TEST OUR NEWEST RIVER SURFBOARDS
We are stoked to drop the news – the Tryout Days are officially back - get ready to join our Surfboard Test Tour as we invite you to test all KANOA Riverboards at your local wave.
We've been busy all winter - developing, testing and fine-tuning our Construction - to upgrade our Riverboards to the next level. The result, proven shapes in our all-new ImpacTec River Construction. At this year's Tryout Days you get to ride them first and feel the difference.
Test Locations: THE How, WHERE & WHEN
Joining is simple: Just book a regular surf slot at one of the participating waves - we'll be on site all day with the full KANOA Riverboard lineup. No additional sign-up needed. Come by, have a chat, try as many shapes and sizes as you like.
UPDATE 31.05.2025:
Due to supply chain issues, we had to reschedule our Irie Surf and Rheinriff stops. See the updated dates below. Thanks for bearing with us, sometimes things just go sideways.
WHAT ARE THE KANOA TRYOUT DAYS?
The Tryout Days are your chance to test all the KANOA Riverboards where you surf most - as we're bringing our Rapid Quiver to four cities across Germany.
Every wave is different. Every surfer, too. That's why we keep it simple:
Test our boards for free, try different shapes and sizes - and feel for yourself what actually works under your feet.
Whether you're just getting into river surfing or already chasing your next board upgrade - get ready to ride our latest construction and talk gear with the people who built it. We'll be on site for questions, feedback, or just a few turns together.
What's new? - Meet Impactec
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.
That's why we keep refining and went all in this winter. Developing, building new prototypes and testing them the hard way. The result is our new ImpacTec - our toughest and most responsive River Construction to date.
- Innegra Rail Reinforcements - The gold standard for impact resistance. Adds critical rail protection without sacrificing flex or feel.
- Anchor Finbox - Our own finbox-tech that is anchored to the core – for unmatched plug stability.
- Optimized PU 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.
