Why We Like The River Surfer Stand-Up Paddleboard
Designed by two Colorado whitewater fanatics who pioneered river surfing on a SUP, the Badfish River Surfer is our favorite way to live out surfing fantasies hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. Made from a high-quality EPS and fiberglass construction, the River Surfer's design allows it to plane out on even smaller river waves where ocean boards wouldn't stand a chance. Whether you're a surf bum who has relocated to the Rockies or a whitewater kayaker looking to stand up on a wave, the River Surfer is your ticket to rip.
