Intentional Design
At Hala Gear, we are serious about intentionally designing gear for everybody. Through rigorous testing, feedback from our team and customers, quality materials, and thoughtful design – we're confident that our gear will provide paddlers the opportunity to adventure better.
our process
We're always taking feedback from our team members, customers, and employees. We LOVE hearing from people who actually use our gear and actively encourage those paddlers to reach out to us with ideas.
Real feedback from real paddlers is what keeps Hala boards ahead of the game.
From the very first paddle stroke, you can feel that your Hala board is built to perform.
No Shortcuts
We don't take shortcuts. Everything is carefully chosen and quality tested, and it shows.
While some companies try to copy Hala's every move and innovation, relying on Hala to cut a path, we keep charging ahead in whitewater SUP and inflatable SUP design. Thank you for being on the ride with us!
Our gear is the definition of a "labor of love." We put in extra effort and attention to detail, adding value where it matters most.
The StompBox 2
Hala pioneered the retractable fin system for inflatable boards when we released the original StompBox in 2015.
We have continued to hone the design, making updates to ensure the fin is built for PERFORMANCE, stabilizing it in all directions so you can trust your fin to ferry and drive your board (without the fin bouncing up and down like a raquetball).
The spring system on the StompBox keeps the fin engaged and stable, keeping you in charge of your board.
Centralized Rigging
We're serious about making our boards a vehicle for adventure. We centralized and softened all the rigging points on our boards. This distributes the weight more effectively (allowing more central loading) and keeps your knuckles from hitting metal D-rings.
Nylon Rigging Options
Soft rig points are ready for gear (and won't bust your knuckles)

Nose & Tail Handles
Reinforced nose and tail handles for solid grabbing, especially if you're tandem carrying a board.
Stomp PAd
Great for dynamic paddlers. Step back onto the board without looking down.
Can You Get Board Specific?
Rado
The 9" fin from our Stompbox 2 adds significant amounts of tracking performance - and we often run without side bite fins - but they can add a nice new performance flavor to the mix.
The click fins on our Rado, Radito, Atcha 96 and 86 let you customize your fins for the water of the day.
