Red Paddle Co Elite 12'6 x 25" x 5.9 Raceboard - 2024

Red Paddle Co 12'6 Elite Race Paddleboard 2024

Who's it for? Experience long distance paddling like never before.

At just 25" wide the 12'6" Elite speeds through the water with minimal resistance, its square-tailed planshape extending volume into the rear for reliable stability – particularly around the turns. Built in our new ultra-light, super-stiff MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, reinforced with RSS battens, this race-winning shape weighs remarkably little but is amazingly stiff. (So stiff, in fact, that at this length no FFC rod is required.)

Reengineered EVA rail risers promote full-power paddling and effective footsteering while the central carry handle and forward side handles are perfectly positioned for portages and transitions. For training practicality it features adjustable bungees, a bottle holder, and M6 accessory mount.

(Optional) - ATB Transformer bag: Introducing a total redesign of the Red Paddle Co all terrain backpack that offers a bagless carry system. This skeleton system means you can access more remote waterways without the need for a bulky bag and just take the straps and your pump. When using the bag, the large all terrain wheels make handling rugged terrain a breeze and considered anthropometric design is able to be fully customised to your height so you can take maximum care of your body while under load. Large exterior pockets can fit any quick to grab essentials and a velcro interior pocket means your paddle blade is safe and secure. The interior material has a stylish Red repeater pattern and its water resistance will minimise any intrusive damp. Additional internal storage for small items and keeping your service kit on hand.

(Optional) - The Paddle: Red Paddle Co paddles have just got a facelift, Not only are the colour of the new paddle coded to the Blue and Special edition Purple boards, but they have also had a design change, The paddles are now easier to put together with the blade and middle shaft of the paddle attached by string, making sure even the newest paddler on the water find putting their kit together .. child's play!

Touring fin: The US box fins are slotted in easily by hand and tightened with a finger bolt, so no tools are required. The US finbox system originated in the surfing world and is renowned for its strength and reliability.

Timeless design: The Red Paddle Co iconic design has been updated with a more streamlined look and feel. The extended Red embossed deck pad now reaches right down to the tail, wraps closer to the rails, and offers superior comfort and grip. The diamond-cut rear provides extra stability for performing step back turns, or for riding in bigger waves.

(Optional) Titan II pump! Included with all of our SUP packages, Our newly refined industry-leading Titan II pump takes you from neatly packed to fully-inflated in half the time, with half the effort. See what’s new about the Titan II pump here. 

RSS system: Red Paddle Co boards boast patented RSS system for maximum rigidity. For 2022 these RSS battens are made from recycled material with the side pockets being re-engineered to allow easier insertion. The RSS system allows for 40% more rigidity in the central area of the board limiting flex and creating higher stability.

Cushioned Carry Handles:  Ergonomic tubular handles on all boards to give a cushioned, comfy grip when carrying your board. 

Mount: Every Red Paddle Co SUP board comes with a special fixing that is compatible with world-leading Ram Mounts products, plus Railblaza, enabling you to securely attach a range of accessories, from GPS devices and cameras to fishing rods.
