Red Paddle Co 10'6" Ride - Review

[@Nik4o1977]

Thanks for the vast explanation. I am advanced rider, 82 kg and till the moment I ride 11'6 iSUP, but I have intention to buy a Red paddle one, so which one do you recommend 10'8 or this one? Thanks!

[@TheSUPCompany]

Thanks for watching and the question. Based on the little information you have provided, if you have been paddling a 11'6 board, then a 10'6 would disappoint and the 10'8 would be even worse in terms of overall glide and performance (we have a comparison video on our channel for the 10'6 & 10'8 Ride's). We'd recommend taking a look at the Red Paddle Co 11'3 Sport and longer board in their range. You will find reviews for each of these as well as comparisons on our KZbin channel. We are also happy to answer any questions via [e-mail] Happy paddling!

How do you detach the fins if they get damaged if there fixed Thanks

[@TheSUPCompany]

If you have managed to damage these fins then we would love to know how as they are as tough as old boots! But if they did need replacing an inflatable paddleboard repairer would be able to do it with ease. Simple, heat, unstick and then stick new ones on.

Would it be of any value to include in the reviews - other than the obvious - a section and footage on how the boards behaves in real water conditions, like speed, stiffness, waves & chops, etc. particularly in comparison with other brands' boards like they do for other sport equipment. Or at the end of the day it doesn't make any difference all are the same and the most important aspect of a board is the bangee upgrade to keep your flip-flops safe?

[@TheSUPCompany]

Hi Leon, thank you for taking the time to watch. Our reviews have and always will be an overview of the board in question. Last year we did and will once again make comparisons of boards from the same manufacturer within in the same 'family' ie: a comparison of the Ride 10'6 and 10'8. However, a comparison of how varying brands models perform is very much the fare of magazine such as SUPboarder (who do a great job - take a look at their paid subscription content). Also visitors to our shop can of course benefit from the UK's largest test centre so that can draw their own comparisons but we won't be openly comparing boards at similar or differnet price points anytime soon on our KZbin channel. We can of course help customers narrow down their search and make a final choice over the phone, via chat, email or in person once we know more about their paddling requirements and budget.

Hey thanks nice review,,,so which are the diferences with the same model but 2021 versión? Thanks

[@TheSUPCompany]

Thanks for watching. In terms of the boards very little indeed with the exception of the improvement to the bungee carrying straps. The real innovation is in the board bag and improvements made in the paddles design and construction. We'd strongly recommned checking out our seperate video review of the ATB board bag.
