Red Paddle Co Elite 12.6ft Race Inflatable Paddle Board 2024
The 12'6" Elite MSL inflatable paddleboard is a pure racing machine, completely redesigned for ambitious paddlers who are hungry for competition. Well-balanced yet unapologetically built for speed, it’s narrow and fast, redefining what’s possible in the 12'6" fleets. Race-tuned for rapid acceleration, blistering pace, arrow-true tracking, and mark-rounding maneuverability.
At just 25" wide the 12'6" Elite speeds through the water with minimal resistance, its square-tailed plan shape extending volume into the rear for reliable stability – particularly around the turns. Built in our new ultra-light, super-stiff MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, reinforced with RSS battens, this race-winning shape weighs remarkably little but is amazingly stiff. (So stiff, in fact, that at this length no FFC rod is required.)
Reengineered EVA rail risers promote full-power paddling and effective foot steering while the central carry handle and forward side handles are perfectly positioned for portages and transitions. For training practicality it features adjustable bungees, a bottle holder, and M6 accessory mount.
Red Paddle Co Elite 14ft Race Inflatable Paddle Board 2024
An all-out thoroughbred race board, the fully redesigned 14'0" Elite inflatable paddleboard is our fastest, stiffest board. Built in new super-light, ultra-stiff MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material with RSS battens plus FFC nose-rod to lock in stiffness, it’s extraordinarily rigid yet weighs less than 10kg. A real contender in the 14'0" fleets – there’s simply no need to feel outgunned by a hardboard...
This versatile racer is truly competitive across all disciplines – from technical to long-distance, flat-water to downwinders to surf-racing. Long, drawn-out rails tapering to a rounded pintail ensure amazing glide and distance per stroke, while 26" of width marries high speed with full-power stability.
An intuitive variable traction deck pad and reworked rail risers provide a firm footing for confident paddling and effective foot steering. A perfectly balanced central handle and forward side handles for beach starts and transitions complete a performance-driven, race-winning machine – finished with adjustable flat bungees, a bottle holder, and M6 accessory mount for training practicality.
Sustainability
At Red, sustainability isn’t just marketing hype – it’s at the core of what we do. As a certified B Corp (www.bcorporation.net) we champion high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Fundamentally, our boards are designed and built to last. Our quality-assured Tec Air process has an extremely low warranty rate below 0.5%. Maximizing longevity minimizes our impact on the planet.
Yet even durable Red kit will eventually reach end-of-life, hence our ‘design for disassembly’ approach. For example, all Titan pump components are replaceable, while using 100% recoverable virgin plastic in our fins, fin boxes and RSS battens ensure they’re...
MSL is recognized as the industry’s leading construction process and is exclusive to Red Paddle Co. We are the only inflatable brand in the world that produces our boards in our own, private facility meaning no other board comes close.
Here’s why....
The difference is in the detail. By looking at all of the individual elements of drop stitch we have been able to develop a refined process to improve all aspects of board production.
WEIGHT-SAVING BUT STABLE
A SUPERB COSMETIC FINISH
ENHANCED DURABILITY
STIFF AT LOWER PRESSURES
Introducing a complete redesign of our bestselling inflatable SUP backpack. Highly engineered adjustable ergonomic support means that the ATB Bag now offers exceptional levels of support for your shoulders and back. Exterior straps mean that the bag can be compressed making it more comfortable and a pleasure to carry. It's now easier to pack away your paddle with an interior paddle blade pocket and a velcro securing system so your paddle is safe and secure while on the move. A large outer zip pocket means any essentials can be packed securely away and easily accessible.
Our revolutionary bag-less carry system has been designed with all paddleboarders in mind. For the adventurers, you can now go further and access more remote waterways without the need of a heavy bulky bag. Perfect for families, it's now easier, quicker and more convenient to pack up your kit after a long day at the beach.
The Titan II Pump is the world's first purpose-built, double chamber SUP pump. It's designed to cut the amount of time and effort it takes to inflate your board by half. Constant innovation has led to us testing the absolute boundaries of inflation technology and as such, we're confident that there's nothing quite like the Titan II pump on the market. The Dual Cylinder system, combined with the Hi Flo handle means you are in complete control of the energy used to inflate your board. It puts the volume into your board faster and reduces the effort required to reach a higher pressure.
This has been designed for flat water paddlers and racers who want to make sure they are not getting any excess drag from their leash being in the water. The leash features a interchangeable ankle or calf cuff with a quick release loop and integrated key pouch. It has a 7mm dual cord coiled leash which prevents the leash from dragging in the water plus dual pivot points to reduce twist. The leash is supplied with a length of rope so you can use with tradition leash points or can attach directly to our leash points which you can find at the back of any Red Paddle Co board.
US Box Fins originated in the surfing world where they are widely trusted to do a great job.
These fins are inserted after inflation and simply attach using a simple nut and bolt system. The fins are specially engineered to slice through the water and the Race fins have a 45% rake on them to ensure no weeds get caught which could slow you down.
