Red Paddle Co 12' COMPACT irklentė

Built for adventurous travellers wanting top-end touring capability in a supremely portable package, this full-sized explorer fits into a half-size backpack. Inspired by our acclaimed Voyager range, the 12'0" Compact inflatable paddleboard is great for getaways: maximum performance, minimised...

With a generous 32" width and 302L of volume, it easily carries heavier loads and is happy in a broad range of water states. The drawn-out touring shape is perfect for longer paddles, wherever the spirit takes you.

Constructed in our high-density MSL® PACT™ material reinforced with quad stringers, RSS battens boost inflated rigidity by a further 30%. Yet without compromising stiffness or durability, when deflated the 12'0" Compact folds in half and rolls up into our 90L Compact Backpack.

The 12'0" Compact packs down with a five-piece adjustable carbon paddle and removable Click Fin system for hassle-free storage and travel, complete with Titan II pump, coiled leash and all the high-end accessories Red are renowned for.

COMPACT BACKPACK

Probably the world’s most painstakingly designed paddleboard bag, the Compact Backpack halves the downforce applied to the lower back so you can comfortably carry it for longer. It’s been meticulously engineered to offer unrivalled adjustability and comfort, plus incredible shoulder and back support. 

Opening fully for easy packing, it’s built for functionality too – featuring reflective safety trim, brushed cotton cushioning, internal paddle storage, external water bottle pockets, and optional compression straps for a tighter fit.

TITAN II SUP PUMP

The Titan II Pump is the world's first purpose-built, double chamber SUP pump. It's designed to cut the amount of time and effort it takes to inflate your board by half. Constant innovation has led to us testing the absolute boundaries of inflation technology and as such, we're confident that there's nothing quite like the Titan II pump on the market.

The Dual Cylinder system, combined with the Hi Flo handle means you are in complete control of the energy used to inflate your board. It puts the volume into your board faster and reduces the effort required to reach a higher pressure.

5-PIECE PADDLE

Our Compact 5-Piece paddle packs down neatly and conveniently without sacrificing performance. A light, stiff carbon shaft provides rigidity while a robust, eco-friendly pure nylon blade with laser-etched graphics offers long-term durability. 

The paddle is fully adjustable and uses our new anti-twist adjustment system with 45° cut push-pin fitting for a solid assembly.

TWIN CLICK FINS

Every board in our Compact range comes with two removable Click Fins. These durable plastic fins use a simple click-fit system with a secondary screw for added security. 

The two offset finboxes are also compatible with FCS fittings, so you can alter the feel of your board by using different fins.

COILED LEASH

Our Coiled SUP Leash is made for all flat-water paddlers and racers. When paddling it sits on the board to minimise drag, so it won’t catch on anything in the water. 

The 7mm dual cord leash features double pivot points to reduce twisting, attached via a comfortable neoprene ankle cuff with a quick-release Velcro closure and built-in key pouch. Supplied with a rope loop for securing the rail saver to a D-ring or any other leash point.

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%. Maximizing longevity minimizes our impact on the planet.

Yet even a 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, fin boxes, and RSS battens ensures 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 fibers are designed to withstand pressures in excess of 22psi, meaning Red boards can be inflated to provide unrivaled 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.
