The new Red Air Race 12'6" RSS iSUP with the revolutionary RSS Rocker Stiffening System and a super-thick 150mm material construction! Faster than you ever thought an inflatable board could be.
The Twelve Six Race utilizes a low profile US box fin system. This allows you to put in your favourite flat water fin, but it comes supplied with a fin designed for straight-line control - just the right amount of grip without adding drag. A single nose fin also helps tracking.
The new Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) was designed to increase rigidity - it works by inserting stiffening strips (battens) along the rails of the board. This works against the downward force of the rider, producing a stiffer board. The battens 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 15-25 PSI super-stiff, double layer construction holds firm and allows you to travel with confidence.
The material thickness has been increased from 100mm to a whopping 150mm. The increased thickness is super-buoyant and 50% 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. This thickness is also perfect for non-surfing, flat water paddling as the board floats high to reduce drag in racing conditions.
Weight is saved on the new Red Air Race Twelve Six by placing deck grip in only the most essential areas, while the rocker line is designed to give a fast glide and ride. And with the added RSS rocker stiffening system, the Race Twelve Six becomes one of the stiffest boards of this size ever produced.
Fin placement and rocker lines are other key ingredients that turn Red Paddle Co. boards from being ordinary into something that you want to ride again and again.
The Red Air Race 12'6 is great for racing and competition.
