Red Paddle co Ride 9.6 Compact

Who's it for?

An all-round SUP for riders who want the ultimate in convenience and storage without compromising on performance.

Half the Size, Double the Adventure. A game-changing SUP both on and off the water!

Ten years in the making, the mission to make paddle boarding even more accessible has been realised. The revolutionary 9’6” Compact (patent-pending) is a step forward in what an inflatable board can be – a full-sized SUP which folds down to half the size of a conventional inflatable paddle board.

Based on the award-winning, all-round Ride 10’6? MSL, the 9’6” Compact is 32”/813mm wide and 4.7”/120mm thick and provides the perfect blend of stability and manoeuvrability allowing you to make the most of any location and any conditions! Weighing in at just 8kg (board-only) and supporting riders up to 95kg/209lbs, it has never been easier to fold, roll and go on your next SUP adventure.

PACTTM TECHNOLOGY:

To achieve this completely new compact board RPC developed state-of-the-art trademarked technology, exclusive to the 9’6? Compact. At the core of the board is a unique weaving process that creates an extra-high-resolution thread matrix. When combined with a super-strong but malleable outer layer and advanced quad stringer system – the result is a super-stiff board that rolls up to an ultra-small pack size.

THE 9’6” COMPACT PACKAGE INCLUDES THE BOARD, BACKPACK, FIVE-PIECE PADDLE, TITAN PUMP AND LEASH.

THE BAG:

THE COMPACT backpack is highly engineered to offer unique levels of adjustability and comfort, plus incredible shoulder and back support.

We think it’s the most highly engineered SUP bag on the planet, and as it applies approximately 53% less downforce on the carrier’s lower back, you can travel for longer in comfort. With customisable lumbar support and adjustable height features, it’s suitable for almost any size of paddler. And it doesn’t stop there:

• Tubular closed cell padding on the handles
• Concentrated shoulder padding
• Brushed cotton shoulder and back cushioning
• Adjustable shoulder straps

All these combine to make it a pleasure to carry, whether you’re on a short walk to the water or off on an epic adventure.

Dimensions: Height: 560mm | Width: 420mm | Depth: 280mm

THE BOARD:

UNPACK

PACT™ technology features a completely new durable material with a high resolution thread matrix but is malleable to ensure easy packing.

UNROLL

The board wraps around itself and the Titan pump.

UNFOLD

The split deckpad and offset valve creates a ‘living hinge’, allowing the board to fold easily down the middle.

• Thickness: 4.7”/120mm
• Volume: 222 litres
• Rider Weight: up to 95kg/209lb
• Full package weight: 12.7Kg

THE PADDLE:

Creating a compact paddle was not an easy task, but RPC have found the perfect solution: a five piece paddle.

As a result, it packs away perfectly, but it is still adjustable with no compromise on the water.

• MATERIAL - Made of high-modulus carbon for extra rigidity, with a durable pure nylon blade.
• ECO - The Nylon blade of the paddle is laser etched, with no printing, chemicals or transfers and produced with a single pure material. Meaning the design will stay on forever, resulting in no aesthetic implications.
• ASSEMBLY - The new anti-twist adjustment system with 45 degree cut push-pin technology has resulted in the most compact paddle yet

THE FINS:

Even the fins have been redesigned and are only available with the new 9’6”Compact.

They use a simple click fin system with a secondary screw for added security. The two off set fin boxes themselves are also compatible with standard FCS fins, so you can customise the feel of your board on the water.

THE TITAN PUMP:

Still the best pump on the market? Of course it is.

That’s why RPC had to make room for it in the new compact bag, It completes the package perfectly. The Titan Pump is so efficient and well designed that you will be on the water in no time.
