On to the new… and still loyal to the old 👀💦 Feat me, Mrs AW, my all-time favourite from the RED Paddle Co range, the brand new 2026 Compact 11’0, plus a guest appearance from Nelson the SUP spaniel 🐾 “I started a bit of a love affair with the Compact a few years ago when RED first launched this model. It suits me perfectly being so light, and I still can’t get over how small it packs away without compromising on performance or speed.” Same Compact obsession… just the updated version (it’s the one on the left) 😅 If you’re thinking about getting into paddleboarding or upgrading your current setup, get in touch and we’ll happily chat you through the full RED Paddle Co range and help find the right board for you. #abersochwatersports #abersoch #redpaddleco #paddleboardinguk

Paddleboarding has given us some of the best sibling bonding moments from day one 🩵 We’ve absolutely loved every second with @redequipment (*brand ambassador) and can’t wait for all our summer adventures ahead ☀️ Our 12-year-old is constantly offering everyone a ‘lake tour’ - he genuinely couldn’t love it more 🥹 (Oh my gosh…and the new RED parka I recently got - swipe - then google the Women’s EVO Pro Slimline Parka 👀 Highly waterproof (15k), breathable (8k)…you’re welcome!! BEST. THING. EVER!! I already know it’s one of those pieces I’ll have for years. Now I fully understand why @alldadstalk wears his even when nowhere near a body of water 😆 school runs, dog walks…honestly, I so get it now 🤭) Currently packing everything up for a mountain festival - our first time at @keswickfestival with the @thule family and I cannot wait to document this one 😏🥹 P.S. Pudding 🐶 definitely prefers paddleboarding to swimming too 🤭 📍 The @lakes_byyoo , Cotswolds #travelwithkids #paddleboardinglife #paddleboarding #cotswolds #familyescape

Beach walks in all weather 🌊🤍 Now we’ve got our new coats from @redequipment there’s no stopping us. The long sleeve dry waterproof changing robe keeps us warm, cosy and dry ✨ perfect for windy beach days, post-swim wraps and slow seaside strolls. The colours are just beautiful 🌈 #ad #redequipment #changingrobe #beachwalks #familyadventures

Trying to pack for @ultraswim333 without every item I own becoming ‘essential’ 😂 Off to Croatia 🇭🇷 on Thursday with @redequipment and @catch.swim Featuring: - an unreasonable amount of swim kit - enough carbs to fuel a small nation - spare goggles for your spare goggles (I’ve been burned before) - and all the cool bits from Red Equipment that will keep me warm, dry, and secure I’ll also be taking over the Red Equipment Instagram stories from tomorrow, sharing the chaos / swims / beauty of Croatia so you can come along for the ride 🌊 #ambassador

A SUP-tacular Challenge! Red Equipment Ambassador @natashastarseeker is taking on the UK’s first Coast-to-Coast Canoe Trail! This stretches from Liverpool in the west to Goole on the Humber Estuary and follows the 127-mile Leeds & Liverpool Canal and 35 miles along the Aire & Calder Navigation through Yorkshire. Starting on 15th May, Natasha will cover 162 miles on the endurance paddle which crosses coast-to-coast across England. Over 10 days she will follow Britain’s longest single canal, carrying her SUP (stand-up paddleboard) around 101 locks too. Natasha will be paddling with two friends, Claire and Joseph, and will be joined along the way by some other paddlers for parts of the journey. One of those is fellow Red ambassador @jomoseley - who was the first woman to ever paddle the trail at the age of 54! The mum-of-three will paddle approx. 15-20 miles a day on her @redequipment Sport+ 14’ SUP as she embarks on her epic voyage to raise funds for the @canalrivertrust . It is so important to ensure that everyone has a space where they can relax and escape to, such as canals and rivers. Along the way Natasha will be litter picking and raising awareness of issues, such as plastic pollution, invasive animal and plant species, and protecting native water-based wildlife. The beauty of this challenge is that the route is very well documented, with detailed information to help you plan. But, as Jo Moseley has previously said, as far as we are aware only 12 people have crossed it in full in one trip. More have climbed Everest or swum the Channel! Natasha is being supported with kit from @redequipment and, over the summer of 2026, several Red Ambassadors will also be taking on an endurance challenge. They love to encourage adventures through paddling and to help others find their happy place by the water. They will be raising funds for @canalrivertrust and @surfersagainstsewage  💙 Follow their adventures!

Day 3 of paddle boarding the Whanganui River 🏄‍♀️ The day of rapids, stunning gorges, too much mud & a lot of fun on SUPs! 22km in four hours through the 50/50 rapids (50:50 if you’re falling in… did we fall?!) Paddling our last day today from Tieke Kainga to Pipiriki on New Zealand’s Great Walk - the 90km Whanganui river. Board: 12’6 @redequipment Sport Bags: @redequipment 30L adventure backpack, 40L expedition bag, 60L dry bag So, now, who’s added this to your standup paddleboarding bucket list? 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

Huge congrats to Ambassador @andy.swimming 🔥 Completing a record-breaking 55km swim through one of the most remote and dangerous waterways on the planet, Andy’s latest challenge was a test of endurance, resilience and mental strength at the very highest level. @andy.swimming swam through croc infested waters down the River Ord in Kimberley in… 🐊 … 🕰️ 11 hours 51 minutes… a NEW Record! 🏆 Well Done Andy! What an achievement. #lifesbetterbythewater

Day 2 Paddleboarding the Whanganui River! 🏄‍♀️ 35km day today on my SUP 🙌 John Coull campsite to Tieke Kainga The river flow dropped a wee bit, the flow slowed, the gorge didn’t disappoint with beautiful side trips - and the river was glistening in the sunshine. Half way through we loved the views from our walk up to the Bridge to Nowhere - an epic place for lunch and spotting eels in the water! Tieke Kainga- what a special campsite and spot for a marae too. Tune in for day 3!

Day 1 of Paddleboarding the Whanganui River - 37km 🏄‍♀️ I paddled 90km on my SUP over three days down New Zealand’s only Great Walk that’s actually not a walk but a paddle through this epic gorge 🤤 Absolutely stunning sup and camp trip at the end of the season. The river had recovered from its flood, the river was moving and the sun was shining 🤩 Boards: @redequipment Sport 12’6, Voyager 13’2 @moananzsup Kehu 12’6 Bags: @redequipment 60L dry bag & 40L expedition bag Tune in tomorrow for Day 2! 🙌
