New for 2017 12'0″ Endurance Touring SUP Pau Hana - Our newest addition to the Pau Hana line up for 2017 is the rugged 12'0″ Endurance displacement touring board build for off the grid adventures. Everything about the board was carefully considered to lend itself as a day or multi-day touring stand up paddle board.

NIXY 10'6" Venice Yoga ISUP Review iSUPworld - The 34" width provides lots of room and stability for all different poses.The extra soft traction pad feels very comfortable to stand, kneel, or sit on.The bungees up front allow you to secure a PFD and store your essentials but are far enough up front not to get in the way of your poses.

SUP: Non-elitist ride – Red Paddle Co Elite 12.6ft x 26" 2016 review SUP Mag UK - After the joy that was Red Paddle Co's Sport 12.6ft we couldn't wait to take the described more performance orientated Elite for a spin. Designed as the brand's race sled it certainly looks up to the job. There's no pussy footing around here. Red's Elite is an extremely flat rockered board. A very subtle curve runs through the entire length of the Elite – its progressive bend is designed to excel in straight lines, there's no question.
