What’s new for 2016?
- As with all 2016 Red Paddle Co inflatable paddle boards, the 9’4″ Snapper features the MSL fusion composite and airtight coating construction process for a lighter and stiffer board.
- Updated stainless steel cargo tie down d-rings complete with bungee cord.
- Improved central carry handle.
- Integrated tail handle and leash d-ring.
- Machine-pressed, thermosealed “crocodile finish” deck pads utilizing a stronger adhesive.
What is MSL? Monocoque Structural Laminate (MSL) fusion composite and airtight coating is a new construction process for 2016. MSL involves fusing the second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, removing hand gluing errors. The high-tech industrial process also saves up to 5 lbs of weight per board and makes the boards stiffer at lower pressures.
The 9ft 4in Snapper kids SUP will mean that younger paddlers can have a paddleboard with dimensions that suit them, as opposed to struggling with the regular boards, namely mom or dad’s bigger board.
The snazzy color deck pad graphics give the board a younger feel rather than looking like mom or dad’s board, something the kids will no doubt appreciate.
