The Red Paddle Co Coolbag Backpack is a staple accessory that you’ll probably find you use every single paddle.

It’s the perfect size for your lunch, a few snacks, an extra layer… or two bottles of champagne on ice (tried and tested that one ourselves!)

It’s FULLY waterproof, so no chance of soggy sandwiches here, and it easily slides under your cargo straps on the nose of your board.

Being completely airtight means whether your food is hot or cold, it will last LONGER. In all seriousness, we have used this bag as an ice cooler for two bottles of champagne on our South Stradbroke Island SUP Expedition, and the ice didn’t melt all evening (even though the bag was opened very regularly to get the champagne!)

We know what it’s like carrying your board and everything down to the water’s edge when you’ve got your hands full. So being a backpack, this bag makes carrying your gear down to the water SO EASY. There are two side pouches ideal for a water bottle one side and a bottle of sunscreen on the other.

The liner is made of food grade BPA (so safe for those snacks that try to make an escape mid-paddle) and the backpack is made from an eco-conscious TPU (a type of plastic that is more environmentally friendly then PVC) with the main advantages being that it’s durable, recyclable and biodegradable in 3 – 5 years.
