How to deflate a red paddle board?
The next step in how to deflate a paddle board is to take off the valve cap then twist the lock into the open position until you can hear the air being released. If you are in a busy area or it’s early in the morning then you could use our red’s silent air remover to prevent any awkward moments and pack up in peace. There is no rule saying you can’t leave your paddle board inflated; however, we strongly recommend that if you’re leaving your paddle board in storage for long periods of time, you should deflate it to keep it in its best possible condition.
What PSI should a red paddle board be?
Where Red paddleboards are concerned, know that they are built to withstand large amounts of pressure. Generally speaking, we’d suggest aiming for 15-22 PSI. Red Paddle Co boards don’t have a maximum pressure on printed on our boards, but you will find they perform best between 15-20psi.The best inflatable stand-up paddle board psi level is anywhere from 10 to 15. Most people inflate their board to about 10 to 12 psi. A higher psi will help if you are riding in cold or choppy water. If you need a bit more stability, try increasing the psi of your board as well.Generally speaking, we’d suggest aiming for 15-22 PSI. This should ensure that your board reaches the levels of stiffness required for optimum stability, without you having to exert too much effort inflating your board or battle resistance from the valve when deflating it.Your paddle board is fully inflated when it feels firm to the touch and does not flex under pressure. Most boards have a recommended PSI, typically around 12-15 PSI, which you can check using the gauge on your pump.Generally speaking, we’d suggest aiming for 15-22 PSI. This should ensure that your board reaches the levels of stiffness required for optimum stability, without you having to exert too much effort inflating your board or battle resistance from the valve when deflating it.
