“This bag is a winner for both daytripping and longer distance touring on your paddleboard. It is a lot easier to dip into that a regular dry bag, and less windage that most of those. The side pouches are great for a water bottle or two and the bungee section on the top holds anything like a waterproof jacket or hat. It can be rigged in all four corners with an adjustable clip-in system, but you can also put the boards bungees over to hold it even more securely; luckily the plastic insert helps it retain it's shape if you do so. The zip is waterproof and the only tricky bit is fastening the zip fully around the corner but once you learn how to do that you're sorted. It's a great thing to have strapped to your deck.”

“Even a biiiiit expensive in my opinion, when you use it, you say "price does not matter". It's so lightweight, so sophisticated in terms of the volume and really a great accessory. I love the front mesh, and with a waterproof BT speaker, you also have sound ;) All in all, you can carry the essentials and a bit more, so you really can go further.”

“As a day job I spend a lot of time driving a RIB. This bag has been thrown about at 30 knots hours on end, but today I zust actually it fits perfectly in this spot.... I have two clips which is hangs off. It is great as the two drinks bottle holders are easy to get to. The compartment on the top makes things easy for a notebook and pen. But whatever I throw at it -at 30 knots- the bag just shrugs it off like water off a ducks back. No more roll top, can't stow dry bags for me! This weekend I hope to get some time on my paddle board then I will give it a go for what is is designed for. Eventually I will have a day off and take myself on an expedition!!”

“This bag is a fantastic bit of kit. It opens up a session of paddle board to more than just a limited amount of time on the water. It has enough space to take out food, shoes, camera and more. Essentially mean that you can go out and stop and go and the. Climb/ walk have lunch and then carry on. It opens up the sport to a complete day on the water without have to go back to your base camp or car. Also as it attaches to the board also allows you to still paddle without any restrictions. It is now a must in all of our adventures. Well done red paddle. This kit has changed the game.”

“Heading off on short trips I like to pack some gear like a snack, drink, spare clothes & beach towel. The new Red Original Deck Bag is stylish, practical & keeps my kit nice & dry. It's durability & quality are outstanding & it's easy to secure it to my 11'0 Sport with the luggage tensioning system. It's got some great features too, like external bungees & D rings to easily connect more kit...especially useful for stuff you want to get access to quickly whilst out paddling without opening the main bag. I can also easily grab my drinks bottle as the deck bag has two external pockets. I love this bit of kit and can highly recommend it. I've recently travelled with it & it doubled as my carry on bag on the flight. A must have for any paddle trip, I wouldn't go without it.”

“Cleverly designed to cater for all needs on a day's paddle. 2 good sized drink pockets which comfortably hold 1ltr bottles and is great for flask in cooler weather. Size of main compartment is good to hold change of clothes, towel and food etc and internal skeleton holds its shape so nothing gets crushed. Top mesh pocket is mega for easy access for items needed whilst boarding, e.g. mobile (inside dry bag) for tracking, cap, suncream etc. Very lightweight and material easy clean - I slipped on mud banks and mud wiped off really easily without leaving marks/water marks. Completely waterproof even through some typical English bank holiday weather. Really pleased with this bag, quality product, really well thought out and everything just works! Would highly recommend.”

“It's about time someone made some paddleboard specific products. I have to say Red Original have nailed it with this deck bag! Consideration has been given to every fearure...and it shows. The flip down front access works really well on and off the water, the zip up netting facing you is a great touch (perfect for my shades). Bottle holders are a good size, nice to have 2, one for my flask of coffee and one for water...perfect. Although I didn't have any use for the bungee and hook on points on my first outing I know that they'll be valuable on future adventures. The size is great, I was only out for the day and had the usual food, drink, towel, change of clothes (just in case...turned out i needed them on this occation) but found I still had plenty of room so would be perfect for longer adventures yet not overwhelming for a day trip. I have to admit to being a bit curious about the performance of the zip. It was one of the first things I looked at when fresh out of the box. Turns out there was nothing to worry about, it's nothing short of amazing! After zipping up the bag I gave it a good squeeze and sure enough...no escaping air...a good sign, and it held up on the water too, even after having a dunk in some white(ish) water. Happy to report that the LTS System also held up admirably during my brief swim. All in all, simply outstanding quality, well thought out product! Well done Red Original!”
