Whitewater, yoga and surf - Hala Atcha Inflatable SUP Board

I think this is the best board for average to large-sized riders for whitewater (smaller riders could look towards the Atcha 86). The rocker in the nose punches through wave trains with ease, and the extreme stability has me wondering how I'm still standing when I've thought I'd lost it for sure. It really helps with confidence, which then really helps with progression to the point where class 2 feels relaxed and I now enter class 3 with a focused confidence instead of just shear terror and tenacity. Because of the tail rocker, the board also surfs well on impromptu river waves, and in whitewater parks. Smaller boards will provide faster turning and better carving for advanced riders, but this is a great board to learn to river surf on and is still fun. It's a big enough board to use for SUP yoga, and the stability lends confidence for that as well. The padded board surface is nice for yoga too. I'm really happy with it. It's my go-to board for whitewater, and for learning to surf new waves, or when the flows are really high and my usual waves are too crazy for a smaller board. The stompbox has an auto-retracting center fin that's great for low water and you can put in bigger or smaller fins for high or low water, or too adjust the feel of the board for surfing.
