Conceived specifically to perform the next generation of dynamic wave and hole moves, the Inferno is designed to go big.

The Inferno's acceleration and down the line speed make large scale aerial moves a reality. Generous volume helps paddlers stomp their landing, ready to set-up for the next move. A unique side-edge design with an extremely high rail to improve carving provides for stability and forgiveness.

About the tester


I've been paddling for a couple of years now, and have tried a few boats out, but the Inferno was my favourite from the moment I jumped in.

Test environment


Tested it out on the Moawhango river near Taihape, a cruisy little grade two river with a couple of small drops.

Review


It's a little slow but but you can expect that from such a short boat, super maneouverable, and has the nicest outfitting I've ever seen. The thigh braces really lock you into the seat until you wanna get out.

Wicked edges and it's easy to roll when things don't go to plan.

Conclusion


Primo little boat for the rivers and for out in the surf.

Good job to the riot team.
