Why A Red Paddleboard Is The Best Gift For An Outdoorsy Person

Written by Luke Green /

So you’re searching for the best gift for the outdoorsy person in your life and finding it tricky? You’re certainly not alone, as outdoorsy people are notoriously hard to buy for! They value experiences over things, but getting into their headspace to work out exactly what they might want to do or where they might want to go can be a real challenge. 

Fortunately, we’ve got a solution and it comes in the shape of a Red paddleboard. Whether the adventurer in your life has tried paddleboarding before or is a total newbie, our market-leading paddleboards are the ultimate way to take a love for the outdoors to the next level and the answer to your gift-buying woes. Here’s why… 

Perfect For Beginners

We’ve carefully designed our complete collection of paddleboards with ease of use and accessibility in mind, making them perfect for beginners. Even if your outdoorsy friend has never tried paddleboarding and currently owns little to no specialist equipment, you’ll find packages across our whole range which include everything they need just to pump up and go, like a high-quality Titan II Pump, paddle and storage bag. 

Plus, the design of a Red paddleboard is deliberately user-friendly so our boards are particularly suited to first-timers. If they are a total beginner, opt for our best-selling all-round Ride range which couples exceptional stability with the manoeuvrability needed to develop a great paddling technique.

Easy To Travel With

Outdoorsy people love to travel and the gift of a Red paddleboard will open up even more epic experiences for them. One of the standout features of our entire inflatable SUP range is exceptional portability - our boards are designed to be easy to travel with, both near and far. They are quick to deflate and roll up neatly and tightly into their handy carry bag, making it a breeze to get a Red paddleboard from the car to shore or plane to destination. If you do think the recipient will want to take their board abroad, go for the Compact package which features a full-sized board able to seamlessly pack down into a half-sized backpack for easy and efficient transportation.

Built To Last

Truly outdoorsy people love to test themselves and throw themselves into new situations, whether that be tough weather conditions or endurance challenges. Their gift will need to be able to withstand its fair share of wear and tear and this is something we have prioritised when designing the market-leading Red paddleboard. We have carefully refined our board construction process, utilising innovative MSL technology to create incredibly tough and durable inflatable SUPs. No matter how far they want to push their sense of adventure, you can rest assured that your gift has been built to last. This is also a compelling reason to give the gift of a Red paddleboard even if they already own their own inflatable SUP. Unlike cheaper alternatives, our boards are built to really stand the test of time and will offer a clear upgrade on any starter SUP.

Tailored To Their Adventures

With mention of our all-round and compact boards, we’ve alluded to the fact that Red paddleboards can be tailored to suit the person you are buying for. In fact, we offer a huge range of different board configurations, from our racing range to multi-person SUPs for the whole family. Whether you know your gift will kickstart a love of paddleboarding or you’re buying for a seasoned paddler, we offer a specialist board for every kind of adventure style. With this gift for an outdoorsy person, you can certainly show just how much thought you have put into finding a gift that they will get maximum use and enjoyment out of. 

Responsible Choice

Anybody who spends lots of time outdoors will know just how important it is that we protect the planet, so it’s worth having sustainability at the forefront of your mind when shopping for their gift this year. As a certified B Corp, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do and this translates to the production of our paddleboards. We use virgin plastic which can be easily recycled where required and follow the principles of the Circular Economy at the core of our manufacturing processes. This means that a Red paddleboard is not just a thoughtful gift, but a responsible one too. 

If you have any questions when it comes to choosing the perfect Red paddleboard for the outdoorsy person in your life, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can talk you through the entire range and help you choose the perfect board and accessories for your loved one.
