Technically superior
Established in 2008, at the very beginning of paddle boarding, Red produces the best inflatable stand up paddle boards in the world.
For the past 15 years, our products have totally transformed how paddleboarding on an inflatable board feels for everyone from complete beginners to seasoned explorers.
Just like our Red Paddle Co boards, pumps and paddles, our Red Original range is packed full of innovative, patent pending technology and protected designs.
Innovation is at our core and we're always on the hunt for the very best materials and components to push the boundaries. Why? To help inspire adventure, to get people outdoors, and exploring.
Paddleboards
We don’t make paddle boards like anyone else. It has taken us fifteen years to master the craft of making the very best boards on the market. Our attention to detail is what makes a Red Paddle Co board different from any other out there.
Unlike other paddle board companies out there, we never compromise on quality and innovation giving you unrivalled safety and durability. 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.
Paddles
Just as important as choosing the right paddle board is finding the perfect SUP paddle. We offer a selection of SUP paddles designed for beginners, surfers, racers, and tourers, enabling you to perform powerful strokes with ease.

72 hours
It takes us 72 hours to make each individual board – that’s ten times longer than the industry average. It all sounds simple, but like the best single malt whiskey or a finely tuned engine, the components and method have be refined over and over again until we created the ultimate blend of performance, quality and weight.
Adding MSL to our TecAir manufacturing process makes all our boards more durable and ensures they perform better.

Luggage Tensioning System (LTS)
In a hunt to find an easy, neat and un-obtrusive way to securely fix our deck bag and coolbags to our boards, our designers created LTS. A unique, but effectively simple tensioning system it makes it a breeze to attach to your deck – check it out on the Waterproof Deck Bag or Watertight Coolbag pages. Patent Pending.
YKK Zips
YKK make the best zips you can buy, and that is all we use in our Red Original range, from the concealed zipped pockets in our apparel to the Chunky 2 way zip of our Pro Change Jacket, and Board Jacket.
It is our waterproof bag range where the YKK zips really come in to their own – the Aquaseal zip is the best waterproof zip in the world. Manufactured in the UK, it won’t corrode or fail and is tested to 0.3 millibar. As they create a totally watertight seal, it means we can do-away with fiddly roll-top styles.
Dri-release fabrics
We’ve chosen to work with dri-release fabric due to it’s high performing properties which won’t wash or wear out. Dri-release is high quality technical fabric with hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres that draws moisture away from skin and dries up to 4 times faster than cotton, keep you cool and comfortable whilst you paddle, protects you from the sun, and dries in no time if you get wet.
Armour tech fabric
Tough but tactile premium high density waterproof fabric provides the optimum in durability. It’s incredibly hardwearing but looks super slick too. You’ll find it on our dry pouch, Waterproof deck bag and Coolbags. Take one of these to the beach and prepare to get lots of admiring glances.
