What The SUP Store Says
"This is a premium package built to last and now even lighter and stiffer thanks to the new MSL®800 construction. The Sport range could easily be your first paddleboard because they are incredibly stable, but thanks to the more pointed nose shape they are also far more efficient than a traditional all-round board.
In simple terms, they glide further with every paddle stroke, making longer paddles easier and more enjoyable. The 12'6" Sport+ is a fantastic option for paddlers looking to step up from a standard all-round board and start covering more distance. If you're looking at the 14' Sport+, remember it's also 28" wide but offers even more glide and speed thanks to the extra length, although the jump from a 30" wide board will feel more noticeable."
The Board
The 12'6" Sport+ is a streamlined crossover touring board designed for paddlers seeking speed, glide and efficiency in a highly versatile package. Perfect for lighter riders, fitness paddlers and those looking to progress their skills, it delivers fast, responsive performance while remaining reassuringly stable.
Its narrow tapered nose and sleek 28" outline slice effortlessly through the water, producing smooth glide, efficient tracking and reduced drag. The hard-release Speed Tail further enhances performance by improving water release and helping maintain momentum between strokes.
At just 4.7" thick, the board offers a more connected feel to the water than many traditional touring boards, creating a responsive and confidence-inspiring ride. The carefully distributed volume and square tail maintain stability, even in choppier coastal conditions, making it equally capable on rivers, lakes, estuaries and open water adventures.
Whether you're exploring new waterways, increasing your paddling fitness or simply looking for a faster board than a traditional all-round shape, the 12'6" Sport+ delivers an excellent balance of speed, comfort and control.
Construction
