Windsurfing can be an intimidating sport to get into, which is a shame, because the rewards are so great. But here’s a brilliant solution – the 10’8” Ride Windsup.

This is a board with all the practical benefits of an inflatable SUP that’s also designed specifically with beginner windsurfers in mind. The 10’8” is longer and wider in the midpoint than the 10’6” Ride Windsup, which gives it more stability and delivers a board that’s ideal for the first-time rider.

Equally, its increased dimensions make it a better fit for the larger rider. It has a removable rear fin (included), which means you can still pack it down for easy transport. It also has a central US fin box so you can add a US Box style fin to act as a dagger fin/board (this fin not included), giving it impressive tracking when in windsurfer mode. And of course, if you want to SUP, the board works just fine without the sail (not included), too.

MSL fusion composite and airtight coating New for 2016, MSL involves fusing a second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, removing hand gluing errors. The high-tech industrial process also saves almost 2kg in weight and makes the boards stiffer at lower pressures.

The Future is Fusion

The most innovative inflatable SUPs in the world – Red Paddle Co’s high-performance inflatable SUPs are full of innovation – our mantra is to design and manufacture high-quality boards with zero compromise. This year, we’re introducing MSL fusion technology, which stands for Monocoque Structural Laminate. This involves an industrial process that fuses the second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at raw material stage. MSL reduces hand-gluing errors and the amount of glue we use, which saves 2kg in weight. It also delivers greater stiffness at lower pressures – we recommend inflating our boards to 18-20psi for ultimate performance. Add MSL to our TecAir manufacturing process that makes our boards stiffer, more durable, and better-performing, and our patented RSS stiffening system (see page right), and you have inflatable boards that deliver the world’s most authentic stand-up paddleboard experience.

LESS PUMPING, MORE PADDLING.
The Dual Cylinder system of the Titan pump combined with the Hi Flo handle means you are in complete control of the time and energy required to inflate your board. It puts the volume into your board faster and reduces the effort required to reach a higher pressure. A revolution in pumping technology!

THE BEST DESIGN. FOR THE BEST PERFORMANCE.
Tec Air is not a product, it’s a process. We looked at how we built boards, and by focusing in on the key areas of the production process, we have been able to refine each process to make the very best boards. All Red Paddle Co boards are built using our Tec Air specification to ensure the best possible build quality. Our strength comes from the inside.

THICKNESS. REDEFINED.
The 10’8″ Ride WindSUP is 120mm thick. This thickness is exclusive to Red Paddle Co and is the perfect combination of stiffness and control for all round shapes. Combined with our inflatable specific nose and tail designs we have been able to produce the stiffest boards for this size. 120mm allows the rider to keep a low centre of gravity while achieving exceptional stiffness

IN-FIN-ITELY BETTER.
We have tested every system currently available and even developed fin systems of our own to find the best solution. For our windSUP boards we have fitted a US fin box system with removable rear fin for improved lateral resistance.

GET CARRIED AWAY. EFFORTLESSLY.
After covering over 100,000 miles with our boards we had a really good idea of what was needed from the ultimate bag. Our all new bag has the most significant developments yet seen with inflatable board bags. It has integrated wheels that make travelling through airports a pleasure. The hidden back pack system can be stowed when not in use and is super comfy when you need to put the board on your back. The front loading system makes packing and unpacking super simple. The internal straps make sure the board stays put while in transit. This bag truly is the ultimate solution for travel and storage.
