Had used a hired 10’8” Red sup before deciding to buy one. We have another brand of board too which although it’s very good the Red suited my weight and limited experience much better. It’s super stable and rigid and all the ancillaries that come with it are the best you can get.....the bag alone would probably cost £100. The Red is more money than most SUPs but it really is well made and if you want to upgrade or get bored (board 😀) with it then they seem to command a decent price on the 2nd hand market. I tried to get one but they were sold as soon as being listed. Once ordered it arrived quickly and I was kept informed of progress right up to delivery. Very happy with my new board.
