DESIGN FOR DISSEMBLY: TAKING STEPS TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE
Here at Red Paddle Co we love the great outdoors, and aim to do as much as we can to protect this amazing planet we live on.
Our in house team of design experts are constantly evolving how we approach production and design to reduce waste, adhesives and dyes. Our board production facility is now 100% waste free, our paper and card packaging is 100% recyclable and our boards are designed to last using MSL pressure lamination resulting in warranty rates of just 0.5% globally. On average it takes us 72 hours to make each and every Red Paddle Co board. Such is our dedication to detail all products, where possible are designed for disassembly using pure materials to allow for ongoing maintenance and improved recyclability.

HOW TO FIT YOUR RSS BATTENS
HOW TO FIT YOUR RSS BATTENS
By looking at how and where a board flexes we have developed and patented the Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) to increase rigidity by up to 40%. It works by inserting stiffening battens along the rails of the board. The battens then work against the downward force of the rider to produce a stiffer board by preventing flex – similar to how a stringer works on a hard board. The stiffening battens are removable for easy board rolling and can be stored in the carry bag for transportation to and from the water.We have tested every system currently available and even developed fin systems of our own to find the best solution. As a result we have employed two separate systems depending on the use of the board so that you get an authentic paddle boarding experience every time but with the ultimate convenience.
