Description
The 14' Elite was developed to deliver race-winning speed and efficiency, with the confidence to paddle full-power from startline to finish. Built to perform, it’s truly fast and competitive across all racing disciplines – technical to long-distance and endurance, flat-water to downwinders and surf-racing.
A slender 26" profile and super-narrow tapered nose cuts through the water, enabling rapid acceleration, effortless glide and exceptional tracking. The carefully distributed volume and refined square tail provide reassuring stability without compromising speed, inspiring confident race pace paddling, whatever the water state. The hard-release Speed Tail further reduces drag, making the most of every stroke.
Constructed in Red’s ultra-light MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, minimising weight and maximising rigidity for efficient power delivery and lightning responsiveness. Plus patented RSS side battens and FFC nose rod enhance stiffness, so you never need to feel disadvantaged against hardboards. Unleash your full potential with the 14' Elite
Benefits
Material
Built in our latest, super-light, ultra-stiff MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material.
MSL® (Monocoque Structural Laminate) is the world’s leading drop-stitch. 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.
Care
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.
