Hi Reuben. At your weight, how does the 9'8" Ride surf comapred to say a Fanatic Stubby Air? I ended up selling my stubby as I found it a bit too advanced and unstable in the choppy waves where I live, and very slow on the flat. I'm looking into boards again and want an isup thats more stable but still surfs really well. The 9'8 has always caught my attention as I found the 10'6 too stable with not much performance. Any recommendations? I was also looking at the Honu Bondi 9.3", the Itiwit 10ft, or even a cheaper 9'8" Fanatic Fly Air Pure? Thanks.
hi, I am looking at voyager 12,0 as a kind of also all-around board, with touring option:) How does it compare to ie 11 Sport in this area? Is it easy enough to manoeuvre (in comparison to ie 11,0 ) and does it behave well in a sea?
Hi, thanks for the comment. Sorry for the delay in replying. The 12'0 Voyager would be fairly similar to handle with the reduced width. It would feel very fast compared to the Sport too. Yes, the Voyager would work well for ocean paddling. Just be aware that the 28" width can make it feel wobbly in fairly bumpy conditions. All in all, it would be a great upgrade and perfect for your paddling. Hope this helps. Thanks, Beau
Good afternoon. I have a similar question, about a universal board. Only the choice between Voyager 13.2 and Elite 14x27. That at your look it will be better. It is planned to use 80% on the rivers, lakes and quiet water and 20% for the sea.
which model would you recommend for 180 pound paddler fitness paddling 1-2 hours and some fishing from a seated position with 10-20 pounds of gear? wish they had D rings near the middle to tie down a cooler.
Hey Dennis a redpaddleco.com/en-us/product/126-voyager/ is a great size for that kind of thing, or a redpaddleco.com/en-us/product/113-sport/ . The Voyager will be fastest and best board probably. Thanks Reuben
Hey Mark. Hmm tricky one! What do you want to use it for? For fast cruising and light touring I would take the sport. But if its more touring and longer paddles I would go for the Starboard. What are you wanting to do with it ? Thanks Reuben
@@SUPboardermag ideally just an all-round versatile board that potentially may be my only one. I live in the Seattle area, so there's lots of water variety nearby (large lakes, rivers, ocean). I want something fun and flexible that I can grow into, but still have performance to handle variety, and maybe do occasional 1/2-day trips as I improve. From what I'm reading, it sounds like I can't go wrong either way :)
@@markpalfreeman cool, yeah both are great, but if its a more all round board you are after I would go for the Sport. Its a very versatile board that I use loads and I have even taken out in small waves. Thanks Reuben
@@markpalfreeman Hi. I had a similar choice of universal board. After Red paddle Sport 11.3 I wanted either Red paddle elite 14x27 or Red paddle voyager 13.2x30. He eventually bought Voyager. In my opinion, a very interesting model.
@@SUPboardermag Вы не правы в том, что Red Paddle Sport 12,6 шире, чем Starboard Touring Deluxe 12 '6. Red paddle sport 12.6 имеет ширину 30 ″, а Starboard Touring Deluxe 12'6 - 31 ”. Главный плюс у доски от Red на мой взгляд, возможность раздувать до 25 PSI и ребра rss

Hey Chris I believe I've already got back to you on email :-)

Hey Alexsey, Got a few questions for you. What hight and weight are you? And do you want to put gear on the board? Thanks Reuben

Very nice video, thank you very much!!!
Glad it helped.
Red paddle or bluefin?
Big decision there. Really depends on your paddling needs and what you are using the board for.
@@SUPboardermag looking to do some flatwater training and touring.
Heavy guy, 110kg and 1.90m
The 10'8 Red is a great stable board. More money but lighter to carry then the bluefin.
@@wouterrombouts9347 Только не 10,8 под твой рост/вес надо доску 12,6 длиной и ширину 32. Можно 30 будет быстрее плыть, но немного хуже баланс.
Which would you take between the Red Sport 12'6" and Starboard 12'6" Touring Deluxe?

Best all round sup, money no object?
I personally like the Sport 11'. Light, stiff and so easy to paddle. Not too wide and feels pretty quick too. But thats me at 75kg . Thanks Reuben
@@SUPboardermag will it turn in the surf? How would the new compact compare? Will be used in sea all of the time down Gower.
Sería interesante poner subtítulos en español, ahí lo dejo.
Thanks for your comment. I think UA-cam will put in Spanish subtitles for you?
