Is the Radito or Rado better for me?

The Radito (10 ft x 34 inches) is the nimbler, more agile Expedition board for lighter paddlers or those who want quicker turning on rivers and flatwater. The Rado (10'10 x 35 inches) offers more volume and stability, better for bigger paddlers or multi-day trips with loaded gear. Both boards use the patented StompBox 2.5 retractable fin for shallow water confidence.

What fins are compatible with the Radito?

The Radito uses Hala's patented StompBox 2.5 retractable fin system. Center fins: 4.5-inch StompFin for technical rivers and shallow water; or 9-inch StompFin for deeper water and stronger tracking. Optional side-bite click fins: 4.5-inch Hard, Low-Pro 1.5-inch, or Pocket. All fins spring back automatically on rock contact.

What kind of paddling is the Radito designed for?

The Radito is an Expedition series go-everywhere board for lighter and more agile paddlers. It excels on Class I-III rivers, flatwater lakes, and multi-day river trips where responsiveness and easy turning are priorities. The patented StompBox 2.5 retractable fin handles shallow river sections and rocky approaches.

The Nimble Expedition and River SUP. The Radito delivers the same go-anywhere capability as the Rado — rivers, fishing, expeditions, flatwater — in a more responsive, quicker-turning package at 10' × 34". Rated for 325+ lbs of paddler and gear. A natural fit for smaller paddlers, and equally loved by larger paddlers who want quick, nimble handling over maximum stability.

The aggressive nose rocker and narrow side cut give the Radito genuine whitewater performance on Class II–III while a long waterline keeps you fast and efficient on flatwater. The flatter tail compensates for the nose rocker, delivering straight-line tracking on calm water and speed through river features — without the trade-off you'd expect between those two modes.

Hala's patented StompBox 2.5 retractable fin stays spring-loaded at full depth — no bounce, no catching on rocks. It deflects automatically on rock contact and springs back before your next stroke for consistent drive and locked-in ferry angles. A 9" Spring StompFin and two 4.5" gummy side-bite fins are included. Full fin lineup → Fin options and board comparisons are below.

Fin compatibility

StompBox 2.5 — Center Fins

9" Spring StompFin (Included)Ships with every StompBox 2.5 board. Springs back automatically on rock contact — no need to pull it manually. All-around river fin for Class II–IV.
9" Tracking StompFin (Optional upgrade)More downriver drive and straight-line tracking in deeper water. Best for big-volume rivers and expedition runs.
4.5" StompFin (Optional upgrade)Shallow sections, technical rocky lines, and a surfy, playful feel. Also springs back on contact.

Side-Bite Click Fins

4.5" Gummy (Included)Ships with every StompBox board. Soft compound for grip without catching on rocks.
4.5" Hard (Optional)Firmer side bite for maximum carving grip, lateral stability, and edge hold on moving water.
2" Gummy (Optional)Low-profile gummy for shallow, rocky lines where you want side hold without the snag risk.
Low-Pro 1.5" (Optional)Minimal drag profile for very shallow sections and tight rocky corridors.
Pocket (Optional)Ultra-low profile for the shallowest approaches and the most technical rocky lines.

Click fins seat and hold without tools — just push to click. Grub screws and a surf key are included and recommended: a hard strike from behind the board can trigger the click-release mechanism (that is how you remove them), so tightening the grub screws prevents accidental release in aggressive water.
