Fast Crossover Design: Next-Level Glide for Progressive Paddlers
Take your touring further and faster. The 11’3″ Sport MSL 800 is designed to satisfy your demand for speed without imposing the steep, tippy learning curve of a narrow race board. It achieves the perfect sweet spot by matching a familiar, confidence-boosting 32″ width with a drawn-out, hydrodynamic touring template.
Whether you are building your fitness on flat water, exploring winding inland waterways, or slicing through coastal side-chop, this board delivers immediate acceleration per stroke and lasers-straight tracking.
The MSL® 800 Future Series Innovation
Red’s exclusive MSL® 800 construction represents a huge leap forward for 2026. By utilizing a high-definition woven drop-stitch core instead of traditional knitted layers, this board shaves nearly 2kg (4.4 lbs) off standard weights. It minimizes “swing weight,” making the board feel incredibly nimble during pivot turns and effortless to shoulder-carry to the shoreline.
Low-Profile Rigidity with Patented RSS
Cheap touring boards try to create stiffness by bloat—making them 6 inches thick so they float like a cork and drift in the wind. The 11’3″ Sport remains a sleek 4.7″ (120mm) thick. This drops your center of gravity closer to the water’s surface for immense natural stability. To ensure hard-board rigidity under heavy loads, Red’s patented Rocker Stiffening System (RSS) battens slide directly into the side rails, increasing stiffness by up to 33%.

Buyer’s Guide & FAQ
How does the 11’3″ Sport compare to the 10’6″ Ride?
Think of the 10’6″ Ride as a stable family SUV and the 11’3″ Sport as a fast sports car. They share the same 32″ width at the midpoint, but the Sport has a sleeker nose and a longer length. This means the Sport will cut through water and glide much further with every paddle stroke, making it ideal for longer distances.
Is this board a good fit for heavier riders?
Yes, the 11’3″ Sport is a favorite for mid-to-heavyweight riders up to 242 lbs. Its elongated plan shape and 258L of volume, reinforced by the RSS stiffening battens, provide a rock-solid platform that will not bend or bow under load.
