Description

If you want an inflatable paddle board that feels purpose-built for covering distance, the SIC Maui Tao Air Glide Tour 12'6" is a very sensible place to start. It gives you that longer waterline and straighter tracking you want from a touring board, but without becoming intimidating or overly technical to paddle.

For paddlers moving on from a short all-round board, or for anyone who already knows they want to paddle further on rivers, estuaries, canals and calmer coastal water, this is exactly the sort of board that makes sense. It is quicker and more efficient than a typical 10'6 all-rounder, yet still stable enough to feel reassuring underfoot.

The other big plus here is that this is a genuine ready-to-go package. You are not starting with “just the board” and then adding the basics afterwards. Paddle, pump, fin, leash and bag are all included, so you can get on the water straight away.

Where This Board Sits in the SIC Range

The Tao Air Glide Tour 12'6" sits in that useful middle ground between a general-use all-round board and a more premium, more specialist touring or race shape.

Choose this board if you want:

More glide and straighter tracking than a short all-round inflatable
A touring shape that still feels friendly rather than demanding
A complete package with the essentials included
A board that makes sense for day trips, fitness paddles and longer cruising sessions

If you want something more relaxed and family-focused, take a look at the SIC Tao Fit Tough Tec. If you want more carrying capacity and a more adventure-led touring feel, the SIC Okeanos Air Glide is the next step up. If outright speed, training and a more performance-oriented feel matter most, the SIC RST Air is the sharper option.

Why Choose the SIC Tao Air Glide Tour 12'6"

Easy distance: the 12'6 length helps the board glide further with less effort per stroke
Confidence without drag: 30" width keeps things stable without making the board feel overly barge-like
Good upgrade from an all-round board: ideal for paddlers who want to paddle further and straighter
Travel-friendly: packs down into a bag, stores easily and is simpler to transport than a hard board
Ready-to-go package: key accessories are included, so you can get started properly
Strong value in the range: a touring-specific shape without forcing you into a full premium race or expedition setup

Helpful Reading & Buying Advice

Is the SIC Tao Air Glide Tour 12'6" a good first touring paddleboard?

Yes, absolutely. This is the sort of board that works very well for someone stepping up from a shorter all-round inflatable, or for a first-time buyer who already knows their paddling will be focused on distance, fitness and cruising rather than general family use. It gives you touring glide without feeling too narrow or too technical.

Who should choose this instead of a 10'6" all-round paddleboard?

If your main goal is to paddle further, straighter and more efficiently, the 12'6" Tao Air Glide Tour makes far more sense than a standard all-rounder. A 10'6 board is usually better for casual mixed use, but this SIC is the better tool for proper journeys, fitness paddles and covering water with less effort.

Is 30" wide enough for most paddlers?

For many paddlers, yes. It is a very sensible touring width because it offers a strong balance of stability and glide. If you want the most planted, relaxed platform possible, or you plan to carry more kit, a wider option such as the Okeanos may be worth a look. But for many solo paddlers, 30" is right in the sweet spot.

Does the package come with everything I need to get started?

Yes. The package includes the board, bag, adjustable 3-piece paddle, fin, pump, leash and repair kit. That makes it a straightforward option for anyone wanting a complete touring setup without having to build a package separately.

Can I try a touring paddleboard before I buy?

Yes. If you want to compare touring shapes properly, the best thing to do is visit our SUP Test Centre. It is the quickest way to work out whether a 12'6 touring board is the right fit for your size, balance and paddling goals.

Features

12'6 touring outline
This is the main reason to choose it. A 12'6 board tracks better and carries glide more easily than a short all-round shape. On the water that means fewer wasted strokes, better cruising speed and a calmer, more efficient feel over distance.
30" width
This width is a smart sweet spot for a lot of paddlers. It gives enough stability to feel comfortable, while still keeping the board narrow enough to move through the water properly. That matters if you are buying a touring board for touring, not just for standing on.
Drop Stitch Construction
This is the internal structure that allows an inflatable board to hold its shape at pressure. In plain English, it helps the board feel firmer and more supportive on the water.
Support Stringer Technology
SIC uses Support Stringer Technology to improve stiffness and durability. The real-world benefit is a board that feels more composed under your feet and wastes less energy through flex when you are paddling forward.
Three-piece adjustable paddle included
For a package board, this is important. A three-piece paddle packs away neatly with the board, is easy to transport, and gives flexibility if more than one person will use the setup.
