Essential Kit For Paddle Boarding In Spring

Written by Lydia Burdett /

Spring is the perfect time to hit the water - the air is getting warmer, the days are longer, and everything feels fresher. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just getting started, having the right paddle boarding equipment makes every session safer, more comfortable, and a lot more fun. Here’s a breakdown of the must-have gear for your spring paddle boarding adventures, from boards and protection to accessories that keep you comfortable on and off the water.

The Future Series Board Collection

The foundation of any great paddle boarding experience is the board itself. The Red Equipment Future Series Paddle Board range offers a selection of inflatable SUP boards designed for all different styles of paddling. From compact travel-friendly boards to stable touring shapes, there’s something for every paddler.

The Future Series boards are built with light, stiff MSL®800 materials, giving you excellent performance without compromising durability, which is particularly ideal for spring when water conditions can vary. If you plan to cover long distances or want extra glide and efficiency, go for a touring-style board. On the other hand, if you’re dipping your toes into SUP for the first time, an all-round compact shape is a great entry choice. Pick a board that suits your style and get out on the water!

ATB Board Bag

Once you’ve picked your board, you’ll need something to carry it in, which is where Red Paddle Co’s ATB Board Bag comes in. This spacious bag is perfect for storing and transporting your board, pump, leash, paddle, and all your accessories. No juggling gear on your way to the water. A good board bag helps protect your SUP from scratches, UV exposure, and the scrapes and bumps that happen during travel or storage.

Waterproof Changing Robe

If you’re wondering what to wear paddle boarding in Spring, a waterproof changing robe is what you need. Spring water can still be chilly, and changing in public can be less comfortable in cooler weather. The Red Equipment Alter EVO Pro Change Robes are designed to be worn straight into your session and make getting changed before and after paddle boarding quick and comfortable. These robes are practical, warm, and weather-ready - great for those early morning sessions or chillier conditions.

Recycled Polyester Beanie

Early spring paddling sometimes means crisp mornings. Throw on the Eddy Recycled Polyester Beanie once you’re off the water to stay warm and stylish. Made from recycled materials, it’s a practical choice with style and sustainability in mind, perfect for cooler spring days.

Insulated Drinkware

Staying hydrated when you’re paddle boarding is critical, even when it’s not hot. The Red Equipment Drinkware Collection includes insulated bottles and travel cups that are perfect for keeping water cold or tea warm while you’re out on the water or chilling lakeside after a paddle. Bring a bottle every session. Hydration boosts performance and keeps you feeling great from start to finish.
