We compare the Red Paddle Co Sport inflatable paddle boards
In this article, we compare each of the Red Paddle Co Sport inflatable stand up paddle boards. The Red Paddle Co Sport inflatable SUP boards are designed for the slightly more experienced paddler. Reduced width and a sleek, drawn-out nose section mean these boards cut through the water cleanly, allowing you to paddle further and faster. They deliver even more speed and dynamic performance with the speed tail. Dripping with style and speed, these boards will go faster and further than you thought possible.

The 2022 Red Paddle Co 11′ Sport offers a step up in performance from the Ride family and has been designed for the more experienced paddler up to 200lbs to deliver more speed and dynamic characteristics. Their secret lies in their shape. The 11′ and 12’6″ Sports are narrower than a Ride, so they cut through the water more cleanly, and the drawn-out nose section gives them more glide across the water. See also the new purple 11′ Sport Special Edition.
The 11′ Sport is a great board for lighter paddlers who want a sleeker board to glide across bays, lakes, up and down rivers and surfing small waves. It’s the perfect comfortable cruiser! Read our review of the 2016 11′ Sport.

The 2022 Red Paddle Co 12’6″ Sport offers the ability to go on longer trips and is the perfect board for a rider who is a bit too heavy for the 11′ Sport and wants something a little sleeker and faster than the new 11’3″ Sport. The updated RSS battens continue to make the board super stiff underfoot meaning you are able to tackle choppy water as well.
The Sports have been designed for a slightly more experienced paddler in mind offering a step up in speed and dynamic performance from the Ride family. The shape allows the Sport to cut through the water which is matched by incredible glide, thanks to the drawn out nose. Read our review of the 2016 model.
