Description
Much more than ‘just’ a children’s paddleboard, the 9’4″ Snapper 3-in-1 inflatable paddleboard is a versatile all-rounder for adventurous youngsters. Hard-wearing, high-performance paddleboarding, surfing or windsurfing for riders up to 60kg…
Developed from our market-leading junior paddleboard, the Snapper is lighter and more compact than our smallest Ride, yet no less robust. Optimised for younger paddlers to handle with ease, at 27″ wide with 150L of volume the twin-fin 9’4″ Snapper is big enough to provide plenty of float and stability yet narrow enough for kids to paddle effectively.
Plus the new do-it-all Snapper is now equipped with deck-plate and centre-fin attachments to transform it into a windsurfing board, ideally with our 1.5m or 2.5m rig pack. Or for the surf, we’ve cleared the deck with a removable central handle and no cargo straps to make it clutter-free for prone paddling and pop-up surfing.
Our soft, grippy deckpad is embossed and colour-coded to help SUP and windsurf foot placement, with a diamond cut kickpad at the tail for surfing. Red’s super-high quality fittings and accessories complete a package that will last for years.

Sustainability.
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.
Care.
How to store your board
Before storing, rinse all equipment in fresh water and let it dry completely.
To pack away, lay the deflated board deck-up and place the pump across the nose, leaving enough room to wrap the board over. Roll tightly, then secure with the strap. Use the backpack’s internal strap to secure the board inside.
Store your board in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If keeping it rolled up, avoid excess pressure on the straps. If space allows, it’s best to store the pump separately.
You can also leave your board inflated, ideally kept on a flat surface or upright – but do reduce the board’s pressure to below 15psi if not in use for a while.
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.
Everything You Need, Included.
ATB Transformer Bag.
The redesigned ATB Transformer makes our best-selling All-Terrain Backpack an even more versatile travel companion. Its standout feature, the innovative bagless carry system, lets you strip back to just the core straps when heading down to the water.
An adjustable ergonomic structure offers optimised shoulder and back support, while integrated compression straps enhance portability. Thoughtfully designed storage – an interior paddle blade pocket, Velcro paddle securing, and a generously sized outer zip pocket – keeps everything together in the bag.
Paddles.
Board packages come complete with a choice of paddle – or if you prefer, you can choose to go without. Ideal for newer paddlers, the Hybrid Tough paddle combines a durable nylon blade with a lighter 50% carbon hybrid shaft for an easier stroke.
For those prioritising performance, the Prime is a powerful, lightweight paddle with a 100% forged carbon shaft and blade.
Twin iFins + 9″ Touring Fin.
The 9’4″ Snapper 3-in-1 comes with two super-durable, flexible iFins permanently attached for minimal hassle. Our iFins can take a beating and are easy to reshape if they get bent.
Twin-fins paddle straighter and faster than a three-fin set-up, they also improve agility and performance in the surf. Most importantly they make the board simpler to pack down than a single fin: no need for tools, spares or replacements.
To switch into windsurfing mode, attach the 9″ Touring fin to the central fin box.
Titan II Pump.
Widely acclaimed as the best manual SUP pump on the market, our Titan II ensures you’ll spend less time pumping and more time paddling.
Its ergonomic design maximises ease and efficiency – pumping air at over 60mph in dual chamber mode. Then simply switch to single chamber to reach full pressure.
The redesigned airbox integrates the gauge and hose outlet for hassle-free pumping. Sleek in-line cylinders, removable handles and foldable feet simplify storage too.
8ft Coiled Leash.
Our Coiled SUP Leash is made for all flat-water paddlers and racers. When paddling it sits on the board to minimise drag, so it won’t catch on anything in the water.
The 7mm dual cord leash features double pivot points to reduce twisting, attached via a comfortable neoprene ankle cuff with a quick-release Velcro closure and built-in key pouch. Supplied with a rope loop for securing the rail saver to a D-ring or any other leash point.
