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 Red Paddle’s new MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, it’s much lighter yet even more rigid than ever before, reinforced with their 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.
Benefits.
Sustainability.
At Red, sustainability isn’t just marketing hype – it’s at the core of what they do. As a certified B Corp (www.bcorporation.net) they champion high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Fundamentally, their boards are designed and built to last. Their quality-assured Tec-Air process has a negligible warranty rate. Maximum longevity minimises their impact on the planet. Yet even durable Red kit will eventually reach end-of-life, hence their ‘design for disassembly’ approach. For example, all Titan pump components are replaceable, while using 100% recoverable virgin plastic in their fins, finboxes and RSS battens ensure they’re fully recyclable. Their manufacturing processes, like turning the offcuts from their EVA deckpads into keyrings, aim for zero waste too, reflecting their commitment to low-impact resource selection.
