Badfish 1" Soft Flex Click Fin Side Bite for River Running – Black
$28.00 USD
Agile. Low-Profile. River-Ready.
River running punishes the wrong gear fast. The Badfish 1" Soft Flex Click Fin Side Bite for River Running – Black is built for paddlers who push into technical water and need fins that stay out of trouble. It's raked-out, low-profile geometry hugs the hull closely, so when your board skims over shallow rocks, the fins deflect instead of digging in — keeping you on your feet instead of flying headfirst into the current. Soft flex construction gives you that natural, responsive ride feel that rigid fins simply cannot match in fast-moving, unpredictable water.
What sets these apart is how effortlessly they fit into your river setup. Snap them into your Click Fin boxes in seconds, hit the water, and focus entirely on the run. Whether you are a weekend wave hunter or a seasoned whitewater SUP athlete, the Badfish 1" Soft Flex Click Fin Side Bite for River Running – Black is the side bite fin upgrade that your board actually deserves. Grab your set today and take on the river with the confidence that your gear will not let you down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these fins compatible with standard fin boxes?
No. These fins work exclusively with Click Fin boxes and will not fit FCS, Futures, or any other standard fin box system.
Why are these fins better for river running than standard fins?
The low-profile, raked-out design stays close to the hull, so fins deflect off rocks instead of catching them. This keeps you balanced and in control even in shallow, technical water.
Can I use these fins for ocean surfing or flatwater paddling?
Yes, the soft flex and side-bite design perform well in ocean surf conditions too. They are not recommended for flatwater racing or touring, where stiffer, longer fins are a better fit.
How do I install Click Fins?
Simply align the fin with your Click Fin box channel, press down, and snap it into place — no tools needed. Removal is just as quick, making swapping fins between sessions effortless.
Are the Badfish 1" Soft Flex Click Fin Pair durable enough for rocky riverbeds?
Absolutely. The soft flex material is designed to absorb impacts rather than crack, making it well-suited for the abrasive conditions of rocky rivers.

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.

If you're tired of soggy clothes and ruined camping gear, the Badfish 15L waterproof roll top dry bag is the upgrade your kit has been waiting for. Grab yours in Blue or Green and hit the water with complete confidence.
Key Features
Roll-Down Waterproof Closure: The classic roll-top design creates a secure, watertight seal that keeps gear completely dry in wet and submerged conditions — no zippers, no leaks.
D-Ring with Quick-Release Buckle: Attach, detach, and secure the bag effortlessly to your kayak, raft, or pack with the heavy-duty D-ring and quick-release buckle system.
Welded Seams: Heat-welded seams eliminate stitched weak points, ensuring every edge of the bag is fully waterproof and built to withstand rough handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Badfish 15L Waterproof Roll Top Dry Bag fully submersion-proof?
The roll-top closure with welded seams provides excellent waterproof protection and is designed to keep gear dry during paddling, splashing, and light submersion. For maximum protection, ensure the top is rolled down at least three full times before clipping the buckle.
What can I fit inside the 15L dry bag?
The 15-liter capacity is ideal for a change of clothes, a lightweight rain jacket, a small towel, snacks, and smaller camping essentials. It's perfectly sized for day trips and multi-day kayaking or rafting adventures.
Can I attach this dry bag to the outside of my kayak or raft?
Yes. The D-ring with quick-release buckle allows you to clip and secure the bag to raft frames, kayak decks, or backpack straps with ease, making it versatile for a variety of watercraft setups.
Is the 600D TPU material durable enough for whitewater use?
Absolutely. 600D TPU is specifically chosen for its resistance to abrasion, punctures, and heavy use — making it well-suited for the rough-and-tumble environment of whitewater rafting and kayaking, where bags get stuffed, compressed, and dragged regularly.
Can I use this for beach trips or open water kayaking, too?
Absolutely. While the Badfish 15L waterproof roll top dry bag is designed with paddling in mind, it performs just as well at the beach, on a sailboat, or anywhere else your gear risks getting wet.
Badfish 25L Waterproof Roll Top Dry Bag for Kayaking and Paddling

Whether you are running whitewater, loading up a raft for a multi-day river trip, or launching from a coastal put-in, the Badfish 25L waterproof roll top dry bag gives you the confidence to push further, stay longer, and focus on the paddle rather than worrying about what is sitting inside your bag.
Key Features
Roll-Down Waterproof Closure: The tried-and-true roll-top design seals out water with a simple, reliable fold-and-buckle system — no zippers to fail, no complicated closures to fumble with in a hurry.
D-Ring with Quick-Release Buckle: Clip, secure, and release your bag in seconds. The D-ring attachment point lets you tie the bag down to your raft, kayak deck, or pack frame so it stays put even in turbulent water.

