Retrospec Weekender 10'6" review

The Weekender is the lowest-cost way to try paddle boarding without buying a toy. Retrospec's $199.99 sale price (regular $289.99) covers a 10'6" by 32" by 6" board plus a dual-action pump, a backpack, a 3-piece paddle that adjusts up to 7 ft, removable fins, a leash, a repair kit and a waterproof phone case. The board weighs 17.5 lb, tied with the Atoll Cove as the lightest here, and Retrospec lists a 275 lb recommended capacity, the same as Tower's All Around. Retrospec pitches it at weekend paddles on calm lakes and bays and shoreline cruising in light wind, which matches a first season. The page shows a 2-year warranty. What it lacks is detail: Retrospec describes AerGlide-Lite PVC but does not publish a layer count or a maximum pressure on the product page, so it is harder to compare its stiffness with the welded or fused boards from Thurso, Atoll and Red. Treat it as a low-risk first board, not a long-term touring platform.
