If you are shorter than about 5\u2019 8\u201d, Blackfin Boards recommend choosing the 10\u2019 6\u201d long Model X. For anyone else, the 11\u2019 6\u201d Model XL is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a beginner, then you will enjoy the <strong>excellent stability<\/strong> of the Blackfin Model XL, while more experienced paddlers will love the fact that this SUP does pretty much everything. It is very maneuverable, glides nicely, and it can make great speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone looking for <strong>a versatile SUP board<\/strong> will also do well with the Blackfin Model XL.

The XL has a <strong>high-density woven drop stitch core<\/strong> that is wrapped with <strong>military-grade, triple-layer PVC<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add to the sturdiness and longevity, the rails of the XL are <strong>reinforced with carbon fiber<\/strong>. These also enhance the already excellent overall stiffness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"high-weight-capacity\">High Weight Capacity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If, like me, you\u2019re a taller paddler who, in all honesty, could also do with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paddleboardtips.com\/can-you-lose-weight-paddle-boarding\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5041\">losing a few pounds<\/a>, then weight capacity plays a part in your paddle board choice. You\u2019ll appreciate all the space and sturdiness that the 11\u2019 6\u201d length offers, and you won\u2019t have to worry about overloading the SUP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a <strong>weight capacity of 435 lbs,<\/strong> your board can cope with whatever you want to carry. So whether it\u2019s extra passengers, your dog, or just all the necessary cargo for a full day out, this paddle board can cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"suitable-for-all-skill-levels\">Suitable for All Skill Levels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about the XL is that it is <strong>excellent for both beginners and more experienced SUP fans<\/strong>. Those with less time on a paddle board will find the superb stability confidence-inspiring. Meanwhile, it is also a great performer that can make excellent speed and tracks and glides really nicely with it\u2019s tri fin setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paddleboardtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/irocker-blackfin-xl.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paddleboardtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/irocker-blackfin-xl.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.paddleboardtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/irocker-blackfin-xl-300x182.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"large-eva-deck-pad\">Large EVA Deck Pad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blackfin Model XL has an excellent <strong>non-slip EVA traction pad<\/strong> that makes whatever you are doing on your board <strong>comfortable and safe<\/strong>. While paddling, it is <strong>soft underfoot<\/strong> and helps to <strong>reduce fatigue<\/strong>. The full-length cut-out lines allow water to drain quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high quality traction pad runs nearly two-thirds of the 11\u2019 6\u201d board length, so there is <strong>plenty of room<\/strong>. Combined with the board being so stable, the large deck pad makes this an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paddleboardtips.com\/best-yoga-paddle-boards\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"556\">excellent platform for SUP yoga<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bungee-cargo-areas\">Bungee Cargo Areas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>nose and tail bungee storage areas<\/strong>, so you have plenty of space for carrying whatever you want. The bungee is secured at both ends by 6 D-rings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"easy-to-carry\">Easy to Carry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The XL has a <strong>center handle<\/strong> to carry the SUP. There are also <strong>handles at the nose and tail<\/strong>, which are very useful when handling the board at the dock. You can also use them to make it easy for two people to carry the Model XL to the water. All handles have a <strong>soft neoprene cover<\/strong> for comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the XL\u2019s most popular uses is to carry extra passengers. It is great to see that iROCKER has included <strong>grab handles<\/strong> on both the nose and tail cargo areas.

