Badfish River Rat 40" River Surfing Bodyboard | High-Performance Whitewater Board
$162.00 USD
Agile. Rugged. Pure River Fun.
The Badfish River Rat 40" river surfing bodyboard is the ultimate tool for conquering inland surf. Inspired by the local groms at the whitewater park, we’ve taken the classic beach bodyboard and re-engineered it specifically for the unique dynamics of river waves.
By integrating a high-volume EPS core and an aggressive nose rocker, the River Rat prevents pearling in steep faces, allowing you to stay locked into the pocket of rowdy river features. Whether you are a seasoned river surfer looking for a new perspective or a beginner catching your first standing wave, this board offers unmatched stability and maneuverability.
Badfish River Rat 40" river surfing bodyboard isn't just another piece of gear. It’s a high-performance whitewater board designed to make every session feel like a day at the beach, providing a low-impact, high-thrill way to explore your local river park.
Key Features
Increased Nose Rocker: Designed specifically to handle the steepness of river waves and prevent diving in turbulent whitewater.
Deep Channel Bottom: Enhances water flow and tracking, giving you superior control and edge-to-edge stability during carves.
Crescent Tail Design: Provides a comfortable hip-lock for the rider while increasing bite on the wave face for better directional control.
High-Density Slick Bottom: The HDPE slick ensures maximum speed and durability when sliding over foam or dealing with shallow river sections.
Lightweight EPS Core: Offers 30 liters of buoyancy, making it easy to paddle into position and stay afloat in aerated water.
Specifications
Color: Blue / Orange / Pink / Lime
Dimensions: 40” x 20” x 2 7/8”
Total Volume: 30 Liters
Bottom Material: HDPE Slick Bottom
Tail & Hull: Crescent Tail with Channel Bottom
Core Material: EPS (Expanded Polystyrene)
Board Weight: 5lbs
Rider Weight Capacity: 40lbs - 240lbs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the River Rat designed for ocean use or rivers only?
While it technically works in ocean shorebreak, the River Rat was purpose-built for river waves. The increased nose rocker, channel bottom, and EPS volume are specifically tuned for the fast, continuous nature of whitewater park waves and river surf spots — where it truly excels.
What age or skill level is the River Rat best suited for?
All of them. With a rider capacity of 40-240 lbs, it's designed for kids, teens, adults, and anyone in between. No prior bodyboarding experience is required.
Do I need fins to ride the River Rat?
Fins are not required, especially in a river park setting where the current does most of the work, carrying you into the wave. However, experienced riders who prefer ocean-style bodyboarding or want more kick in slower currents may choose to use bodyboard fins.
How does the HDPE slick bottom hold up against rocky riverbeds?
Very well. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a tough, abrasion-resistant material specifically chosen for its durability in rocky, high-impact river environments. It's built to take hits, so you don't have to worry about every bump.
What makes this different from a standard ocean bodyboard?
The River Rat features a higher nose rocker and deeper channels compared to a standard beach bodyboard. These design elements are critical for whitewater performance — they help the board handle turbulent, aerated river water and keep you surfing instead of getting washed off the wave.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Badfish ShredTown different from a standard ocean foamy?
Unlike traditional ocean soft-tops, the Badfish ShredTown 4’6” river shortboard is specifically engineered for river waves. It features a specialized rocker profile and a square tail designed to handle the constant, high-pressure flow of a standing wave, providing the rail-to-rail response that river surfers require.
Who is the ShredTown 4’6” river surfboard designed for?
This board is ideal for intermediate to advanced river surfers looking for a high-performance "shortboard" feel. However, because it is a durable foam surfboard, it is also a fantastic choice for aggressive beginners who want a board that can withstand hits against rocks or shallow river beds.
Can I use the ShredTown for surfing at whitewater parks?
Yes. The ShredTown is built for the "Shred Town" vibe found in places like Salida, CO. Its compact 4'6" length and HDPE slick bottom make it perfect for navigating urban whitewater parks, allowing for tight turns and technical maneuvers in confined wave faces.
How durable is the Hybrid Foam Core on the ShredTown?
The hybrid foam core is designed for maximum impact resistance. It provides the buoyancy and safety of a soft-top while maintaining enough rigidity to prevent "buckling" during high-speed carves. It is the perfect balance of durability for rocky rivers and professional-grade performance.
