Red Paddle Co 14' x 27" Elite Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

The 2022 Red Paddle Co 14′ x 27″ Elite (https://greenwatersports.com/shop/red...) is one of the fastest boards out there, and the secret of its speed lies in the details. The Red Paddle Co Elite range of boards utilise the updated RSS system, which stiffens the boards, and works in tandem with with FFC to eliminate nose flex created during powerful starts and racing.

At 14′ long and just 27″ wide, this board has been shaped to cut through the water like a hot knife through butter. It rides high at 5.90″ thick, reducing drag, while double nose runner fins keep the board tracking straight without creating drag, a combination that lies at the heart of what makes this board so fast and so easy to control in race conditions.

Who’s it for? Competitive racers who want a fast 14’ inflatable race board.

Includes 5 YEAR warranty with product registration.

Away races are now a reality. Just pack up and attend any race anywhere in the world – no hassles. Whilst other inflatable race paddle boards have to race against their own breed in one design classes, the Red Paddle Co Elite is competitive against existing hard board designs. You really need to paddle this board to experience just quite how good/fast it is. The rocker line is designed to give fast glide and ride. The single nose fin helps tracking. The centre fin gives just the right amount of grip without adding drag.
