Contact Brandon@rivierapaddlesurf.com to prebook.

The entry is a racing canoe hull so it slices thru the water and
midway it blends into a flat bottom finishing with hard rails towards the
diamond shaped tail.  The deck is scooped out with curves from a Ferrari
lowering the paddlers center of gravity.  A single aero foiled wing fin that
Ron recently developed along with the exceptionally clean lines make the
board point and track exceptionally straight. Many of the other boards we
tested against darted right and left decreasing the number of strokes
achievable on each side to hold a direct course.

Two models offered; EPXII epoxy Fiberglass, and EPXII Carbon Fiber

Developed for racing, touring, adventuring, in smooth to moderate conditions as
we have here in California.  Perfect for lakes and rivers as well as there
is minimal rocker.  12′6″ x 29″ x 6″  F1 = 33 lbs  C1 = 26 lbs.

Race boards were put to the test at Dana Point’s evening paddle fest. Minds and bodies digested the variation of craftsmanship. Which board proved the fastest? A boat is only as fast as it’s motor!

RH12.6

Riviera unveiled it’s latest Ron House 12′6″ race board at the Surf Expo, Orlando. His finest to date!

The ultra-sleek racing canoe hull slices through the water and midway blends into a flat bottom finishing with hard rails toward a diamond shaped tail. A scooped our deck lowers the paddler’s center of gravity. The single “Aero Foil” wing fin developed by Ron House makes the board point and track exceptionally straight. We’ve tested it against many of the competitive 12.6’s and it’s very fast and stable. These beauties will be available this Spring.
