Red Paddle Co 9'6" Wild MSL Inflatable Paddle Board

Designed for experienced river-riders, the 9'6" Wild inflatable paddleboard offers control and agility in full-on rapids. With its shorter length, this technical white-water board excels for advanced paddlers in graded river conditions. Pronounced nose rocker helps take drops, ride and punch through stoppers, break in and out of eddies, while 34" of width and 280L of volume provide a steady ride.

Constructed in our well-proven, ultra-durable MSL® drop-stitch material, the 9'6" Wild is resilient and reinforced enough to take all the knocks a river can throw at it. Deep-cut diamond EVA deckpad ensures sure-footed traction, combined with raised centre and rail risers for a solid stance.

Robust 4.6" twin US box river fins enhance tracking, drive, and manoeuvrability yet are short and flexible enough to avoid hang-ups. Five grab handles for reliable recovery plus easy put-ins, get-outs, and portages, while a high-traction cargo zone up front helps secure kit to the deck.

Material

What is MSL®? Safe. Stiff. Durable. 

Monocoque Structural Laminate or MSL® is the world’s leading drop-stitch material. Exclusive to Red Paddle Co boards, it’s made to our exact specifications. 

Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer. 

Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions. 

Laminate: the reinforced composite coating is bonded to the textile core using machine welding that applies heat and pressure to the inner PVC layer, saving over 2kg of adhesives and reducing cosmetic and safety concerns. Produced under low tension, this process creates a torsional stiffening effect when the boards are inflated, making MSL® stiffer at lower pressures.

At Red, sustainability isn’t just marketing hype – it’s at the core of what we do. As a certified B Corp (www.bcorporation.net) we champion high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. 

Fundamentally, our boards are designed and built to last. Our quality-assured Tec Air process has an extremely low warranty rate below 0.5%. Maximising longevity minimises our impact on the planet.

Yet even durable Red kit will eventually reach end-of-life, hence our ‘design for disassembly’ approach. For example, all Titan pump components are replaceable, while using 100% recoverable virgin plastic in our fins, finboxes and RSS battens ensure they’re fully recyclable. 

Our manufacturing processes, like turning the offcuts from our EVA deckpads into keyrings, aim for zero waste too, reflecting our commitment to low-impact resource selection.
