I chose Red Paddle after reviewing what the market had to offer and after using Red Paddle Boards in an instructional session and in hires. The quality of the boards was obvious from the condition of the hire boards, which obviously get a lot of harsh treatment. It was a difficult decision which board to go for and I was impressed to receive a video recommendation from Red Paddle direct. In the end I chose the Ride 10’8” and then purchased another one from the 2020 range. This board and all the associated equipment make me happy every time and I am using the second board to encourage friends and family to get into SUP. I have also bought a few accessories and they are also excellent. In addition to the superb quality of all the equipment, after sales support from Red Paddle has been beyond expectations giving advice on how best to choose and use their products and to get the most out of Paddleboarding. I am really pleased I discovered SUP and especially pleased I chose Red Paddle Co. There is no company to touch them.
