WELCOME

We’ve been making inflatable SUP boards since 2008 and that’s all we make.This focus allows us to look at the world of inflatable boards from a unique perspective and it allows you to own a product that is designed to give you the absolute best experience possible.

We believe that owning an inflatable board should not mean you have to compromise on performance, looks or quality. We believe riding one of our boards offers the ultimate in convenience but this should not be at the expense of the performance.

We’ve always thought of the design of our boards as so much more than just how they look .To design a board is only part of the process We consider the whole experience. Because owning an inflatable board is also about storage, transportation, ease of inflation, as well as on water performance.z Owning a Red Paddle Co inflatable board is about the whole package, the real deal and not an experience that will leave you wanting more.

The 2015 range is without doubt the best yet. Thank you for coming along for the ride.

TECHNICAL INFO

Tec Air

Thickness

Tec Air is not a product, it’s a process. By focussing in on the key areas of the production process we have been able to identify ways we can improve the end result. Whether it be detailing exactly where and how the layers are bonded or how the rocker curve is applied to the board, no area of the design process is ignored.

The thickness of any board is as impor tant as the length and the width. The thickness of an inflatable board is even more impor tant as it not only has an effect on flotation but also stiffness - everybody needs and wants the stiffest board possible. Thicker boards are stiffer but building them too thick reduces responsiveness. We therefore use three thicknesses: 100mm/3.93”, 120mm/4.72” and 150mm/5.90”.

The key areas of construction are inside the board. Our attention to detail on the inside ensures the best experience on the outside. Tec Air means stiffer boards and an authentic experience.

page 4

No area of the design process is ignored

This allows us to deliver the authentic SUP experience that we feel so strongly about. We also have our patented RSS stiffening system that allows us to increase stiffness where performance would otherwise be lost.

100mm/3.93” This thickness is perfect for boards with a surfing orientation. It gives you better control and feel on moving water and with the RSS system you get a board that is stiffer than any other board of this kind available today.

120mm/4.72” This thickness gives a board that has the perfect volume and feel for all round use, whether it be sliding along on a wave, gliding up the creek or across the bay. The world’s biggest selling inflatable SUP board, the Red Paddle Co 10’6”, is built in 120mm/4.72” thickness.

150mm/5.90” This thickness gives you a board that floats high out of the water and therefore is ideal for creating maximum glide on flat water or maximum speed on the race course. Add the RSS system to these boards and you have the highest performing inflatable SUP board available.

FINS iFIN

iFIN

US BOX SYSTEM

US BOX SYSTEM

Fins Nothing comes close to our tried and tested iFin system.

Zero warranty requests since we star ted using the system means that we remain confident that it is the best option. No tools, replacements or spares are needed for the iFin system.

They deliver great performance and are the most durable fin available.

page 6

The Explorer, Spor t and Race designs use a US Box system to allow for rider tuning. This is a global fin standard so fins can easily be replaced if lost.

RSS

Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) The patented RSS system is unique to Red Paddle Co. By inser ting stiffening battens into pockets on the side of the board we have been able to increase the stiffness of our boards by up to 40%.

We use the RSS system on all 100mm/3.93” boards (excluding 9’4” ) to bring them up to the same stiffness as our 120mm/4.72” boards but still maintaining the great manoeuvre characteristics of a 100mm/3.93” board. To engineer the best system, the pockets are individually laminated into position.

The Ride family

The 9’8” Ride

What’s your Ride? – Choose the board that best fits your desired usage and body weight.

Designed to deliver a great surfing shape for riders up to 95kg/210lb and a perfect all round board for the sub 70kg/154lb rider. The 9’8” is 100mm/3.93” thick for increased performance and manoeuvrability and is fitted with RSS to ensure rigidity is not compromised.

As the spor t has progressed we have seen the need for a Ride style board for different weight paddlers. This is why we developed the three sizes that make up the Ride family.

The 10’6” Ride The inflatable board everyone loves. The 10’6” Ride is the world’s favourite inflatable SUP. Stable and easy to use for a broad range of paddlers. Happy paddling up the river or catching a wave, the 10’6” is the perfect all-rounder.

The 10’8” Ride Perfect for bigger riders or the family paddler who wants to carry passengers. Super-stable, the 10’8” Ride is an easy ride.

What’s your Ride?

The 10’6” and 10’8” Ride boards are 120mm/4.72” thick. This increases stiffness while not affecting the ride and performance of these iconic boards. The 120mm/4.72” thickness means that the rider can obtain greater stiffness at lower pressure. The 120mm/4.72” board is more than 40% stiffer than a standard 100mm/3.93” board at the same pressure.

The combination of overall width plus the wide tail creates an unbelievably stable platform making the 10’6” and 10’8” Ride fantastic all-rounders.

What’s in the box?

The 10’6” & 10’8” Rides come complete with the best backpack in the business, a repair kit and a Red Paddle Co pump, which makes inflation to 15-20psi really easy.

The combination of overall width plus the wide tail creates an unbelievably stable platform. This makes it the perfect board in our range for a windsurf version with a mast foot built into the board for those that want to have their first go at windsurfing.

The sail screws into a built in screw thread on the board and comes with a US fin box at the back, to assist with tracking.

Please note that the windsurf fitting cannot be retrofitted onto other boards as this is built into the structure of the board, much like the valve.

We have taken our super popular 10’8� ride model and made some changes to produce the very best Yoga and Pilates SUP board. Our Tec Air construction means you get a super rigid board, perfect for these disciplines.

