Fresh, Fast & Fun: SUPBoarder’s First Look at the VE Riva SUP Paddle

SUPBoarder Mag: VE Riva Whitewater Paddle – Quick Look

The Riva is our answer to the growing demand for a whitewater SUP paddle that can take a beating, offers precision, and feels nimble on the water. Crafted with a durable, full-carbon layup and our signature paddle design expertise, it’s lightweight, powerful, and built for the rapids.

What SUPBoarder loved:

• Refined feel and control in rough water
• Robust construction that stands up to whitewater abuse
• Fresh design that brings something new to the SUP paddle scene

They had their whitewater SUP tester Beth Kirby test it out on the water for a few weeks. Head over to their blog to find out their first impressions.

The Riva is built to perform when it matters most and we are stoked to bring a strong addition to the SUP paddle market.
