Red Paddle Co. Red Paddle Co Ride9’8 X 31″ Paddleboard 2022

Red Paddle Co 9’8 Ride Paddleboard 2023

Who’s it for? Perfect for lighter riders who want a versatile board for every circumstance and also for heavier riders for surf.

The 9’8’’ Ride from Red Paddle Co. The inflatable SUP for the lighter riders, this board is designed for all-round use – whether you enjoy the thrill of paddling in the surf, or the tranquillity of calm lakes.

As the smallest of the Ride family, it’s well-suited to lighter riders shorter under 70kg/155lbs and 5’6 and under. However, that doesn’t mean that heavier, taller riders can’t have fun on it too. At 9’8’’ and 4″ thick and with a pulled in tail, the 9’8 ride is also a great surf shape and can be used in shoulder to head-height waves.

The secret to this board’s versatility is its dimensions: 787mm/31” wide and 100mm/3.93” thick, and stiffening batons which make it stable yet maneuverable.

New for 2022 – ATB Transformer bag: Introducing a total redesign of the Red Paddle Co all terrain backpack that offers a bagless carry system. This skeleton system means you can access more remote waterways without the need for a bulky bag and just take the straps and your pump. When using the bag, the large all terrain wheels make handling rugged terrain a breeze and considered anthropometric design is able to be fully customised to your height so you can take maximum care of your body while under load. Large exterior pockets can fit any quick to grab essentials and a velcro interior pocket means your paddle blade is safe and secure. The interior material has a stylish Red repeater pattern and its water resistance will minimise any intrusive damp. Additional internal storage for small items and keeping your service kit on hand.

New for 2022 – The Paddle: Red Paddle Co paddles have just got a facelift, Not only are the colour of the new paddle coded to the Blue and Special edition Purple boards, but they have also had a design change, The paddles are now easier to put together with the blade and middle shaft of the paddle attached by string, making sure even the newest paddler on the water find putting their kit together .. child’s play!

Timeless design: The Red Paddle Co iconic design has been updated for 2021 with a more streamlined look and feel. The extended Red embossed deck pad now reaches right down to the tail, wraps closer to the rails, and offers superior comfort and grip. The diamond-cut rear provides extra stability for performing step back turns, or for riding in bigger waves.

Flat Bungee Cargo System: The self-closing bungee straps are now larger, creating more tension to keep all your gear on your board! All boards come with three bungee straps on the nose, setting you up perfectly for adventures to come. 

Twin ifins: All boards in the Ride range are now integrated with two super durable, flexible ifins, making the boards straighter and faster to paddle. The ifins also provide increased agility and performance in the surf and make the board easier to pack down into its bag.

New Titan II pump: Included with all of our SUP packages, Our newly refined industry-leading Titan II pump takes you from neatly-packed to fully-inflated in half the time, with half the effort. See what’s new about the Titan II pump here.

Mount: Every Red Paddle Co SUP board comes with a special fixing that is compatible with world-leading Ram Mounts products, plus Railblaza, enabling you to securely attach a range of accessories, from GPS devices and cameras to fishing rods.

RSS system: Red Paddle Co boards boast patented RSS system for maximum rigidity.

The RSS system allow for 40% more rigidity in the central area of the board limiting flex and creating higher stability.
