2022 Red Paddle Co Activ 10' 8" MSL Inflatable SUP Paddle Board

Based on the Red Paddle 10-8 Ride, the Red Paddle Co Activ 10-8 is one of the most stable inflatable SUP boards ever produced, eliminating stability problems during fitness workouts. A reduced width of 34 inches and the wide tail create an unbelievably stable platform perfect for stretching exercises - yet still feels lively and responsive as a standup paddle board. While some inflatable boards flex uncontrollably in the water, Red Paddle's 18-20 PSI super-stiff, double layer construction holds firm and allows you to travel with confidence.

At 150mm, the material thickness has the perfect combination of stiffness and control for all round shapes - producing the stiffest boards for this size. The increased thickness is more rigid than a 100mm board at the same pressure, meaning a rider can obtain greater stiffness at lower pressure without affecting the ride and performance - or stiffer performance at higher pressure - while still maintaining a low center of gravity.

The Activ Ten Eight fitness paddle board has been specially designed for on-board comfort. The full yoga pad on the deck means you can find your perfect balance without fear of slipping and the tail mounted paddle retention straps mean you can secure your paddle while you workout with no fear of it floating away. Families will also discover the Red Paddle Activ 10'8" is perfect for paddling two-up with youngsters or even the dog on-board!

All Red Paddle Co models are constructed using Monocoque Structural Laminate (MSL) fusion technology. This innovative new process involves fusing a second layer of polymer to the drop-stitch material in the raw material stage. The end result is a higher-quality, high-pressure material utilizing less glue; this reduces the weight of each board up to 20% while increasing the tension and making the boards slightly more rigid.

Integrated threads on the nose allow the attachment of optional RAM or Railblaza mounts, allowing the paddler to add numerous accessories such as camera attachments, GPS, phone and fishing rod holders.

For 2022, Red Paddle has included their ATB Transformer Bag.

Good for cruising, fitness workouts, using as a tender, small wave surfing, fishing, exploring - a great all around board!

Carried over from 2021:

 

• A new Twin ifin design features two super durable, flexible ifins, making the boards straighter and faster to paddle than the original three fin set-up. The ifins also provide increased agility and performance in the surf and make the board easier to pack down.
• Extended deck pads increase comfort and grip while providing a cleaner look.
• Ergonomic tubular handles on all boards now give a cushioned, comfortable grip.
• Graphics have been updated with a more streamlined, cohesive look. This includes color-coded valves to match the decks.
• New Titan 2 Pump. Available in 2021 only with boards. The Titan was redesigned to make the pump more portable including a smaller profile with fold-up feet, slide out handles and nested pressure gauge. A slightly taller, sleeker and more powerful barrel that allows one to roll up the boards into a smaller package.

 

The Red Paddle Co Activ 10'8" comes complete with the ATB Transformer roller backpack, repair kit, cinch belt, cell phone case, instructions and special Red Paddle Co Titan 2 hand pump with pressure gauge, which makes inflation of large volume boards to 18-20 psi easier, leaving you more time to paddle. Once you try a Red, you'll love it - the proof is in the paddling.
