Red Paddle Co. Hits The Water with Backbone Media

June 23, 2016

VANCOUVER (June 23, 2016) – Red Paddle Co. North America., the United Kingdom-based maker of high performance, inflatable stand-up paddleboards, has selected Backbone Media to lead its North American public relations outreach program.

“As Red Paddle Co. continues to grow and expand, we really want to build awareness across all different consumer demographics,” says John Hibbard, head of brand for Red Paddle Co. “Backbone Media caught our eye because of their strong track record in the outdoor space, and we are confident that they will be the ideal partner to help us expand our reach. We’re excited to get floating.”

With a background in professional watersports competition, the Red Paddle Co. founders sought to create a board accessible to all levels of SUP-ers that could also be taken anywhere, without compromising the paddling experience. Officially founded in 2008, Red Paddle Co., was one of the first companies to bring a high quality, portable, durable and accessible inflatable stand-up paddleboard to market that all types of paddlers would love. Each board is inflatable, yet still has the rigidity necessary for high performance and can be taken on-the-go.

“Over the past five years we’ve really seen stand up paddleboarding take off in the outdoor community,” says Nate Simmons, partner at Backbone Media. “Red Paddle Co., delivers a market-leading product and we look forward to introducing it to editors on some of the nation’s finest lakes and rivers.”
