Interesting. It may depend on where you order it from. Our demo board came from Green Water Sports (with the transformer bag) and their product description indicates the same. It may also be a change in model year product kits. We’ll check into it. Thanks.

Aileen,

I like both brands, but we haven’t been able to review the 10’7 ERS for a few years so I can’t say how that would compare to the current 10’6 Red. I will say that we have all been super impressed with this version of the Red and think you would love the feel on the water.

Mel,

We haven’t reviewed the latest Bay Sports Sups, but I would say that Red Paddle Co’s 10’6 Ride is better than the ones I have paddled in the past. Another board you could consider would be the iRocker 10′ Ultra as it’s a lot lighter than the 10 All-Around (and I love how compact it is).

Thinking of purchasing either Red Paddle Co 10.6 or ERS Skylake 10-7 S3/Blue (prefers 5″ thick). Have you tried ERS? I’m not a beginner nor advanced and would mainly be using the board on coastal water. I’m 5’5 and weighs 130 lbs. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Did you purchase a Ride MSL? And are you referring to the action mount near that front handle on top of the board, and have you tried using some rust dissolver (use with a q-tip and don’t get any on the SUP)?

I purchased a RED paddle board and have used it a dozen times if that and the screw fixing at the front of the board has rusted which according to RED is acceptable as it it does not detract from the functionality of the board. I would not have paid this amount of money if I knew the screw fixings would rust. Very disappointed.

Amy,

Great questions! I would recommend going with a 32″ or less board given your shoulder issues and the fact that you are currently OK on a 31″ SUP. You will have a harder time keeping the paddle vertical on a wider board, and that might especially be true for someone with a shoulder issue.

With Seagods, yes they are new. I can’t guarantee they are going to be around as much as I can with Red Paddle Co or iRocker. However, I really think you would be great with a board from them if that’s what your leaning to. I can tell you that the founders care A TON about their boards and their customers, and that means a lot to us here at Supboardguide. I personally would feel 100% solid ordering from them. Their boards and accessories feel fantastic, and I think you will really enjoy them.

In reply to Justin – SupBoardGuide.

Thanks so much for the info. I have only ever had one sup, so I’m open to a board that suits my needs. My other concern when researching the boards is I’m not sure how much of a problem the 34″ width would hinder my actual ability to paddle properly as I would require more reach, correct? I suffered a lower back injury and this seems to be the only activity I can do that doesn’t provoke any pain. I quite enjoy the look and warranty of the sea Gods boards, however, they are relatively new to the field. I’m not opposed to spending the money on a board as long as it performs what I need it to. Lol I’m trying to get ahead of the rush on boards. Thanks
