Red Equipment

Red Equipment is the new home of Red Paddle Co and Red Original in the UK, bringing together the world's best inflatable stand up paddle boards and leading outdoor lifestyle accessories in one place. Since co-founder John Hibbard came up with the idea of making inflatable paddle boards, the brand has been on a journey of discovery, adventure, and innovation.

Red Paddle Co stands apart as the only paddle board manufacturer operating from its own private facility, taking 72 hours to make each board—ten times longer than the industry average. Their exclusively-owned MSL material provides unrivalled stiffness, weight-saving stability, and superb finish, while the patented RSS stiffening system creates the most durable inflatable boards on the market.

The product range includes iconic boards like the 10'6 Ride all-rounder, the Sport range with Speed Tail technology, and the Explorer with its innovative V-Shaped Hull. Beyond boards, Red Original offers premium lifestyle products including sports clothing, changing robes, durable bags, and accessories for before, during, and after adventures.

Red Equipment is proud to be a Certified B Corporation, using business as a force for good. Their production facility is 100% waste-free with fully recyclable cardboard packaging, and the design team constantly innovates eco-friendly ways to reduce waste.
