FIND YOUR PERFECT PADDLE BOARD
Choosing a paddle board is about making sure it is perfect for you, so you get the most from your board and the best paddling experience.
Our paddleboards come in many lengths, widths and thickness' due to each range being built for different uses, so it is important to look into what each board offers to ensure it fits your desired usage.
If you need help choosing which of our paddleboards is right for you, get in touch with our friendly and knowledgable team.
Thickness
This is probably the single most important dimension of them all. So many inflatable boards on the market are 6” thick. This is inherently wrong, especially for boards shorter than 12’6” in length.
Riding a 6” board that is less than 12’6” in length does not deliver that no compromise, authentic experience we are so passionate about. Not only will it take far longer to pump up, but you will also feel unstable as your centre of gravity will be higher and wind and chop will push the board around. All this will make you feel more unstable and less confident.
It’s a compromise.
However these 6” thick boards don’t have the technology to be able to deliver stiffness without that thickness, so they stay with 6” – meaning a poor paddling experience for the rider.
Our MSL material is what allows us to make thinner boards. The reinforced, bidirectional core means it is super stiff (stiffer than a basic 6” thick board) and at 4” or 4.7” thick you feel more connected with the water and therefore you have more control and confidence. This is as vital when you start out paddling as it is when you are a proficient, expert paddler.

Length
The length of the board essentially dictates what the board is used for. A longer board will go faster and further in a straight line, so race boards and touring boards are always longer for this reason. On balance, a shorter board will more easily turn and be a bit nippier, so these boards are great for surfing and catching waves.
Width
If the length affects how the board can be used, then the width will influence the stability of the board. Our Race boards are super narrow at 27 and 28 inches long, so they cut through the water quickly but are not the most stable boards!
Comparatively all the boards in our Ride range are between 31” and 34” which ensures that they are super stable and great for new paddle boarders.

MEET OUR RANGE
With an extensive range of boards, we are certain we have the perfect SUP for you.
THE RIDE RANGE
Our best selling paddle board, our all-round Ride boards are a great option for beginners but are equally as fun and versatile for more experienced paddlers looking for easy-access, all-round adventures, especially if you have extra passengers with you. Our Ride boards are incredibly tough and stable, performing well in a variety of conditions and waterways.
They range from 9 – 11ft in length and are wider (32”- 34”) and slightly thinner (4” – 4.7”) than their touring counterparts to deliver a more stable paddling experience, great for multi-person paddling too. If you want a family board to that will serve you well for years to come – look no further.
THE COMPACT RANGE
Half the size means double the adventure! The flagship of Red innovation, our Compact boards push the boundaries of what an inflatable board can be… Unique to Red, the Compact design is a patented technology that utilises our MSL PACT material that makes paddling more convenient and more accessible than ever before as these boards pack down incredibly small whilst still delivering unrivalled performance.
Our Compact boards combine the convenience of an all-in-one package with the high performance and stylish features that Red Paddle Co boards are famous for. These boards are ideal for paddlers who want a lightweight solution to travel and explore without limitation! For those in the know, these are our some of our most coveted boards.
THE VOYAGER RANGE
If you’re heading off on a multi-day trip or are just looking to go a bit further with a heap of kit, these are the boards for you. Its increased length and thickness compared to an all-round board make it an ideal board for cruising through longer outings, and our patented RSS system offers unrivalled stiffness.
The extra length also means it can easily handle a child or dog on the front while you paddle, and you can use the extensive cargo areas for camping or picnic gear. You’ll feel extra confident paddling out on these boards, knowing that it offers enhanced performance and stability in all conditions. The Red Voyager boards also benefit from our innovative V-hull, meaning you will glide through the water like never before.
THE SPORT RANGE
Built for speed, and performance, the Red Sport inflatable paddle boards are the drop-top roadster of the Red Paddle Co range. Ideal for paddlers looking to up their paddling game - perfect to progress onto from an all-round board, like the Red 10'6” Ride.
The Red Sports SUP range has been designed with a focus on speed and dynamic performance. The sleek shape and the drawn-out nose gives maximum glide across the water, meaning you can paddle further for longer. You’ll be amazed how much further you can go and how much quicker verses other inflatable boards. Plus, our better than ever RSS battens which are unique to Red will keep your board super stiff.
