1.5” STOMP PAD
A 1.5” stomp pad allows for precise control and maneuverability of your board.
STEP FLAT CENTER HANDLE
A sliver of the deck pad is removed from under the handle so that it “steps flat”. No more of your handle getting in the way while you’re walking your line. A removable padded neoprene handle provides comfortability for carrying the board.
DIAMOND GROOVE DECK PAD
A diamond grooved EVA deck pad allows for maximum traction through the gnarliest of whitewater sections while still being gentle enough for the bare hands and feet in your downward dog.
SOFT & CENTRALIZED RIGGING POINTS
All of Hala's rigging points are now made of high-quality webbing to prevent the knuckle-busting that metal rings cause. And since these webbing rings are designed as close to the center stringer line as possible, you don't have to sacrifice performance when you need to strap heavy gear on board.
ALL-WATER SHAPE
The outline of this board gives you the stability to feel confident on any water and is sleek for speed and efficiency.
SQUARE TAIL
A squared-off, blunt tail provides quick release and rail to rail response while adding secondary stability for slower maneuvers.
TAIL D-RING FOR TOWING
Tow your board from the D-Ring rigging point located under the nose. This comes in handy on multiday river trips or for tying your board up when you want to take a break.
PADDLE STASH RIGGING
With one hand, the bungee chord upfront conveniently and quickly holds your paddle when you're doing yoga or reeling in the catch of the day!
PROGRESSIVE ROCKER
Hala's Progressive Rocker is designed to be playful in the waves and snappy along the flatwater sections of river. The nose rocker is punchy, the middle of the SUP is reasonably flat, and tail rocker gives you quick directional control. This paddleboard strikes the perfect balance between the sportiness of River Rocker and the speed of Glide Rocker.
THE “UNBREAKABLE” FIXED FINS
This lower-tech, but higher durability setup is ideal for those who have no preference on their fin configuration. These non-removable 2.5" fixed fins are available on the Hoss, Straight Up, and the Playa. As the name suggests, these fins are very durable, perform very well in shallow water, and stand up to whatever beating is thrown their way.
CENTER FIN BOX
The universal fin box comes standard on many inflatable paddleboards across a variety of brands. This is a longer fin box that can accept a variety of fin sizes: 3” Gummy, 4.5” Gummy, 8” Gummy, or 9” Race fins (available from Hala) or any U.S. Fin Box compatible fins. This fin box is ideal for flatwater adventures or high-flow SUP racing on rivers where larger fins are necessary for taking the scoop out of your paddle stroke for maximum forward power.
THICK FUSION CONSTRUCTION™
Thick Fusion is Hala's high-end, multi-coated Fusion Drop Stitch, making their river boards lighter and still ready to take all of the abuse. The core of Hala Gear SUPs uses a stacking and bonding process that gives you a tougher board that lasts longer.
Hala uses a thicker, slightly heavier fusion, to keep things beefier for improved abrasion resistance - it costs a little more to make, but the dependability in all environments is worth it. Hala is able to use less material overall by utilizing a new manufacturing technology that maintains overall durability.
BACKCOUNTRY ROLLING BACKPACK
A rolling backpack designed with each rolled board shape in mind. This roller doubles as an ergonomic padded backpack that can be carried anywhere you go. The straps easily stash for when you check your bag. Fits your board, pump, and collapsible paddle.
