Riviera Paddlesurf

Sunday Funday [VIDEO]

A few sunday's ago we got the Riviera Crew together for a morning paddle. There was about 14 of us including two Photogs and driver on the chase boat. This time Royce Gracie, David James Elliot and Jetson came down to paddle and learn a few paddling tricks from the pro's. We started from Dana Point harbor and headed North into Laguna, and we were lucky to get some sun through the thick fog. Check out the video... There is a bunch of footage of danny riding boatwake on his 404 14'...
Enjoy!

 

SUPer Goodtimes...

Occasionally we get photos and videos from people riding our boards.  We try to share as many of them as we can on our blog and facebook etc.  The below video was sent to us last week from James surfing his Riviera 10'6".  Knee high surf has never looked so good. 

If you have any good shots of you and your friends stand up paddling, send them to us at info@rivierapaddlesurf.com or share them on our facebook Page HERE.

Thomas in Utah...[VIDEO]

We've been holding onto this footage since our trip to Utah for the H2Overdrive race this summer.  We had some down time in between races and trade shows, so spent a few hours before dark filming Thomas stand up paddling around the small lake/pond in Park City...  Utah in the summer is a great place to be.  Enjoy!

River Surfing - Alberton Gorge

Adam from Lavenworth Mountain Sports sent us a few pictures of him surfing the Rivi 10'6" on the Alberton Gorge.  We've heard stories of overhead surf in rivers, so I'm sure we'll be seing some more pictures like these coming through the wires in the future.

Dana Point Downwinder - 29 May 2011

This time of year in Southern California we get some really windy days.  Days like this last Sunday would normally keep us out of the water, but 22 mph onshore winds are perfect conditions for a downwind paddle.  We made a few calls to our Riviera Team riders and a few friends and loaded up the boat with 10 Paddlers and crew including Thomas "Maximus", Brian Haag, Brandon Rambo, Jason McIllwee, Chuck Patterson, Dane Deboer, Brad Rambo, Taylor Rambo, Kyle Kelley, and Brian Stockdale.  The winds were kicking up some 3'-5' wind swell, and it took us about an hour to get 8 miles out.  Once we flipped the boat around everyone bailed off the boat and we realized how good the wind swell was when paddlers would disappear in the trough of the waves.  We took about a million photos,  and picked out our favorites to post here on the site... Enjoy.

Surfing the Ron House 12'6" raceboard

We went out a few days ago to shoot Brandon on his Ron House 12'6" carbon raceboard...  Our raceboard shoot quickly turned into a SUP surf sesh.  Turns out the RH 12'6" handles surf as well as it does flat water.... Probably be why it is Brandon's board of choice for Racing and Cruising.  Check out the photos below.

 

 

Dawn Of The Demo - Florida

We've been cruising around Florida doing demos, and spreading the word about our Boards for the past few days.   We have all of our stand up paddle boards, paddles, and gear for people to try out.   Danny Ching is with us to show off his 404 fleet and drop some paddling knowledge on unsuspecting demo participants.  It can't hurt to steal a few techniques from a pro.

We started tuesday off with a Demo at Dania Beach, and rambled on to another demo with the crew at Jupiter Paddleboards..  Check out the photos from both demos below...
