Great video! Thanks for explaining the how and why of the different features. It was also very helpful to see the board’s performance when it was being paddled fast. Thanks!

Hi Angela, amazing thanks for watching!

[@Nithael_]

I’m 70kg. Perfect board for me. Great review!

[@TheSUPCompany]

Amazing! Thank you for watching :)

Great video and has got me interested. Most of my SUP is on choppy sea. As a male weighing 56kg which board would give thr greater stablity in choppy seas the compact 11 or the voyager 12? In addition overall which would be the most suitable for two to three hour rides? Thanks.

[@TheSUPCompany]

Thank you for taking the time to watch our review. Without knowing your height, its a little difficult to give a definitive answer as if you are on the shorter side, the narrower board would be the better option for tracking as well as you'll find if easier to paddle without the need to overreach due to board width. Height aside, the 11' Compact is 4 inchs wider and without doubt the more stable of the two. However, the 28 wide 12ft Voyager is stable (and rides like a 30" wide board) due to its wide tail. Features on the Voyager such as the V hull and deep twin fins (the Compact fins are very smaller - can be upgraded to deep fins like those from Moloko but options are limited due to the Click Fin box) will aid stability and see keeping. Hope this helps. If you'd like further advice drop us at a line at [e-mail]

Im debating between the 12’ voyager and the 12 compact, as far as performance goes which one would you say is better? I currently am on a red ride 10’6 which I’ve enjoyed for years but it’s time to upgrade to something that can go further, track better, and be more responsive. I love the portability of the compacts but I want the performance of the voyager! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@TheSUPCompany]

Hi Stirling, thank you for watching. Without doubt, the 12ft Voyager offers more tracking and more glide than the 12ft Compact. This is down to the 12ft Voyager being significantly narrower than Compact as well as Voyager only features such as the V hull, speed tail and deeper / longer fins. Hope this helps.

Would there be a lot a of difference in the stability for a bigger paddler closer to 85kg?

[@TheSUPCompany]

Hi Joanna, thank you for watching and the question. The 12ft Voyager suprised us a lot... it is a hugely capable board and we were a little taken a back to see Red Paddle Co pidgeon hole this board as being mainly for smaller riders. While there are certainly benefits for more pettie paddlers in this board ie: reduced thickness and width etc. It still has huge amounts to offer paddlers upto 110kgs. Stability wise it feels and rides like a wider board due to this very wide tail as well as just how far its carries its width to the nose. This combined with the reduced thickness and therefore lower centre of gravity for the paddler it feels and rides like a 30" wide inflatable. Hope this helps :)

Hi, I'm 5'10" and 150 lbs. Would you recommend the 12' or the 13'2" voyager? I'm a beginner but don't mind the challange of learning. Believe I have good balance, doing yoga, etc. Like to enjoy mostly calm lakes and some slow rivers. I'd also be intrested in mounting a centre chair on the board for some fishing. :) Any suggestion on which voyager would be best? Trying to find the video comparing all three voyagers, just not sure if you've put it out.

[@raczyk]

Does the 28" width make a large difference from the 32" voyagers? I'm about 70 kg and 5'10", which voyager would you recommend, don't mind a learning curve.

[@TheSUPCompany]

Thanks for watching. Yes, the drop in width certainly does, however, not as much as you would think as the 12ft Voyager has a very wide tail that creates a lot more stability in the board despite its 28" width. You will also find that stepping down to a thinner board will also improve stability further still as you are closer to the waters surface and end up with a more 'connected' feeling. To paddle however, in our opinion, the 12ft Voyager is more rewarding to paddle than the 12'6 Voyager. Hope this helps.

[@raczyk]

@@TheSUPCompany Thank you, thought the 12'6" would have more glide and easier to paddle. Are you saying the 12ft Voyager is more agile? I'm looking to also paddle some slow moving rivers, so looking at a board for some lake and some slow moving rivers. Therefore need some turning ability, what you think?

[@luistilli2328]

I'am 80kg, it would be suitable for my weight?

[@TheSUPCompany]

Thanks for the question Luis. Without a doubt. You will be fine on this model from Red Paddle Co.

[@luistilli2328]

@@TheSUPCompany thank you very much👍

[@JudasBytes]

is the 12.6" still available?

[@TheSUPCompany]

Thanks for watching. Yes, it is - the 12'6 x 32 Voyager is very much a main stay of the Voyager range.
