9'8" Ride by Red Paddle Co

What the brand says

The smallest of the Ride family is the 9’8″ Ride, a board designed for all-round usage for lighter riders.

You’ll get the best out of it if you’re under 70kg/155lb, but that doesn’t exclude heavier riders. In fact, for heavier riders, the 9’8″ makes a great surf shape. Key to the Ride’s versatility are its dimensions. It’s 787mm/31″ wide and 100mm/3.93″ thick, which makes it a stable but manoeuvrable board. It’s a great board for beginners, but because it’s been stiffened with our RSS battens (see page 5), it delivers a fantastic experience for more advanced riders, too. The 9’8″ Ride also has cargo tie-downs on the front for a dry bag.

MSL fusion composite and airtight coating New for 2016, MSL involves fusing a second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, removing hand gluing errors. The high-tech industrial process also saves almost 2kg in weight and makes the boards stiffer at lower pressures.
