The 12'6" Sport+ is a streamlined crossover tourer for lightweight speed, glide and efficiency. This sleek design offers progressive performance for smaller or more ambitious paddlers wanting a fast, responsive board.
The narrow, tapered nose and slender 28" outline cut effortlessly through the water, delivering smooth glide and direct tracking, with a hard-release Speed Tail to reduce drag. Just 4.7" thick for a well-balanced, connected ride, its advanced MSL®800 construction is incredibly light and super-stiff, further reinforced by RSS battens. Ideal for coastal or inland touring and covering longer routes, the square tail and volume distribution provide reassuring stability for total confidence in choppy conditions.
The grippy embossed deckpad and ergonomic carry handle enhance comfort, while an adjustable six-point cargo bungee system keeps gear secure on the nose – plus twin D-rings on the tail for extras. A nimble crossover tourer, the 12'6" Sport+ is ideal for lightweights and aspirational paddlers.

I didn't come to my decision to buy the 12'6" sport+ easily. I kept going back and fourth between this board and others out there. I currently have several inflatables and a hard bard. I love the portability aspect of inflatables but admittedly I've never found them as fun as my hardboard due to the glide. Happy to say my new sport + glides beautifully on the water. Kate from customer service was super helpful in pointing me in the right direction as to which board I should get. The 4.7 inch thickness of the board does indeed give you a more connected feel to the water. And the shape of this board...it's super sleek. But I don't feel unstable at all. The shape just really makes it cut through the water with ease.
Normally when I paddle an inflatable I do a stroke and then just stop shortly after the stroke. But on this board I keep gliding...more like a hard board. I would imagine the thin shape of the board is what makes it cut through the water so easily. There's so little water resistance. Which means I can paddle for a very long time without getting tired. Great for long adventures. I generally use it for exercise. I find I can paddle harder and faster with less impact on my body.
Highly recommend this board if you want something that fast, and efficient. So far I'm loving this board!

Had my 10’ 6” ride for a couple of years now and my paddle boarding has improved to a standard that has made me confident enough to enter the race to the castle 2026. Looked around and tried some 12’ 6” boards out but after trying the future series at A S water sports in Exeter I purchased one with the ultimate carbon paddle. Absolutely beautiful board, more stable than I expected, hit the water and just felt right. Tracking and glide excellent and not as much effort to cover more distance than my 10’ 6” ride.
I would also recommend the ultimate carbon paddle, extremely light after using it and then swapping to my old paddle with my Granddaughter the difference was so noticeable, even my Granddaughter commented on how the ultimate carbon paddle felt and performed. Had a slight problem with the Titan 2 pump as it was damaged on arrival but Katie from Red Paddle Co was very helpful sent me return postage and then sent out a replacement. If you are thinking about purchasing this board I would recommend it well worth the investment.

You’re only a few days in but the quality and rigidity of these boards is notable… They are light and quick but probably not for beginners
