Yes, both pumped to the same pressure to show how the difference in the construction and material properties effects stiffness.

Hi @BareFacedDriver . The hidden zip is known as a ghost zip. It allows access to the back of the garment primarily for when teams or groups want to add embroidery (e.g logos) to the back of the robe - we offer this service as well. It does though help with air circulation when drying.

@@RedPaddleCo Ah, that makes sense. Good to know, thanks for the speedy response too!

Thanks for the comment. Are you removing the red plug from the back of the handle once you reach around 8psi? This isolates the large chamber and allows you to pump with only the small chamber. Here’s a video that should help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHi3p6CsYrOCbrc&si=xkbApsaH-5O0rxsb

@@RedPaddleCo I had no idea what the red plug was for, so no I might not have removed it. I will try again actually following the instructions. Thanks!

Hi, As long as you choose the right size for your body size/ weight then it will give you enough buoyancy to float you but you will still need give some input - e.g moving your legs and arms. If you were not moving your limbs it won’t keep you fully afloat. To achieve full floating you would need to use a 150N buoyancy aid. It’s important that you feel confident in the water wearing it so we would suggest you try the vest in shallow water first before using in deeper water or with a paddle board to check it works for you. At the end of the day water competency is an important factor for all Waterports. Building your confidence over time is important.

Hi there one board at a time.

Thank you for your lovely feedback!

Hi Tel, the cost of inflation is set by the owner/operator of the unit. On average it is £3 per board (depending on the size of the board you might get 2 inflated for that price as it is based on time - similar to a garage forecourt tyre inflator).

Thank you for getting back, it would be a great asset as there are many people with paddle boards at Broadsands and Breakwater beach also. All the best, cheers😊

If you would like some more information about installing a unit, send across your email address and we can send an email over. :) @@telhunter7919

Hi Red, I’m a paddle boarder and not in a position to have an inflator installed, I assume that would be the responsibility of Torbay Council for those beaches mentioned but it would be a good asset if they gave the go ahead. Cheers.😊

Hi @janzam, if you contact [email protected] and let us know where you are based we can give you more info on pricing, installation, etc.

적극적인 환경이 부러울뿐입니다. 👍

Hi James, It's about choosing the right type of PFD (note not a 'Lifejacket' as that is a different type of floatation not suited to SUP) for the conditions and your experience/confidence level. There is a place for the various types. A waist belt PFD is ideal when paddling on still water when there is no risk of entrapment and you just want that extra bit of reassurance/floatation if you were to become separated from your board, which as you say is your main floatation aid. No zips to undo, you just pull it directly from it's pouch and over your head. A quick and easy motion. A great solution for calm paddling in warm weather when a full foam PFD can be too hot and the temptation is to take it off, at which point it's useless.

we loved it!

They don't come with a bag as standard but we sell a waterproof compression bag separately

You can purchase a compression stash bag as additional for your change robe. red-equipment.co.uk/products/pro-change-robe-stash-bag-navy

Please do get in contact with us on [email protected] if you're still waiting on this being sorted.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your lovely feedback.

Thanks for your question. They are unisex and split across the site to make searching easier. For further assistance please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at [email protected].

@@RedPaddleCo thank you

Thank you for your question. We have a video that can help with rolling up the compact and putting it in your bag with all the gear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXfWpKGofNZ7lbs Even though its a 9'6' the 12'0' still works the same. If you would like us to send you a 12'0' video we can do that :)

@RedPaddleCo thanks, I'll try again with the flat method to first push out the air THEN fold and roll again. If that doesn't work, then I'll need video proof with a used board. It's almost 3' more to roll up😆😆

@@bananascoaster1243 no problems at all. We will be happy to help. If you email us at [email protected] we will be happy to help with a video if you need it.

@RedPaddleCo success with the double roll method. Now trying to figure out dry bag for pump and possible security for backpack so I can try biking with it!

our dry bags now have backpack straps which might be good for bike packing alongside a waterproof dry pouch for your essentials which can easily attach onto the board and bike. @@bananascoaster1243

Thanks for the comment. The video here is showing the correct way to hold the paddle.

Thanks Al!