Why is Badfish ShredTown 4’6” River Shortboard called a "foamy" if it’s high-performance?
"Foamy" refers to the soft-top construction, which is safer and more durable in rocky river environments. However, the ShredTown uses a hybrid core and dialed-in rocker to ensure it performs like a traditional hard-shell shortboard.

What is an HDPE slick bottom, and why does it matter for river surfing?
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a hard, slick plastic material used on the bottom of the board. In river surfing, you'll regularly encounter rocks, shallow water, and abrasive riverbeds. The HDPE bottom protects the board from damage and helps it glide smoothly over obstacles that would destroy a standard surfboard.
How does the "foamie" construction hold up against river rocks?
The Badfish Bomb Drop 5' river shortboard - Olive is built for the river. The HDPE slick bottom is specifically chosen for its ability to slide over obstacles that might ding or crack a traditional fiberglass board.
Can I use the Badfish Bomb Drop in the ocean?
While the Bomb Drop is designed and optimized for river surfing, its surfy shape and shortboard dimensions can work in small ocean waves as well. However, it truly shines in river environments where its durable construction and compact size give it a real advantage.
How does the removable tri-fin setup work?
The tri-fin system uses standard fin boxes that allow you to install, remove, or replace the three fins without tools. Riding with all three fins provides maximum control and drive, while removing fins can make the board looser and more playful.
Badfish Mana-G 5' High-Performance River Shortboard | Tri-Fin
$749.00 USD
Powerful. Legendary. Built for Bigger Riders.
Most surfers over 230 lbs know the frustration — you paddle into a great wave, and your board just sinks under you. The Badfish Mana-G 5' high-performance river shortboard was built to fix exactly that.
Named after G-Mo, one of the original Badfish legends, this 5' high-performance river shortboard was shaped for bigger riders who want to actually surf, not just stay afloat. It's the kind of board that makes you realize what you've been missing — quick off the tail, locked in through turns, and alive in the pocket in a way that heavier riders rarely get to feel.
Badfish Mana-G 5' high-performance river shortboard is not a board that asks you to adjust your style. It's a board that finally keeps up with it.
Key Features
Big-Rider Geometry: Specifically shaped with extra volume and surface area to support surfers 230+ lbs without sacrificing maneuverability.
Legendary Pedigree: Inspired by G-Mo and the Flat Earth design, ensuring a professional-grade feel on every wave.
Premium Construction: Built with a high-quality EPS/Fiberglass layup for the perfect balance of flex, weight, and long-term durability.
Advanced Venting: Features an integrated Gore-Tex® vent to automatically regulate internal pressure and prevent delamination.
Versatile Fin Setup: Equipped with a reliable FCS Tri-Fin system for maximum drive, tracking, and customizable water flow.
Specifications
Dimensions: 5'0" x 25" x 2.5"

Core Material: EPS / Fiberglass Construction
Ventilation: Gore-Tex® pressure relief vent
Fin Configuration: FCS Tri-Fin (Thruster)
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Badfish Mana-G different from other river shortboards for bigger riders?
Most high-volume shortboards simply stretch the length to add float — the Mana-G takes a different approach. By scaling up the width and overall outline of the proven Flat Earth shape, it keeps the board in a true shortboard length while delivering the surface area and volume that bigger riders need to maintain real performance.
Is the Mana-G only for riders over 230 lbs?
The Mana-G was specifically designed with surfers over 230 lbs in mind, but any rider who wants a high-volume, wide-body shortboard with a legendary pedigree will find it responsive and fun. It's not a beginner board — it rewards surfers who already have their fundamentals dialed in.
Can I ride the Mana-G on ocean waves as well as river waves?
While the Mana-G was shaped by Badfish for river surfing, its EPS/fiberglass construction and FCS fin system make it adaptable to small-to-mid ocean surf as well. That said, it's truly at home on a standing river wave where it can be pushed to its limits.
Why is 34 liters of volume important for a 5'0" shortboard?
Volume directly controls buoyancy and planing speed. Heavier riders need more volume to keep a board on top of the water rather than plowing through it. At 34 liters, the Mana-G gives bigger surfers the lift they need to generate speed, hold through turns, and stay agile — without sacrificing the snappy, shortboard feel.
How do I care for the Mana-G's EPS/Fiberglass construction?
