What we say The idea of paddling with more than one person on a SUP is still a very new concept for many of us. But as soon as we saw the new Red Paddle Co Tandem board earlier this year, a joint adventure paddle was on our SUP bucket list for sure! Myself and Reuben were all setup for a childfree weekend SUP adventure away, camping on the beach etc… but unfortunately the weather had other ideas and made us have to rethink our Red Tandem adventure plans.
This is the video blog of the paddle we recently did with our 4 year daughter in Cornwall, UK – ‘One board, one family & one micro adventure.’ It wasn’t the long weekend SUP adventure we had initially planned but it was great fun all the same. Paddling to a beautiful remote spot only assessable by water was amazing. And being able to enjoy it together as a family on one board was even better…
Our overview of the Red Paddle Co Tandem
As soon as we saw the Tandem we were keen to give it a try, but weren’t convinced about the idea of paddling together. Would we still be talking to each other at the end of it?!!! And a board can’t be that stable can it? But we soon got the feel of the board and after just 5mins on the water we were off paddling comfortably together as a family of 3. It was a great feeling being able to chat and share our experiences without having to shout across the water and ruin the moment we set-out to enjoy. As Reuben mentions in the blog the stability of the board is unreal and this is something that we didn’t expect. It almost feels like the more weight you put on the board the more stable it becomes.
“For a family or a couple the Red Tandem is a great paddling experience that will have you enjoying the social side of SUP even more… smiles all round.”

Best video yet!. Watched it a 2nd time with my non-paddleboarding wife; both utterly captivated by little Izzy and pure joy of paddling as a as family unit. Video alone worth the cost of ProBoarder annual subs: Thank you, a genuine pleasure to watch: it left us smiling & more appreciative of how paddle boarding can be such enhance your life
So awesome to hear Gareth. I have passed on your kind words to Reuben and the family which I’m sure they are stoked! Happy paddling!
