It is built for paddlers who have enjoyed the reassurance of an all-round board but now want more glide, cleaner tracking and a more efficient feel over distance without stepping onto something narrow or intimidating.

The longer outline, narrower nose and touring fin help the board travel further per stroke, while the 32\" width and lower-profile 4.7\" thickness keep it feeling settled and connected underfoot. For UK paddling, where sessions often mix flat water, light chop, estuaries and sheltered coastal routes, it is a brilliant crossover shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere this board sits in the Red Paddle Co range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 11'3 Sport sits neatly between Red's easy-going Ride boards and their longer, more distance-focused touring shapes. If the Ride is the reassuring all-round starting point, the 11'3 Sport is the board for paddlers who want to cover ground more efficiently and enjoy a more purposeful feel on the water. It is still stable enough for improving paddlers and many confident beginners, but it has a much stronger glide and straight-line bias than a traditional all-round board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the 11'3 Sport if you want one board that feels faster, more efficient and better suited to longer paddles than a Ride, but you do not want the extra length and more committed feel of a bigger touring board. If your paddling is mostly short family sessions and first-time use, a Ride still makes more sense. If your main goal is bigger mileage, more carrying capacity or longer touring routes, then stepping up again to a 12'6 Sport or Voyager-style board is the right move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the Red Paddle Co 11'3 Sport?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore glide without losing confidence\u003c\/strong\u003e – a genuine upgrade from an all-round board, but still very approachable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStable 32\" platform\u003c\/strong\u003e – reassuring enough for improving paddlers, bigger riders and mixed conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBetter tracking and efficiency\u003c\/strong\u003e – ideal for fitness paddling, coastal cruising, rivers and longer recreational sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore connected feel on the water\u003c\/strong\u003e – the lower 4.7\" profile helps the board feel planted rather than corky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Red Paddle Co finish\u003c\/strong\u003e – durable construction, thoughtful details and a package that is genuinely ready to use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to own\u003c\/strong\u003e – all the practicality of an inflatable, without giving up that more performance-led feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11'3\" \/ 343 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32\" \/ 81.3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.7\" \/ 120 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e258 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eBoard weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 11.3 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eRecommended rider weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to approx. 115 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eMaximum load\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 160 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eFin setup\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle 9\" touring fin \/ US box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdventure Series MSL construction with RSS battens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth align=\"left\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStep-up paddling, touring, fitness paddling, coastal cruising and longer recreational sessions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Paddle Co 11'3\" Sport inflatable paddleboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-paddle-co-atb-transformer-board-bag\"\u003eRed Paddle Co ATB Transformer Board Bag\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-paddle-co-titan-ii-pump\"\u003eRed Paddle Co Titan II Pump\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-paddle-co-sport-voyager-fin\"\u003e9\" touring fin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-paddle-co-rss-batten-single\"\u003eRSS battens\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-paddle-co-shoulder-carry-strap\"\u003eRed Paddle Co shoulder carry strap\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/red-paddle-co-flat-water-coiled-leash-8ft\"\u003eRed Paddle Co flat water coiled leash\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paddleboarding-accessories\"\u003eWaterproof phone case\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService \/ repair kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: paddle sold separately.

A shorter all-round board is often easier to turn and store, but it tends to wander more from side to side and loses glide more quickly between strokes.
