"This is a great all-round, amazing quality board from Red - an exclusively ISUP (Inflatable stand-up paddle board) brand that were the first to revolutionise the market compatible model. When the board is rolled up and stored in its bag it is half the size of all other ISUPS. It's great on flat water and on the sea with small waves."

"Far better suited to beginner tourers than Red’s earlier 12ft 6in and 13ft 2in Voyager boards, this is the next step up from an all-rounder. If you’re ready for adventure, the Voyager 12 is dream to paddle."

"While it touts a laundry list of handy features, from the cargo tie downs to the grippy deck, perhaps the biggest benefit is its speed and efficiency."

"We’d be very happy taking the Compact 8’10 as a one-board-quiver daily driver on a trip with a variety of paddling themes from good surf to general cruising."

"A SUP on the higher end of many budgets out there, Red Equipment's paddle board more than delivers on the grand you'll spend on it."
