Red Shark Bikes Tandem Kit — Overview
The Red Shark Bikes Tandem Kit is the connector kit that links two complete Bike Surf units side by side into a catamaran-style tandem waterbike. Two connecting bars and two buckles join the boards rigidly, so two riders can pedal in parallel — ideal for couples, parent-child sessions and group outings. Two boards are NOT included — this kit assumes you already own two Bike Surf sets.
The Tandem Kit fits into the Red Shark 6-in-1 modular concept: one platform, many use cases. Explore the full Red Shark Bikes collection for the other kits.
Catamaran-Style Side-by-Side Layout
Unlike the Kayak Kit (two riders on one board), the Tandem Kit joins two separate Bike Surfs into a catamaran configuration — each rider has their own frame, drive and seat, and both pedal in parallel.
Connecting Bars + Buckles
Two aluminium connecting bars and two buckles lock the two boards together at a rigid distance, so the catamaran tracks straight and remains stable.
Quick Setup
The kit assembles in a few minutes. Both Bike Surfs keep their full functionality — detach the connectors and each board can be ridden solo again.
European Quality Build
Like the rest of the Red Shark range, the Tandem Kit is built in Spain to European quality standards — saltwater-rated materials and durable hardware.

Who is the Catamaran-Style Tandem Connector for?
The Tandem Kit is built for households or groups that already own two Bike Surf units and want to ride them together:
- Couples or families with two Bike Surfs who want to ride side by side and chat or share the experience
- Parent-and-child outings where the parent wants to ride alongside a less experienced child without being on a separate boat
- Yacht and resort owners with a fleet of Bike Surfs who want to offer tandem catamaran rides
- Photographers and content creators who want a stable platform for two people to ride and film together
Riders with only one Bike Surf board who want two-rider use should instead choose the Kayak Kit (2 seated paddlers on one board).
FAQ — Compatibility, Setup & Use
Do I need one or two Bike Surf boards for the Tandem Kit?
Two. The Tandem Kit joins two complete Bike Surf units side by side. If you only own one board and want a two-rider setup on that single board, choose the Kayak Kit instead.
Which Red Shark models can be connected with the Tandem Kit?
All Bike Surf variants (Enjoy, Fitness, Adventure) and the Scooter Surf. The kit connects any combination.
Can I mix two different Bike Surf models (e.g. Enjoy + Fitness)?
Yes — the connecting bars fit any combination of Bike Surf variants and the Scooter Surf, because they all share the same modular board.
How long does the setup take?
A few minutes per session. The two connecting bars slot into mounting points on both boards and lock with buckles.
Is the connection rigid?
Yes — the catamaran configuration tracks straight and feels stable. The two aluminium bars keep the boards at a fixed distance and prevent twist.
Can I still pedal independently?
Yes. Each rider pedals their own Bike Surf, just like riding solo — the connector just keeps the two boards together. Speeds and effort can differ between riders.
Can I detach the connection mid-ride?
The buckles allow tool-free disconnection — typically done at the beach or dock rather than on the water.
Can I use the Tandem Kit in salt water?
Yes. The aluminium bars and buckles are saltwater-rated. Rinse with fresh water after each session and let everything dry before storage.
How do I transport and store the Tandem Kit?
The two bars and buckles pack compactly and add almost no volume — they travel in the same transport bag as one of the Bike Surfs.
Is the catamaran setup stable enough for beginners?
Yes — connecting two wide drop-stitch boards makes the catamaran extremely stable and almost impossible to tip. Ideal for beginner partners or kids.
Can I add the Scooter Kit electric drive to a Tandem catamaran?
Yes — either or both of the connected boards can run the Scooter Kit electric drive. You can mix pedal and electric riders in the same catamaran.
