Blackfin XL iRocks
I bought my first iRocker Blackfin XL in 2000. I did a ton of research and decided iRocker was the company I felt offered the best option for what I was looking for in an inflatable SUP. I was not disappointed. The Blackfin XL is huge and sturdy. I also over time bought the electric pump, Kayak paddle, iPhone waterproof bag, lunch bag, and speaker. After 5 years of great boarding, in lakes and rivers my board started to show its age by having the deck come unglued. I bought HH66 glue and took my time and restored it. No problem. This year my board sprung some leaks and again I used the glue to patch it. Worked great. Then I unfortunately left it in the exposed sun on a plus 30C day and the side seam exploded. I was devastated. I did my best to repair it but it still leaks enough that I wanted to get a new board. I again did the full exhausting task of researching all available brands and models to finding a new board. There are so many options out there. I kept coming back to iRocker. I know there was quality issues a couple of years ago so I was reluctant. However I just loved my board so much and didn’t want any other brand or make. I feel confident that the past issues have been addressed. I saw the website had a sale going on and I contacted customer service with some questions. I talked to Kurstine in customer service with the Experience Team. I was super happy with the quick response and helpful service. I ended up buying the new Blackfin that day. Kurstine was great and I can’t wait to receive my board. Feel confident knowing you will receive a great high quality board that lasts years.
