    SUP DEALS EVERYWHERE! / ‘BUY NOW’ but consider these things first! // The Paddle & Foil Show by SUPboarder

    Now is the perfect time to buy a SUP, with lots of great paddleboard deals out there. We highlight why this is, and what you should consider before you buy, to make sure you get the most for your buck! There’s nothing like a good deal and saving yourself a bit of money. With many SUPs currently being in stock, due to reasons I speak about in this video, there is definitely more boards to choose from at the moment and at a good price too. But when choosing the right board, make sure it not only works for you on the water, but that it will also last as long as possible. Remember it’s not always the case, but generally speaking the more you spend the better board you’ll get. If you’re a SUPboarder Pro subscriber check out the bonus video below where I name our top iSUP and composite board brands this year.

    Downwind Foiling - Reprogramming our minds to what the reality actually is...!

    Will from SUPboarder catches up with Ross Bazely (Kitebarn / Armstrong Rider) who has been coaching Will through his downwind journey and talks of how he has had to think differently to succeed in Downwind foiling. Ross tells us about his own foiling for the past few months where his goal is to downwind foil but the reality is hard to achieve with a busy job and family life.

    How do you make an iSUP? Behind the Scenes at Red Paddle Co. - Part 2 - Why are Red Different? // The Paddle & Foil Show by SUPboarder

    Reuben recently visited Red Paddle Co. to talk to them about all things SUP... in this episode Reuben quizzes Commercial Director George Shillito and Head of Design Phil Hawthorne on everything about how they make a Red Paddle Co. SUPs and gives you all a really great insight into whats going on behind the scenes with this iSUP brand. Theres huge amounts of insight in this interview, so we have split it into two parts.... part one covers the production process, quality controls materials and pros and cons of welded vs. glued rails, while part 2 we discuss what makes Red Paddle Co. different to other brands. Looking at innovation, environmental impact and price! Well worth a listen, particularly if you have an interest in our SUP industry/Red and the environmental impact they have. Who are Red Paddle Co.? Red Paddle Co inflatable paddleboards and Red Equipment are very well known to many paddlers around the world. And for many of us, a Red board was the very first board we ever stood on. Red have been making iSUPs since 2008 and you can now find hundreds of thousands of Red boards throughout the world. As the iSUP markets grown, with many more brands following Red Paddle Co’s lead, we now have many iSUP brands of different quality and price to choose from.