Lightweight 600D TPU Construction: The 25L size is crafted from 600-denier TPU fabric — heavier duty than the smaller sizes — giving you the extra toughness needed for multi-day trips and high-abrasion environments without adding unnecessary weight.
Specifications
Material: 600D TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
Capacity: 25 Liters
Closure Type: Roll-top with quick-release buckle

Attachment: D-Ring on quick-release buckle

Best Use: Kayaking, whitewater rafting, canoe touring, multi-day paddling trips, river camping

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Badfish 25L Waterproof Roll Top Dry Bag if my kayak flips?
Absolutely. As long as the top is rolled down at least three times and the buckle is clipped shut, your gear stays dry even if the whole bag goes underwater briefly during a capsize.
Does the 600D TPU material hold up against rocky riverbanks and sharp raft hardware?
Yes, that's exactly why the 25L uses 600D TPU instead of the lighter ripstop found in smaller sizes — it's built to take scrapes, abrasion, and rough handling without tearing or cracking.
Will this bag float if it comes loose on the water?
A properly sealed and air-trapped roll-top dry bag does float, which gives you a real chance of recovering it if it breaks free — just make sure to use the D-ring to keep it clipped in place.
Can I stuff this directly into a dry box or raft cataframe without damaging it?
The 600D TPU construction handles being crammed, sat on, and wedged into tight spaces far better than thinner dry bags — that's exactly the kind of abuse it was designed for.
Is the 25L size too bulky for solo kayak touring?
Not at all. When rolled closed, the Badfish 25L Waterproof Roll Top Dry Bag packs down tightly enough to fit behind a kayak seat or in a stern hatch. This makes it just as practical on a solo touring kayak as it is strapped to a multi-person raft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these fins compatible with all Badfish inflatable boards?
No. These fins are only compatible with boards that feature click-fin boxes. This includes the Rivershred and thruster-configured Inflatable SK8. If your board uses a standard US fin box or FCS system, these fins will not fit.
What is the difference between these and the standard Click Fins?
The Badfish 2” Soft Flex Side Bite Click Fins are a lower-profile version of the standard side bite Click Fins. They sit closer to the board's surface, which can reduce drag and improve maneuverability in river and surf conditions.
Can I use these fins for ocean surfing as well as river paddling?
Yes! The soft flex construction and side bite profile make these fins versatile for both river running and ocean/lake surfing on your inflatable SUP.
How many fins come in the set?
Each set includes 2 fins, which is everything you need to complete a thruster or twin-fin side bite configuration on your board.
Why should I choose the 2" version over the standard 4" fins?
The 2" profile is perfect for shallow river sections where longer fins might snag on rocks, providing better clearance while still offering enough grip for surfing river waves.

