The 12'6" Sport+ is a streamlined crossover tourer for lightweight speed, glide and efficiency. This sleek design offers progressive performance for smaller or more ambitious paddlers wanting a fast, responsive board.

The narrow, tapered nose and slender 28" outline cut effortlessly through the water, delivering smooth glide and direct tracking, with a hard-release Speed Tail to reduce drag. Just 4.7" thick for a well-balanced, connected ride, its advanced MSL®800 construction is incredibly light and super-stiff, further reinforced by RSS battens. Ideal for coastal or inland touring and covering longer routes, the square tail and volume distribution provide reassuring stability for total confidence in choppy conditions.

The grippy embossed deckpad and ergonomic carry handle enhance comfort, while an adjustable six-point cargo bungee system keeps gear secure on the nose – plus twin D-rings on the tail for extras. A nimble crossover tourer, the 12'6" Sport+ is ideal for lightweights and aspirational paddlers.

The lightweight crossover tourer – a fast and efficient shape for smaller paddlers.

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. 

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.

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.

This board glides

I didn't come to my decision to buy the 12'6" sport+ easily. I kept going back and fourth between this board and others out there. I currently have several inflatables and a hard bard. I love the portability aspect of inflatables but admittedly I've never found them as fun as my hardboard due to the glide. Happy to say my new sport + glides beautifully on the water. Kate from customer service was super helpful in pointing me in the right direction as to which board I should get. The 4.7 inch thickness of the board does indeed give you a more connected feel to the water. And the shape of this board...it's super sleek. But I don't feel unstable at all. The shape just really makes it cut through the water with ease.

Normally when I paddle an inflatable I do a stroke and then just stop shortly after the stroke. But on this board I keep gliding...more like a hard board. I would imagine the thin shape of the board is what makes it cut through the water so easily. There's so little water resistance. Which means I can paddle for a very long time without getting tired. Great for long adventures. I generally use it for exercise. I find I can paddle harder and faster with less impact on my body.

Highly recommend this board if you want something that fast, and efficient. So far I'm loving this board!

12’ 6” sport + future series

Had my 10’ 6” ride for a couple of years now and my paddle boarding has improved to a standard that has made me confident enough to enter the race to the castle 2026. Looked around and tried some 12’ 6” boards out but after trying the future series at A S water sports in Exeter I purchased one with the ultimate carbon paddle. Absolutely beautiful board, more stable than I expected, hit the water and just felt right. Tracking and glide excellent and not as much effort to cover more distance than my 10’ 6” ride.

I would also recommend the ultimate carbon paddle, extremely light after using it and then swapping to my old paddle with my Granddaughter the difference was so noticeable, even my Granddaughter commented on how the ultimate carbon paddle felt and performed. Had a slight problem with the Titan 2 pump as it was damaged on arrival but Katie from Red Paddle Co was very helpful sent me return postage and then sent out a replacement. If you are thinking about purchasing this board I would recommend it well worth the investment.

You’re only a few days in but the quality and rigidity of these boards is notable… They are light and quick but probably not for beginners
