Athabasca S 12'6" Inflatable Paddleboard, Long-Distance Touring SUP | The Wild Tribe
Description
Athabasca S 12'6" Inflatable Paddleboard
The Athabasca S stretches the Athabasca shape to 12 ft 6 in and narrows it to 30 in, a proportion swap built for speed over long paddles. It holds up to 285 lbs.
The extra length and narrower width trade a little side-to-side stability for a longer waterline, which is what lets a board hold speed over a multi-kilometre paddle.

Longer and narrower, on purpose
At 12 ft 6 in by 30 in, the S shape carries its length efficiently. It rewards a paddler who wants to put in real distance rather than circle near shore.
What you get
Dual-layer PVC build
X-shaped drop-stitch construction and heat-welded rails hold air pressure and resist flex under load.
Full accessory kit
A 3-piece carbon paddle, hand pump with gauge, ankle leash, fins and a wheeled backpack are all included.
12 ft 6 in touring length
The longer waterline holds a cruising pace with less effort per stroke than a shorter board.
Crocodile-texture deck pad
A grippy, textured pad runs the standing area for secure footing, wet or dry.

Paddlers ready to upgrade
If a standard 11-foot board already feels easy, the narrower Athabasca S is the next step up in glide.
Frequently asked questions
How much weight can it hold?
Max user weight is 285 lbs. Factor in a dog or a second small paddler if you plan to share the board.
What comes in the box?
A 3-piece carbon paddle, dual-action hand pump with gauge, ankle leash, 3 fins with a carry bag, D-ring handles and a repair kit, packed into the wheeled backpack.
What is the warranty?
The Wild Tribe covers the board for 3 years against air leaks and seam failure, handled directly by the manufacturer.
Is this board harder to balance on than an 11-foot board?
It is narrower at 30 in, so it rewards a paddler who already has basic balance. Beginners may find a wider 32 in or 33 in board easier to start on.