The full yoga pad on the deck means you can find your perfect balance without fear of slipping and the tail mounted paddle retention straps mean you can secure your paddle while you workout with no fear of it floating away.

The board is stable enough yet not so wide to make it just a floating platform. It is ideal for beginners through to experts.

With the white water side of SUP growing fast, we have produced a shape that not only offers extreme durability but also extreme performance on the river. Designed with input from white water paddlers from around the world the Flow allows for easy control on down river runs.

Fitted with multiple grab handles it offers safety and control.

The Quad fin set up means you don’t get the “double bump” when hitting rocks that is so often the problem with standard 3 fin set ups. The fins are also low profile to avoid hang ups in shallow sections.

Its high sides allow it to break in and out of the river flow while its pronounced nose rocker means it rides over the bumps exceptionally well.

No two rivers are the same, so there is no optimum fin size.

Our iFins can be re-shaped to suit not only your style of riding, but also the conditions at your local river. All in all the Flow will take your River running to the next level.

What do you give to the paddler who has it all? The New 11’ Spor t that’s what.

With 120mm/4.72” thickness and RSS, this a super-rigid board.

The 30” width makes it a stable board for all paddlers.

The 11’ Sport fits perfectly between the Ride and 12’6” shapes, being faster to paddle than the Rides and quicker to inflate than the 12’6” boards. The Spor t is the perfect fast cruiser for those paddlers looking for a board that can get them around the bay or up the river with speed and glide but can still pick up a small wave.

The striking deck pad and colour ways make it a great looking board. Most people don’t even realise it is inflatable when they see it.

The Red Paddle Co Explorer is an amazing destination paddle board. It is designed to be paddled by those who want to know what is around the next bend in the river. No need to leave cars at each end of your trip, just jump on a train, bus or taxi to get home. The new carry bag is so comfor table you could even walk home.

page 30

The multiple cargo tie-down sections also allow for a large quantity of gear to be carried on the nose and tail. The Explorer is also an amazing platform for fishing with loads of space on the deck to stash the catch of the day.

The 150mm thickness makes for high buoyancy and superb stiffness.

10’6” Max Race

12’6” Race

Taking shape inspiration from our Elite boards, the Max Race has been designed for speed and close competition in the youth racing class. The shor ter length means it’s manageable both on and off the water and the 27” width makes it stable enough while still super quick in a straight line.

The Race is a fantastic board that will amaze you. The rocker line is designed to give fast glide and ride. The single nose fin helps tracking while the centre fin at the rear gives the right amount of grip without adding drag.

Fitted with our Patented RSS stiffening system there is no stiffer youth race board. The board comes fitted with a US finbox so racers can add their favourite fin.

This board allows everyone to experience the speed of longer boards without needing the space to store one.

While most manufacturers of inflatable race boards are forcing them into one design classes, the Elite boards allow you to step up and compete with all comers in the main race.

Faster than you thought possible, the Elite boards lead the way in stiffness, shape, consistency and speed.

The Elites come in 12’6” and 14’ sizes. Utilising our RSS system the boards are super stiff, which means you don’t loose efficiency through flex - the biggest problem on most other inflatable race boards.

26” page 34

The boards are 26” wide which means they are not for the first timer but in the right hands they are super fast.

The 14’ is also a great downwind board. It picks up swell really easily and has a great glide to it. You really have to ride it to believe how good this board is.

The Elite series boards open up the performance side of racing out of a backpack.

PUMPS

The Incredible Titan Pump

The Red Paddle Co HP Pump

We much prefer spending our time paddling rather than pumping so we developed the Titan Pump. The Dual Cylinder system combined with the Hi Flo handle means you are in complete control of the time and energy required to inflate your board. It puts the volume into your board faster and reduces the effor t required to reach a higher pressure. A revolution in pumping technology.

We worked with Bravo the world’s leading pump manufacturer to produce the High Pressure (HP) version of our Ezee Pump.

Almost anybody can pump one of our boards to 20 psi with the HP pump. The HP pump comes complete with a pressure gauge that is clearly marked so you can check your progress anytime.

A fantastic upgrade for any inflatable board, it allows you to pump your Red Paddle Co board to 20psi in the fastest time using less energy.

Available from early 2015 - Less Pumping, More Paddling.

LUGGAGE

We know that when it comes to using an inflatable board, paddling is only par t of the experience. This is why we’ve spent just as much time developing the absolute best luggage system for your board.

After covering over 100,000 miles with our boards we have a really good idea of what is needed from the ultimate bag. Our all new bag has the most significant developments yet seen with inflatable board bags.

It has integrated wheels that make travelling through airpor ts a pleasure. The hidden back pack system can be stowed when not in use and is super comfy when you need to put the board on your back. The front loading system makes packing and unpacking super simple. The internal strap makes sure the board stays put while in transit. This bag is the ultimate solution for travel and storage.

PADDLES

Your paddle is as impor tant as your board. We’ve focussed on producing the best range of paddles, with the best performance, for the best price.

Refined blade shapes and shaft flex give the 2015 range an upgrade in performance and style.

This is for the budget conscious paddler.

The new blade makes the paddle faster through the water.

With a smaller blade size and shor ter shaft it makes the perfect paddle for the younger or shor ter rider. The reduced blade size means its easier to paddle as less power is required.

One of our biggest sellers has just got better, with a new blade which is more stable through the water. The improved adjustable system makes adjusting the length easier than ever.

Superior strength to weight ratio gives this paddle the edge over other glass paddles. The new blade is more stable through the water. The result is our favourite paddle in the range.

Light, responsive and great looking.

Look no fur ther for affordable Carbon performance.
