The Ninja 12’6 shares proven race winning DNA with the 14’ Ninja. Designer Alain Teurquetil and the race team focused on the core principles of speed and versatility of the 14’ to create the lower volume 12’6 version to allow smaller and lighter riders to reach their full potential.

The two 12’6 Kaido models have the same rocker as the full-size version but benefits from a refined nose area along with a flat deck, as opposed to the recessed deck in the full-size Ninjas for maximum usability.

Like the full-size version, the 12’6 Kaido model is predominantly a flat-water racer that excels in chop and small bumps. The Ninja shapes are about efficiency and conserving energy, allowing their riders to paddle faster consistently, right up to the finish line.

30-50kg riders are going to set personal bests with these junior models and they are perfect for markets with a strong club presence.

Key Design Elements:

• Includes Race fin and handles
• Carbon SLX perfectly blends durability, weight and value
• Low center of gravity for extra balance
• Wide tail for confident turns and control at the buoys
• Full-length and submerged nose for maximized efficiency and glide

Dimensions

Pick your weight units for the NSP Kaido dimensions chart:

Length	Width	Thickness	Volume	Weight +/- 5%
12'6"	20"	Recessed deck	209 L	9.30 Kg EST
12'6"	22"	Recessed deck	226 L	9.73 Kg EST

Why does the dimensions table say EST under “Weight”?

“EST” is short for “Estimated Weight”. Since all NSP Ninja Kaido SLX Carbon raceboards are hand-shaped to detail by our shapers, weight varies from one board to another within a certain variance. So to calculate a true average weight, NSP reserves the right to manufacture a certain number of boards before publishing the official (average-based) weight.

SLX Carbon Technology

• SLX Carbon for added strength and less weight
• Unidirectional (UD) carbon rail for enhanced rigidity and durability
• Carbon innegra nose and tail reinforcement for extra impact protection
• Fiberglass T-Stringers for added stiffness
• Thermoformed EVA deck for added grip
• Low center of gravity for comfort and stability
• Two short side handles and one long center handle for easy handling and transport

Key Features

FEATURES:

– Reduced outside walls at the tail to create a flatter area and be more usable and stable during buoy turns
– A full-length nose keeps the board under the waterline, preventing shlogging for more speed and consistent glide
– A one-way GORE® vent near the FCS-mount for GoPro (or GPS) prevents pressure build-ups
