The Red Paddle Co 12’6″ x 28″ Sport Plus is part of the Future Series range, designed for paddlers seeking efficiency, speed, and control for longer distances or advanced paddling experiences. Ideal for riders up to 90 kg (242 lbs), this board is built with MSL 800 construction, reducing its weight to under 9 kg (19.5 lbs), making it lightweight and highly portable for various adventures.
With a thickness of just 4.7 inches, the board ensures a low center of gravity, making it easier to climb back on and more stable in side winds, offering a connected paddling experience. The patented RSS stiffening system adds rigidity, providing exceptional stability and control over long distances.
Measuring 28 inches wide, the board strikes a balance between speed and stability, allowing confident paddling in windy or choppy conditions. The tapered shape reduces volume and drag toward the tail, complemented by a speed tail release edge that helps water flow off smoothly. This design minimizes drag, reduces fatigue, and enhances acceleration over longer distances.
Key features include grab handles at the nose and tail for easy carrying, an M6 accessories mount for cameras or trackers, and a three-flat bungee system for securing essential gear. A smaller storage compartment is available for water bottles or footwear, useful for point-to-point paddles. The clean EVA deck pad ensures smooth transitions from the central standing area to the tail, supporting advanced maneuvers like step-back turns in racing or surf environments. A comfortable padded grab handle at the center makes carrying the board over longer distances easy.
The 12’6″ Sport+ is a high-performance touring board, offering speed, efficiency, and control to elevate your paddling experience.