Size Profile: Equivalent to "GX" side bites
Primary Material: Durable, high-flex composite
Intended Use: River surfing and stationary waves
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these fins compatible with my Badfish surfboard?
If your Badfish board has FCS fin boxes (such as the Wave Farmer, Shuvit, SK8, or Snapper), the Badfish 4" Thruster Surf Fin Set will fit directly. Always double-check that your board uses standard FCS boxes before purchasing.
What is the difference between the 3.5" and 4" Thruster Surf Fin Sets?
The 3.5" set is equivalent to the FCS "GL" side bites and is slightly smaller, offering a looser, spinnier feel suited for surfers who prioritize rotation and freedom. The 4" set (equivalent to FCS "GX") offers a touch more hold and drive, making it better for surfers who want to rip hard on the face while still having the slip for spins.
Do these fins work on ocean surfboards as well?
Yes. Since these fins are FCS-compatible, they can be used on any FCS fin box surfboard — ocean or river. However, the 4" sizing is specifically optimized for the shorter, more dynamic nature of river surfboard setups.
How do I install FCS fins?
FCS fins use a tab-and-grub-screw system. Insert the two fin tabs into the fin box slots, position the fin at your preferred angle, and tighten the grub screw (usually with a small flathead screwdriver or FCS key) to lock it in place.
Will the Badfish 4" Thruster surf fin set work for beginners?
The 4" Thruster Set is best suited for intermediate to advanced river surfers who are comfortable carving waves and want to enhance their performance. Beginners may find a softer flex or center fin setup easier to learn on before moving to a full thruster configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fins fit my Badfish SK8 or River Surfer board?
Yes. These fins are specifically designed for standard 2-tab fin boxes, which are the same boxes used on Badfish SK8 and River Surfer boards. They drop in and lock down with the included grub screw — no modifications needed.
Why should I use soft flex fins instead of rigid fins for river surfing?
River surfing means shallow water, rocks, and unpredictable impacts. Soft flex fins absorb impact and bend rather than snapping or cracking your finbox. This saves you from expensive board repairs and keeps you on the water longer.
Do the Badfish 4.5" Soft Flex Side Bite 2 Tab Tri-Fin Set – Black come with screws?
Yes. The set uses a standard grub screw for installation. It's important to fully tighten the screws to keep the fins locked securely in the finbox during your session.
Are these fins suitable for ocean or lake surfing as well?
While these fins are optimized for river surfing and whitewater conditions, their 2-tab compatibility means they can work in any board using a standard 2-tab fin box system. The soft flex may feel different than traditional surf fins in ocean swells, but they function effectively across multiple water environments.
What does "side bite" mean in a tri-fin setup?
In a tri-fin configuration, the two outer fins are called "side bites." They provide lateral hold, directional control, and stability. This set is built specifically for that side bite role, giving your board better tracking and response in fast-moving river current.

Crafted from ripstop TPU, this bag is engineered to stay light enough that you forget it's there — until the waves hit and everything inside stays perfectly dry. The roll top closure has stood the test of time for good reason: it is brilliantly simple, completely reliable, and requires zero maintenance. Paddlers, kayakers, surfers, and outdoor explorers trust this design because it simply never fails them on the water.
At just 5 liters, the Badfish 5L roll top dry bag is purpose-built for day trips where you need a secure, waterproof pouch for your phone, keys, wallet, or snacks without the bulk of a larger bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dry bag fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
The Badfish 5L Roll Top Dry Bag is fully waterproof when the roll-top closure is properly sealed — roll the top down at least three times before clipping the buckle. The welded seams and TPU construction ensure no water enters, even during submersion or heavy splashing.
What can I fit in a 5-liter dry bag?
The 5-liter size is ideal for smaller everyday essentials such as a smartphone, keys, wallet, energy bars, sunscreen, a compact first aid kit, or a light layer. It's designed as a day-use dry bag for short water outings rather than overnight gear storage.
How do I attach the dry bag to my kayak or paddleboard?
The bag features a D-ring paired with a quick-release buckle, allowing you to clip it directly to deck rigging, grab handles, or gear loops on your kayak, SUP, or raft for secure, hands-free carrying on the water.
What is TPU, and why is it better than PVC for a dry bag?
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a high-performance material that is lighter, more flexible, and more environmentally friendly than traditional PVC. It offers excellent tear and abrasion resistance while remaining soft and packable — making it the premium choice for lightweight waterproof dry bags.
Does the Badfish 5L Roll Top Dry Bag float if it falls in the water?
When properly sealed and containing air and lightweight items, the bag is buoyant and will float on the surface, making it easier to retrieve if dropped overboard.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Badfish Bomb Drop good for beginner river surfers?
Absolutely. The Bomb Drop's increased volume and forgiving foam construction make it an excellent choice for beginners getting into river surfing. It's stable enough to learn on, yet responsive enough to grow with you as your skills improve.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Badfish Carbon Performance 2-Piece adjustable SUP paddle different from aluminum or fiberglass paddles?
The full carbon twill construction makes this paddle significantly lighter and stiffer than aluminum or fiberglass alternatives. That means more power transfer with every stroke, less arm fatigue over long sessions, and a premium feel that performance paddlers immediately notice.
Is this paddle suitable for river surfing specifically?
Yes. It was designed with river surfing in mind. The 93-square-inch blade at an 8-degree angle gives you excellent catch and control in moving water, while the lightweight build lets you react quickly to changing currents and waves.
How does the lever-lock adjustment system work?
The patented lever-lock system allows you to adjust the paddle length by up to 16 inches with a simple flip of the lever — no twisting, no tools, no hassle. It locks securely in place so there's no slippage mid-stroke.

