The 9'6" Flow is Red Paddle Co's first inflatable SUP devoted soley to downriver whitewater, one of the fastest growing segments in the standup paddle board market. Designed with input from whitewater paddlers worldwide, the Flow 9-6 provides easy control on down river runs.

The material thickness is a whopping 150mm; the increased thickness is super-buoyant and 50% stiffer than a 100mm board at the same pressure, meaning a rider can obtain greater stiffness at lower pressure without affecting the ride and performance - or stiffer performance at higher pressure. This thickness is also perfect for non-surfing, flat water paddling as the board floats high to reduce drag.

New for 2016! All Red Paddle Co models are now constructed using Monocoque Structural Laminate (MSL) fusion technology. This innovative new process involves fusing a second layer of polymer to the drop-stitch material in the raw material stage. The end result is a higher-quality, high-pressure material utilizing less glue; this reduces the weight of each board up to 20% while increasing the tension and making the boards slightly more rigid.

The 9-6 Flow for 2016 has also undergone design changes such as a slight squaring of the shape, and the addition of a removable center fin to the current four fixed fins. The deep 6-inch sides allow the Flow to break through water, while the 34 inch beam provides stability. The new fin provides better tracking in flatwater situations. 

A pronounced nose rocker rides over obstacles, while the indestructible, integrated Quad fin set reduces the "double bump" common with three fin set ups when hitting rocks. The low profile fins also reduce hang-ups when running in shallow water.

And in those dicey sections, multiple side grab handles provide safety and control, while a new rubber grip under the deck lacing helps keep gear from shifting in "fluid" situations.

The 9-6 Flow will take your river-running to the next level!

• IFINS: Four super-tough tracking fins for the best mix of directional stability and control- can hit rocks or be grounded without skipping a beat. One removable center fin.
