Red Paddle Co 12'6" x 28" Elite Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

Racing stand up paddle boards is great fun and fantastic exercise, which is why the race scene is expanding rapidly. The big problem for most paddlers, though, is that race boards are long and heavy, which makes them difficult to transport and store. The 2022 Red Paddle Co 12’6″ x 28″ Elite (https://greenwatersports.com/shop/red...) solves that problem. It’s long and narrow, which means it’s lightning-quick through the water, but at the same time it’s an inflatable, so it can be packed away for easy transport and storage.

The Red Paddle Co 12’6″ x 28″ Elite includes Red Paddle Co’s patented Forward Flex Control, and updated RSS Battens which work together to make an exceptionally stiff board. Parallel rails, rocker line and nose runner fins provide maximum control, glide and ride. While a Race fin at the rear gives the right amount of grip without adding drag.

Who’s it for? Competitive types – you know who you are.

Includes 5 YEAR warranty with product registration.

Colin Chapman of Lotus Sports Cars was known for his saying “To go faster, just add lightness” and hence weight is saved by having deck grip in only the most essential areas on the Elite Race. 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.

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 Race is competitive against existing hard board designs. You really need to paddle this board to experience just quite how good/fast it is.
