The Nautical series from iROCKER comes in a 10’6 and 11’6 version, and is designed to be iROCKER’s entry into the budget SUP space. While these SUPs surely won’t break the bank, they’re still nearing the impressive level of performance that we see on some of iROCKER’s higher end SUPs. In this video review, we’ll delve into every aspect of the Nautical SUPs, including their accessory lists, construction, features, and the differences in performance between the two size options.
Right out of the box, the Nautical series had many SUPs in this price range beat considering the included accessories alone. The Nautical share their fin set with iROCKER’s higher end line, and come equipped with a fiberglass paddle as well as a sturdy SUP backpack. Also carried down from iROCKER’s premium line is the Nautical’s features, as both the 10’6 and 11’6 Nautical sport front and rear cargo area, a multi purpose action mount, 3 carry handles, integrated safety grab straps, and kayak seat attachment points. At this price point, this is an unprecedented amount of versatility.
Another aspect of the Nautical that made it our top recommendation for on our list of Best Cheap SUPs is the series’ performance. At 10’6 x 32” and just 22 lbs, the 10’6 Nautical is a sporty but stable option for smaller or solo paddlers, while the 11’6 x 32” Nautical is more suited to taller and heavier paddlers, or paddlers who need a bit of space to bring along some gear or a passenger.
Lastly, we’re impressed with iROCKER’s ability to keep the Nautical in the budget category without cutting corners when it comes to construction. While most SUPs at competing prices are constructed with a single layer of PVC, the Nautical series utilizes dual layer construction and shares a similar drop stitch inner core with iROCKER’s more advanced line. This makes for a stiffer and more durable SUP over time.
