Red Paddle Co Accessories: Quick Gift Tips
We all know that Red Paddle Co has an enormous lineup of premium inflatable paddeboards on offer. But, the secret to the brand’s success, is in their wide array of incredibly well made accessories for paddlers. From PFD’s to leashes, dry bags and more, Red Original accessories are a great way to round out your gift shopping for the holiday paddler 😉 Here’s a sampling of what you should not miss.
Red Paddle Co Insulated Travel Mug = $26
In keeping with Red Paddle Co’s desire to preserve our marine environment, they just released the Red Original insulated travel mug which can carry hot (or cold) beverages for your post-paddle refreshment. Eliminating single-use plastic for beverage, we salute you Red Original!
Red Paddle Co Dog Buoyancy Aid = $92
Clever and necessary. If you love your dog as much as you love to SUP, you’ll want to keep him safe on your paddleboard. The Red Paddle Dog Buoyancy Aid gives you peace of mind with multiple ‘grab handles’ to bring your dog back up on board in case he (or she) decides to go for a swim. Innovative and real. Thanks Red Paddle Co!
Red Paddle Co Roll Top Drybag = $40
The beauty of Red Original accessories is you never have to 2nd guess the quality before you purchase any item. Red puts equal care into every detail in their accessory lineup as they do to the seams on their inflatable SUPs. You can rest easy knowing when it comes to quality, they’ve got you covered.

4Ocean collapsible travel straw = $25
The 4ocean x FinalStraw Collapsible Travel Straw 2.0 is a surprisingly compact, reusable, metal straw that folds up, fits on your keychain, and assembles itself like magic. Now you can easily refuse single-use plastic straws no matter where your adventures take you. And of course, every reusable straw purchased funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines.
Bureo: From Nets to Decks
Bureo is on a mission to protect our world’s oceans by focusing on eliminating fishing net pollution. Bureo’s mission includes offering education to South American countries about the state of our oceans, paying fishermen to recycle their nets (rather than cutting them and dropping them on the ocean floor) and using the repelletized plastic to create skateboards, surfboard fins, sunglasses, and more.
Jenga = $49.95
Bureo X Jenga® Ocean is the first board game made from 100% recycled fishing nets. A fun family game, this edition of Jenga is made from over 25 square feet of nets sourced through Bureo’s Net Positiva recycling program. Featuring threatened marine animal block designs, players of Jenga® Ocean are encouraged to ‘Save the Animals’ through special edition rules. Learning about the damaging impact of discarded fishing nets, which account for 10% of plastic pollution in the ocean, players will gain an understanding of how discarded nets are harming marine animals, and learn about what they can do to help. And, it’s FUN.
Bureo X Futures Alpha Series Fins = $70
Bureo x Futures Alpha Series fins combine Bureo’s recycled fishing nets with Futures’ Compound 6 carbon and air fusion technology. The result is are fins that are incredibly lightweight and resilient. Featuring advanced foil technology, the Futures template reduces drag and improves performance over standard fiberglass or plastic injection fins. Infused with the resiliency of carbon fiber and the lightness of air, this fin combines performance and responsibly sourced materials to create the next step in innovation from Futures.
Designed and manufactured by Futures in Huntington Beach – California, all recycled materials are sourced from Bureo’s fishnet recycling programs in Chile.