Rinse with fresh water after every session and store in a padded board bag away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Prolonged UV exposure can weaken the fiberglass laminate and cause discoloration. Repair any dings promptly to prevent water intrusion into the EPS core.
Badfish Aqua Culture 5'2" River Shortboard | 30L FCS Tri-Fin Surfboard
$749.00 USD
Versatile. High-Volume. Built to Rip.

It works by utilizing a responsive EPS core that translates every ounce of river energy into pure speed, giving you a board that feels remarkably "alive" and snappy underfoot, even when the current gets heavy.
This 30L FCS Tri-Fin surfboard is the ultimate solution for intermediate to advanced riders who refuse to let fluctuating flow rates ruin their session. You should buy this board because it bridges the gap between technical carving and reliable stability, ensuring you stay locked into the pocket while others struggle to keep pace. By upgrading to the Badfish Aqua Culture 5'2" river shortboard, you aren't just buying a new shape—you’re investing in a more consistent, aggressive river experience that turns challenging high-water runs into your personal playground.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Aqua Culture different from standard ocean surfboards?
Unlike ocean boards, this model is specifically tuned for the constant pressure of river waves, offering more volume and width in a shorter frame to maneuver in tight river pockets.
How does the Gore-Tex® vent protect my board during travel?
The vent allows the board to "breathe" by releasing air pressure caused by heat or altitude changes, preventing the fiberglass from delaminating or bubbling.
Can I ride this board in low-flow river conditions?
Yes, the extra width and 30L volume were specifically added to provide the "float" necessary to keep you surfing even when the river's power drops.
Which fin setup works best for this river shortboard?
The FCS Tri-Fin setup is ideal for maximum drive and stability, though you can experiment with different fin heights to loosen up the tail for 360s.
Is the EPS/Fiberglass construction durable enough for rocky river beds?
This construction offers a high strength-to-weight ratio for performance, though we always recommend caution in shallow, rocky areas to maintain the board's finish.

Badfish Flat Earth 4'10" Surfboard | 24.5L FCS Tri-Fin
$749.00 USD
Powerful. Stable. Built to Shred.
The Badfish Flat Earth 4'10" Surfboard is a game-changer for heavy hitters who refuse to settle for sluggish, oversized boards. While common logic suggests adding volume for larger riders, the Flat Earth proves that maximum surface area and a refined shape are the true secrets to agility.
By utilizing a flatter rocker profile and a wider, rounded pin tail, this board generates incredible lift and speed even in softer sections of the wave. It allows surfers weighing 200lbs and up to experience authentic shortboard performance, ensuring you can lay into deep rails and explosive turns without ever bogging down.
If you’ve been looking for a high-volume river surfboard that actually feels responsive underfoot, it’s time to join the movement and see why the Flat Earth is the ultimate "conspiracy" in performance surfing.
Key Features
High Surface Area Design: Engineered specifically for larger surfers to provide lift and speed without unnecessary bulk.
Flatter Rocker Profile: Optimized for maintaining momentum and gliding through flat spots on the wave.
Rounded Pin Tail: Offers a perfect blend of hold and pivot, allowing for smooth, powerful transitions during carves.
Gore-Tex® Integration: Features an automatic vent to equalize internal pressure, protecting your board from heat-related delamination.
FCS Tri-Fin Setup: Provides a reliable, versatile thruster configuration for maximum control and drive in various wave conditions.
Specifications
Dimensions: 4'10" x 21" x 2.0"
Volume: 24.5 Liters of high-buoyancy performance.
Construction: Durable EPS foam core wrapped in premium Fiberglass for a crisp, responsive feel.
Fin System: Industry-standard FCS Tri-Fin (fins sold separately).
Ventilation: Integrated Gore-Tex® breathable vent for long-term core protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is surface area more important than volume for larger river surfers?
By increasing the board's footprint, the Flat Earth creates immediate lift on the water's surface, allowing 200lb+ riders to maintain high speeds without the "sinky" feel of traditional low-volume boards.
How does the flatter rocker profile affect performance on stationary waves?
The reduced curvature ensures maximum contact with the wave face, preventing the board from pushing water, so you can glide through flatter sections and maintain your plane effortlessly.
Will the 4'10" length feel stable enough for a heavy-set rider?
Absolutely, because the 21" width provides a massive stable platform that compensates for the shorter length, giving you the agility of a shortboard with the balance of a much larger craft.
