Red Paddle Co 12'6" Sport+ MSL Inflatable Paddle Board 2024
Description.
Combining speed with stability for progressive paddlers and longer routes, the redesigned 12'6" Sport+ inflatable paddleboard is a capable cruiser and crossover tourer. Performance-driven yet playful and practical, the 30" wide planshape promotes glide, with a hard-release Speed Tail and sleek nose that efficiently cuts through the water.
Offering exceptional stability, particularly in chop, at just 4.7" thick the 12'6" Sport+ sits low to the water to maximise balance and minimise windage. Constructed in our new MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, it’s much lighter yet even more rigid than ever before, reinforced with our patented Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) battens.
A generous 278L of volume, reconfigured for faster inflation, is plenty for heavier riders and load-carrying. Fully fitted with adjustable cargo system and three soft-touch handles for touring comfort, plus a variable traction deckpad for intuitive foot placement. The complete package includes all the top-quality Red essentials, backed with a 5-year warranty.
ATB Transformer Bag.
The redesigned ATB Transformer makes our best-selling All-Terrain Backpack an even more versatile travel companion. Its standout feature, the innovative bagless carry system, lets you strip back to just the core straps when heading down to the water.
An adjustable ergonomic structure offers optimised shoulder and back support, while integrated compression straps enhance portability. Thoughtfully designed storage – an interior paddle blade pocket, Velcro paddle securing, and a generously sized outer zip pocket – keeps everything together in the bag.

Material.
What is MSL®? Safe. Stiff. Durable.
Monocoque Structural Laminate or MSL® is the world’s leading drop-stitch material. Exclusive to Red Paddle Co boards, it’s made to our exact specifications.
Monocoque: meaning the coating is integral to the structure. MSL® drop-stitch technology integrates a highly durable, reinforced coating to the ultra-high-definition weave to form an inseparable base layer.
Structural: the high-tensile drop-stitch fibres are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivalled stiffness and confidence, no matter the rider weight or prevailing conditions.
Laminate: the reinforced composite coating is bonded to the textile core using machine welding that applies heat and pressure to the inner PVC layer, saving over 2kg of adhesives and reducing cosmetic and safety concerns. Produced under low tension, this process creates a torsional stiffening effect when the boards are inflated, making MSL® stiffer at lower pressures.
