The world’s most portable paddle board
It's taken Red Paddle Co the better part of a decade to develop their range of compact paddle boards, but the results are seriously impressive. These inflatables pack down to literally half the size of comparable boards, making them incredibly lightweight and portable for the carry-in hiker or biker. They've done this by revolutionising the internal foam structure – and these innovations are patent-protected, so you won't find anyone else offering such an extraordinary combination of packability and performance. And of course, the boards also boast the unrivalled build quality that's made Red Equipment the benchmark for paddle boards for the last 15 years. The 9'6" is the smallest and most portable board in the compact range – a dependable all-rounder that combines a smooth and stable ride with a mind-bogglingly small pack size. It's the most transportable SUP on the planet, so if you can hike to a stretch of water, you can paddle it

Red Paddle Co boards come with a five-year warranty as standard – and if you think that sounds generous, it's because virtually no-one needs to use it. Their paddleboards are so well built that they've literally driven a 22-tonne digger over one without breaking it, and warranty rates stand at a staggeringly low 0.5%.
The same goes for the rest of their gear too – from beautifully made waterproof backpacks with super-strong welding, to hybrid changing robe/parkas that'll take you from the beach to the high arctic and everywhere in-between. This stuff isn't cobbled together overseas by the lowest bidder – it's designed and purpose-built in Red's own Devon facility, drawing on more than 15 years of experience and an uncompromising attitude to quality.
We've had a good old nose around their Totnes HQ, and what we really love about Red is the way their kit is engineered to be portable and versatile for multi-activity adventures. Sure, you can just chuck their compact inflatable boards in the back of the car and have a splash about at the beach, but they’re so packable that you can also stick them in a backpack and pony them up to remote mountain lakes, or spend a day paddling downriver and get the train home. Your imagination really is the limit.
This is seriously well-engineered gear that's built to perform and to last, and we're right on board with that.
