SIC 12'6 Tao Tour Glide – Ex Demo Inflatable Paddleboard Package
The SIC 12'6 Tao Tour Glide Ex Demo Package is a very sensible choice if you want a faster, more efficient inflatable paddleboard for cruising, fitness paddling and longer relaxed trips, without moving into a narrow race-style board.
This is an ex-demo board, so it has been used and may show normal cosmetic signs of use, but it is supplied as a complete ready-to-paddle package with a new bag, new pump, new leash, new fin and new 3-piece paddle. That makes it a strong-value touring setup for someone who wants proper glide without buying every accessory separately.
Who Is It Best For?
This board suits paddlers who want to move beyond a standard 10'6 all-round board and cover more distance with less effort. It works well on rivers, canals, estuaries, lakes and calmer coastal water, where the 12'6 length helps the board track straighter and carry speed between paddle strokes.
It may not be the best choice if you mainly want a very wide family board for children to climb on and off, or if you want maximum stability above all else. For that, a wider all-round or expedition-style touring board may be more suitable.
Why Choose This Ex Demo SIC Tao Tour Glide?
- Touring glide: the 12'6 length gives noticeably better straight-line efficiency than a shorter all-round SUP.
- Stable but not sluggish: the 30" width gives a useful balance of confidence and speed.
- Complete package: supplied with new bag, pump, leash, fin and 3-piece paddle.
- Good upgrade board: ideal for paddlers who want to paddle further, straighter and more efficiently.
- Easy to store and transport: as an inflatable board, it packs down into the supplied bag for travel and storage.
- Strong value: a proper touring shape at an ex-demo price point.

Condition Notes

Buying Advice
Choose this board if your main priority is efficient cruising, fitness paddling or relaxed touring. Compared with a shorter all-round inflatable, it will feel more directional and easier to paddle in a straight line. Compared with a narrower race board, it remains more forgiving and accessible.
For other options, browse our touring paddleboards, explore the full SIC Maui range, or read our best touring paddleboards guide. If you are unsure whether a 12'6 touring board is right for you, our SUP Test Centre at Woodmill, Southampton is the best way to compare boards properly before buying.

FAQs
Is this board new or used?
This is an ex-demo board, so it has been used and may show normal cosmetic signs of use. The package is supplied with a new bag, pump, leash, fin and 3-piece paddle.
Is the SIC 12'6 Tao Tour Glide suitable for beginners?
Yes, it can suit a beginner who knows they want to focus on cruising and distance paddling rather than very casual beach use. The 30" width gives a good balance of stability and touring performance.
How does it compare with a 10'6 all-round paddleboard?
A 10'6 all-round board is usually easier for general family use and playing around close to shore. The 12'6 Tao Tour Glide is better if you want to paddle further, track straighter and make each stroke more efficient.
What water is this board best for?
It is best suited to rivers, canals, lakes, estuaries and calmer coastal paddling. It is a touring board, so it works best when you want to cover distance rather than surf waves or use it purely as a beach board.
Does it come with everything needed to paddle?
Yes. This package includes the board, new bag, new pump, new leash, new fin and new 3-piece paddle. You will still need suitable personal safety equipment and clothing for the conditions.
