If you are a smaller person, you will find it tough to pump up much higher than 15 PSI, but you can also get away with less pressure for my height of 5’4″ and weight, 15 PSI is more than adequate. The Red Paddle recommended pressure is between 16 to 22 PSI. The higher the pressure, the stiffer the board. So, about 180 strokes and under 5 minutes. The pumping started to get a little harder, but with another 25 pumps we were at 15 PSI and quit. A breezy 40 more pumps brought us to 8 PSI, and another 40 pumps to 12 PSI. We removed the red plug on the Titan, and started using the single barrel. At 75 pumps, we were at 5 PSI and – even with my entire body weight – couldn’t push any more air. With 57 strokes (just over a minute) the board had unfurled and we were at 3 PSI. make sure to remove the clip before pumping! Luckily, the high visibility color allowed us to find it after a couple minutes of searching. We pulled up on the pump handle and immediately snapped the plug tether, popping the plug into the air. We were so eager to get started, we forgot that the new Titan pump features a clip which attaches the pump body to the red plug tether, ensuring that the pump handle doesn’t telescope when being carried. This is where we came upon our one and only problem. Then take the military valve adaptor (adaptor on the end of the hose), and screw it onto the valve slightly to lock into position. Screw the hose onto the pump carefully – if it gets cross-threaded, air will leak out and you will have a difficult time pumping the board up to necessary pressure. To do this, make sure the red plug near the pump handle is inserted in the hole – not to worry, the instructions are printed on the pump body. To start off, you will be using both barrels, allowing the board to be filled in less time, and with less strokes. It also now comes with multiple adaptors, which can be used on inflatable kayaks, dinghies and kite equipment. The included Titan dual-barrel (or twin cylinder) pump comes with a built-in pressure gauge, so you can monitor the board’s PSI. Before you go to all the effort of inflating the board, make sure the plunger is in the inflate position. By using your finger to gently push on the plunger, it can be moved to the inflate mode (air goes in and doesn’t come back out) and deflate mode (air goes in and comes back out). These are very simple to use and feature an inflate mode (spring plunger is UP) and a deflate mode (spring plunger is DOWN). The Red Paddle Ride 10’6 utilizes one spring-loaded military valve for inflation. Lay it out face up (fins down) so that you can access the military valve. (AirKayaks note: the fin guards should be considered packing materials, they are not meant to be permanently used.) There are three integrated tracking fins at the rear of the board. Remove the fin guards and unroll the SUP body. These include generic information on using the pump, using the valves, deflating the board, basic paddle boarding tips, fin details and board care. The instructions (Welcome Guide) are located in a mesh pocket inside the backpack. The 10’6 Ride inflatable SUP arrives rolled up around the high pressure Titan pump, inside the backpack. Weight is 34 lbs for backpack, board and pump, which all easily fit in the back of a small car. Once rolled up, the SUP board and pump fit into the backpack, as well as a breakdown paddle with shafts under 37 inches. Inside the box is the SUP body, roller backpack, Titan pump, pressure gauge, cinch belt, instructions, repair kit and a bonus cell phone case. The box as received weighs 39 lbs, measuring 38 x 15 x 15 inches.
(Please note, some of this is repeated from previous write ups.) Getting Started with the Red Paddle Co Ride 10-6 Having previously reviewed the Ride 10-6 in 2015, we decided to take a look at the new features on our biggest selling board.įollowing is our write-up on the 2017 Ride 10’6″ from Red Paddle Company. In September, some of the new 2017 models arrived in the States. Each year, Red Paddle Co raises the industry bar with new models and new features, now sporting 22 models ranging in size from 8’10” to 22’0 for single to multi-paddlers. is a UK-based business focused solely on the design and manufacture of inflatable paddle boards and accessories, now well-known for performance, innovation and ruggedness. We first stumbled across the Red Paddle Co inflatable SUPsin early 2012.įounded in 2007, Red Paddle Co.
