle! It's a big upgrade over the aluminum paddles usually included as part of a package (it's fiberglass), is light weight, easy to adjust, floats, and doesn't rattle at all like three piece paddles always do. An absolute steal considering it's included in the package. It's comfortable to use and maneuvers well.The Board: This board grabs attention. It gets lots of comments and second looks when I'm pumping it, launching it, and while in the water. Everyone's curious about the inflatable SUP, and this board is easy to show off. I went back and forth between the older 30" wide model and this one (32" wide). I'm so glad I got the 32" version. The bungie system is fantastic, it holds a dry bag, water bottle, and PFD with room to spare. I can even slide the paddle under the cord when I need to. The board is very stable, even in the rocky waves I had no balance issues. The 6" height means it sits slightly above the water, making it easy to sit, kneel, or stand. It is lighter than a hard board so it seems to rock a little more in the water when I'm in wind, but it keeps me drier because it sits higher on the water. It's not it as fast as I would have hoped, but is about as fast as you can expect on a 32" wide board. It's very rugged and should hold up well to abuse. Overall it performs extremely well for a wider inflatable.The Packaging: My set came in an amazon box that was all but destroyed, but the board and accessories were securely packed inside two more boxes and completely untouched. I recieved a severely discounted leash as part of a coupon deal, but my kit included a leash so now I have two (side note - the leash is very comfortable and the coil design is very convenient)Overall I am extremely happy with this board and set, I can't imagine a better deal on the market today (and I looked at every option). Stop wasting time reading all the reviews and just buy this model - you won't regret it!

Excellent Product and One of My Best Purchases Ever!
Although athletic and skilled on the water, this is my first Paddle Board. I did hours and hours of research and had narrowed it down to several choices (this one or the Cruiser model, the Tower Adventurer 2, and either the Sea Eagle NeedleNose 116 or Longboard 11).I could not be more thrilled with my purchase of the iRocker All-Around 10'. I'm paddling in a somewhat protected bay on the Pacific Ocean. Without access to calm, flat water, my learning curve has not been an easy one and, although still shaky, I'm becoming more proficient on this board despite waves, chop, and current. The i Rocker is a high-quality, excellent product, and I feel confident it will give me years of enjoyment.I am a 5'3", 125-pound woman in my late 40's. I have no problem carrying the board, paddle, and a dry bag to the water and back. The leash is very comfortable on my ankle, and the paddle easy to maneuver. Like others have written, it was a workout to inflate it, but now I just leave it inflated. If I had to deflate and inflate it regularly, I would buy an electric pump.I have a Sea Eagle FastTrack 385 kayak, which I also love. It's great for the lakes I lived near in the past, but with a higher freeboard, I get blown around a lot in it on the ocean. The iRocker All-Around 10' Paddle Board is both faster and tracks much better than the kayak in ocean conditions, and I am still a very inexperienced paddler. I expect as I become more skilled it will be an even more wonderful experience to glide across the sea on it.One of my dogs also loves to come with me, and there is plenty of room for him. The board is stable and great fun. I have nothing but excellent things to say about the product and the company.

Solid board, great company
I wanted to update this review. While I really like the irocker all around I also have the Ten Toes Weekender...for me the Ten Toes is noticeably better when it comes to performance. I can't figure it out but the irocker just doesn't sit as well on the water as the ten toes. I've also had some issues with the pump coming loose where it should be tight and secure. I can go anywhere on my ten toes...flat water, choppy water...I've surfed small waves with the ten toes and it was great. So for me between the irocker and the ten toes...I choose the ten toes all the way. That said the irocker is still a very good isup and has some advantages. It comes with higher quality accessories. Paddle, pump, and bag are excellent. Everything easily fits in the bag. It's pretty easy to pump up. Board itself seems highly durable. The board is stable though it does get a little tipsy in choppy water and windy conditions. But it's still stable. It cuts through the water nicely. Also the hand strap used to grip board when caring is really comfy. The best thing about the board is the people that run the company. Over the phone they are extremely passionate about their product and are happy to answer all your questions. I had also ordered the kayak conversion paddle that was not made correctly and they sent a new one out to me immediately which was awesome. So the company itself is first class. And when you buy something like this you wanna feel comfortable the company will stand by their product. Again solid board, great company. But I still prefer my ten toes.

Better than a hard board.
I bought this for my wife since i figured it would be easier for her to handle. Honestly, i ended up using it all summer, sold my hard board, and am buying an 11 footer next spring for me. Super convenient, feels just like a hard board and comes with a great backpack and paddle, and i NEVER have to fix dings and deep scratches like i did my hard board. Perfect for flat water and super stable. I would recommend the sport if you are going to do more than just flat water paddling because it will have better secondary stability in big chop, but for flat water, this is the bomb-diggity. My only suggestion is to get a small electric pump. It is not difficult to manually pump, but the shoulders will last longer on the lake if you get a pump.
