Gear Up: 5 Essential Accessories Every Red Paddle Co Owner Needs
Unboxing a brand-new Red Paddle Co inflatable stand-up paddle board package is an incredible feeling. Out of the box, you get a world-class board, a brilliant bag, and the highly efficient Titan II pump. But if you want to maximize your comfort, safety, and overall enjoyment out on the water, adding a few curated accessories can completely transform your paddling experience. Here are 5 essential upgrades every Red Paddle Co owner should consider.
- The Red Original Silent Air Remover: If you hate the incredibly loud, ear-splitting “hiss” that happens the moment you push the valve down to deflate your board, this accessory is a sanity-saver. It securely screws into the valve and diffuses the rushing air, dropping the noise down to a quiet whistle so you don’t wake up the whole campground or parking lot.
- An Upgraded Carbon Paddle: While many starter packages come with aluminum or composite paddles, upgrading to a Red Paddle Co Prime Carbon or Ultimate Carbon paddle reduces arm fatigue significantly. Carbon paddles are exceptionally lightweight and possess a crisp flex profile that puts noticeably more power into every single stroke.
- Red Original Waterproof Deck Bag: Keep your dry layers, lunch, keys, and camera completely safe and easily accessible. Red Original’s deck bags are entirely waterproof (not just water-resistant) and feature a premium TPU construction with specialized clips that hook directly into the cargo d-rings on your board’s nose.
- The Electric Pump Adapter: Want to skip the pre-paddle workout entirely? Grab a standard Schrader valve adapter. This allows you to connect your Red Paddle Co board to a standard electric car pump or compressed air unit so you can sit back and sip your coffee while the machine does the inflating for you.
- A Premium Coiled Leash: Safety should never be compromised. If your board didn’t come packed with one, a heavy-duty coiled ankle or calf leash is mandatory. A coiled leash stays up on the deck pad instead of dragging in the water, preventing it from catching on subsurface weeds or river debris.
