Super Tough Construction
Packed full of incredible features and patented innovations the Red Rescue Prone Range is built to endure the harshest of environments.
We use our industry leading technology MSL Tough™*: a high definition drop-stitch which is exclusive to Red and delivers a long-lasting outershell. Our 72 hour construction process is 10x the Industry average for an Inflatable Board and we have the industry’s most rigorous quality control process, ensuring that we never compromise on stiffness, durability or performance.
The boards deflate and pack down into our specially designed backpack/wheeled carry bag and our double-chamber Titan 2 Pump reduces the amount of time and effort it takes to inflate your board by half.
Pulling on over 15 years of experience in inflatable technology and design – every aspect of your board package has been tailored to always deliver performance when under pressure.

Inflatable Board Benefits
SUPER STIFF
Combining exclusive design features like our patented Rail Stiffening System (RSS) and unique MSL Tough Construction; our boards deliver uncompromising performance. Unlike other inflatables, Red Boards don’t bend like a banana.
ULTRA COMPACT
No more space in your board room? Storage issues will be a thing of the past once you make the change to Red Rescue. The boards easily pack down and you can fit, eight Red Boards in place of one traditional hard board.
NO MORE DINGS
Stony shores, shore-dumps or a wash over the rocks? Our unique inflatable technology is built to withstand every challenge it faces it. Where a hard board dings easily – a Red simply bounces off and keeps on performing.
UNRESTRICTED TRAVEL
Our Board Bag switches seamlessly from a super comfy backpack, to a wheeled suitcase: For whatever use– there is no better option than Red Rescue for comfort and function. With plenty of extra space in-built for the rest of your gear.
SAFER SERVICE
Whether training or lifesaving, hardboards are large and heavy. When they collide with a lifesaver or a member of the public, they cause serious injuries. For the increased safety and protection of everyone in the water: Go Inflatable, Go Red Rescue.
SAVE MONEY
Red Rescue Boards are cheaper than most hard boards and need fewer repairs. You need less space to store them and you will need to replace them less frequently. This means more money for you to spend on other parts of your Lifesaving Service
“We believe that riding an inflatable rescue board should deliver an authentic experience for lifesavers. It should be built to perform like a hard board but have all the added benefits of being inflatable. We never compromise on performance, safety or reliability.
Lewis Durant – Red Rescue Lead Design
Grip Where It’s Needed
Our super grippy, Red embossed EVA deckpad keeps the lifesaver in position. After years of testing, we removed the deckpad from the front third of the board to create a casualty glide area to allow for easy positioning and onboarding of the casualty. We added a section of extra grippy, diamond-cut deckpad at the tail for increased surf performance and durability
Grab and go using one of the many padded grab and reinforces handles: strategically placed for comfort & function during training and recovery.
All Day Comfort
Our SSR (Seriously Smooth Rails) utilise an additional, widened rail tape so that the seams won’t become a chafing area.
We’ve also strategically placed our twin grab-handles so that the board can easily be straddled without extra rubbing. When you are on a board for hours on end – comfort makes a big difference.
Take Things Up A Level
Our Rescue Boards weigh 1-2kg less than your standard hard board alternative: that difference would be a lot more if you are talking about the typically dinged and waterlogged boards often still being used all over the world.
This weight saving improves your Lifesavers response times on land and increases their board control on the water. On top of this, if your Lifesaver does lose the board in the surf, it decreases the severity of any potential injuries that the board could inflict.
Don’t Just Take Our Word for it
“The Red Rescue 10’6″ Prone Rescue Inflatable Rescue Board has been a welcomed addition for our lifeguard and event safety teams, particularly in inland waterways and aquatic event settings.
It’s lightweight and durable design allows for quick deployment, making it an essential tool for rapid response in water emergencies. Lifeguards have found it incredibly stable and buoyant, providing excellent support for both rescuer and patient during rescues.
One of the standout features is its ease of use—setup takes just minutes, and packing it down is just as quick, making transport and storage effortless. Despite frequent use in various and harsh beach conditions, we have yet to encounter any issues with the board’s inflation or consistent performance.
It remains a reliable, efficient, and a valuable asset as part of our wider water safety operations.”
