Looking for a new river shredding SUP? Look no further, we've got you covered! We had the pleasure of chatting with Mike Harvey, co-founder and owner of Badfish SUP, who shared some of his favorite features of their ultimate whitewater paddleboard: the Rivershred.

Stability in Every Wave

Dimensions

When it comes to whitewater paddling, the dimensions of your board are crucial. The Rivershred stands out with its impressive specs:

  • Length: 9 feet
  • Width: 36 inches
  • Thickness: 6 inches
  • The Rivershred's width provides exceptional stability in those unpredictable currents, eddy lines, and boils you encounter on the river. With a 6-inch thickness, the Rivershred is engineered for optimal performance. This feature allows you to roll the board up on edge, similar to a whitewater kayak, making it easier to maneuver in and out of eddies and cross currents without tripping.

    Tapered Nose and Continuous Rocker

    Design

    The shape of the River Shred is meticulously designed for whitewater performance. It features a very tapered nose, allowing you to punch through whitewater without getting slowed down by surface area. The whip carried through the tail adds to the board's stability.

    But the real game-changer? Continuous rocker. This design element ensures the board is rocked from end to end, enabling you to glide smoothly up and over whitewater.

    Fully Equipped

    Features

    The Rivershred includes several add-ons so you're fully equipped and ready to hit the water. It comes with:

  • Removable fins
  • A pump
  • A bag
  • A repair kit
  • If you're looking for the ultimate whitewater standup paddleboard, the Rivershred is your go-to choice. With its thoughtful design and robust features, it's ready to tackle any river challenge you throw at it.
