Which of these boards would you recommend for a rider of 109 kilos plus equipment for a 3-day trip, 50km per day. I would go on 2 such trips and a couple of 5-10 km a year on rivers.
Hi, I'm 5'10" and 150 lbs. Would you recommend the 12' or the 13'2" voyager? I'm a beginner but don't mind the challange of learning. Believe I have good balance, doing yoga, etc. Like to enjoy mostly calm lakes and some slow rivers. I'd also be intrested in mounting a centre chair on the board for some fishing. :) Any suggestion on which voyager would be best?
The 12' Voyager would be a board to grow into. The 13'2" will suit you now and also suit yoga and fishing better as it'll have more deck space and be more stable. greenwatersports.com/shop/product-tag/touring?filter_brand=red-paddle-co
I would query whether the board you tried was inflated properly or even had the orange plastic stiffener inserted? As a 50 plus, heavyweight, virtual beginner, having previously SUP'd only a few times before purchasing a Red Paddle Co 12'6" Voyager, I found it to be the most stable board I had ever paddled on. I have barely fallen from it in three years, whereas I was constantly falling off of the 10 foot or 10' 6" boards I'd previously paddled with. I would still class myself as a beginner as I don't get to paddle much at all. I do know though that these boards are extremely stable, and I have absolutely no affiliation to Red Paddle Co, just stating my observations.

12'6" Voyager. It has the best capacity and stability for larger paddlers and extra weight.

Found this board not good for beginners a bit unstable
