THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE OF INFLATABLES

RED PADDLE 10'8" RIDE REVIEW

hile we are lucky to have lots of access to water in the bay, hard boards can be tricky to transport if you don't have roof racks and can be impossible to store if you live in an apartment or condo. That's why inflatables are great options for some paddlers, they pack down nice and small in an easy to carry bag. The Red Paddle 10'8" Ride is hands down our favorite inflatable for Bay Area Paddling.

Why Red Paddle?

Unmatched Build Quality: MSL is recognized as the industry’s leading construction process and is exclusive to Red Paddle Co. They are the only brand that designs and builds their own boards with their private facility.

Versatile and fun shape: This is a very fun board to paddle but also very forgiving for a beginner. The length combined with its light weight gives it great glide per stroke that matches some "Touring" boards. Plus the 34" width and 4.7" thickness give the board plenty of float for yoga poses or for someone who needs a little more stability. On top of that with the unique Twin fin set up gives you great tracking and more maneuverability compared to standard single fin designs.

Attention to detail: All Red Paddle boards come with high quality tubular carrying handles for extra comfort, unique self-closing flat bungees for storage, and Red Paddles own Titan II Pump which was designed by Red paddle to cut the amount of time and effort it takes to inflate your board by half (Verified by our interns).

"Our award-winning Ride boards are bestsellers, offering fantastic versatility and boasting unrivalled quality, innovation and design. Designed for use across a wide range of conditions, by all kinds of riders. The shorter models are better suited to surf conditions, while the longer wider models are aimed at the bigger paddler or at families who will be paddling together on one board."

-John Hibbard CEO Red Paddle
