Get ready to shred some serious water on this gnarly board.  The Retro Rider uses a pallet that was inspired from a very famous TV show and a local Calgary beer company.  The Retro Rider uses a retro blue as its base, with red and yellow side rails, complemented with red d-ring accents and an EVA pad bursting with color.  The Retro Rider is a serious head turner and if you want to be the envy of your friends at the beach, be sure to pick one up!

As with all Newell Outdoor paddle boards, the boards come in one complete set that have everything you need to get out on the water and own the outdoors.  Newell's boards are well suited for lakes, rivers and even the ocean thanks to their best-in-class stability and speed; both well suited for the beginner to intermediate paddle boarders.  For those of you wanting to change things up a bit – don’t worry, we have you covered.  Each board ships with a kayak seat that easily attaches to convert your paddle board to a kayak.  Sweet right?  We thought so too.

Purpose built, functional and well thought out are some of the adjectives that have been used to describe our boards and we didn’t disappoint this year either!  We built on that.  Staying with our double-layered military grade PVC, we added a front carrying handle to the boards to make carrying them down to the water with your friend that much easier.  After all, what are friends for right?

This year, we totally re-designed our backpacks to make them way more functional, way more spacious and much more comfortable on your shoulders.  We also beefed up our center fin just a little bit more but not too much to take way from the amazing handling and stability characteristics you have come to love.
