Updated design for 2016! A scaled-down racing board, perfect for smaller folks. Now super lightweight.

Taking inspiration from the Red Paddle Co Elite and Race boards, the Max Race 10' 6" has been designed for the youth racing class, particularly riders up to 155 lbs.

The shorter length, slim 24" silhouette, narrow nose and tail make it manageable both on and off the water, while providing a stable enough platform that is agile and speedy. Double nose runners (top and bottom) help the Max knife through the water, maintaining a super-straight line in calmer and down-wind conditions.

The Ten Six Max Race utilizes a low profile US box fin system which comes supplied with a fin designed for straight-line control - just the right amount of grip without adding drag.

The Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) was designed to increase rigidity - it works by inserting stiffening strips (rockets) along the rails of the board. This works against the downward force of the rider, producing a stiffer board. The rockets are removable for easy board rolling, and can be stored in the carry bag. While some inflatable boards flex uncontrollably in the water, Red Air's 16-22 PSI super-stiff, double layer construction holds firm and allows you to travel with confidence.

The Max Race 10-6 features a 120mm material. The increased thickness is 20% stiffer than a 100mm board at the same pressure, meaning a rider can obtain greater stiffness at lower pressure without affecting the ride and performance - or stiffer performance at higher pressure.

New for 2016! All Red Paddle Co models are now constructed using Monocoque Structural Laminate (MSL) fusion technology. This innovative new process involves fusing a second layer of polymer to the drop-stitch material in the raw material stage. The end result is a higher-quality, high-pressure material utilizing less glue; this reduces the weight of each board up to 20% while increasing the tension and making the boards slightly more rigid.

Precise fin placement and rocker lines also turn Red Paddle Co. boards from being ordinary into something that you want to ride again and again.

Features include:

• Removable fin system utilizing US Fin Box. Comes with fin designed for straight-line control.
• PVC board material with high-grade, double-thread internal drop stitching
