Should You Rent Or Buy A Paddleboard?
If you are trying paddleboarding this summer, you’ll need to either rent or buy a paddleboard. Read Red’s guide today to decide which option is best for you!
We offer customers the possibility to extend the standard board warranty to 5-years on all paddle boards bought new and unused from recognised Red retailers. To activate this extended warranty we require you, the customer, to register your board with us via our website within 3 months of purchase.
Extended warranties are not applicable on boards used for commercial purposes such as rentals or schools (see 'general terms' below). For the avoidance of doubt, it is only Red Paddle Co inflatable SUP boards that can qualify for the 5 Year Extended Warranty and not paddles, leashes, bags, fins or any other accessory or boards from previous model years.
Only brand new, unused boards qualify for this guarantee. The Red Paddle Co 5-year warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship only.
If your product is assessed by our product team and deemed to have failed due to defects in materials, production or craftsmanship during the extended warranty period Red will repair it free of charge or replace it at our discretion in the original country of purchase.
Normal wear and tear damage, damage caused by misuse, cosmetic damage, improper care or impacts/accidents are not covered by this warranty. Wear and tear is natural and inevitable damage as a result of normal use and exposure to the elements.
Losses or costs incurred as a result of loss of use are not covered. The product’s lifetime depends on how well it’s taken care of and how much use it gets. Factors such as heat and UV can cause accelerated aging of inflatable boards.
Boards used for commercial use such as rentals, SUP schools and/or Red Rescue Boards are not covered by extended warranty. Full warranty terms for our Rescue boards can be found here: https://red-rescue.com/warranty-guidelines/
