RIVERx RESCUE BOARD

The new generation in small, swift water rescue and recreational flotation devices, the RIVERx board features improves function, durability and affordability over other existing products used today. Attributes include rotomolded superlinear polyethylene shell (like kayaks), drain/vent plug, dished deck, forearm elbow wells, 3/8" thick deck cushion, sturdy flexible handgrips for multiple persons or for body positioning, and holes for rope use in performing ferry angles and ice rescues. Additionally, the sled length has been increased in order to provide extra flotation and torso to mid-thigh rock and debris protection, not available in traditional bodyboards. Not featured in any other swift water rescue or recreational river board (hydrospeed or sledge) on the market, are the deep channels and reverse chines. These are important features which enable the rider to direct and carve turns. Without them, the rider cannot adequately maneuver the board where he/she wants it to go, and a great deal of side skipping is experienced. The RIVERx is a very secure platform to ride on, even while wearing a bulky pfd.

RIVERx Rescue Boards Are Excellent for
ICE RESCUE
   
After lifelines have been attached to the rescuer and at the nose of the RIVERx board, the board can be slid out to the ice edge and onto the water.     The Rescuer assists the victim onto the flotation device
   
The victim grabs ahold onto the front handgrips on the RIVERx rescue board.     The rescue crew operating the lifeline pull the victim to safety by popping the board out of the water and onto the ice. The rescuers continue pulling on the board until the victim is in the safe zone.