Badfish Donut River Tube Inflatable Platform - Blue/Yellow
$269.00 USD
Tough. Comfortable. River Ready.
Most river floats make you choose between comfort and toughness. The Badfish Donut River Tube Inflatable Platform - Blue/Yellow refuses that trade. Built using the same technology Badfish applies to their whitewater rafts, this is no basic floatie. It is a purpose-engineered, whitewater-ready inflatable designed to go wherever the current takes you and hold up season after season. Whether you are chasing mellow summer drifts with friends or riding out rowdy rapids, the Donut is the kind of gear that makes you forget you are using gear at all.
What really sets it apart is the experience on the water. The tapered front positions your legs naturally so fatigue stays on shore where it belongs, and the solid grab handles mean you stay in control when things get interesting. For anyone who has owned a flimsy seasonal float and watched it fall apart, the Badfish Donut River Tube inflatable platform - Blue/Yellow is the upgrade worth making — a performance river toy that earns its price across years of use, not just a single summer.
Key Features
Durable PVC Construction: Built from abrasion-resistant PVC using the same material technology found in Badfish whitewater rafts, engineered to take on rocky riverbeds, strong currents, and all-day UV exposure without flinching.
Tapered Front Design: The tube narrows toward the front, allowing your legs to rest in a natural, relaxed position so you can float longer without discomfort or fatigue.
Standard SUP Valve Inflation: Inflates quickly through a standard SUP valve using any SUP pump, so there are no proprietary adapters or guesswork involved.
Heavy-Duty Self-Draining Floor Panel: A built-in self-draining floor panel clears water automatically, keeping the tube light and ride-ready at all times.
Molded Side Handles: Two molded handles are positioned on either side so you maintain a secure, confident grip even when the current picks up.
Reinforced Stainless Steel D-Rings: Heavy-duty stainless steel D-rings provide solid attachment points for dry bags, cooler tethers, or connecting to other floats for group setups.
Specifications
Material: Abrasion-resistant PVC (same construction technology as Badfish whitewater rafts)
Valve Type: Standard SUP valve
Inflation Method: SUP pump (sold separately)
Handles: 2 molded side handles
D-Ring Material: Stainless steel, reinforced
Floor Panel: Heavy-duty self-draining
Frequently Asked Questions
What pump do I need to inflate the Badfish Donut?
The Badfish Donut uses a standard SUP valve, which means any SUP pump works perfectly for inflation. Electric SUP pumps are especially convenient for fast, effortless setup.
Is the Donut built for whitewater or just casual floating?
Both. Badfish engineered the Badfish Donut River Tube inflatable platform - Blue/Yellow using the same PVC technology behind their whitewater rafts, so it handles moving water, rocky currents, and light whitewater confidently.
What makes the Badfish Donut different from a standard pool or river float?
The construction quality is in a completely different class. The abrasion-resistant PVC body, stainless steel D-rings, self-draining floor panel, and molded grab handles are all features you simply do not find on typical seasonal inflatables.
Can I attach a dry bag or cooler to the Badfish Donut River Tube inflatable platform - Blue/Yellow?
Yes. The reinforced stainless steel D-rings are purpose-built for exactly that. You can clip in a dry bag, a soft cooler, or connect to another tube in your group for a full river float setup.
How do I store the Badfish Donut between uses?
After each use, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water to clear sand and grit, then allow it to fully air-dry before folding and storing. Keep it in a cool, shaded location away from prolonged UV exposure to protect the PVC and maximize its lifespan.
