The 14' Elite was developed to deliver race-winning speed and efficiency, with the confidence to paddle full-power from startline to finish. Built to perform, it’s truly fast and competitive across all racing disciplines – technical to long-distance and endurance, flat-water to downwinders and surf-racing.
A slender 26" profile and super-narrow tapered nose cuts through the water, enabling rapid acceleration, effortless glide and exceptional tracking. The carefully distributed volume and refined square tail provide reassuring stability without compromising speed, inspiring confident race pace paddling, whatever the water state. The hard-release Speed Tail further reduces drag, making the most of every stroke.
Constructed in Red’s ultra-light MSL®800 double-drop-stitch material, minimising weight and maximising rigidity for efficient power delivery and lightning responsiveness. Plus patented RSS side battens and FFC nose rod enhance stiffness, so you never need to feel disadvantaged against hardboards. Unleash your full potential with the 14' Elite.
