Red Racing 12’-6” Elite great for smoother waters not for me in the tippy ocean.
This is a beautifully designed board but I found it difficult to control turning wise in open ocean,choppy waters . I am an intermediate paddler / expert skier which I thought would help me but no. I could get around but it was a lot of work especially leg power unless it was calm. I had my friend an expert hard board paddler try the board and she felt the same way. I also found on land while carrying it the wind would catch the board at 12’-6” and was hard to hang onto at times. I am only 135 lbs. 5’-4”. I think I’d you live on the water and it is no big deal to get this board in the water and have good conditions this board will be wonderful . On a smooth lake it was heaven. I tried my friends red paddle sport, it was like a tank in comparison.
Cheers Doris
