Red Paddle Co Compact 8'10'' Inflatable SUP

Designed for competent SUPsurfers wanting performance and convenience, the 8'10" Compact inflatable paddleboard is the latest addition to our tight-packing range. We haven’t compromised, with a full-on performance paddlesurfing shape – an ultra-portable, inflatable surfSUP for worldwide waveriding missions.

Constructed in our exclusive PACT™ technology, the 8'10" Compact folds and rolls down into the world’s most portable paddleboarding package. Yet when inflated, this test-winning waveboard revolutionises inflatable SUPsurfing.

At 29" wide, it’s perfect for catching waves and making snappy turns in surf. A wider front-end profile helps punch out over white water and boosts rider confidence. Rigidity is provided by super-stiff MSL® construction with quad stringers, reinforced by RSS battens, allowing just 4" of thickness for control on the waveface.

A removable handle offers an uncluttered deck while a traction zoned deckpad provides optimum grip. The 8'10" package includes a five-piece carbon paddle, Titan II pump, and straight surf leash in our 75L Compact Backpack.

Material:

MSL®1000: Compact Performance. 

MSL®1000 is the pinnacle in dropstitch technology, at 1KG lighter per square meter than MSL, it utilises next generation weave technology and a super-fine fibre matrix to create a highly malleable, featherlight product.

What is MSL®? Safe. Stiff. Durable. 

Monocoque Structural Laminate or MSL® is the world’s leading drop-stitch material. Exclusive to Red Paddle Co boards, it’s made to our exact specifications. 

Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer. 

Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions. 

Laminate: the reinforced composite coating is bonded to the textile core using machine welding that applies heat and pressure to the inner PVC layer, saving over 2kg of adhesives and reducing cosmetic and safety concerns. Produced under low tension, this process creates a torsional stiffening effect when the boards are inflated, making MSL® stiffer at lower pressures.

Care:

Before storing, rinse all equipment in fresh water and let it dry completely.

To pack away, lay the deflated board deck-up and place the pump across the nose, leaving enough room to wrap the board over. Roll tightly, then secure with the strap. Use the backpack’s internal strap to secure the board inside.

Store your board in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If keeping it rolled up, avoid excess pressure on the straps. If space allows, it’s best to store the pump separately.

You can also leave your board inflated, ideally kept on a flat surface or upright – but do reduce the board’s pressure to below 15psi if not in use for a while.
