Columbia S 12'6" Inflatable Paddleboard — The Wild Tribe
Columbia S 12'6" Inflatable Paddleboard — The Wild Tribe
Built for Speed, Glide & Expedition-Ready Performance.
The Columbia S 12'6" is The Wild Tribe's touring paddleboard — built for paddlers who want to cover distance efficiently. At 12'6" x 30" x 4.75", its longer, narrower profile is engineered to cut through the water cleanly, track straight, and glide further on every stroke.
If the Sequoia is built for stability, the Columbia S is built for performance. Same premium construction — different purpose. This is the board for the paddler who wants to explore the full length of the lake, not just the cove in front of the cottage.
The Columbia S 12'6" earns the Better Tools™ mark for measurably superior touring performance over standard recreational boards. The longer waterline improves tracking and reduces the number of strokes needed to cover the same distance — meaning less fatigue on longer paddles. The 4.75" thickness sits lower than the industry-standard 6" boards, lowering the centre of gravity and improving efficiency on open water. For the serious cottage paddler, this is a meaningful performance upgrade.

Who It's For
The Columbia S is built for intermediate to advanced paddlers who want to cover distance. Ideal for early morning lake crossings, longer touring paddles, multi-stop cottage trips, or anyone who has outgrown recreational boards and wants more from every stroke.
Note: The 30" width is narrower than most recreational boards. New paddlers should consider the Sequoia 11' for its wider, more stable platform.
