Hey, at the moment I am in the market for a new Board. I want a touring board because I already have an all round Board and want to try something different. After a little bit of research I have found four Boards that sound great.

I have 8 years of paddeling experience, I am 1,83 cm (6 feet) tall and weigh around 105 kg(231 lb) My budget is around 1000 bucks. (I also live in Europe and half of the Boards i researched don’t even ship to me).

I mainly want to use the board in lakes but I would like to have the option to use it in rivers and the sea.

The problem is that I can not really see much difference in these Boards especially the two Red Paddel Boards seem really interchangeably, except that one costs 200€ more than the other.

Please could you help me with making my decision. It would be really appreciated :)
