Description

Designed by experienced paddlers for beginners and experts alike.

Updated for 2024 with a carefully tweaked planform and an improved nose rocker, we are confident hat this is board is the absolute best beginner to intermediate whitewater paddleboard on the market.  Originally designed in 2017, and tweaked ever since, this board has both providence, and longevity – this is no johnny come lately!

It is very much designed as a beginner’s whitewater board – a super stable platform that allow you to develop your core underpinning whitewater skills, but also allows a bit of fun as you start to develop. And yet, it also works away from the river, as you can see in the pic below.

What we’ve ended up with is a knife-edge compromise between a board that paddles in a straight line to the run, is a very stable board for total whitewater SUP beginners, holds its line in ferry glides, eddies in and out easily, and yet is loose in river waves. Whilst being plenty applicable for anyone paddling at the coast or on non-moving water.

If that doesn’t sound possible, this is how:

Whitewater SUP key features
