Red Snapper 9'4 ex-hire
Was £400.00
£300.00
Ex hire 2019 Red Paddle Co Snapper 9 4 Junior SUP Stand-up paddleboarding is for everybody, not just the grown-ups, which is why they made the 9’4” Snapper, a SUP for kids up to 60kg/132lb.It’s shorter and narrower than, say, the Ride family, which makes it easier for young riders to manoeuvre, whether on a river or catching the swell off a sandbar. We’ve given it a peppy design so it’s a board kids can call their own, but underneath it’s got all the quality signifiers you’d expect of a Red Paddle Co board: it’s made using the same TecAir process as the rest of our range; passes through the same quality control checks; and comes in the same innovative backpack. In other words, it offers the authentic Red Paddle Co experience, just packaged for the next generation of paddlersMSL 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.all boards come with Red Paddle Co backpack, Board Leash, Pump and paddle. sold as seen This would need to be collected from the centre as we do not offer any delivery service.
