The 12'6" Elite MSL inflatable paddleboard is a pure racing machine, completely redesigned for ambitious paddlers who are hungry for competition. Well-balanced yet unapologetically built for speed, it’s narrow and fast, redefining what’s possible in the 12'6" fleets. Race-tuned for rapid acceleration, blistering pace, arrow-true tracking, and mark-rounding manoeuvrability.
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.

New board profile and new drop stitch material MSL®800 offers increased rigidity and reduced weight by up to 2KG. Due to the new material properties, we have been able to remove the FFC system from the 12’6"
The glass fibre centre fin supplied-as-standard gives the right amount of grip without adding drag, whilst the angled design prevents any debris from getting stuck on the fin.
Central and the forward positioned handles, ideal for standing race starts. Optimal placement for race-start launching.
Smalls loop ideal for water bottle and flip flop storage.
Rail foot holds allow the rider to dig their feet into the board. This will give a rounded stance meaning more energy can be channelled into each paddle stroke.
Soft-touch tubular centre carry handle with embroidered logo on balance point for easier carrying.
The Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) utilises two external pure plastic battens designed to give specialist boards up to 40% more stiffness.
Super grippy ‘Red’ embossed EVA deck pad. Multi-colour and multi-texture aids user board positioning and prevents the deck from becoming slippery.
Raised kick pad for assisted grip when manoeuvring.
We build things to last and are confident your board will live to stand the test of time. So confident we are we ran a 22 tonne digger over one of our boards and it lived to tell the tale.
Every element has been painstakingly designed and developed to ensure there is no compromise in performance.
We offer a range of package options so you only need to get what you actually need.
Every board comes with an industry leading bag that has been engineered just as meticulously as our boards allowing you to explore your world.

Massive thank you to George at Red for allowing me to borrow a board to demo before purchasing. I was concerned how tippy it would be moving from 28” to 25”. It’s surprisingly confidence inspiring and its secondary stability kicks in . Lovely nippy board, still some improvement for me personally before I get bomb proof in all conditions, but that’s what I wanted and it feels achievable.

The board is rock solid once inflated and glides through the water with ease. It’s quick, tracks straight, and feels stable even when the water gets a little choppy.
It’s rated up to 22 PSI for maximum stiffness, and my automatic pump goes to 20 PSI (well within the recommended range), I’ll top it off with the hand pump to get that extra stability — the included pump is one of the nicest I’ve used. Just note that the leash is sold separately, so you’ll want to pick that up if you don’t already have one.
Packing it down is just as easy, and it fits neatly in the back of my vehicle. If you want a paddle board that’s fast but still easy to handle, this one’s a winner.
