Red Paddle SUP Boards

NUMBER 1 AMONG INFLATABLE SUPS

Red Paddle SUP boards are considered the benchmark of quality in the world of inflatable SUPs. The brand Red Paddle Co doesn’t follow trends – it creates them through in-house development, patented technologies, and uncompromising production standards.

Every Red Paddle SUP board is designed with one clear goal: to deliver a reliable, stable, and premium experience on the water – season after season. That’s why all boards are backed by a 5-year warranty.

In short: Red Paddle SUPs are world-leading inflatable boards thanks to their proprietary MSL construction, exceptional stiffness, advanced innovations (RSS, FFC, V-hull), and 5-year warranty. Each model is clearly designed for a specific paddling style – with no compromises in quality.

Why Are Red Paddle SUPs Different?

With Red Paddle SUPs, the differences are structural – not cosmetic. From your very first paddle stroke, you feel the difference in stiffness, stability, and on-water performance, which comes remarkably close to hard boards – while maintaining all the advantages of an inflatable SUP.

Key reasons why Red Paddle stands out:

• MSL technology (Monocoque Structural Laminate) delivers exceptional stiffness at lower weight without excess glue layers
• Higher operating pressures mean less flex and better power transfer
• RSS battens (on selected models) increase deck stiffness by up to 40%
• 12 cm thickness as a mark of excellence – lower center of gravity, reduced side-wind impact, better control
• Dimensions designed for different body weights and paddling styles – not generic compromises
• TEC AIR process – each board is produced in-house over up to 72 hours and undergoes strict quality testing
• Outstanding durability tested under extreme loads
• 5-year warranty – rare in the inflatable SUP industry and a clear sign of confidence

Red Paddle SUPs are not the cheapest – but they are among the most durable and offer one of the best user experiences available.

They are also among the most tested boards in our range – used in courses, long-distance tours, and SUP trips where differences in stiffness and behavior show immediately.

Innovation Is at the Core of Red Paddle Co’s DNA

At Red Paddle Co, innovation is not an add-on – it’s the foundation. The difference between “good” and “best” SUP often becomes obvious only on the water – in wind, waves, long distances, or under heavy load. That’s where Red Paddle shows its strength.

Key technologies include:

• RSS battens – removable side reinforcements increasing stiffness up to 40%
• FFC system – carbon rod in the nose maintaining waterline on faster models
• V-shaped hull (Voyager models) – better water slicing and directional stability at sea
• Speed tail – optimized tail for improved water release
• Adjustable cargo bungee system
• Titan Pump 2 – one of the fastest and most efficient SUP pumps available
• Premium backpack with “sherpa” carry system

These are not marketing features – they directly influence speed, control, and reduced fatigue.

MSL, MSL® 1000 and MSL® 800 – A Difference You Can Feel

 

MSL® – The Foundation of Red Paddle Quality

MSL (Monocoque Structural Laminate) is an exclusive Red Paddle construction where a high-density drop-stitch core is heat-fused to PVC layers without glue.

Result:

• Greater stiffness at lower weight
• Fewer materials, fewer potential defects
• Easier packing and longer lifespan

MSL® 1000 – Maximum Stiffness and Durability

MSL® 1000 uses denser weaving and more structural mass. Designed for paddlers seeking:

• Maximum stability
• Top-level stiffness under heavy loads
• Long-term durability

This technology is found in classic Red Paddle models where rigidity is essential.

 

NEW: MSL® 800 – The Future of Inflatable SUPs

MSL® 800 is the newest innovation from Red Paddle Co and currently unmatched by other brands. It is lighter, thinner, and further optimized for paddlers who want:

• Up to 2 kg lighter board (on 14′ models)
• Faster acceleration
• Improved maneuverability
• Smaller packed volume

MSL® 800 is used across all Future Series boards. It maintains the stiffness and durability expected from Red Paddle while delivering a more performance-oriented feel. This is not a compromise – it’s evolution.

Future Series – Looking Ahead

Future Series boards use the new MSL® 800 construction and represent the most advanced generation of inflatable SUPs to date.

Combined with innovations like the Spinbox fin system, this series redefines what an inflatable SUP can achieve in terms of weight, responsiveness, and speed.

Red Paddle SUPs for Different Paddling Styles

All Red Paddle boards share the highest production standards – but each model has a clearly defined role. Differences are intentional and based on purpose, dimensions, hull shape, and construction.

Whether you’re looking for a stable all-round board, a faster sport touring SUP, or a Voyager for long-distance open water adventures, Red Paddle offers clearly differentiated models – without overlap and without average solutions.

Red Paddle Ride – The Most Versatile SUP

Ride is the most popular Red Paddle model. Stable, predictable, and extremely user-friendly – perfect for beginners, families, and relaxed paddling.

Ride models maintain width along most of their length for security and stability, while premium construction still delivers excellent glide.

• Ride 9’8 → optimal up to approx. 85 kg
• Ride 10’6 → optimal up to approx. 100 kg
• Ride 10’8 → optimal up to approx. 120 kg

Ride is the ideal “one board for everyone” solution.

Red Paddle Sport – Performance Touring

Sport is the logical step up from an all-round SUP. A touring board for medium distances – faster, more efficient, and better tracking, yet still stable enough for comfortable use.

With narrower outlines and a longer waterline, Sport delivers more speed with less effort – ideal for active paddlers seeking more dynamics without moving to an extreme touring shape.

Red Paddle Voyager – Ultimate Touring SUP

Voyager is the most advanced touring SUP in the Red Paddle range, built for longer distances, exploration, and open water. It offers exceptional tracking, load stability, and calm behavior at sea.

The characteristic V-shaped hull improves wave cutting and directional stability – especially noticeable in wind and during long tours.

• Voyager 12’6 → more stable, also great for paddling with a dog
• Voyager 14’ → faster choice for experienced paddlers and longer distances

Voyager is for paddlers who treat SUP as exploration – not just short recreational sessions near shore.

How to Choose the Right Red Paddle SUP?

The question isn’t quality – that’s always premium. The real question is how and where you’ll paddle:

• Relaxed paddling & family use → Ride
• Active touring & more speed → Sport
• Long tours & open water → Voyager

That’s why Red Paddle SUPs are considered among the most thoughtfully designed inflatable SUPs in the world – each model has a clear purpose and delivers top performance in its category.

A Red Paddle SUP Is Not for Everyone

But it is the right choice for those who want the best inflatable SUP – without compromise and built for the long term.
