About Red Paddle Co

Red Paddle Co is a company that focuses on the production of high quality inflatable stand up paddle boards. They are always trying to come up with new ways to make them lighter, faster, cheaper and more manoeuvrable while maintaining the high quality. They try to give as much value for money as possible. They have their own production process called ‘Tecair’. The focus starts on the inside of the board but accentuates towards the outside of the board. The inflatable boards are specially made with the highest quality drop stitch. this high quality material has been specially developed to create a stronger and stiffer board. The boards are constructed with 2 strong PVC laminates. Basically it’s 2 boards in 1! The rail consists of 4 layers, so the rail is extra reinforced. Due to these special methods and materials, the boards can be inflated up to 29 psi. Red Paddle recommends for the lighter user to inflate it to 15 psi. And for the heavier user up to 20 psi.

Red Paddle has had a new production process since 2016. The boards are made with the new MSL (Monocoque Structural Laminate) method. This means that the boards are no longer glued manually, but with the machine. This ensures that the gluing process is much more accurate and that fewer raw materials are needed to produce the board. Due to this production process, the boards are -/+2 kg lighter than before and also stiffer when you inflate them less hard!

But a new technique has been added that was mentioned earlier. The RSS (Rocker Stiffening System). These are plastic slats that you can insert into a designated slot on the side of the board so that the board becomes up to 40% stiffer!

Since 2017 they now also have a special hole in the board where you can attach your camera, phone, GPS, fishing rod etc. thanks to the special technology and contribution of the well-known company Ram Mounts.
