WELCOME

INTERNAL USE ONLY

Thank you for attending the 2014 distributor meeting.

We’ve been making inflatable boards now since 2008 and I can honestly say that we’ve learnt more in the last 18 months that the previous 4 years. Competition from other brands and the continued rapid growth of sales has meant we have changed the way we deal with many things within the brand. Every change has been done to maximise efficiencies and minimise problems.

No other brand spends as much time as we do working on all aspects of production and product development.

We could not have got this far without the commitment, patience and outright passion of our distribution network. We appreciate each one of you and all that you have done to grow sales in your own markets as well as the feedback you have given to help us shape the product offering.

The 2015 range is without doubt the best yet. We’ve played close attention to all details to ensure we have the best, most thought out range of inflatable SUP boards available.

We are confident that 2015 will see another strong year of growth and we can’t wait to share all the details with you.

TECHNICAL INFO

INTERNAL USE ONLY

Tec Air

Tec Air is not a product it’s a process. 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.

The key areas of construction are inside the board. Our attention to detail on the inside ensures the best experience on the outside.

Thickness

The thickness of any board is as important as all other dimensions (Length and width). The thickness of an inflatable board is even more important as it not only has an effect on flotation but also stiffness - everybody needs and wants the stiffest board possible. Thicker boards are stiffer but building them too thick reduces responsiveness. We therefore use three thicknesses: 100mm/3.93”, 120mm/4.72” and 150mm/5.90”.

No area of the design process is ignored

INTERNAL USE ONLY

This allows us to deliver the authentic SUP experience that we feel so strongly about. We also have our patented RSS stiffening system that allows us to increase stiffness where performance would normally be lost.

100mm/3.93”This thickness is perfect for boards with a surfing orientation. It gives you better control and feel on moving water and with the RSS system you get a board that is stiffer than any other board of this kind available today.

120mm/4.72”This thickness gives a board that has the perfect volume and feel for all round use, whether it be sliding along on a wave or gliding up the creek or across the bay. The world’s biggest selling inflatable SUP board, the Red Paddle Co 10’6”, is built in 120mm/4.72” thickness.

150mm/5.90”This thickness gives you a board that floats high out of the water and therefore is ideal for creating maximum glide on flat water or maximum speed on the race course. Add the RSS system to these boards and you have the highest performing inflatable SUP board available.

FINS

INTERNAL USE ONLY

Fins

Nothing comes close to our tried and tested iFin system. Zero warranty requests since we star ted using the system mean that we remain confident that it is the best option. No tools, replacements or spares are needed for the iFin system. They deliver great performance and are the most durable fin available.

The Explorer and Race designs use a US Box system to allow for rider tuning. This is a global fin standard so fins can easily be replaced if lost.

RSS

INTERNAL USE ONLY

Rocker Stiffening System (RSS)

The RSS system is unique to Red Paddle Co. By inserting stiffening battens into pockets on the side of the board we have been able to increase the stiffness of our boards by up to 40%.

We use the RSS system on all 100mm/3.93” boards (excluding 9’4” ) to bring them up to the same stiffness as our 120mm/4.72” boards but still maintaining the great manoeuvre characteristics of a 100mm/3.93” board. To engineer the best system, the pockets are individually laminated into position.

INTERNAL USE ONLY

The 10’6” Ride is, hands down, the biggest selling inflatable board in the world. It’s all round appeal means it is the perfect board for almost all paddlers.

As the sport has progressed we have seen the need for a Ride style board for differing weight paddlers. This is why we developed the Allwater, Surfer and Mega shapes.

In order to better communicate the features and target customer of these boards we have brought them into the Ride family and produced a solid 3 board line up.

What’s your Ride? – Choose the board that best fits your desired usuage and body weight.

The 9’8” Ride

This takes the best features of the 9’6” Allwater and 10’ Surfer and delivers a great surfing shape and a perfect all round board for the sub 70kgs rider. The 9’8” is 100mm thick for increased performance and manouverability but is fitted with RSS to ensure rigidity is not compromised.

The 10’6” Ride

The Ride everyone loves. Same great performance as before but with upgraded graphics. A fantastic board for all round paddling

The 10’8” Ride

This was the Mega. Same great board. Perfect for bigger riders or for the family guys who want to carry passengers.

9’8”/10’6”/ 10’8” RIDE

INTERNAL USE ONLY

The 10’6” and 10’8” Ride boards are 120mm thick. This increases stiffness while not affecting the ride and performance of this iconic board. The 120mm thickness means that the rider can obtain greater stiffness at lower pressure. The 120mm board is more than 40% stiffer than a standard 100mm board at the same pressure.

The combination of overall width plus the wide tail creates an unbelievably stable platform. The mega is also available with a mast foot option for those that want to have their first goes at windsurfing. The sail screws into a built in screw thread on the board and the windsurfing mega also comes with a US fin box to assist with tracking.

10’8” RIDE WINDSURF

The combination of overall width plus the wide tail creates an unbelievably stable platform. This makes it the perfect board in our range for a windsurf version with a mast foot built into the board for those that want to have their first goes at windsurfing.

The sail screws into a built in screw thread on the board and comes with a US fin box to assist with tracking.

Please note that the windsurf fitting cannot be retrofitted onto other boards as this is built into the structure of the board much like the valve.

9’6” FLOW

With the White Water side of the SUP growing fast we have produced a shape that not only offers extreme durability but also extreme performance on the river. Designed with input from White water paddlers from around the world the Flow allows for easy control on down river runs.

