10'6" Ride MSL

Decent all around board. It's stable enough to bring my 70lb lab for a paddle around the lake. I had an issue with the first generation 10.6 and Red Paddle was quick to resolve the issue. Great customer service! My only complaint is the board is kind of slow.

We tried out several boards before deciding to go with the very versatile Red Paddle Co 10'6" Ride. We don't have a lot of space for storage so the fact that it's an inflatable was a key selling point. It comes with a back pack/bag and a dual chamber Titan pump that makes for pretty easy inflating. In addition there's a handy water resistant phone case and repair kit. We are new to the sport (2years) and find the boards easy to maneuver as well as pretty stable. We have taken the boards on everything from rivers, choppy ocean, flat calm ocean, and lakes and have had a blast. We haven't done any surf just yet but I look forward to that happening in the near future. Pros It's a great package deal. Cons Haven't found any yet! Usage mainly touring, some yoga

This is a perfect SUP board for touring, it is versatile and stable. Every family member have tried it, even my parents enjoyed it. The board slides lightly, thus you can reach a good speed. Cargo tie-downs is also a big advantage, as that allows you to take the necessary stuff with you without fearing to lose them in the water. Pros Cons Usage Touring

I bought the Red Paddle Board based on all the reviews out there and so far it has delivered. I've kept both of mine inflated and I transport them in my truck. I've yet to hit the surf with mine as I have just cruied the flat water of my local harbors Pros Very stable, wide platform. Cons Tracking. On the standard SUP's I've paddled I can take 4-5 strokes per side without having to transition to the other side to keep straight. The small 3 fin system for me allows me only two strokes and then I have to switch sides in order to keep tracking straight. Usage Exercise, touring.

The red paddle 10'6 ride is the first board I have bought after having a lesson. I find it to be incredibly stable and easy to paddle. The biggest advantage for me is its portability. I can throw it in the boot of my car (not even a big car!) and travel off to explore the coast, or, more local to me, the canal system- and yes, I have had some funny looks! The bag is superb, so robust that I am planning to travel with the board overseas using it. It feels solid and can even fit the red paddle Titan pump in too. Initially I worried about punctures using an inflatable board but my word, these things are built to last! My next adventure is to attempt to catch a wave which is my summer ambition when I holiday down to Cornwall! All in all, for a beginner who needs mobility, this board is first class! Pros Portability Cons On the heavy side (but shows the quality of the internal drop stitch) Usage Exercise. Canal cruising. Surf (hopefully!)

I got on a paddleboard for the first time this past weekend in Destin, Fl. The conditions were favorable, and the board was amazing! Lightweight, very stable, easy enough to handle for a beginner. Also great for on the water sunbathing. Even as a beginner I was able to hold a side plank without getting wet. Pros Lightweight, stable, easy to handle Cons With nothing to compare it to it was not that easy to turn Usage Exercise and touring

This is the board I rode this summer on my first ever attempts at SUP Paddleboarding. It is a really attractive SUP to look at, and just the right length and size for me ( I am 5'6 and a half!). It felt really stable in the water, perfect for those first tentative attempts to stand up and paddle without falling into the ocean! By the end of the summer holiday, I had even attempted SUP yoga on this lovely paddle board, and even when the waterski boat came quite close it stayed stable in the water! On the last day of the summer holiday, I paddled out on my lovely Red Paddle Co SUP paddle board out to the middle of the ocean and just watched the sun glittering on the waves. Just magical. I loved this board and wished that I could have taken it home with me! Pros Beautiful SUP board, good size, very attractive, stable in the water, ankle strap to keep it attached to its rider! The children loved it as much as I did! Cons Nothing! Only the fact that I couldn't take it home with me! Usage Stand up paddling (leisure), Sup Yoga., exercise.

Surprisingly sturdy considering it is an inflatable board! Pros Sturdy. Ideal length for shorter faster trips and just crusing. Cons Deck got dirt and stayed dirty after a cople of uses Usage Touring.

This is, in my opinion, the best inflatable in the market. After some years of paddling a solid board, I tried the redpaddle 10 6 and I can say it is a great all round board with almost the same performance as the solid boards. Pros The construction quality, with top grade materials. Its stiffness. The Titan pump. Cons The rounded rails make surfing this board a little less optimal than surfing a solid board. Usage All round board: touring, surfing little waves, exercise...

For our first boards after one taster session on 'solid' boards on a lake these have been incredible. Light, manoeuvrable, stable and most of all... great fun. Pros Easy to inflate Very stable Easy transport and store Cons Nothing yet Usage Touring but looking forward to some sea action ☺

I purchased my Red Paddle board late in the summer of 2013 so I was only able to ride it a couple of times. But luckily I have been able to enjoy her for the whole summer of 2014 and I have loved almost every minute of it. It is a smooth and comfortable ride and I would recommend the Red Paddle board to anyone. My favorite thing is to go boarding bright and early in the morning. It is just me on my board in an empty lake and it feels like I am the only person on the planet. It is the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced. Pros Living in a condo restricts me from having a regular solid board, so the fact that Red Paddle sells an inflatable board is ideal for me. I am able to store it in the closet and it fits in the back seat of my car. I like that I don't have to install racks on my car in order to transport it from place to place. And I can also take it with me on vacation if I so choose to. What I like the best about the Red Paddle is the comfort and stability. Being an inflatable it is softer on the feet when paddling for long periods of time, and softer on the body when you fall. And being a newbie to the sport, I fall periodically :) I like how wide the board is as it offers me more stability. Overall it is a nice smooth comfortable ride. And very comfortable if you just want to float around and read a good book too. Cons The only con I have found is the pump that is provided for the board. According to the video on the Red Paddle web page it can be inflated easily in just a few minutes. I did not find this to be true at all. It took me 20 minutes of continuous pumping and I was unable to get the last few pounds of air in to reach the recommended minimum of 15 PSI. I have since purchased a BTP two stage electric turbo pump with a portable battery. I had to epoxy the valve from the Red Paddle pump into the hose of the BTP pump but now it works perfectly. Usage I mostly use my board for exercise and touring. I like to challenge myself to go further and further each time, and to explore new locations. And I love that I have the option of standing, sitting or just laying around. Its a great way to spend the entire day. Pack a lunch and bring along my tunes and I am set for the day.

A great board for the all round paddler, it floats and glides easily on flat water, while still riding smoothly and predictably in surf. Pros Light weight, but sturdy. Really compact and convenient, all the more so given its suitable for most waters, be it lake or ocean. Cons When the waves are killer, I wish it would inflate that little bit quicker. Usage Exercise, leisure, surf and still waters. It comes with me wherever I go, allowing for me to keep my passion alive throughout the year.

This is a great all round board from your first ride when your learning to small surf. It's great if you want to explore the bays around your hotel when you take it on holiday too. The fact that is comes from a company who's staff all ride the boards they produce and sell means they don't like second best. I have paddled this board on white water too and even after getting it wrong and hitting major rocks, it didn't show a single mark on it. There is a debate that inflatable boards are slower than solid boards to ride and the speed difference is true but if you are a beginner or occasional paddler then you will not need that difference. Pros Ride,stability,longevity,load capacity, build quality, easily stored, easy to transport. Cons Not so quick to turn in the surf. Usage Exercise,surf, touring,white water,fitness training.
