The 12'6" Elite MSL 800 inflatable paddleboard is a pure racing machine, completely redesigned for ambitious paddlers who are hungry for competition. Well-balanced yet unapologetically built for speed, it’s narrow and fast, redefining what’s possible in the 12'6" fleets. Race-tuned for rapid acceleration, blistering pace, arrow-true tracking, and mark-rounding manoeuvrability.
At just 25" wide the 12'6" Elite speeds through the water with minimal resistance, its square-tailed planshape extending volume into the rear for reliable stability – particularly around the turns. Built in our new ultra-light, super-stiff MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, reinforced with RSS battens, this race-winning shape weighs remarkably little but is amazingly stiff. (So stiff, in fact, that at this length no FFC rod is required.)
Reengineered EVA rail risers promote full-power paddling and effective footsteering while the central carry handle and forward side handles are perfectly positioned for portages and transitions. For training practicality it features adjustable bungees, a bottle holder, and M6 accessory mount.





Thoughtfully designed, technically superior
Feature set
Feature set

Board Profile 01
New board profile and new drop stitch material MSL®800 offers increased rigidity and reduced weight by up to 2KG. Due to the new material properties, we have been able to remove the FFC system from the 12’6"

Fin 02
The glass fibre centre fin supplied-as-standard gives the right amount of grip without adding drag, whilst the angled design prevents any debris from getting stuck on the fin.

Carry Handles 03
Central and the forward positioned handles, ideal for standing race starts. Optimal placement for race-start launching.

Smalls Loop 04
Smalls loop ideal for water bottle and flip flop storage.

Rail Risers 05
Rail foot holds allow the rider to dig their feet into the board. This will give a rounded stance meaning more energy can be channelled into each paddle stroke.

Centre Handle 06
Soft-touch tubular centre carry handle with embroidered logo on balance point for easier carrying.

RSS: Patented Innovation 07
The Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) utilises two external pure plastic battens designed to give specialist boards up to 40% more stiffness.

Deck Pad 08
Super grippy ‘Red’ embossed EVA deck pad. Multi-colour and multi-texture aids user board positioning and prevents the deck from becoming slippery.

Kick Pad 09
Raised kick pad for assisted grip when manoeuvring.
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.

Red Racing 12’-6” Elite great for smoother waters not for me in the tippy ocean.
This is a beautifully designed board but I found it difficult to control turning wise in open ocean,choppy waters . I am an intermediate paddler / expert skier which I thought would help me but no. I could get around but it was a lot of work especially leg power unless it was calm. I had my friend an expert hard board paddler try the board and she felt the same way. I also found on land while carrying it the wind would catch the board at 12’-6” and was hard to hang onto at times. I am only 135 lbs. 5’-4”. I think I’d you live on the water and it is no big deal to get this board in the water and have good conditions this board will be wonderful . On a smooth lake it was heaven. I tried my friends red paddle sport, it was like a tank in comparison.
Cheers Doris
