Rocket Air SUP & Loco Gear: Inflatable Foil Boards That Deliver Performance

Inflatable foil boards used to be a bit of a compromise — lightweight and portable, yes, but lacking the rigidity and performance needed to truly excel at foiling. That’s no longer the case. The Rocket Air SUP changes the game by offering an inflatable foil board that combines travel freedom, stability, and the stiffness required for a high-quality foil experience. Ideal for beginners, riders with limited storage, or those who want a secondary board that doesn't feel like a downgrade, the Rocket Air is here to take your foiling experience to the next level.

However, while the Rocket Air offers fantastic performance in an inflatable package, Loco also offers alternative options that provide even greater performance for serious riders, including our Fly Air inflatable board and a full range of hard hydrofoil boards that will outpoint anything an inflatable can offer.

Let’s dive into why the Rocket Air SUP is a standout choice for paddlers seeking portability and performance, and how Loco’s Fly Air and hard boards provide even more benefits for those looking to progress further in the world of foiling.

Why Go Inflatable for Foiling? – The Key Benefits

Stiffness is critical when it comes to foil boards. The board needs to hold its shape to provide a solid foundation for foiling, particularly when you’re building speed and getting air. However, with foiling, portability and safety are also important factors. Enter the Rocket Air SUP.

This inflatable foil board combines the rigidity needed for foiling with the convenience of being inflatable. Thanks to reinforced drop-stitch construction, the Rocket Air maintains a solid shape even when inflated to high PSI levels, providing a stable and controlled ride. The board also features a dedicated foil track and a comfortable deck pad that ensures you stay connected to your board without sacrificing comfort.

Compared to rigid foil boards, the Rocket Air offers a softer landing in the event of crashes, reducing the risk of injury — especially important for beginners or those still learning the nuances of foiling. For traveling riders, the inflatable design of the Rocket Air offers significant advantages in portability — it can be packed up and stored in a car boot or even checked in as luggage on a plane, making it perfect for those who want a high-quality foil board without needing a trailer or excessive storage space.

The ability to have a high-performance foil board that fits into a travel bag is a game-changer for those who like to travel light. Whether you’re heading to distant paddling spots or just want a secondary board for different conditions, the Rocket Air SUP provides an excellent balance of portability and performance.

Performance Without the Risk – How the Rocket Air SUP Stands Out

The Rocket Air inflatable SUP holds its shape at high PSI, allowing for proper lift-off and a smooth transition from paddle to foil. Its twin-track mounting system is another standout feature, ensuring that your foil stays securely in place while still offering enough adjustability to fine-tune the setup for different foil wings and styles.

The twin-track system provides excellent control, giving you the ability to adjust your foil for both flatwater starts and more advanced maneuvers. This makes it ideal for new riders who want to focus on foot placement, balance, and confidence without worrying about perfect conditions. For beginners, it provides an opportunity to practice and progress without the risk of losing control.

Thanks to its stiffness and track system, the Rocket Air is great for learning and building confidence, offering a more forgiving ride that lets you focus on technique. It gives you the performance you need without feeling too advanced or overwhelming, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of foiling at your own pace.

Loco Compares – Fly Air and Hard Hydrofoil Boards for Serious Riders

While the Rocket Air SUP offers a solid inflatable option for paddlers who value portability and entry-level performance, Loco offers even higher-performance alternatives that cater to riders looking for serious progression.

Loco’s Fly Air SUP features a carbon plate that provides better stiffness and helps spread the forces associated with foiling more evenly. This added carbon reinforcement not only improves the board’s performance but also enhances its durability, making it an excellent choice for those who want a more responsive board that can handle higher speeds and more advanced moves. The Fly Air combines the portability of an inflatable with the performance benefits of carbon construction, offering a versatile option for those looking to advance in their foiling skills.

But for those who are serious about foil performance, Loco’s hard hydrofoil boards are the ultimate choice. Designed with rigid construction, high-performance materials, and precision craftsmanship, these boards outperform inflatable options in every category. The hard boards provide a superior connection to the water, offering unmatched stability, responsiveness, and control — all essential for advanced foiling. Whether you’re surfing or pushing the limits of speed, Loco’s hard hydrofoil boards deliver the ultimate performance, helping you to take your skills to the next level.
