What board is right for me?

Not sure how much pressure to put in? Check out our handy guide.

We recommend inflating your boards between 15-25psi. For heavier riders we recommend aiming for 22-25psi and for lighter riders, we suggest 15-22psi. If you&apos;re unsure, aim for 18psi. Following these guidelines should give your board unrivalled stiffness and durability. This has been our number one mission for the last decade!

How much pressure should I put into my board?

MSL Fusion Technology is recognised as the industry&#x2019;s leading construction process, it is exclusive to Red Paddle Co and the material we use on all of our boards. MSL involves fusing a second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, rather than hand gluing it. This completely removes hand gluing errors and cosmetic blemishes. The high-tech industrial process also saves almost 2kg in weight and makes the boards stiffer at lower pressures.

What is MSL Technology?

The answer is very, but read on to find out why…

Red Paddle Co boards are built to withstand even the wildest adventures. Our premium-quality boards won&#x2019;t let you down, giving you the freedom to explore any stretch of water. We put our most popular board, the 10&#x2019;6&#x2033; Ride through 10 intense (but fun!) tests to push it&#x2019;s durability to the limit. This culminated in driving over the board with a&#xA0;22.5 tonne digger&#xA0;to prove how tough our boards are so you don&#x2019;t have to! Treat it well and it will be a trusty steed.

How durable is a Red Paddle Co board?

When inflated correctly and used for general SUP you will hardly notice any difference. For high performance surfing you will find you will have to adapt your style as the board rides differently to a &#x2018;hard&#x2019; board but still rides very well. The biggest benefit is that you can deflate, roll up and stash your Red inflatable board in the back of the car with ease, take it on a plane, hike up a mountain&#x2026;.so transporting it further afield is much, much easier than a 10 ft+ hardboard!

How do Red boards compare to hard boards?

Want to leave your board inflated in between paddle sessions? No problem.

Over time you will experience some loss of pressure especially with temperature changes, we recommend topping up before you hit the water! The board should be stored out of direct sunlight and if you are not going to use it for a while you should reduce the pressure to below 15 psi.

How long can I leave a board inflated for?

We offer the possibility to extend the standard 1 year warranty to a &#xA0;5 year warranty for each board bought from the 2022, 2021 and 2020 ranges.
