Testing the Red WindSUP 10'7

Here's a short video where I try out the Red Paddle Co's WindSUP 10'7 for the first time. I'm using it with a Red Ride 3.5m sail, on what was a light wind day. This kit has been bought by Ballyholme Yacht Club to start windsurf training in 2023. I found the board to be very easy to use, from the light weight in carrying it to the water, to the effectiveness of the fin and daggerboard to track upwind.
I hope you find this video interesting and thanks for watching!

Nice video. Would be also useful to show how big is the sail packed (as that info is often quite difficult to find).

Replying to myself - manufacturer website shows the travel bag - unfortunately it is not very travel friendly (very long).

@@pkundrat the rig comes in a boom size bag (the boom is fixed length of reach rig size). Mast, boom, sail and mast base all fit in to that bag.

Thank you for the video. How does it handle with a bit of chop? Does it slice through waves well?

Because it's inflatable and is deeper than a hard board, it tends to ride higher anyway. So the experience I've had so far with it has been in small chop, where it handles it ok. The real benefit with these boards is their weight when compared to a similar size beginners board in 'hard' construction.

Thanks for the informative video. Does it manage to plain effectively? My daughter is a beginner but my wife is intermediate, so hoping it would meet both their needs (with a smaller rig for my daughter)

@@AdrianxGill we're using them at the club for the RYA Start Windsurfing course, so now experience trying one in planing conditions. I do see someone locally on a similar WindSUP and it will plane. The biggest issue would be there are no footstraps, so whilst you could sail in teh harness, you can't lock yourself in!
