Down river beast!
Stable, responsive, and way too much fun. I'm a relative novice to SUP. This board makes me look and feel like a pro. I'm a raft guide and kayaker, this is my new favorite river craft!
Thanks Hala, keep it up; the stompbox is a game changer!
Hi there! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying your Atcha 96 on the river. We're always stoked to hear that a kayaker/rafter has become part of the SUP community and we're sure you'll continue to have a blast out on the water. The 96 is an amazing weapon of choice to take the sport head-on. Thanks for choosing Hala and happy paddling!

I’m in love with this board! I bought it last year and have been able to spend a full season with it. This thing is like a Ferrari on the water compared to other boards I’ve tried. It turns on a dime and maneuvers like a champ. Initially I found my balance on it to be a little shaky because it handles so differently, but once I got some time in with it, there’s absolutely no turning back! I mainly use it on the Boise River which has some shallow parts… on my previous board with a fixed fin, I would be puckering going through rapids or little drops waiting for my fin to hit and send me Supermanning over the front. The Stomp Box and retractable fin system is an absolute game-changer! I have so much more confidence to hit bigger waves and navigate shallower sections, it’s truly unbelievable how much a difference this thing has made on my paddleboarding experience! Kudos Hala, so glad I pulled the trigger and I can’t wait for more years of adventuring with my Hala Atcha! Pic attached shows just how confident I am on this thing now.. we had a recent Witches in the Water event and I wore a fully inflatable costume with zero issues! ‘Nuff said… if you are trying to improve your skill or challenge yourself on more complex water features, this the board you want!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are thrilled to hear that the Atcha 96 has given you such confidence on the water. We designed this board to be a game-changer and it sounds like it has definitely lived up to that for you. We can't wait for you to continue adventuring with it for years to come. Happy paddling!

I learned and grew as a whitewater paddler on the Atcha 9’6. The retractable fin was a game changer from my first board. It provided me with stability and the confidence to keep pushing myself higher. As I have grown I have started playing with the 7’11 as well, but the 9’6 is still my go to board for big water, safety boating and racing.
