The Red Paddle comes from the same model series as the 12'6" model that was also tested. However, following the same logic, it is not only shorter but also wider.

You only stand a few millimetres lower on the almost six-inch-thick board, but this gives a pleasant surfing feeling, and perhaps the design also gives the impression of a thinner shape. The side struts add to the stiffening effect, making the board look nice and direct. The large width provides a lot of security and the slim, elegantly rounded nose conveys a nice mix of speed and stability. With plenty of volume in the nose, the board carries a decent amount of luggage and the wide tail not only makes turns easy and smooth, but could also use a thick bag. The good click fin system completes the picture.

PLUS Very good equipment (pump, fin), tilt-stableMINUS nothing

CONCLUSION All-round board suitable for touring with a successful compromise between good stability and a fast ride.
