For the ultimate group paddle experience, look no further. Share the adventure with this 8-person party board! Go big or go home with Red Paddle Co's largest board. You'll be at one with the water and with each other with our 17'0'' XL Ride. Imagine the fun you'll have paddling out with your friends and family on this giant inflatable SUP. They do say adventures are meant for sharing… Whether you're looking to spend quality time with your family, or relax on the water in the sunshine with friends, you won't find a better-suited board for the occasion. Designed using our exclusive MSL fusion technology, this multi-person board is surprisingly light and easy to transport in its own, specially designed bag. At 17'0 long and 60″ wide, the Ride XL is designed to carry not one, but up to eight riders (with room left over for the family dog). Not only is paddling as a group a great bonding experience, but it's fun, sociable and great exercise too. The XL ride is an extension of its sister Ride boards, with a specially-crafted wide deck and tail to make it perfectly well-balanced and stable – even when it's at maximum capacity. This board also has several valves so you can share the inflation, saving your breath for the waves. It has multiple grab handles so it can be carried to the water by everyone. There's also plenty of space to take additional kit with you on the main deck pad or up front using the cargo tie down points.
