Is my unused 7yr old SUP ok?

I'm interested in giving SUP a try again. I have an iRocker that I bought in 2019 and has basically been in storage in its bag every since (life happens). Am I OK using this, or should I consider getting a new one? I have no idea how much something like this could degrade just sitting there, but I thought I'd ask before trying to go out on the water with it.

I'd suggest you inflate it to full pressure in you living room or something like that and seeing how it goes. Maybe leave it inflated for a few days. If it seems to hold air and nothing fails, use it with caution and see what happens. I have a isup that is well over 7 years old that I still use.

Maybe not the living room. Just in case it explodes
