Parallel rails, rocker line and nose runner fins provide maximum control, glide and ride. While a Race fin at the rear gives the right amount of grip without adding drag. Who's it for? Competitive types - you know who you are. Includes 5 YEAR warranty with product registration. 2022 Red Paddle Co 12'6" x 28" x 5.9" Elite inflatable SUP.
