The Ultimate Fishing Platform
Reach the Holes Nobody Else Can Get To.
Whether you are casting on a mountain lake, trolling a calm reservoir, or floating down a river between holes, four Hala boards are built for fishing — and each one fits a different angler.
For maximum stability, start with the Rado or the Hoss. Both run 10’10″ × 35″ — Hala’s widest hull — and both carry everything you need for a full day on the water. The Rado adds the patented StompBox 2.5 retractable fin for rivers and technical shallow water. The Hoss delivers that same 35″ wide platform with a standard fin system at a lower price, making it the most accessible fishing platform in the lineup.
The Radito and the Straight Up are slightly narrower — still plenty stable for standing and casting all day. Both come with soft rigging points so you can attach a mini cooler you can sit on, rig a rod holder, and secure whatever accessories you need for the day. The Radito carries StompBox 2.5 for confident river access. The Straight Up keeps it versatile with a standard fin. All four approach silently — no motor, no splash — so the fish do not know you are there.
