The innovation in surfboards received a new momentum with the initiation of Red Paddle Company in 2008. Paddle boarding has acquired an elite status among sports lovers for its increasing versatility. As more people are drawn to this sport, inventive designs of multipurpose paddle boards are surfacing in the market. The company therefore decided to make surfing a truly enjoyable experience by working out an inflatable model of surf boards. These surf boards are highly portable and extremely stable and can be enjoyed for rigorous racing to tranquil touring. At Red Paddle SUP the turgid inflatable boards are not just available for solo sports activity but are also great for family outings on the surface of the water.
Categories of SUP boards:
There is a vast range of paddle boards at Red Paddle that caters to different requirements. Boards are available in multiple sizes so that every adventurous individual can pick and choose a suitable board. There are different types of SUP activities which one can engage with. The boards are therefore manufactured and categorized according to the varied SUP activities undertaken by individuals, a few of these categories are enlisted below:
- All Round: As the name of the category suggests, these boards can be used for a wide range of activities suited to different kinds of surfing conditions. The size of these inflatable boards ranges from the 9 feet 8 inches Ride MSL which is suitable for solitary activities to the 14 feet Ride MSL meant for family tours or group surfing.
- Touring: These boards are suitable for doing workout as well as exploration. One can use these boards for travelling long distances. The Sport MSL and Explorer MSL are available in a range of sizes under this category and also have fixtures for taking camping gears while surfing.
- Surfing: As the technique of Stand Up Paddle boarding involves propelling oneself through the waves with the aid of an oar like paddle, surfing boards are available which are designed for riding on the waves. The Ride MSL and Whip MSL which have a broad nose and a slim tail are suitable for surfing.
- Windsup: This is a new development in the field of SUP. This involves attaching a mast with the inflatable SUP board for gliding along with the wind. The increasing popularity of soaring with the wind has led to the formation of the 10 feet and 7 inches long Windsup MSL and Windsurf MSL boards which are equipped with mast foot for setting up a sail.
- Yoga: Practicing yoga on water enhances stability by strengthening the muscles. For that purpose there is the 10 feet 8 inches Activ MSL, where one can easily practice the routine stretches which will enable one to develop better flexibility.
