Our board production facility is independently audited by leading third-party inspectors SMETA. It assesses standards of labour, health and safety, environmental performance, and ethics. All of our major suppliers are up to date in being REACH compliant – an advanced EU regulation which aims to protect human health and the environment.

We avoid the use of all single use plastic, and have significantly reduced the amount of packaging we use overall. Where possible we use recyclable reclaimed or recycled paper or cardboard, and biodegradable bags. Our cardboard packaging does not use any adhesives, so no toxins are added through glue. Changes that we have made have pushed us ever closer to our goal of 100% compostable packaging.

An inflatable board without a bag and pump? Whatever next?

As our global community of paddlers grows, upgrades, swaps and shares their boards - we wanted to make it easier for paddlers to get all the kit they need, not what the board requires to function. It's one of the biggest ways we can reduce waste and it's why we offer board-only options. Like the boards, our Titan 2 pump and All Terrain Backpack are built for adventure - the last thing we want to do is condemn them to a life in storage as 'spares', especially if you already own a Red package or two. With this in mind we've made it possible for you to buy exactly what you need to transport, inflate and paddle without compromise.
