River Cruisers
Shop our River Cruisers if you want a River Series board that is just as happy on a calm lake as it is in raging whitewater.
Like the Atchas, these boards feature an extra-durable construction and Hala's patented StompBox 2.0 Retractable Center Fin.
While they may not surf as easily as the Atchas, they are able to be heavily rigged for multi-day expeditions while still performing just how you'd like them to.

What's the Difference?
Rado vs. Radito
Think of the Radito as the Rado's younger sibling. They have the same board shape and features, but are sized differently for different sized paddlers or intended loads.
Most people end up being comfortable on either board, but those who favor rigging for expeditions tend to go for the Rado while those who only need a SUP for day trips or lighter loads opt for the Radito.

Ultimate Stability
The Hala Fame was originally intended to be an inflatable SUP for adaptive paddlers. Turns out, this makes it a great option for so many other types of paddlers, including anglers, yogis, and families with children and dogs!
Its wide body, flatter profile, and square tail shape make it ultra-stable. In turn, it loses some of the speed and manueverability seen in our other River Series boards.

Convertible Quick Release (with ankle conversion option)
Available in 7' and 9', Hala Gear's Convertible Leash does it all! Paddle moving water AND flat water with the same leash. This unique design has two different attachment options.
Option 1: Releasable leash - if you choose a leash for river paddling, you must have at least one easily-reachable (torso-area) mechanism to release it. The sailing shackle and locking carabiner attach to your PFD. The shackle ball system quickly and safely releases you from your board.
Option 2: Ankle Leash - Plan to paddle flat water as well? Convert the system to an ankle leash by attaching the ankle cuff to the same sailing shackle, and the leash is ready for flat water and surf environments.
Features:
- Two Attachment Options
- Coiled body (reduces drag and keeps the leash out of the way)
- Sailing Shackle
- PFD Quick-release
Shorter 7’ leash:
- Better for river-specific
- River Surfing
- Keeps the board closer in moving water
Longer 9’ leash:
- Better for expedition paddling
- Flat water excursions
- Crossover paddlers
SUP Safety Tip: **A leash is an important tool for paddleboarding. However, proper knowledge and correct use are essential to staying safe.
NEVER use an ankle leash on moving water, including rivers and creeks. An ankle leash can hinder your ability to swim effectively and can be difficult to impossible to release, which can be dangerous and even fatal. Decide if a leash is a good fit for your paddling style and safety plan before heading out.
