Our Technology
THE BEST DESIGN. FOR THE BEST PERFORMANCE

We don’t make paddle boards like anyone else. It has taken us ten years to master the craft of making the very best boards on the market. Our attention to detail is what makes a Red Paddle Co board different from any other out there. We’ve taken standard inflatable technology and redesigned almost every aspect of it to deliver a truly outstanding board.

NEVER COMPROMISE

Unlike other paddle board companies out there, we never compromise on quality and innovation giving you unrivalled safety and durability. By focussing in on the key areas of the production process we have been able to identify ways we can improve the end result. Whether it be detailing exactly where and how the layers are bonded or how the rocker curve is applied to the board, no area of the design process is ignored.

A superb cosmetic finish

Our attention to detail on the inside ensures the best experience on the outside. Next we coat the thread structure in a layer of adhesive that has been specially formulated to create both a seal and a bonding layer. We then machine laminate a layer of high-density structural PVC to this adhesive layer under controlled conditions – completely removing the human factor involved in traditional double layer application. – All Red Paddle Co boards have an industry-leading cosmetic finish. No wrinkles or blemishes. The boards look cleaner and smoother and even feel better to the touch.

MSL: THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAIL

MSL is recognised as the industry’s leading construction process and is exclusive to Red Paddle Co. Red Paddle Co boards are built using specially produced, high density drop stitch (the material inside an inflatable board) that makes for a stronger and stiffer core. On the outside of a Red Paddle Co board you will see thousands of dimples spread from nose to tail and rail to rail. Each dimple represents an internal thread. We do not use Linear drop-stitch which is a mass produced, cheap material that cannot hold high pressure.

THE FINISHING TOUCHES

We have tested every fin system currently available and even developed fin systems of our own to find the best solution.

Most boards in the Red Paddle Co range come with built-in fins – the high-performance iFin system. With moulded fins you don’t need any tools, replacements or spares. They are specially designed to be ultra-durable and easy to pack away for transport.

72 Hours

It takes us 72 hours to make each individual board – that’s ten times longer than the industry average. It all sounds simple, but like the best single malt whiskey or a finely tuned engine, the components and method have be refined over and over again until we created the ultimate blend of performance, quality and weight.

Adding MSL to our TecAir manufacturing process makes all our boards more durable and ensures they perform better.
