White water paddle board, river sup?...yes you can!

Paddle boards are not limited to cruising on flat water or catching waves at the beach. Paddle boards from premier brands like Glide and our white water experts make our paddle boards the perfect whitewater paddle board. We have made our customers a custom whitewater paddle board for paddle boarding the White Nile. And with Ken's days as one of Riots pro whitewater paddlers and insight we are certain our whitewater inflatable paddle boards or hard stand up paddle boards will be the best choice for you when switching from flat water paddling to running river rapids to whitewater or river surfing.

Sup Fishing Paddle Boards

Sup fishing is a great way to explore your favorite fishing holes or find a new favorite fishing hole.

Paddleboard fishing from the Glide 02 Angler gives an amazing sup fishing experience. The stand up paddle board has four deck mounts for fishing accessories, including fishing rod holders.
