Pros & Cons
Pros
This board is fantastic. The pattern is pretty. The colours also mean different models. I recommend this brand for those who do not want to spend at least $800 on expensive branded paddle boards and still want to experience quality and stability.
Single + option for double paddle and waterproof bag. Comes with an awesome backpack to hold everything. The dry bags they come with are an added bonus.
Roc specializes on beginner boards and for beginners (like us) it works really well. A good tricep workout for sure. I mostly use this board in the ocean, but it's great for the lake as well.
The adjustable paddle allows any size person to comfortably paddle. Love the 3ply reinforced sidewalls for river kayaking. Comes with an extra paddle and a joining piece to make it into a kayak paddle.
The only issue is my clumsiness which resulted in my jamming my hand and detaching a tendon on one of my fingers.

Price
Great board from all points of view, and the price is fair.
Shipping
I did have an issue at one point but i must say that the resolution was fast and expertly handled.
Easy to pump up and get on the water fast.
Competitiveness
I've seen more expensive sups that seemingly have better build quality and features, but for the price this is an excellent board.
I wanted one that is a bit premium built and one that can last longer than cheaper brands.

The pump is dual action however you have to ensure that the screw on the side is in for the double action to work

I figured that you really need to fold it properly otherwise it’s a struggle trying to fit it in the bag
