I started paddleboarding during the lockdowns after an accident. Felt the water was the place for me to be. After building experience, I wanted what I was told were the best inflatables. Red. So, with the help of Red Paddle Co. I managed to source a 13 2 voyager for my fundraiser. I took the board from my home base in Essex and toured 3 lakes for charity. Since then I've used it on several 10km+ paddles along Southend seafront. The 13 2 is a terrific board, extremely sturdy, loves the chop, equally smooth in the calm. Also love the fact it has 3 camera mounts for helping take great footage. Love the Carbon100 paddle too, nice and light and a real bonus on longer trips on the water.
