Hala Gear

Rigged for Adventure

Hala Gear, born on the banks of the Yampa River, started with a vision to create gear for whitewater stand up paddling and has emerged to lead the way in the design of inflatable boards. This vision has since spread beyond the river to offer incredible SUPs and accessories in every segment of the sport.

Hala Gear designs and produces a line up of stand-up paddleboards and accessories that deliver performance, durability, innovation, and quality.

Through the years, Hala has led the charge in whitewater SUP and inflatable technology. With multiple patents and designs that define categories, Hala's boards ignite unique adventures and are used worldwide to push the limits of SUP.

Thank you for your support! Hala!

The Vision

Launched in 2011 by Peter Hall, Hala began with the vision of bringing self-expression to the water, wanting to explore rivers in new ways and mix surfing with river running in a new way.
