This board has been consistently iRocker’s best selling SUP. It is a great all-rounder board and can be used by any user, whether inexperienced or expert. It is incredibly stable and yet can move fluidly and glide real good. It can handle all types of waters except for high waves and lets you carry cargo along. The Cruiser comes in 6 different colour options. There has been some add ons in the new 2020 version like the rear bungee system. Everything about this board is cool and different. 
Important features:
- Dual set of Bungees – This board is equipped with 2 sets of bungees. The D rings for the bungee system are located closer to the ends of the board, which provide more cargo space. Also, the spaces are almost equal both at the starting and at the end.
- D rings – The board has in total 20 D rings, which makes it more customizable and taking things along becomes easier. 6 D rings are used by the front bungee cords whereas 6 are used by the rear bungee cords. There is 1 on each end to attach leash and tow equipment. Then there are 6 D rings across the centre of the board which can be used to connect add ons like a seat etc.
- Handles – There in total 5 handles on the board. One in the centre is padded, which makes it easier to carry the board around. Then there are two child-friendly handles on the front bungee system. The rest of the handles are located at the ends of the board to carry it to and out of water.
- Fin System – The board comes with a 9” removable fin which helps in tracking and stability. There also 2 additional fins which can be attached to increase manoeuvrability.
- Traction Pad – The board has a soft brushed EVA traction pad which makes it easier and more comfortable to do activities like kneeling and doing yoga. Although the board as such won’t be classified as a yoga board, even that can be done due to a highly stable design.
Accessories:
- Backpack – The bag that comes with the board is easy to carry. It has padded straps and additional straps for the waist and chest. This provides greater comfort, and taking the board becomes an easier task. It also helps to store the board away from sunlight.
- Paddle – Gilli is known for providing some high-quality paddles. This board comes with a 3 piece carbon fibre paddle. The carbon build makes it easier to use and causes less shoulder and arm fatigue.
- Leash – There is also a coiled leash that comes along with the board. This helps you as in cases when you fall off, the leash will not let the board drift away.
- Dual Action Hand Pump – This is a standard accessory when it comes to inflatable boards. The pump takes around 7 – 8 minutes to fully inflate the board. If you want to do it in a way that does not break a sweat, then you should go for electronic pumps.
- Repair Kit – Every inflatable also comes with a pretty general repair kit with some glue, patches and a valve tightener.
Specs:
This board is 10’6” long having a width of 33” and a thickness of 6”. This makes it really stable and also light as the overall weight of the board is a mere 25 lbs. But still, this lightboard can carry a weight of 400 lbs which is out of its class. iRocker is known to provide high-end quality when it comes to material and durability. This board has a triple composite construction which makes it really sturdy and robust.
Performance:
When on water, this board is a lot of fun to paddle. It is highly stable, in fact, one of the most stable boards in this price bracket. Along with being highly stable, the board can also handle all types of waters and can be moved around quickly thanks to its triplefin system. When it comes to speed, the board does not really excel, but that is mostly because the boards were not made for the same. Overall it provides excellent performance when looked at how affordable it is.
