Although it took me a while to get hold of my Red Paddle 11’3 sport SE I can honestly say it was well worth the wait. I had been using a fairly expensive board from another large and well known manufacturer as a stopgap but the difference between the two boards was like night and day. The first time I stood up on the 11’3 I could feel how much more stable it was and that was before even paddling one stroke, it inspires confidence and will definitely take your paddle boarding to the next level. I was covering longer distances much more easily right from the word go on this board. I have to say that everything about the Red Paddle experience has been first class. From the quality of the board and the rest of the package through to the customer service and the mail order department you get the impression that it’s a company that genuinely cares about what they sell and the people they sell it to. I emailed a query to their customer service team and had a personal response in less than five minutes, you don’t get service like that often. So to sum up I would have to say Red is best !.
