Upgrade Your Adventure

Now in our 15th year, we are passionate about and dedicated to getting more people out on the water by creating the world’s leading inflatable paddle boards.
We’re here to guide you through the upgrading process to find the very best paddle board for you.
Why upgrade your paddle board?
The materials and construction of a paddleboard are critical to your stability and confidence on the water. Inferior materials and hasty construction often result in boards that lack rigidity, leading to instability. To counteract this, some manufacturers increase the board's thickness (the distance between the top and bottom deck) to add volume. However, this approach is counterproductive, as it raises the paddler's center of gravity, making the board feel even less stable. The key to true stability lies in achieving the right balance of the board’s dimensions, which can only be done with high-quality materials and meticulous construction—exactly what you get with a Red inflatable paddleboard.
Why choose Red?
At Red, we’ve been crafting paddleboards for over 16 years, and our design team has perfected the ideal balance of dimensions and thickness for every board we make. This performance-focused construction ensures that our boards feel stable, grounded, and safe, making standing up not just a goal, but an achievable reality for everyone. With a Red paddleboard, you’ll feel more stable and confident, allowing you to travel further and faster. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind with our 5-year warranty, a dedicated Customer Experience team in South Devon, and a network of highly experienced retailers and SUP schools across the UK ready to support you.
Which board do you need?
Upgrade to a Ride
Struggling to stand up?
The Ride Range is the perfect place to start if you are looking to upgrade. Made using exclusive MSL technology, our Ride paddle boards offer unrivalled quality and innovation. They’re great for beginners as well as seasoned paddlers who want all round performance and absolute versatility.
The 10’6” Ride offers a smooth and stable ride to paddlers under 110kgs. The 10’8” Ride's additional volume offers exceptional stability, making it a great upgrade choice for larger paddlers or those planning to have a passenger. The 9'8" Ride is best suited for lighter riders under 75kg, as it's lighter, thinner, fast to inflate and super agile.
Upgrade to a Sport
If you’ve been paddling for a little while, looking to up your game and want something a bit nippier, the Sport range of Red boards is a great first upgrade route. The sleek shape, speed tail and the drawn-out nose gives maximum glide across the water, meaning you can paddle faster and further for longer. Red’s unique RSS battens also offer unrivalled stiffness. There are three Sport boards in the range and two in the Sport+ range.
Upgrade to a Voyager
THE ultimate touring boards - designed for epic adventures. Load them up and the world’s your oyster! Designed to glide with ease, be super durable and offer unrivalled stiffness and stability, the Voyager range of board is the go-to for avid adventurers around the globe. Packed with innovation unique to the Voyager range including the V-Hull, allowing you to cut through the water and cruise like a pro, eating up the miles with ease. These boards are designed to be loaded up with gear on the front and rear of the board setting you up for multi day adventures.
Upgrade to a Compact
If you’re looking for a board that can be transported easily as well as being stored where space is an issue, the Compact range is worth checking out. With 4 boards in the collection, the Compact board was 10 years in the making and is exclusive to Red. Packing down to half the size of a standard inflatable SUP, the Compact is a step forward in what an inflatable board can offer. Compact boards offer exceptional transportability without compromising on performance.
