Gear Talk / Re: Red Paddle Co Elite 14' 2017 for big guy

Thank you for all comments, i made my decision now. Las summer i tried and really liked Red Paddle Co Elite 14', which practically is the same as this year Red Paddle Co Race 14'. Because i am still going to do a lot of touring, i decided (with your help), that Race will be better option for me. I already ordered it, and now am waiting

100% of the time i am paddling in flatwater (rivers, lakes) in all conditions. Most of the time i am just touring, but recently i found myself wanting to race (already participated in few races). Currently i have Red Paddle Co Sport 12'6", which is perfect for my touring, but for racing i would like something 14" and narrower.

After reading comments and review of elite board, i know think that Red Paddle Co would be better for me. Theres is only one concern for me - weight. I weight as much as red declares the maximum weight of the paddler. Would it be an issue? With sport i have no problem, because i still have 30kg to reach the maximum weight, and with Race (or elite) i would would exactly the maximum. Of course, at the moment i am working on losing some weight.

Gear Talk / Red Paddle Co Elite 14' 2017 for big guy

Hi, i am a quite bit guy (6'3" and 120kg (265 pounds)). I am looking for an inflatable race board. For now i have been a fan of Red Paddle Co Boards and at the moment i have Sport 12'6", but i want a longer, narrower and faster board. However i do not have an opportunity to test Elite 14', because there are none of them at the moment in the country i live.

I would like to ask your oppinion, if that board would be ok for me? As i read online, i found suggestions, that this board is recommended for people under 6' tall and under 90kg of weight. Would my height and weight be an issue?

SUP General / RRD Airtourer Lightstripe

« on: September 14, 2015, 03:04:02 AM »

Hi all,

i am trying to find iSUP for my selft, but dont want to spend lot of money, because it's my first one. At the moment i am thinking about RRD Airtourer Lightstripe 12′ x 34″ x 6″. I Would like to ask for any opinions about this board. As i understand there is only one PVZ layer and that blue line is the second layer. I am very interested in the durability of this board. Won't it be too ease to perforate it? won't it bent in time, because of my weight (260lbs)?

Anny comments are appreciated.

SUP General / Fanatic Fly Air Touring VS Aquamarina SPK-4

Hi, i am planning to buy an iSUP, and i am thinking about one of those two. Price difference is about 120 Euro. Fanatic Air Touring is not the premium, but stringer technology (blue), and 11'0 length. This would by my first iSUP, so it would be very nice if i could get any advices. I am 6'6" and 260 pounds.
