RED 12.6 SPORT+ MSL
Looking for the perfect blend of speed and comfort? The longest board in our crossover range, the 12'6" Sport inflatable paddleboard is a touring design for confident paddlers. Its 30" width and sleek nose cut through water effortlessly, while the hard-release Speed Tail enhances control and glide.
The 12'6" length and floaty 330L of volume make it an excellent choice for longer routes and carrying more rider and/or kit weight. Equipped with three soft carry handles, a high-traction deckpad and adjustable cargo system, it’s as practical as it is performance-driven.
Built in Red’s exclusive MSL® technology, the 12'6" Sport is super-strong, stiff and robust, offering dynamic performance in a wide range of conditions. Combine that with our patented RSS batten system for unrivalled rigidity in its class. With a choice of paddles, our Titan II pump, coiled leash, touring fin, and All-Terrain Backpack, a 5-year warranty rounds off this progressive package.
CONSTRUCTION -
What is MSL®? Safe. Stiff. Durable.
Monocoque Structural Laminate or MSL® is the world’s leading drop-stitch material. Exclusive to Red Paddle Co boards, it’s made to our exact specifications.
Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer.
Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions.
Laminate: the reinforced composite coating is bonded to the textile core using machine welding that applies heat and pressure to the inner PVC layer, saving over 2kg of adhesives and reducing cosmetic and safety concerns. Produced under low tension, this process creates a torsional stiffening effect when the boards are inflated, making MSL® stiffer at lower pressures.

So the t-grip is fits the palm really well, the shaft has a lovely feel, just grippy enough, and the blade has lots of control through the water. It feels great at high or low cadence. Really happy with the purchase.
Recently bought the above product and I received quick first class service. The product was with me in few days even though I live at the other end of country. First class service from the team. Many thanks
