IMPACTEC RIVERBOARDS

High Performance River Machine
 
Our most agile river shape and crowd favorite of this year's tour. Its double concave and thin rail design deliver instant response to your maneuvers.
 
Performance Riverboard with extra drive
 
The Swallow Creek Pro delivers unmatched speed and precision. Its single concave and swallow tail enable tight and powerful turns with exceptional hold on the rail.
 
Matching Agility and Speed
 
The most trusted all-rounder, made to deliver both drive and agility. The double concave under your back foot and the diamond tail create fast rail-to-rail surfing and reliable hold when you need it.

NEXT LEVEL IMPACT PROTECTION

Built for hits and tuned for performance. River surfing is demanding. Impacts on walls, fin strikes on concrete, pressure from powerful flows — your board has to take it all. But durability doesn't mean much if the board doesn't perform as it should.
 
Thanks to our updated ImpacTec Construction, these boards take river surfing durability to new heights. Whether you're chasing progression or peak performance, our KANOA rivershapes are designed to push limits and redefine river surfing.

 


THE TECH INSIDE

ImpacTec boards are reinforced exactly in the spots that are most quickly affected when surfing artificial waves. Therefore, the rails and fin boxes come stronger than ever and are protected with extra fiberglass that has been integrated into our manufacturing process.

 

INNEGRA RAIL REINFORCEMENT

The gold standard for impact resistance. The Innegra Rail Reinforcements add critical rail protection without sacrificing flex or feel.

Reinforced where it matters: Innegra™ fibers paired with a layer of S-Glass creates a hybrid rail construction that's both strong and responsive. It absords impact, reduces damage, and enhances flexibility thanks to high elongation and stiffness - protecting the most exposed part of your board while keeping performance high, session after session.

 

 


ANCHOR FINBOX

Our own finbox-tech that is anchored to the core - for unmatched plug stability.

A high-strength S-Glass beam connects the FCS2 finbox to both top and bottom laminate, reinforcing the structure against torsional and impact forces. This design enhances longevity, reduces failure under pressure, and keeps your board performing—especially during heavy landings or rough hits.


OPTIMIZED HYBRID S-GLASS LAYUP

A heavy-duty 4+4/6 oz layup that keeps the board light but extremely durable. The S-Glass layer increases stability by up to 30% and enhances the efficiency of the Innegra Rails and Anchor Finbox.

Compared to standard E-Glass, S-Glass is 30% lighter, 30% stronger, and significantly more responsive—offering superior surface integrity and optimal reinforcement around critical areas like the rails and fin boxes.

 



MADE FOR ARTIFICIAL WAVE PERFORMANCE

ImpacTec boards have been developed exactly for the demands of artificial waves.

With added protection on rails and finboxes, your board is more resistant to the harsh conditions of rivers and other artificial waves.

Hitting the wall, fins touching the ground, ... these things can happen in many situations. But the KANOA ImpacTec boards are well prepared to deal with it. And on top of that, the board is much less sensitive to pressure dents from powerful surfing.
