14'0" Elite MSL Inflatable Paddle Board

Lightning performance for longer boards. At 800g/m2 lighter than our ‘standard’ MSL®, MSL®800 utilises a super-fine inner weave to increase stiffness and reduce weight for a lighter, faster, more responsive ride on advanced paddling shapes. 

Stiffness: A super-fine surface weave and reconfigured double-drop-stitch increase rigidity for more speed and agility. 

Durability: Retains the same rock-solid MSL® signature coating for reliable strength and longevity. 

Weight: At 800g/m2 lighter than MSL®, MSL®800 saves up to 2kg on 14' shapes for improved performance on longer boards.

Packability: A high-definition weave allows for a tighter roll and reduces weight, so it’s easier to take everything you need on your next adventure. 

Red Paddle Co is the only inflatable SUP brand that makes boards in its own private facility, using innovative materials and manufacturing methods to produce quality kit you won’t find elsewhere. The Tec Air process is how we refine and develop our boards. 

We’ve taken standard inflatable technology and reworked almost every aspect of it. By pinpointing key areas, we’ve identified improvements – from the precise bonding of layers to the application of optimum rocker curve, triple-taped reinforced rails to our exclusive MSL® drop-stitch material, no element is overlooked. 

Before going into production our designs undergo rigorous research and testing. (We’ve even run tractors and a 22.5-tonne digger over them – they were fine!) Then manufacturing each board takes 72 hours: that’s ten times the industry average. Unlike most other paddleboard companies, we never compromise on quality. It’s this unique Tec Air process that sets us apart.

Unique to Red Paddle Co, you won’t find our patented Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) on any other brand’s boards. RSS increases stiffness by up to 30% – which, combined with our super-solid MSL® construction at air pressures of 20psi+, makes Red inflatable paddleboards supremely rigid.

RSS battens are ultra-tough polycarbonate strips that slide into pockets in the rails as the board takes shape during early inflation. They reinforce the middle of the board, directly beneath where you stand. The system features on our Elite, Voyager and Sport ranges, plus 8'10" and 12'0" Compacts.

Essential to our high-performance ranges, RSS technology is particularly important for faster, more efficient paddling, heavier riders or choppier conditions, providing that hardboard feel. The battens are shaped for optimum stiffness and fit perfectly into their pockets, which are constructed separately before being laminated onto the boards.

As an inflatable paddleboard company, we’ve long realised how important it is to blow-up our boards as easily as possible. That’s why we developed the original Titan pump – it was a real game-changer, halving the time it took to pump up... 

Since then, our commitment to constant innovation has seen us push the boundaries of inflation technology. That’s why we’re so confident that our reimagined Titan II is the best pump on the market. Quite simply, it puts air into your board faster and reaches a higher pressure with less effort. 

The double-chamber Titan II has a bayonet fitting at both ends of the hose, attached directly to the airbox to reduce leaks and so it doesn’t thrash about in use. Folding feet and a removable quick-release handle reduce the size by 30% when you’re finished, making it more packable and portable.

Our patented Forward Flex Control (FFC) is a revolutionary system designed to make Red Paddle Co’s 12'6" and 14'0" Elites the stiffest inflatables on the market, ensuring a competitive edge. FFC works by preventing the nose of our iSUP raceboards from flexing, making the whole front half of the paddleboard virtually rigid. 

When paired with our RSS battens on 20psi+ inflated boards, the results are seriously impressive. Reducing flex enhances power delivery and glide per stroke, boosting overall performance, efficiency and speed – most obvious during sprinting and other high-power phases or in choppier conditions, when Elites feel more like hardboards than iSUPs. 

The FFC system consists of a two-part carbon rod that’s inserted into mounting points on the nose after fully inflating the board. The rod locks into an EVA deck-base in the standing area and is put under load with a tension lever. This stabilises the board’s front section, practically eliminating nose flex.
