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.

A new feature for 2010, we have increased the through holes at the nose of the board for using 3/8 in. (12mm) diameter rope. We also added brass threaded inserts to teh bottom of the board for mounting removable HDPE plastic ice rails. These ice rails have dramatically improved the ability to slide the board over snow covered, bumpy ice terrain.
