River rapids present unique challenges and recreational opportunities for stand up paddle boarders. Whitewater paddlers generally want ample width for stability, rugged construction, nose rocker, and convenient tie down points for a leash and other accessories.
Whitewater inflatable paddle boards fall into several categories and can be tailored for specialist use such as wave surfing or rapids - or can be a sturdy all round board that is designed for casual river paddling use.
