The New Year comes with a lot of pressure.
New goals. New routines. A “new you.”
But at iROCKER, we don’t believe the New Year is about reinventing yourself overnight. We believe it’s about honoring what brought you here in the first place — that moment you decided you wanted to spend more time on the water — and building on it.
Whether you’ve been on 20 paddles since unboxing,
or your board is still waiting for its first splash,
you’re exactly where you need to be.
That’s where a SUP Bucket List comes in.
Not as a checklist.
Not as a competition.
Just as a reminder of why you started.
A Bucket List That Fits Your Life
A SUP Bucket List doesn’t have to mean epic expeditions or far-off travel (unless you want it to). Sometimes it’s about consistency. Sometimes it’s about curiosity. Sometimes it’s just about getting back on the water.
Some goals shared by the iROCKER community include:
Getting on the board once a week — no excuses
Catching one sunrise paddle each month
Paddling more with a dog or family member
Exploring a new body of water close to home
Planning a bigger trip when the timing feels right
Big goals. Small habits. Quiet moments. Bold adventures.
All of it counts.
Inspired by Our Ambassadors
Some of the best SUP Bucket List ideas come straight from the people who live this lifestyle every day.
Kayle set out with a simple goal: paddle more often and say yes to new water. What started as short, local paddles turned into multi-day trips and exploring waterways she’d never seen before — all by building confidence one paddle at a time.
Liam took his board on the road, traveling with his SUP and using it as a way to slow down and explore places differently. His bucket list wasn’t about distance or speed — it was about experiencing new locations from the water and letting paddling shape his travels.
Neither started with a “perfect” plan. They started where they were.
Your Board, Your Intentions
Your board was never about doing more — it was about doing what feels right to you. Whether that means chasing adventure, building a weekly habit, or simply finding quiet moments on the water, your SUP Bucket List should fit your life, not the other way around.
So start small. Dream big if you want. Adjust as you go.
We’ll be right here, cheering you on — paddle by paddle.
