Description

The 12'6″ Sport MSL is the longest board in our Sport range. Its extra volume and waterline length makes it a fast touring board, capable of carrying more rider and equipment weight than our other Sport boards.

As one of the first inflatable paddle board companies, we've been developing boards and materials for over 14 years. This has led to the development of our exclusive MSL material made from specially produced, high density drop stitch that gives a stronger and stiffer core. This MSL technology allows us to make boards that offer best in class stiffness, control and handling.

Increasing speed per stroke through a unique hard release edge on the tail of the board, the speed tail combined with narrow nose contributes to the directional control and hull speed. Also fitted with the US fin box system ,the 12'6" Sport MSL has excellent tracking and uses the most popular fin system in the water sports industry, for easy fitting or replacement when needed.

Virtually Indestructible

We build things to last and are confident your board will live to stand the test of time. So confident we are we ran a 22 tonne digger over one of our boards and it lived to tell the tale.

High Spec

Every element has been painstakingly designed and developed to ensure there is no compromise in performance.

Customisable Packages

We offer a range of package options so you only need to get what you actually need.

Adventure Ready

Every board comes with an industry leading bag that has been engineered just as meticulously as our boards allowing you to explore your world.

SPEED TAIL: Drop The Hammer

The innovative Speed Tail enhances glide and manoeuvrability for our Sport range and 12'0" and 13'2" Voyagers. This sharp trailing edge creates a distinct hard-release from the water, reducing the drag that can afflict square-tailed inflatables. 

The colour-matched, rubberised Speed Tail produces a clean water release. Improved hydrodynamics at the tail are designed to make paddling smoother and faster. As well as enhancing speed and overall glide, the Speed Tail also offers improved manoeuvrability for a superior, more responsive ride. This means more control in all water states, improving confidence in tricky conditions.

RSS: Stiffening Up

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.

TITAN II: Less Time Pumping, More Time Paddling

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.

Tec Air: Pioneering Paddle Board Design

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.

great board, but not perfect

Generally very happy with the product, especially the pump - it's outstanding.

Improvements I'd like.to see would be:

- Handles front of center on each side of the board. Makes for easier carrying when loaded, when removing from the roof rack and especially removal from the water.

- A thinner, cordlike strap/lashing system. The stock cross-board, wider style straps are less user friendly.

High quality product, thank you Red!

Even great for tricks

I love this board so much. My canoeing buddies told me that it looked like I was glued to the board. The REDREDRED tread is the reason. It's narrow, but not tippy. Also, running rivers in early summer when the water level is a bit too low was a breeze. Walking up, walking back depending on what's happening from shallow bits to white water, you can make quick adjustments, even swinging the board in 360s for fun. This is so worth the price--especially if you get a couple of fin options, from stubs to longs. Plus the colours and style make this the sup version of a sneakerhead's dream shoe

12’6” Sport MSL

This is my third Red inflatable SUP and the product continues to surprise with its quality, utility and overall “fun value”. I am competitive paddle and bought this board to complement my 10’ Surfer and 12’6” Voyager. I took it for its test ride on Ullswater in flat conditions and I am very happy with the performance. Inflated well under 10 minutes, it held its line, glided very nicely and was easy to make it run at a decent stroke-rate. I had my 45 lb border collie on the front without much of a change in handling or glide. The shape is decidedly more “dagger” like than the Voyager and it runs differently as a result, less like a Land Rover Discovery and more like a Porsche Cayenne. I feel it would be easy to take gear for a 1-2 nighter light expedition, perhaps even with the dog.

Excellent first board for the heavier crew.

This is my first SUP and I have had it twelve months now. It has had a lot of use on canals, sea and rivers in all weather conditions except ice! At 98Kgs I am a heavier paddler and I sought advice from Red. The 12'6 is an incredible board, very buoyant and fairly quick. I love the pump and the build quality although the stainless fittings need regular oiling to prevent them rusting, in the screw threads particularly.

I use a deck bag and carry a weight of gear but always find the board comfortable and easy to manage. I have a few third party fins and an additional one piece paddle but the three piece paddle still gets regular use.
