17'0" Ride XL MSL Inflatable Paddle Board - Anniversary

For the ultimate group paddle experience, look no further. Share the adventure with this 8-person party board!

Go big or go home with Red Paddle Co's largest board. You'll be at one with the water and with each other with our 17'0'' XL Ride. Imagine the fun you'll have paddling out with your friends and family on this giant inflatable SUP.

They do say adventures are meant for sharing… Whether you're looking to spend quality time with your family, or relax on the water in the sunshine with friends, you won't find a better-suited board for the occasion.

Designed using our exclusive MSL fusion technology, this multi-person board is surprisingly light and easy to transport in its own, specially designed bag. At 17'0 long and 60″ wide, the Ride XL is designed to carry not one, but up to eight riders (with room left over for the family dog). Not only is paddling as a group a great bonding experience, but it's fun, sociable and great exercise too.

The XL ride is an extension of its sister Ride boards, with a specially-crafted wide deck and tail to make it perfectly well-balanced and stable – even when it's at maximum capacity. This board also has several valves so you can share the inflation, saving your breath for the waves. It has multiple grab handles so it can be carried to the water by everyone. There's also plenty of space to take additional kit with you on the main deck pad or up front using the cargo tie down points.

At Red, sustainability isn’t just marketing hype – it’s at the core of what we do. As a certified B Corp (www.bcorporation.net) we champion high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. 

Fundamentally, our boards are designed and built to last. Our quality-assured Tec Air process has an extremely low warranty rate below 0.5%. Maximising longevity minimises our impact on the planet.

Yet even durable Red kit will eventually reach end-of-life, hence our ‘design for disassembly’ approach. For example, all Titan pump components are replaceable, while using 100% recoverable virgin plastic in our fins, finboxes and RSS battens ensure they’re fully recyclable. 

Our manufacturing processes, like turning the offcuts from our EVA deckpads into keyrings, aim for zero waste too, reflecting our commitment to low-impact resource selection. 

How to store your board 

Before storing, rinse all equipment in fresh water and let it dry completely. 

To pack away, lay the deflated board deck-up and place the pump across the nose, leaving enough room to wrap the board over. Roll tightly, then secure with the strap. Use the backpack’s internal strap to secure the board inside. 

Store your board in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If keeping it rolled up, avoid excess pressure on the straps. If space allows, it’s best to store the pump separately. 

You can also leave your board inflated, ideally kept on a flat surface or upright – but do reduce the board’s pressure to below 15psi if not in use for a while.

What is MSL®? Safe. Stiff. Durable. 

Monocoque Structural Laminate or MSL® is the world’s leading drop-stitch material. Exclusive to Red Paddle Co boards, it’s made to our exact specifications. 

Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer. 

Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions. 

Laminate: the reinforced composite coating is bonded to the textile core using machine welding that applies heat and pressure to the inner PVC layer, saving over 2kg of adhesives and reducing cosmetic and safety concerns. Produced under low tension, this process creates a torsional stiffening effect when the boards are inflated, making MSL® stiffer at lower pressures.
