Let me start this review of with a confession; I am a huge Red Paddle Co fan! I know the boards cost a bundle but they are worth every penny if you truly want a SUP that will provide the absolute best performance and last forever. Simply put the boards are the very best inflatable SUPs in the world. Add in an amazing customer experience they also provide and you will find the extra money for a Red Paddle SUP is amazing value.
Pump: the pump is the best in the industry. This is very important as you will spend less time and effort and will be able to get on the water that much faster with this pump.
Bag: also, best in the industry. I personally don’t use my bag that much as I tend to simply roll up my board loosely and put it in my trunk as I only have to travel a short distance to the water.
The board: all Red Paddle board pump up to an amazing 25 PSI (Red recommends between 18-22 PSI). The Elite 14 x 27 has an amazing speed to stability ratio. True there are faster iSUPs but not without sacrificing stability. I wanted the fastest board Red Paddle makes but still have good stability, this is that board. It is very quick but still relatively stable. I absolutely love this board!
