ALL ROUND PADDLE BOARDS - THE RIDE RANGE

Red Paddle Co RIDE inflatable SUP boards are known for their versatility and ease of use. They are perfect for both beginners and more experienced paddlers. The boards come in four sizes depending on the paddler's build: the 10’2” model is recommended for smaller paddlers; the 10’6” is the most versatile – suitable for up to 100 kg and the most common choice for those running SUP tours, rentals or lessons; and the 10’8” is designed for bigger paddlers or those who plan to paddle with extra weight – pets or children – and are therefore looking for more stability.

RIDE models stand out both on the market and among other RED models thanks to their integrated fin system – iFIN. The small, flexible plastic fins are very convenient and durable. Because they are integrated, they stay in place and don't break even if they catch on an obstacle. Their small size lets you paddle even the shallowest rivers, and that's exactly what makes this board range so versatile. The fins are positioned on the bottom of the board to give it more manoeuvrability than a single-fin system. RIDE all-round boards also stand out for their thickness – or, more accurately, their "thinness": at only 4.75” (120 mm) thick, they not only inflate faster but also feel more stable on the water, because the paddler's centre of gravity is closer to the water. What's more, board thickness matters a lot when paddling into the wind – the thinner the board, the easier it is to move forward, as there is less wind resistance.

10’2” RIDE all-round SUP board

Maximum weight – 90 kg. This model is new in the 2024 collection. It is designed for lighter paddlers and beginner surfers. The smaller model is 29” wide, which makes it easier for smaller paddlers to handle: to get moving and to make turns. Thanks to its manoeuvrability, it's great not only for paddling on lakes and rivers but also for catching waves at sea, where easy and efficient control is especially important.

10’6” RIDE all-round SUP board

Maximum weight – 100 kg. This is the most popular model of all time and has almost become a synonym for an all-round SUP board. The perfect combination of stability, manoeuvrability and versatility, chosen by beginners and advanced paddlers alike. The best choice for schools and rental companies visited by paddlers of all levels of experience and ability. It's also the ideal option for anyone who wants to paddle a lot and everywhere.

This model is perfect for those who want a stable but not too large SUP board – one that's easy to control, to paddle in more challenging conditions or to turn on winding rivers.

However, if you weigh up to 100 kg but are taller, or want to paddle with small children or pets, you'll feel more comfortable on the slightly bigger 10’8” RIDE model, regardless of the weight specs.

10’8” RIDE all-round SUP board

Maximum weight – 120 kg. If you're looking for exceptional stability, a high load capacity and a comfortable feel on the water, this is the model for you. Thanks to its size, the 10’8” offers exceptional stability even for heavier paddlers or when paddling with extra cargo. But unlike most other 10’8” models on the market, the Red Paddle Co RIDE is 4.7” (120mm) thick thanks to the patented MSL technology, yet remains just as stiff and free of flex in the middle as the smaller boards.

This means you'll feel even more stable with your centre of gravity closer to the water, and despite the bigger board size, paddling into the wind won't be as hard as on 6” thick boards.

9’8” RIDE all-round SUP board – surf board

In older collections you may come across the 9’8” RIDE model, which was replaced by the 10’2” in 2024. It is designed for lighter paddlers, up to 95 kg. Thanks to its narrow tail, it's very popular at sea for catching waves. The narrower tail lets the board turn quickly, so it's not only fun on winding rivers but also for surfing small waves.
