An all-out thoroughbred raceboard, the fully redesigned 14’0″ Elite inflatable paddleboard is our fastest, stiffest board. Built in new super-light, ultra-stiff MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material with RSS battens plus FFC nose-rod to lock in stiffness, it’s extraordinarily rigid yet weighs less than 10kg. A real contender in the 14’0″ fleets – there’s simply no need to feel outgunned by a hardboard…
This versatile racer is truly competitive across all disciplines – from technical to long-distance, flat-water to downwinders to surf-racing. Long, drawn-out rails tapering to a rounded pintail ensure amazing glide and distance per stroke, while 26″ of width marries high speed with full-power stability.
An intuitive variable traction deckpad and reworked rail risers provide a firm footing for confident paddling and effective footsteering. A perfectly balanced central handle and forward side handles for beachstarts and transitions complete a performance-driven, race-winning machine – finished with adjustable flat bungees, a bottle holder, and M6 accessory mount for training practicality.

Sustainability.
At Red, sustainability isn’t just marketing hype – it’s at the core of what we do. As a certified B Corp (www.bcorporation.net) we champion high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Fundamentally, our boards are designed and built to last. Our quality-assured Tec Air process has an extremely low warranty rate below 0.5%. Maximising longevity minimises our impact on the planet.
Yet even durable Red kit will eventually reach end-of-life, hence our ‘design for disassembly’ approach. For example, all Titan pump components are replaceable, while using 100% recoverable virgin plastic in our fins, finboxes and RSS battens ensure they’re fully recyclable.
Our manufacturing processes, like turning the offcuts from our EVA deckpads into keyrings, aim for zero waste too, reflecting our commitment to low-impact resource selection.
Care.
How to store your board
Before storing, rinse all equipment in fresh water and let it dry completely.
To pack away, lay the deflated board deck-up and place the pump across the nose, leaving enough room to wrap the board over. Roll tightly, then secure with the strap. Use the backpack’s internal strap to secure the board inside.
Store your board in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. If keeping it rolled up, avoid excess pressure on the straps. If space allows, it’s best to store the pump separately.
You can also leave your board inflated, ideally kept on a flat surface or upright – but do reduce the board’s pressure to below 15psi if not in use for a while.
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.

FFC Patented Innovation
FFC – Forward Flex Control: Patented innovation. High-modular carbon rod assembly that expands and locks to create rigidity and reduce flex, increasing board speed.
Carry Handles
Central and the forward positioned handles, ideal for standing race starts.
Cargo System
4 point cargo system with flat bungees for easy and secure storage, with in-built accessory mount, perfect for the Red Camera Mount.
Smalls Loop
Smalls loop ideal for water bottle and flip flop storage.
Centre Handle
Soft-touch tubular centre carry handle with embroidered logo on balance point for easier carrying.
Rail Risers
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.
RSS: Patented Innovation
The Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) utilises two external pure plastic battens designed to give specialist boards up 40% more stiffness.
Deck Pad
Super grippy ‘Red’ embossed EVA deck pad. Multi-colour and multi-texture aids user board positioning and prevents the deck from becoming slippery.
Tail Pad
Crocodile cut, ‘Red’ embossed tail pad for added grip when down-winding. Raised kick pad for assisted grip when manoeuvring.
Tail Profile
Drawn out tail shape to reduce drag and improve release.
Valve & Leash
Valve makes inflation and deflation quick and easy. Secure, inbuilt, marine grade stainless steel D-ring to firmly secure your leash.
Fin
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.