Is the Gore-Tex® vent something I need to manually adjust?
No, the integrated Gore-Tex® vent is a "set it and forget it" feature that automatically breathes to equalize pressure, protecting your investment from heat damage while you're on the road.
What makes the rounded pin tail better than a square tail for carving?
The rounded pin tail allows for smoother, more fluid rail-to-rail transitions, ensuring you don't "catch" or track awkwardly when laying into high-pressure turns.
Badfish Field Dresser 5'4" River Surfboard | High Performance 24L Fish
$749.00 USD
Precise. Powerful. Built to Carve.
Most river surfboards make compromises. The Badfish Field Dresser 5'4" river surfboard doesn't. Born from a real obsession — what if a river board rode exactly like the best ocean fish you've ever surfed? — Badfish shaper Zack took team rider Miles Harvey's personal favorite ocean surfboard and rebuilt it for the river, detail by detail. The result is a board that doesn't feel like a river board at all. It feels like a weapon. Compact, precise, and deceptively fast, it rewards commitment at every turn — dig a rail, and it holds, snap the tail, and it flies.
The Badfish Field Dresser 5'4" river surfboard is for the surfer who has outgrown their current setup. The one who hits a powerful river wave and wants more — more grip, more release, more of that locked-in, alive feeling underfoot that separates good surfing from great surfing. This isn't a board for everyone, and that's exactly the point. It's engineered for riders who are ready to surf at the next level — and refuse to settle for anything less.
Key Features:
Fish Tail Design: Super-thin fish tail inspired by elite ocean surfboards delivers explosive pivot, dynamic drive, and next-level carving ability on high-performance river waves
Carbon Stringer: Full-length carbon stringer provides torsional stiffness and pop, giving the board a lively, responsive feel underfoot without sacrificing durability
EPS/Fiberglass Construction: Lightweight, buoyant, and tough — the EPS core paired with fiberglass laminate keeps the board fast and resilient through heavy river use
Gore-Tex Vent: Temperature-regulating Gore-Tex vent prevents internal pressure buildup and delamination, extending the life of your board across seasons and climates
FCS 5-Fin System: Compatible with the full range of FCS fin setups — ride twin, quad, or thruster configurations to perfectly match your board to your wave and style
Pro-Inspired Shape: Designed by Badfish shaper Zack, modeled directly after team rider Miles Harvey's personal ocean fish — ridden and refined at the highest level before reaching your hands
Specifications:
Length: 5'4"
Width: 18"
Thickness: 2.3"
Volume: 24 liters
Stringer: Carbon Stringer
Vent System: Gore-Tex Vent
Construction: EPS/Fiberglass
Fin System: FCS 5-Fin compatible
Discipline: High-Performance River Surfing
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the Badfish Field Dresser suitable for beginner river surfers?
While it offers 24L of stability, this board is a high-performance shape designed for intermediate to advanced riders looking to execute aggressive carves and airs.
How does the thin fish tail design affect my river surfing performance?
The ultra-thin profile allows the tail to sink deeper into the wave face, providing "knife-like" grip and snappy release during high-speed turns.
What are the benefits of the Carbon Stringer in this surfboard?
The Carbon Stringer acts as the board’s spine, providing a lightweight reinforcement that creates a "pop" effect and prevents the board from feeling "dead" in the water.
Can I use my standard Ocean FCS fins with the Field Dresser?
Yes, the board features a standard FCS 5-fin box system, allowing you to swap in your favorite ocean fins to customize your drive and pivot.
Why does a river surfboard need a Gore-Tex vent?
Because river boards often sit in the hot sun between sessions, the vent allows internal gases to escape, preventing the EPS core from expanding and delaminating the fiberglass.

$749.00 USD

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Whiskey Throttle suitable for beginners?
While beginners can use it, this board is designed for intermediate to advanced riders seeking a fast, responsive board for high-performance river surfing.
What makes the single concave design important?
The single concave directs water flow straight through the bottom of the board, creating lift and reducing drag, which is essential for maintaining speed on a river wave.
Will the carbon stringer make a difference in river surfing?
Absolutely, the carbon stringer adds essential longitudinal stiffness that translates your movements into explosive "pop" and energy when driving through turns.
Can I use this board for 360-degree spins and technical tricks?
