The new Red Paddle Co 9’2″ x 29″ Compact

The Red Paddle Co 9’2″ Compact is the ultimate travel paddleboard, designed to go anywhere and deliver a versatile, authentic paddling experience. Whether you’re exploring high mountain lakes, enjoying SUP surfing, or simply adventuring on flat water, this board offers unmatched convenience and performance.

Constructed with exclusive MSL 1000 material, the board weighs only 7 kg (15.2 lbs), making it incredibly lightweight and easy to transport. Its portability shines when carried in a backpack or under your arm and ensures a nimble experience in waves, allowing for early catches and smooth transitions into a surf stance. The board features a quad stringer system, which increases stiffness as air pressure rises, and the RSS batten system enhances rigidity by up to 40%.

With dimensions of 29 inches wide and 4 inches thick, the board balances agility for surf situations with stability and confidence for flat-water paddling. The wide design offers a smooth straight-line paddling experience while remaining highly maneuverable.

Key features include a full-length EVA deck pad with square-cut texture and embossed patterns for excellent traction and easy stance adjustment. The board folds in half for compact packing, naturally creating a centerline to help with positioning. The removable center handle declutters the deck for surf environments, while a shoulder-mounted EVA finger grip makes carrying effortless when the handle is removed.

The 9’2″ Compact comes with a specially designed compact bag, a Titan 2 pump for quick inflation, leash, and a durable five-piece carbon-nylon paddle. This high-performance paddle is ideal for tackling various challenges and adventures.

The 9’2″ Compact by Red Paddle Co is your lightweight, portable companion, perfect for exploring the world and enjoying versatile paddling experiences. Happy paddling!
