Description.

Combining speed with stability for progressive paddlers and longer routes, the redesigned 12'6" Sport+ inflatable paddleboard is a capable cruiser and crossover tourer. Performance-driven yet playful and practical, the 30" wide planshape promotes glide, with a hard-release Speed Tail and sleek nose that efficiently cuts through the water.

Offering exceptional stability, particularly in chop, at just 4.7" thick the 12'6" Sport+ sits low to the water to maximise balance and minimise windage. Constructed in our new MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, it’s much lighter yet even more rigid than ever before, reinforced with our patented Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) battens.

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...

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.

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.

Best Board Ive owned

This is my first Red Board but my 4th board purchase. What a difference a different shape board can make to your paddle. I fractured my ankle in October 2023 and have struggled to carry my board since. Having had a 9 week break in paddling I had lost a lot of strength. I then tore my hip tendon so paddling had become hard work and I was very sore after every paddle and needed help to get my board to the waters edge. In April, I paddled the Head of the Dart and had the opportunity to speak to the Red guys at the event. I was curious about the weight of the new MSL+ and loved how light it felt. I decided after my spring holiday I would purchase. It arrived on 24/05/2024 and I went for a paddle straight away. Its definitely a lot twitcher than I am used to, but to be able to pick it up with ease has made such a difference. I went for a 4 hour paddle last weekend and had 4 portages. I had no issues lifting it out of the river and carrying it to the otherside of each locke. This board glides in the water. My old board would stop as soon as I stopped paddling. It's early days with this board as I have only used it 3 times so far but each time has made me smile as I can keep up with my fellow paddlers. I was not sore after using it either. One thing that really shocked me was the carry handle. Such great quality that it is much sturdier than what I have been used to. I'm out for my social tonight so I am very excited about getting on the water again.

Lovely board which I will have great adventures on.

I was unsure which board to get to upgrade from the one that I was using so I gave Red a call . After chatting to the extremely helpful female member of staff I decided on this board after her advice. I’m so pleased I did as it’s light weight so easy for me to carry inflated the 5 minute walk from my home to the river. It’s very smooth on the water and I can go further with less effort . I took it to the Lake District last week and paddled on lots of the Lakes there too . Do not hesitate to contact Red for advice and I highly recommend this board . I am in my 50’s, 160cm tall and weigh around 63kg and I can carry it inflated easily and comfortably
