Parents either had to plop their kid on the front of their board and hope they\u2019d stay still or shell out cash for a flimsy foam SUP that would barely last a season. Never one to turn a deaf ear to consumer wants, iROCKER entered the race to build the perfect junior paddleboard with the launch of the Nautical Kids SUP, which we\u2019ll review below. <\/p>\n<p>Keeping parental priorities in mind, iROCKER wanted to design a kids SUP that was not only budget friendly, but also well constructed, stable, and versatile for young learners to build their love for SUP\u2019ing and gain some well-earned independence from the nose of their parent\u2019s board. <\/p>\n<p>On that front, they\u2019ve hit the mark. In our experience with the Nautical Kids SUP, we\u2019ve found it to be well sized for kids 5\u2019 or below (likely in a 9-12 age range). The 32\u201d width provides enough stability for young paddlers to stay confidently on their feet, while the 9\u2019 length will allow for way more maneuverability than your child would have on a \u2018too-big\u2019 10\u20196. At just 17.2 lbs, this SUP is light enough for most kids to carry and set up on their own, and its features encourage tons of versatility. <\/p>\n<p>In short, the Nautical Kids SUP personifies nearly everything you could want out of a child-focused board.<\/p>\n<p>We think the Nautical Kids SUP would be great for paddlers who<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Want a well-constructed, but budget friendly SUP for their junior paddler to develop their skills<\/li>\n<li>Need a SUP with enough stability for young learners without being cumbersome<\/li>\n<li>Want their child to have options when it comes to bringing along a couple of drybags or setting up a kayak seat<\/li>\n<li>Need a SUP that is light enough for a junior paddler to easily manage<\/li>\n<li>Want a kids SUP capable of tackling a variety of environments (flat water, chop, and ocean paddling)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-13-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-13-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP: Spec Sheet<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Main Category:<\/strong> Kids SUP, All-around, Inflatable<\/li>\n<li><strong>Board Dimensions:<\/strong> 9\u2019 x 32\u201d 6\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Listed Board Weight:<\/strong> 17.2 lbs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Listed Max Capacity:<\/strong> 220 lbs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommended PSI:<\/strong> 14-18 PSI<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fins:<\/strong> 2+1 Snap-lock<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paddle:<\/strong> 3-piece carbon\/fiberglass blend<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials:<\/strong> Dual layer PVC with linear drop stitch and reinforced seams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price Range:<\/strong> Low<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Performance Review of the Nautical 9\u2019 Kids Stand Up Paddle Board<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-10-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Overall Score: 9.0\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Stability: 9.1\/10<\/li>\n<li>Speed: 8.7\/10<\/li>\n<li>Tracking: 8.9\/10<\/li>\n<li>Maneuverability: 9.4\/10<\/li>\n<li>Construction Quality: 9.1\/10<\/li>\n<li>Features\/Accessories: 9.3\/10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/nautical-kids-sup\" class=\"large radius otw-button\" style=\"background-color: #3b5998;\" target=\"_blank\">Check Prices<\/a>\n<h3><strong>Stability Rating: 9.1\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-01.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-01-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Listed Capacity: 220 lbs<\/li>\n<li>Tested Capacity: 140 lbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before getting into the stability section, let&#8217;s state the obvious: I am obviously not the intended paddler size for this kids iSUP. Though I am a smaller adult (5\u20192 x 140lbs), I am a bit taller\/heavier than most kids or young teens that would be using the Nautical 9\u2019 kids board. <\/p>\n<p>That being said, the 9\u2019 x 32\u201d Nautical Kids SUP still had no issue supporting my weight and was relatively stable, despite the fact that I am too big for it. I think for an actual child, ideally 5\u2019 tall or less, this 32\u201d wide SUP would feel super solid and supportive on the water. There is almost no side-to-side tippiness due to the board\u2019s wider, more rounded shape, making it an excellent option to build confidence on the water and provide an overall more enjoyable learning experience for your junior paddler.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to clarify that the instability that I felt on the Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP wasn\u2019t particularly a wobbly or tippy feeling, but more of a difficulty staying balanced in the forwards and backwards directions. Essentially, I would have to focus on not falling on my face when I reached forward to paddle, and I had to be careful not to fall backwards if I turned my head to look behind me or to the side. This is a very typical feeling when a board is just too short for the paddlers\u2019 height, which is why I\u2019d estimate that the Nautical Kids SUP would be more ideal for paddlers 5\u2019 tall or less, probably within the 9-12 year old age range. Paddlers in the 5\u2019-5\u20198\u201d height range would likely enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/irocker-all-around-10-review\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">iROCKER 10\u2019 all-around<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Speed Test: 8.7\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><figure id=\"attachment_10685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10685\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/File_000-3.jpg\" alt=\"Nautical 9' Kids iSUP Review 2024\" width=\"750\" height=\"948\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10685\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><figure id=\"attachment_10684\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10684\" style=\"width: 1190px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/File_000-4.png\" alt=\"Nautical 9' Kids iSUP Review 2024\" width=\"750\" height=\"948\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10684\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10684\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Now, given the fact that I am too tall for the 9\u2019 Nautical Kids SUP, my sprint test was expectedly slow. However, I don\u2019t think this is indicative of how this SUP would perform for your child. <\/p>\n<p>Because my height\/weight led to some instability on this SUP, I wasn\u2019t able to fully focus on my paddling during this test. Your child on the other hand, at 5\u2019 tall or less, would not have the same size-related issues and could likely get the 9\u2019 Nautical Kids board up to speed much easier than I could. At 32\u201d wide, it will feel stable enough for your kiddo to focus on paddling instead of staying balanced, and it\u2019s light enough that your child will have no problem pulling it through the water. <\/p>\n<p>I also want to point out here that speed isn\u2019t exactly a priority for a kids board. The emphasis of this review is on whether or not your child will be able to enjoy paddling this SUP. Speed obviously does play into the enjoyment factor, but it\u2019s more important that the board feels manageable and comfortable for smaller\/growing muscles. In that regard, I think the Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP hits the mark.