Kokatat The Path to Level 5
Kokatat - Are you sure you don’t want to coach at a higher level? You’re already paddling in Level 5 conditions. Why not teach in them?

SUP International Red Paddle Co Voyager Tandem 15’0 Test Review
SUP International - The Voyager Tandem is a surprisingly easy board to get great speed and distance out of (provided you are in sync with your partner!), and while it has huge appeal as a big, family fun platform we think the real magic is in its ability to get two people and their kit away on an adventure. It is such a well-made board, Red are a leading force in the premium inflatable sector (which accounts for most of the market) and the Voyager Tandem is expedition-level equipment.
