RIVERBOARD SIZE GUIDE

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE?

This guide was made as a guideline to choose the right board size according to your weight. Our river surfboards are matched to strong, medium, or weaker rapids - so you can find the perfect fit for your ususal wave.

Please note, that these recommendations are based on intermediate surfing skills, if you're more advanced or pro you can also choose a smaller size.