There are plenty of handles to make it easy to carry, but most importantly, this bag <strong>comes with wheels<\/strong> which I like when traveling. Bags are <strong>color-coded to match your SUP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The backstraps are adjustable, and there is cushioning on the waist and back to keep you comfortable. The bag is <strong>well built<\/strong>, and the materials used are of excellent quality. In addition to the main pocket for your SUP, there are extra pockets for your gear. There\u2019s even an outside bungee area that is perfect for stashing a hoodie and a waterproof pouch for a name and address label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"carbon-shaft-paddle\">Carbon Shaft Paddle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Included with the SUP is an <strong>ultra-light 3-piece carbon shaft paddle.<\/strong> Thankfully this paddle will float if you happen to drop it in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iROCKER paddle has an <strong>incredibly durable<\/strong> nylon blade, and overall it <strong>weighs just 29oz.<\/strong> You can adjust the carbon shaft paddle between 72 and 86\u201d, so it caters to different people\u2019s heights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dual-chamber-pump\">Dual Chamber Pump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>24\u201d triple-action hand pump<\/strong> that comes with the Blackfin XL is one of the best I\u2019ve ever used. iROCKER reckon that this dual chamber pump <strong>will fill the SUP at twice the speed and with half the effort<\/strong> of a regular pump, and I agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I am a lover of saving my energy for out on the water.

The leash <strong>stretches to up to five times its coiled length,<\/strong> but once released, will gently spring back to reduce its size. This leash is always the perfect length for your position on the board, so it doesn\u2019t trail as you paddle and cause drag or tangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a handy<strong> key pocket in the ankle strap<\/strong>, so you\u2019ll always know that your house key is safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"repair-kit\">Repair Kit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there\u2019s a repair kit that includes several patches and a hand wrench tool to tighten the air valve as needed.

It shares many of the features of the Blackfin Model XL SUP with some differences in the final specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The All Around measures 11\u2019 x 32\u201d, which is slightly smaller than the Model XL. You\u2019ll need to consider if you need the extra space for your activities. Unsurprisingly, the smaller board has a lower maximum capacity at 435 lbs compared to the Model XL with 485 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both boards share iROCKERS<strong> triple-layer PVC construction<\/strong>. The only notable build difference is that the All Around doesn\u2019t have the carbon-reinforced rails. This might make it feel a bit less stiff and be a little less hard-wearing over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining differences in board features are in the mounting points. The All Around has four compared to the Blackfin models eight. The Model XL is probably the better choice for anyone interested in fishing as it also has the fishing tackle rack points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it might not have as many features as the Model XL, the All Around is still an excellent, premium quality inflatable SUP. It has a more affordable price than the Blackfin Model XL. If cost is an issue and you don\u2019t need all the extra features, I thoroughly recommend the iROCKER All Around 11\u2019 to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-irocker-blackfin-model-xl-vs-blackfin-model-x-stand-up-inflatable-paddle-board\">2. iROCKER Blackfin Model XL vs Blackfin Model X Stand Up Inflatable Paddle Board<\/h3>\n\n\n<a target='_blank' rel='nofollow noopener noreferrer' href='https:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=el&#038;merchant_id=11ae2055-9b21-417d-b8ec-2bff317b3809&#038;website_id=c2eb98d1-f932-488b-8fbb-cb869373c395&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Firockersup.com%2Fcollections%2Fsups-blackfin%2Fproducts%2Fblackfin-model-x' alm-id='blackfin-model-x' class='alm alignright product-image check-price' ts='1684746378'><img loading='lazy' src='https:\/\/www.paddleboardtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blackfin-model-x-paddle-board.jpg' width='300' height='384'  alt='blackfin model x paddle board' \/>\n<\/a>\n\n\n<p>The <a href='https:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=11ae2055-9b21-417d-b8ec-2bff317b3809&website_id=c2eb98d1-f932-488b-8fbb-cb869373c395&url=https%3A%2F%2Firockersup.com%2Fcollections%2Fsups-blackfin%2Fproducts%2Fblackfin-model-x' class='alm alm-in-text' alm-id='blackfin-model-x' target='_blank' rel='nofollow noreferrer' ts='1684746378'>Model X<\/a> is an easy comparison to the XL as it shares all the same Blackfin paddle boards features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only difference between these two members of the Blackfin line is the dimensions. The Model X measures 10\u2019 6\u201d x 35\u201d compared to the XL at 11\u2019 6\u201d x 34\u201d. The X has a capacity of 450 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Model X is the ideal SUP for someone under 5\u2019 8\u201d tall as they may find it easier to maneuver than the larger Model XL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you don\u2019t need the extra space, you might just be looking to save on purchase costs.