It’s high sides allow it to break in and out of the river flow while it’s pronounced nose rocker means it rides over the bumps exceptionally well.

Fitted with multiple grab handles it offers safety and control.

It’s indestructible Quad fin set up means you don’t get the “double bump” when hitting rocks that is so often the problem with standard 3 fin set ups. The fins are also low profile to avoid hang ups in shallow sections.

All in all the Flow will take your River running to the next level.

Go with the Flow!

Why should the adults have all the fun? Now the younger generation have a board to call their own. Designed to deliver top quality performance for young riders up to 132lbs/60kgs. It is equally at home paddling up the river or catching the swell off the sandbar.

The dual colour deck pad allows for easy explanation of foot placements and keeps the board looking like Mum or Dads’ board.

The Nine Four also features its own unique ‘Red Snapper’ deck pad artwork, specially designed for this board.

11’0” SPORT

What do you give to the paddler who has it all? The New 11’ Sport that’s what.

The 11’ Sport fits perfectly between the Ride and 12’6” Shapes. Faster to paddle than the Rides and quicker to inflate than the 12’6” boards the Sport is the perfect fast cruiser for those paddlers looking for a board that can get them around the bay or up the river with speed and glide but can still pick up a small wave.

120mm/4.72” thick and with RSS make this a super rigid board. The 30” Max width makes it a stable board for all paddlers.

The striking deck pad and colour ways make it a great looking board. Most people don’t even realise it is inflatable when they see it.

Destined to be a classic of the Red Paddle Co range.

The name says it all. Stable yet manoeuvrable the Surfstar is the only choice for those looking for the ultimate travel sup surf board.

With the wide point forward the board performs well in smaller surf and the narrow tail holds the board into steeper sections. The board is amazingly stiff due to the RSS system, which gives this board unrivalled stiffness.

The Red Paddle Co Explorer is an amazing destination paddle board. Designed to be paddled by those who want to know what is around the next bend in the river. No need to leave cars at each end of your trip, just jump on a train, bus or taxi to get home. The new carry bag is so comfortable you could even walk home.

Multiple cargo tie-down sections allow for a large quantity of gear to be carried on the nose and tail. The Explorer is also an amazing platform for fishing with loads of space on the deck to stash the catch of the day.

The 150mm thickness makes for high buoyancy and superb stiffness.

10’6” Max Race Taking shape inspiration from our Elite boards, the Max Race has been designed for speed and close competition in the youth racing class. The shorter length means it’s manageable both on and off the water and the 27” width makes it stable enough while still super quick in a straight line.

Fitted with our Patented RSS stiffening system there is no stiffer Youth race board. The board comes fitted with a US finbox so racers can add their favourite fin.

12’6” Race

The Race is a fantastic board that will amaze you. The rocker line is designed to give fast glide and ride. The single nose fin helps tracking while the centre fin at the rear gives the right amount of grip without adding drag.

This board allows everyone to experience the speed of longer boards without needing the space to store one.

The Race comes fitted with our RSS system adding even more stiffness to this already stiff shape.

While most manufacturers of inflatable race board classes are forcing them into one design classes the Elite boards allow you to step up and compete with all comers in the main race.

Faster than you thought possible, the Elite boards lead the way in stiffness, shape, consistency and speed.

The Elites come in 12’6” and 14’ sizes. Utilising our RSS system the boards are super stiff, which means you don’t loose efficiency through flex - the biggest problem on most inflatable race boards.

The boards are 26” wide which means they are not for the first timer but in the right hands they are super fast.

The 14’ is also a great downwind board. It picks up swell really easily and has a great glide to it. You really have to ride it to believe how good this board is.

While the Elite series boards are not for the beginner or cruising paddler they really do open up the performance side of racing out of a backpack.

PUMPS

INTERNAL USE ONLY

The Red Paddle Co Ezee Pump .

This is the pump ideally suited to putting in the high volume of air needed in our larger boards. You are able to use less pump strokes to pump up your board. It comes complete with a pressure gauge so you can check your progress anytime. The Ezee pump comes with all boards from 10’8” - 14’. You can get these boards inflated in almost half the time it would take with the HP version. For the ultimate experience you may like to also purchase a HP pump to make reaching the high pressure easier. The 2 pumps use the same connectors so the hose and gauge are interchangeable.

The Red Paddle Co HP Ezee Pump .

We worked with Bravo the world’s leading pump manufacturer to produce the High Pressure (HP) version of our Ezee Pump. Almost anybody can pump one of our boards to 20 psi with the HP pump. The HP pump comes complete with a pressure gauge that is clearly marked so you can check your progress anytime. The HP pump comes with boards from 9’2” -10’6”

We know that when it comes to using an inflatable board, paddling is only part of the experience. This is why we’ve spent just as much time developing the absolute best luggage system for your board.

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.

LUGGAGE

To make things even better we have introduced the Luggage System 2.1. Available separately this back pack attaches to the front of the main bag and can easily be detached for use by itself. It has a laptop sleeve, main compartment and front organiser pockets. A great day pack for work, or school or just a day at the beach.

INTERNAL USE ONLY

Your paddle is as important as your board. We’ve focussed on producing the best value for money range of paddles with the best performance. Refined blade shapes and shaft flex give the 2015 range a nice upgrade in performance and style while not pushing the price out of the reach of our target market.
