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.
A generous 278L of volume, reconfigured for faster inflation, is plenty for heavier riders and load-carrying. Fully fitted with adjustable cargo system and three soft-touch handles for touring comfort, plus a variable traction deckpad for intuitive foot placement. The complete package includes all the top-quality Red essentials, backed with a 5-year warranty.

THE PUMP DETAILS:
The Titan 2 Pump is the world's first purpose-built, double chamber SUP pump. It's designed to cut the amount of time and effort it takes to inflate your board by half. Constant innovation has led to us testing the absolute boundaries of inflation technology and as such, we're confident that there's nothing quite like the Titan II pump on the market.
The Dual Cylinder system, combined with the Hi Flo handle means you are in complete control of the energy used to inflate your board. It puts the volume into your board faster and reduces the effort required to reach a higher pressure.
- Twin chamber technology easily cuts time and effort needed to inflate your board
- Pumps air out at 60 mph to ensure quick and powerful inflation
- Isolation cap allows switch to single pump when inflating to a high PSI reducing effort
- Designed for disassembly for easy maintenance and simple replacement of parts
- Pressure gauge on top shows an accurate reading of PSI whilst inflating
- Multi-use across different inflatables such as airbeds, boats and kites
THE BAG DETAILS:
Introducing a complete redesign of our bestselling inflatable SUP backpack. Highly engineered adjustable ergonomic support means that the ATB Bag now offers exceptional levels of support for your shoulders and back. Exterior straps mean that the bag can be compressed making it more comfortable and a pleasure to carry. It's now easier to pack away your paddle with an interior paddle blade pocket and a velcro securing system so your paddle is safe and secure while on the move. A large outer zip pocket means any essentials can be packed securely away and easily accessible.
Our revolutionary bag-less carry system has been designed with all paddleboarders in mind. For the adventurers, you can now go further and access more remote waterways without the need for a heavy bulky bag. Perfect for families, it's now easier, quicker and more convenient to pack up your kit after a long day at the beach.
- Highly engineered and adjustable ergonomic support for your shoulders and back.
- Fully customisable to your height ensures that the bag will take care of your body under load.
- Exterior compression straps to make bag more comfortable and compact.
- Interior paddle blade pocket and velcro securing system for paddle pieces.
- Lockable zippers with rubber pull tabs.
- Bagless carry system - pump and straps can easily be taken on the water removing risk of leaving equipment
MSL®800: Superlight Stiffness
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.
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.
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.
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.
