Now is the time to get out of the house, soak in the sun and try something new. From bread making to learning the latest TikTok dance, Americans picked up new hobbies since the COVID-19 pandemic. As travel gets busier, keep the momentum going with paddle boarding that can travel with you anywhere in the world.

 

“As many people picked up a new hobby over the last year, they are now looking to take that hobby on the road as travelling becomes less restricted.”  CEO and co-founder Steve Elder remarks. Starting as a passion project, Elder had a vision to offer customers a durable, high-end paddle board with a strong community of like-minded individuals behind it. While on track to double in size by the end of 2021, iROCKER is the fastest growing outdoor brand with a dedication to top-of-the line design and manufacturing.  “iROCKER’s inflatable paddleboards are great from road trips to luxury travel destinations as they can be easily stored in a trunk or checked luggage.”

iROCKER’s luxury inflatable paddle boards make it easy to bring this new hobby of yours anywhere in the world. Easy to travel in a checked bag, the inflatable SUPs can be blown up in as little as five–seven minutes to ensure less time inflating and more time on the water. Each paddle board comes with a three-piece paddle, a dual chamber hand pump, removable fins, a repair kit and travel roller bag. With a weight of only 26 pounds, the unit can easily be transported to these top destinations, like Honolulu, Hawai’i; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Whistler, Canada; Lake Tahoe, Nevada; and, for the most experienced, the Antarctic Peninsula to paddle through the ice and float with seals and penguins.

 

For beginners, try Blackfin Model X for an introductory unit to the sport, while the Blackfin Movel V is more ideal for touring. All of the Blackfin models are compatible with fishing rack and sand spear attachments. The Cruiser, All Around and Sport models are all equipped with mounting points to easily convert stand-up boards into kayaks with the specialty kits.

 

Each board can be customized with various attachments and accessories.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