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tracking: 8.9\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-03.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-03-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP comes with a full sized 2+1 snaplock fin set-up (the same set that comes with any iROCKER SUP). Because of this, it has great tracking capabilities within the Kids\/Small all-around SUP category. <\/p>\n<p>At just 9\u2019 long, it is a bit sporty and maneuverable by nature, but it will keep a straight path with a few side to side adjustments every couple of strokes. For a child that is smaller than me, and thus fits the board better, it will likely have an even better capacity for tracking. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Maneuverability: 9.4\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-06.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-06-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-06-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-06-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At just 9\u2019 long, 17.2 lbs, and sporting a 2+1 dolphin fin set-up, the Nautical Kids SUP kills it in the maneuverability category. <\/p>\n<p>This SUP feels effortless to change direction with either a forward sweeping stroke or a traditional backstroke. More than that, at 32\u201d wide, the Nautical 9\u2019 SUP is stable enough for kids or young teens to attempt and hone in their step-back turns.<\/p>\n<p>The Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP is so maneuverable that I think it could be taken to the next level with just the simple addition of a raised kick-pad. Not only would it help kids and teens with foot placement on step-back turns, but it might also thrust this board into the adult SUP\/Surf Hybrid category by giving you a little more leverage to dig your fins into a wave.  <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Construction Quality: 9.1\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 9\u2019 Nautical Kids SUP construction focuses on hitting a budget friendly price-point without sacrificing lightweight build quality, rigid performance, and overall durability. Surprisingly, iROCKER was able to nail this balancing act. <\/p>\n<p>This Kids SUP is built with a linear drop stitch core encased in two layers of PVC, keeping it a child-friendly 17.2 lbs without compromising stiffness. iROCKER also doubled down on the durability and  overall lifetime of this board by incorporating a strip of seam tape on the top and bottom of the rail to keep the Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP air and water tight.  On top of that, all D-rings and action mounts seem to be well attached. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Board Stiffness:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"side-by-side-images\">\n<div class=\"side-image\"><figure id=\"attachment_10685\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10685\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_1029.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10685\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<div class=\"side-image\"><figure id=\"attachment_10684\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10684\" style=\"width: 1190px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_1030.jpg\" alt=\"Nautical 9' Kids iSUP\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10684\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10684\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Stiffness Test: 0.9375\u201d Bend <\/p>\n<p>Our Kids SUP stiffness test is completed by placing the SUP on two sawhorses placed 5 feet apart and then loading 150 lbs on the board\u2019s midpoint. We realize that this test does not imitate how the board performs on the water, but it is instead a way to compare and understand construction material and processes, as well as its effect on overall SUP performance. <\/p>\n<p>Given how budget friendly the Nautical Kids SUP is, I was extremely impressed that it gave way to less than 1\u201d of bend. 150 lbs is well above most junior paddler\u2019s size and the results of this test are consistent with how this SUP performed on the water. It had no issue supporting my weight, even as an adult weighing 140 lbs. Your junior paddler will feel very little, if any, board flex and should feel well supported to confidently learn SUP skills. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/nautical-kids-sup\" class=\"large radius otw-button\" style=\"background-color: #3b5998;\" target=\"_blank\">Check Prices<\/a>\n<h3>Features\/Accessory Review: 9.3\/10<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-15.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-15-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.supboardguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Nautical-Kids-SUP-Review-15-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>iROCKER sort of broke the norm here by loading the Nautical Kids SUP with almost as many features as their adult line. <\/p>\n<p>With this 9\u2019 SUP, your kiddo will have a front and rear 6-point cargo areas with incorporated grab handles. They\u2019ll also have an action mount, kayak seat compatibility, 3 carry handles, and a nose D-ring (so you can tow their board in strong currents or in case they get tired). Lastly, iROCKER outfitted this SUP with a cushy grooved deck pad to keep your junior paddler comfortable. This is the most versatile kids SUP we\u2019ve tested so far. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Included Accessories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP comes stock with all of the necessities to get your child happily out on the water. Included with this SUP are the following accessories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 snap lock fins<\/li>\n<li>3-piece carbon fiberglass blend paddle (kids sized; won\u2019t work for someone over 5\u2019)<\/li>\n<li>Single chamber hand pump<\/li>\n<li>8\u2019 coiled leash<\/li>\n<li>Repair kit<\/li>\n<li>SUP backpack (no wheels)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, we are pretty impressed with this kit, especially given the budget-friendly price. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that the paddle does not adjust enough to accommodate someone slightly over 5\u2019 tall. At 5\u20192\u201d the paddle was significantly too short for me, even fully extended. Obviously, children using this board will likely be below that height, but it does strictly limit this SUP kit\u2019s paddler size range and decreases its usable lifetime for your junior paddler. <\/p>\n<h2>Summary Review of the Nautical 9\u2019 Kids iSUP<\/h2>\n<p>In short, iROCKER has left us very impressed with their first try at a kids SUP. It\u2019s well sized for children below 5\u2019 tall, well constructed, loaded with features, and won\u2019t break the bank despite coming standard with an array of necessary accessories. <\/p>\n<p>The Nautical 9\u2019 Kids SUP is a great option if you\u2019re looking to share the love of paddling with the whole family as well as create memories and skills on the water that your child can take with them as they grow in the sport. <\/p>\n<p>We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed reading our review of the Nautical Kids SUP.
