The Package
Every Red Rescue board arrives ready for action. It comes complete with a heavy duty, all terrain backpack and our specially designed Titan 2 pump to get your boards to operational pressure in double quick time.
All Terrain Backpack:
Made from ultra-durable fabric and double-bonded nylon threads it has been designed to remove the stress of travelling with your board . Continuous-coiled, lockable zips, padded backpack straps, water-resistant lining and chunky wheels allow you to take your board just about anywhere on the planet. Deliberately oversized, the bag has capacity to take any extra kit you need and makes it easier to pack up and go when time is critical.
Titan II Pump:
Inflatable rescue boards need to be pumped to 20-22psi to give absolute rigidity. The Titan II is the world’s only double chamber pump designed for purpose, to get your board to pressure in half the time.
The Titan II has a compact, ergonomic design to increase ease and efficiency blowing out air at over 90kmph. Folding feet and removable handle help reduce the pack size whilst the integrated pressure gauge, hose connection and twin gear system allows lifeguards to get on the water fast.
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
