TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
DEMO STORES & EVENTS

One of the best ways to test the unrivalled quality and design of a Red Paddle Co board is to take it to the water and give it a spin. We have a range of retailers across the UK who offer on-water demos of the full Red Paddle Co range so you can try the boards before you buy.

Our experts will guide you on the water to demonstrate the premium performance of a Red Paddle Co board and help you to select, try and purchase the right equipment for your paddling needs.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