This board was built specifically for high-performance maneuvers, offering the speed and release needed to nail everything from massive carves to technical spins.
What is the benefit of the Tri Fin setup on a river wave?
The FCS Tri Fin configuration provides the perfect balance of tracking and drive, ensuring you have maximum control when navigating turbulent, fast-moving water.
Badfish Wave Charmer 5'6" Tri-Fin Surfboard
$749.00 USD
Powerful. Versatile. Built to Shred.
Born from the same trusted lineage as the Wave Farmer series, the Badfish 5'6" Wave Charmer Surfboard takes everything surfers already love about that proven shape and scales it up for those who need more — more float, more commitment, more wave count. It bridges the gap between high-performance shortboard surfing and real-world rideability, giving bigger riders a shortboard that finally works with their frame on fast, powerful waves, while offering lighter surfers the extra edge they need on slow, mushy days.
This isn't a board that waits for perfect conditions — it's a board that makes any condition worth paddling out for. Engineered to perform, built to last, and shaped to ride, the Wave Charmer is the upgrade your quiver has been missing.
Key Features
Advanced Volume Distribution: The 38-liter displacement provides superior buoyancy, making it easier to catch waves and maintain stability in turbulent river conditions.
Integrated Carbon Stringer: Adds structural rigidity and a lively "pop," allowing for explosive maneuvers and better energy transfer during carves.
Gore-Tex Vent Technology: Automatically regulates internal pressure to prevent delamination, ensuring your board survives temperature shifts and high altitudes.
FCS Tri-Fin Setup: Offers a classic thruster configuration for maximum tracking, drive, and control across a variety of wave shapes.
Durable Construction: Built with a high-quality EPS core and fiberglass wrap to balance lightweight performance with the ruggedness required for river environments.
Specifications
Dimensions: 5'6" x 20.5" x 3"
Total Volume: 38 Liters
Core Material: EPS Foam with Carbon Stringer
Shell Material: Fiberglass Reinforcement
Vent System: Automatic Gore-Tex Vent
Fin Configuration: FCS Tri-Fin (Fins included)
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 38L volume change my river surfing experience?
The extra displacement keeps you sitting higher on the water, providing the essential lift needed to stay in the pocket of weaker or flatter river waves.
What makes the Wave Charmer better for larger riders than the Wave Farmer?
It carries the same high-performance DNA but offers increased stability and surface area to support more weight without sinking or losing speed.
Can I trust the EPS/Fiberglass construction in rocky riverbeds?
This build balances a lightweight feel with high-density reinforcement, giving you the durability to handle the occasional bump while maintaining a professional-grade response.
Why is the Gore-Tex vent a "must-have" for traveling surfers?
The vent automatically regulates internal pressure as you change altitudes or temperatures, preventing your board from delaminating or "bubbling" during the drive to the river.
Does the carbon stringer actually improve my turns?
Yes, it acts like a spine for the board, providing a snappy flex that translates your foot movements into immediate, powerful energy on the wave face.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of the new welded seams?
Unlike traditional glued seams that can weaken over time due to heat and UV exposure, the 2026 Monarch features heat-welded seams. This creates a mechanical bond that is nearly impossible to delaminate, ensuring superior air retention and a much longer lifespan for the board.
How does the AirLite™ Drop Stitch affect performance?
The AirLite™ Drop Stitch material allows the board to maintain its rock-solid rigidity while being 10 lbs lighter than previous models. This makes the board more responsive on the water, easier to accelerate, and much less of a chore to carry to remote launch spots.
Is this paddleboard suitable for dogs or children?
Yes. With its generous 34-inch width and stable all-around shape, the Monarch is an excellent choice for "paddling with a partner." The updated full-length deck pad provides a comfortable, non-slip grip for a dog’s paws or a child sitting at the nose.
What is a "Hinged Fin Box" and why does it matter?
The Hinged Fin Box is a 2026 upgrade that allows the fin base to fold slightly when deflated. This prevents the fin box from being damaged during storage and makes it much easier to roll the board up tightly into its travel bag without creating awkward pressure points.
What is the recommended PSI for the Monarch?
For optimal performance and rigidity, we recommend inflating the Monarch to 12–15 PSI. Thanks to the welded seam construction, the board can safely handle these pressures to provide a stiff, "hard-board" feel even in choppy water or light river rapids.
