Description.

Designed for experienced paddlers looking to get into SUP racing, or keen to inject some full-on speed into their adventures, the 12'6" Elite inflatable paddleboard is a fast yet agile raceboard. Bridging the gap between high-performance recreational paddling and competitive racing, its 28" wide, streamlined design promotes glide through water while maintaining control for turns, more challenging conditions and/or larger riders.

On top of robust, super-rigid MSL® construction, the 12'6" Elite incorporates our patented Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) and groundbreaking Forward Flex Control (FFC) to maximise stiffness. Underfoot, a high-grip deckpad offers control while reengineered raised rail bumpers promote a...

Designed for experienced paddlers looking to get into SUP racing, or keen to inject some full-on speed into their adventures, the 12'6" Elite inflatable paddleboard is a fast yet agile raceboard. Bridging the gap between high-performance recreational paddling and competitive racing, its 28" wide, streamlined design promotes glide through water while maintaining control for turns, more challenging conditions and/or larger riders.

On top of robust, super-rigid MSL® construction, the 12'6" Elite incorporates our patented Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) and groundbreaking Forward Flex Control (FFC) to maximise stiffness. Underfoot, a high-grip deckpad offers control while reengineered raised rail bumpers promote a more secure footing, enabling efficient power transfer into each stroke and aiding footsteering.

Shaped for the 12'6" raceboard class, the Elite is a perfect entry-level racer – fast, yet easy to turn and reassuringly stable on even the choppiest of courses. Plus, it can be conveniently packed down into the All-Terrain Backpack for transportation and storage.

Benefits.

  • High-performance: for experienced paddlers wanting more speed. 
  • Efficient: streamlined raceboard design offers more glide per stroke. 
  • Race-ready: quick yet well-balanced at 28" wide. 
  • Competitive: designed for 12'6" race classes – fast, manoeuvrable and stable for both technical and distance racing. 
  • Robust: MSL® construction easily withstands the inevitable bumps and scrapes of racing and training. 
  • Ultra-rigid: reinforced by RSS battens and FFC system for unmatched stiffness. 
  • Sure-footed: high-grip deckpad aids footwork while raised rail bumpers help footsteering. Portable: packs down into All-Terrain Backpack for convenient storage and transportation.

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%. Maximising longevity minimises 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, finboxes and RSS battens ensure they’re...

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, finboxes and RSS battens ensure they’re fully recyclable. 

Our manufacturing processes, like turning the offcuts from our EVA deckpads into keyrings, aim for zero waste too, reflecting our commitment to low-impact resource selection.

How to store your board 

Before storing, rinse all equipment in fresh water and let it dry completely. 

To pack away, lay the deflated board deck-up and place the pump across the nose, leaving enough room to wrap the board over. Roll tightly, then secure with the strap. Use the backpack’s internal strap to secure the board inside. 

Store your board in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If keeping it rolled up, avoid excess pressure on the straps. If space allows, it’s best to store the pump separately. 

You can also leave your board inflated, ideally kept on a flat surface...

Store your board in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If keeping it rolled up, avoid excess pressure on the straps. If space allows, it’s best to store the pump separately. 

You can also leave your board inflated, ideally kept on a flat surface or upright – but do reduce the board’s pressure to below 15psi if not in use for a while.

What is MSL®? Safe. Stiff. Durable. 

Monocoque Structural Laminate or MSL® is the world’s leading drop-stitch material. Exclusive to Red Paddle Co boards, it’s made to our exact specifications. 

Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer. 

Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions.

Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer. 

Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions. 

Laminate: the reinforced composite coating is bonded to the textile core using machine welding that applies heat and pressure to the inner PVC layer, saving over 2kg of adhesives and reducing cosmetic and safety concerns. Produced under low tension, this process creates a torsional stiffening effect when the boards are inflated, making MSL® stiffer at lower pressures.
